Flying 2025

2025 is about to end and ofcourse, here is our tradition to write a year ender post. 

This 2025, I claim for things to be BETTER in terms of health (both physical and mental), career, lovelife and businesses. I need to be firm with my decisions and give myself more ‘me time’. I hope I only dwell on the brighter side, always. 

Looking back, personally I think 2025 is better than the previous year (but because I made things happen). 

I made some big decisions this year! It’s like I know when to peak, ending the year with a bang especially November & December. 

Health

- I must say I have walked more this year and hopefully will continue to exercise and take care of myself more. 

- I had an accident last November 1st when I drove ATV in desert safari and it fell directly on my right knee and I need to visit the Ortho next year. 

Career & Businesses

- Thankfully I survived all events we had this year, it was tiring but fulfilling. I even spent my birthday working whole day literally.

- As for my business, it was not smooth sailing compared from previous years (maybe because there are many players in the market now) but we are getting there. I have transitioned to a new and bigger space so hope it will get better next year. Claiming! 

Love & Relationships

- Moved back in Dubai hahaha after 4 years of living in RAK

- My parents visited us again in Dubai after 7 years and felt that they have given us blessings

Myself & Achievements

- Travelled a lot this year haha! I went in Japan twice (March & December), Philippines (March), Hongkong (March) & Thailand (April).

- Thought of prioritizing myself by investing and spending my hard earned money to my present self. I’m the kind of person who always save and think of the future. But now I realize I have to feel it too in the present because we will never know what will happen next. Ofcourse, need to balance everything as a Libra. 

Overall, it was a good year. There is no perfect year, lI had plot twists — good and the bad but it is what makes life… LIFE. 

Plot twists

As I told you, I got busy! Hahaha that I just came back now. Sorry, blog! 

How am I? 

Ber months and a lot happened at my personal life, work and business. 

September - start of ber month & anniversary

I started listening to Christmas songs ahha! 

Celebrated our 18th anniversary in Abeneko, Palm Jumeirah and Leo’s birthday this month. 

I was basically busy at work in preparation of our big events. 

October - birthday month & awards

I had a week long birthday celebration. I celebrated my birthday literally working so I planned to turn it around and make myself happy.  We had big event at the same time and after that, they sang happy birthday song OMG. My introvert self was so stressed but still appreciated it. 

November - tour guide mode lol

My bf’s bro & his gf travelled in Dubai at first week and I had knee accident when I drove the ATV in Desert Safari hahaha! I was bedridden by most of the month but thankfully I was able to recover by the time my parents came back to visit us again! So so happy! It’s been 7 years and I am proud and fulfilled. I was recharged though I was so tired I got sick when they left haha.

December - plot twists & back to where I belong

Change is the only thing permanent and I am back living in Dubai, where I feel I truly belong. I lived with my sister in RAK for 4 years and it’s time for me to decide on my own. One highlight is me & my sister tried to sell in Flea Market and we had so much fun (though I got sick). For sure, there would be next time.

Too many changes, too many money and efforts invested — I know they would be all worth it! And I guess I am back with my vlogger era? Haha just kidding! Maybe a little more on content creation, let’s see. 

As I am a day closer to my holiday at work which will resume January 5th. Will there be another plot twist? Hope for the better ;)

It's been a while

 Honestly I totally forgot my space here and I have not been updating. 

How's my life? Last April, my travels did not stop haha! I went to Bangkok Thailand again with my sister as it is her vacation leave. We ate our heart out and walked a lot + shopping! Really enjoyed visiting BKK every time plus the authentic thai massage! 

I was busy when I got back because of the Labubu craze. It was the same last October 2024 after coming back from Baku Azerbaijan. Productive and long days I had, but all worth it. 

It's quieter now coming July then August with the hot weather, I want to stay at home as much as possible because it is melting outside. Though I was still busy with my personal life but happy ofcourse. 

Next months will be busy (ber months) with work. Wish me luck. That's why I want to enjoy this time as much as possible haha.

So many plans ahead, so many things to do and my mind is so busy as well! 

I know it will all come true. 

Break, trip to PH JP HK

It's my first time to go home in the Philippines for the month of February & March. 

I was a bit burn out last year with all happenings at the same time and I really needed this break.

But of course, it comes with lots and lots of money hahaha! 

First is booking flights which is exciting though shocked when we received your card statements haha! 

From UAE to Philippines then going to Japan then to Hongkong then going back to PH and UAE :D 

It was an awesome experience and thankfully I have my vitamins (power trio) to keep me in shape and healthy. Thankfully, even if tired we did not get sick. 

I am thankful my bosses allowed me to go home and work from there (again haha) before my parents go to Australia. So for 1 week, I stayed in PH with my aunt & uncle from Australia too. It was nice experience eating out some Halo Halo and visiting familiar places. Sadly I was not able to meet any friends (so sorry). Next time, promise! 

Then came my "break"! It's my 3rd time going to Japan and finally got my Multiple visa last Christmas (yes it was really December 25th!). The feeling was amazing!! Food, people, place, the vibe - everything! I want to go back again haha! 

Not only in Tokyo but I went to Kyoto (first time) and Osaka (second time). What an amazing 8 days trip! Then from Osaka, we boarded going to Hongkong for 2 full days. Ofcourse the highlight was Disneyland which I visited again after 14 years - whoa! 

Then 4 days back in PH to finish up some massage and family time with my siblings & nephew. It was definitely a worthwhile trip! I have no regrets, yes I spent a lot of money and time but these experiences are PRICELESS!

Thank You Lord for this opportunity, for this life. 

Now I am back! Need to work and grind again for that next trip again hahaha! 

Let’s Fly High in 2025

OMG. Can I just say this? 

HAPPY 20th Anniversary, blog!! 

I just realized, it’s been 20 years already.

Good job, my 15th year old me. (OMG I just exposed my current age haha).

Happy New Year everyone! 

Happy 2025! Wowww! 

In my 10 years in UAE, this is the third time I celebrated the holidays here. So basically I just stayed home with my sis and cooked hahaha! 

I prepared lasagna roll ups, fruit salad, oreo graham and baked cheesy garlic shrimps last Christmas then just yesterday’s Media Noche, I did the fried pork shrimp dimsum and fruit salad. This is an achievement for me haha! 

This 2025, I claim for things to be BETTER in terms of health (both physical and mental), career, lovelife and businesses. I need to be firm with my decisions and give myself more ‘me time’. I hope I only dwell on the brighter side, always. 

I don’t know but I feel more hopeful this year :) 

I hope all my plans esp the travel plans will come true. Well, it’s me we’re talking about so for sure it will happen. 

Wishing for the best! Cheers.
