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!
