Almost at 2022

 Few hours to go and it is the New Year! 

And here's the traditional Year Ender blog post :) 

It seems 2022 was too fast - even my boss felt this too. 

Is it because I am too busy? There was even a time that I never left home for two weeks but it doesn't mean that I did not do anything - it was actually the opposite. 

In general, this year was so productive that it was exhausting yet I am thankful of the opportunities. And weirdly, I want more. 

This 2022, I am claiming for fruitful results, better overall health and genuine happiness to me and others. 

Indeed, there were results in terms of my career and businesses. My family and I are healthy & happy. 

It was a great year though I felt I given so much that I forgot to receive. Claiming that the new year, I will be able to feel the results of all the hard work and back pain of 2022 haha :) 

Travel, Finance & Health: I guess this year, I prioritized my mental health more by traveling. 

Thankfully, I was able to go on a new country which is Georgia (you know my life goal of visiting atleast 1 new country a year continues). Then I went home in the Philippines twice - which means I spent lots and lots of money. No regrets but I hope to save more next year haha! 

I also visited clinics most this year due to my eyes and skin issues that hopefully will improve. I also experience back pains lately (really need to improve my work chair).

Career & Relationships: Still the same, nothing new with my bf and I. I am happy for his success in terms of his career & business and I hope it will continue in the coming years. 

For me, I hope to still be an added value to my work company. It was my 3rd year already and one of my bosses posted on Linkedin about me which was unexpected and I am grateful. Need to work harder and smarter. 

Businesses & Investments: This year, my sister and I expanded our businesses which mean more efforts yet we received results. Need to improve more and plan things ahead. We need to be more organized and creative as there are too much competition now. 

It looks like I really spent a lot of penny this year (which means giving away too). Oh well, you really get what you pay for. 

Overall, 2022 is not too bad. I am thankful for all the blessings and opportunities, for the good health of my parents, myself and loved ones and for the peace of mind. 

It is not always perfect, there were things I am longing for but did not get. As they say, you can't have it all. But thankfully, I have them at ALMOST. 

Thank you 2022. I felt you can be better that's why I am looking forward for the New Year more :)

Purple

I'm in the Philippines! 

Yes, thankfully for 2022 I was able to go back home twice. :) 

Thank You Lord! Though it costs lots of penny, I have no regrets! Need to work harder. 

I was able to ride Emirates again - indeed you get what you pay for.

It's been 3 weeks now since I am here and I'm loving it. 

There were times I need to pause, then work then do business - I even watched a kdrama haha! :) 

For this holiday, I am spending quality time with my loved ones:

November 27 - Arrived in PH :) 

December 2 - I went to my good's friend Julie's wedding in Malate Church (the reason why I went home so early) and stayed for a night in Heritage Hotel Manila.

December 4-6 - My family and I went to Baguio (3rd time for me) for 2 nights. It was simple trip.

Gone were the days when my trips are like amazing races hahahaha. 

December 14-15 - I met with my momshie friend Nhery and had an overnight in Manila Hotel. Also had lunch in Barbara's, Intramuros the next day

December 17 - We had buffet of lobsters (thanks Kuya JB) in Fresh Solaire for our parents' wedding anniversary. 

December 18 - Dined in Bench Cafe with my HP friend Jhen and talked about life in general.

[ADD] December 22 - Met my highschool barkada Pam & Jamie with Marc at S Maison, MOA. Even if it was after 3 years, it felt like yesterday. That's what friends are for, really!

In betweens, I am strolling at the mall or chilling at home :D 

Christmas is approaching, no extravagant plans, just us family together.

And a new year is coming too. Am I excited? Yes I am!

I actually tried online Tarot Reading recommended by my sister. 

All in all, it was a positive and encouraging one that I hope to share next time.

Hoping for the best! 

Merry Christmas everyone! 

PS: I miss my bibbies Leo & Libra 

Double Three

My most favorite month will always be October.

Because it is my birth month. It's been 33rd year celebrating my birthday. 

It's been a while, I feel like I am now in the middle of my lifetime. 

How am I? Still the same which is good and bad :D 

Good because I am healthy and happy. My family is complete. I have my furbabies, career and businesses. 

Bad because I'm still not married (haha) which is always my wish to have my own family. When is that soon? Will it happen? I'm stuck. 

I want something new, I want to step up on the next level in terms of my relationship.

Sadly, it is only me wanting it. 

Oh well, you can't really have it all in life. 

As long as I'm happy and healthy - it is all good. 

I have my heart's desires and that's what makes life exciting. 

How did I celebrate my special day? with my sister and bf. 

So cute that it's always the three of us, just ate in a Thai restaurant and they gave me gifts & surprises. Told them I'm happy with only cake, then each of them gave me a cake haha! 

Now that I'm double three, I want to live a healthier and happier life. :) 

WFH

Today, it is officially my 3rd work anniversary in my current company. Thank You Lord!

It was the end of April 2019 when I received an email that it is my last day in a company I only worked for 4 months after my almost 5 years in another company. Both were the same, sorry for the word - toxic. Thankfully, after a week of hard work, prayers from my loved ones and luck, I was hired in a 180 degree work environment. Why? I never thought I will be working from home for 3 years now. 

I remember when I kept on asking where is the office location and they told me I can work anywhere. I thought it was just in the first few months as the company was a start up. We trusted each other. I believed in them and they believed in me. And boy, I was blessed to have this kind of work. 

What can I ask for? I am grateful for everything - cool bosses, amazing team, great work environment. I have to work harder and thankfully, I am appreciated. 

Thank You Lord. I will keep on doing what I do and keep on improving. I need to be more proactive and work harder and harder. 

Cheers to more years to come. Hoping for more success of the company! 

Flying after 2 years

 How's everyone?

It's been long time since I've updated.

My January - March months have been busy, I've been in 3 countries! 

Georgia, Philippines, UAE! Wow! 

Yes, I rode a plane after 2 years - so happy! 

First was preparation of our trips to Georgia which I, my sister, my bf and her sister stayed for 5 days. 

So many requirements and also OOTD shopping! It costs a penny but all worth it. (I hope to make a Photobook which is long overdue to my other trips oh well)

It was a winter experience - we hiked in snow which was so difficult and it was my first time to do Parasailing! So much fun and I want to do it again in a sunny weather next time!

Then after few days, my sister and I flew to our home country! So happy but we were redirected first to Davao which we stayed overnight and then to Manila which I stayed for 4 weeks. 

Basically, the new normal vacation for me is 80% staying at home (working and doing business) and 20% going out haha! I ate all my cravings especially the Mango Shake.

 

Overall, my heart is full! Thank You Lord for the opportunity to travel and spending time with my family! I hope to visit again this December, need to save up fast! 

Healthy 2022

Happy New Year everyone! Happy 2022! 

Choose to be happy and healthy this new year.

Started the day with a great comeback news of my fave kpop group Treasure hihi - I told my sister I'm ready to sleep with this perfect news haha! 

So many plans to celebrate - going to Burj Khalifa and see the fireworks. But I got sick but getting better now so we celebrated at home. It was simple but sincere and intimate. Thank you Chu! 

This 2022, I am claiming for fruitful results, better overall health and genuine happiness to me and others. 

I am hopeful, as always. 

So many plans, hope to reach them one by one. Take it slow, one at a time. 

2021 was one of my busiest years, I hope this 2022, I will get the results of my labour hahaha! 

Love you all, and stay healthy! :) Drink medicines, vitamins, barley and everything that will make ourselves healthy! 

I hope to pray more this year. :)
