Apparently we all survived the end of the world, rather nervously. This start of the year should be a renewal of life, but I think all of us renew life every time we replace cells here and there, and improve on our self.
Right before calendars turned 2012, I made a list of outlook, which I post here with notes.
1. see the boyfriend late 2012
He went back to the Philippines last May. That’s mid-2012. Yay!
Baguio City
2. be an expert in the principles of supply and demand in global economies
Not really an expert, but I understood a lot.
3. expand business network
This has to be the year I met the most number of new contacts, talked with so many people, in the Philippines and abroad.
Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
4. paint
I did with watercolor pencils and oil.
5. ride an elephant
In Thailand!
6. beach bum in Bali
I decided to postpone this and beach bum in Philippine beaches instead. All year round.
Camiguin, Philippines
7. invest in some properties
I did.
8. road trip with college friends
Not just one, but two memorable epic trips.
Subic, Philippines
9. make more people happy
I hope I did make people happy when my sister and I bought Papa a car, when my friends and I organized a fun run for the victims of violence against women, when I hosted a friend’s wedding, when I wrote a feature article for IRRI’s Rice Today magazine (it was picked up and quoted by international press), and when I wrote that article in Youngblood, which reached more than 11,000 shares!
cute hihi 🙂
this year, I swear, I am going to rest. No travels (ok I can’t promise)
