2017 in Review

Soloista


I'm getting older. So old that I feel the days ran ahead of me. How could it be that fast?! I'm still halfway remembering what happened in 2017. Maybe because I was busy, or maybe because I'm always occupied of something. Well, let's see.
  1. I started the first quarter of the year with travel and I guess it cascaded for the rest of the year. I can say that I was busy with all the planning and preparation for every trip that I blog about it months after. 
    • I'm proud with these major travels because there's always a takeaway in both experience and lessons. I learn to prioritize my safety wherever I go. I learn to practice patience with people and that includes myself. 😁 I learn to overcome my fear and shyness. I survived being alone out of the country and I'm happy I made a friend!
  2. I had a cool-off with Kdrama. Jdrama and Shoujo Live Action Movies ran this year and I went to an emotional roller-coaster. Who would've thought those movies can make me cry? Besides, I made time for another activity which is the next bullet.
  3. Last year's heartbreak might have come to fruition because my plans of improving myself is finally happening. I came to start focusing on arts. I started painting using watercolor and until I'm satisfied I won't move to oil painting!
  4. What happened to fitness? Oh! I signed up for a circuit training membership for 18 mos, but honestly, I haven't been going there regularly because of my schedule… and of my laziness (I can't deny).
  5. I can say this year is all about family. Our lunch out and 'gala' became more frequent and I can't be more excited to have another baby in the family. She's expected to be born this January. This year we went to Stilts Calatagan Batangas and Tagaytay.
  6. Having an annual meeting with old friends is not that good, but at least we have it and I'm happy The Greenery Bulacan became our venue.
  7. Balabac Palawan gave me the island life. For a few days that I stayed here, nature was all I have. It gave me the most memorable sunrise and sunset of my life as of this day.
  8. First time to push a car - because we need to!
  9. Almond popcorns, oh yum!!
  10. First solo trip abroad - New York!
  11. Made a friend in New York - Brahim! And now I just have to have Morocco on my travel list.
  12. After 7 years, I met again my high school friend - J!
  13. Felt depressed this year, maybe it's still happening, but I know that I can overcome this. I'm just too worried with my life, with my future, with my dreams and for what really that is. I maybe unsuccessful in finding it this year, but I'm getting my grip and holding on to what 2018 can offer me. Hopefully, I'll find it soon.
  14. Ended the year at home, in my room, working! 😆 well, this is life.

The year 2017 was a year full of adventure. It gave me a lot of memories that I can take with me as I grow. I hope 2018 will give me more happiness, it may not be full of new things to try, or places to visit, but I hope it can give me courage, happiness and lessons, for it to push me to be a better version of myself, for it to give me confidence, and to give me strength to know and reach my dreams. Thank you 2017! Welcome 2018! 🍷🎆
 
Cheers!
