0 Surviving 2012. Welcoming 2013.

10 days since the calendar year changed.
21 days to go before I turn 20+ -ish.

Numbers. Dates. Days.

2012

Bread and Butter

An emotional roller coaster filled year. Major changes happened at work. People come, people go. Gained friends along the way. Still, I remained resilient and focused with the challenges. My day job is still considerably stable while my wedding planning business is, I should say, is growing. I am able to make new connections to help me in the process of learning and improving this craft. I could say I have found my inner passion.

Stories from the heart

I still don't have someone to call my own. Cupid missed the arrow last year. I dated a few but that was it. From the dates, I have further analyzed what I want in my future relationship. Though I still long for that long walks, star-gazing together and having that "perfect moment even in silence," I have learned that I must completely heal and fulfill my goals first and feel good about myself before I could share that special feeling to my future better half.

Along the way, I found closure with the guy who almost made me change my surname. I have to admit, it was sad knowing that he wasn't happy after we had separate ways, since I prayed for his happiness in exchange of my broken heart and shattered dream of "I do." But I believe it wasn't the right time then or he ain't the right person yet. The closure rekindled all the pain I felt two years ago. But then I realized, I would never be able to give myself to that "somebody" if I still carry the skeletons of the past. Love will come my way. Deep within I can feel it will. A girl can dream. :)

Itchy Feet

I haven't traveled much over the past year. The only place I remembered visiting was Taal, Batangas. I promised myself that I will find time to cure my itchy feet come 2013. That I will do.

 Lost and Never Found

Lost some material things when the house was robbed last August. Still, I am thankful I wasn't hurt and that He will provide me with the things I need. I just need to have faith.

Blood is Thicker Than Water

It is indeed. I have made close bonds with my cousins on both ends. Its fun.  Bro graduated and passed the ME boards, a major horray to be truly thankful in 2012.

2013

I am positive that this year will be good. I have just booked my first client for a wedding mid-2013. The last 2 days was spent bonding and just feeling good with my cousins and brother. I still have 355 days to write not only fun and challenging stories worth remembering. I am indeed blessed to be given another year.

Here's to good life, good health and fun 2013!
