My 2014 in Review


Thanks FB for the Year in Review, but I'd rather list down important things, not based on the number of likes or comments, but what's really memorable to me.

So, here's my memorable 14 for my 2014:

1. I celebrated my 30th birthday doing stuff for other people (I think that's a very good reminder that I'm not just a grown up but a matured woman looking after the welfare of other people). So, I celebrated my 30th (almost) every month… ^,^

2. I welcomed a new man in my life -- no, not yet that man -- it's baby CyD!


3. I've been using Sun Cell's freebie and this year, I finally bought a smart phone.

4. Finally I was able to go to Calaguas -- 5 years in the making! It's my best beach bumming destination so far.

This year also brought me to the wonderful Biri Rock Formations in Samar -- an amazing display of God's majesty.

5. I tried something new this year -- wakeboarding. It was not a success, but I enjoyed it.

6. I tried something weird -- civet coffee, whose beans passed through the civet's gut.

7. 2014 also brought me to my first out of town professional lecture – in Chong Hua Hospital, Cebu City -- and a major speakership in PhilSPEN's SINGs.

8. I had the most toxic cycle menu this 2014 -- a Renal Diabetic Diet for 4 weeks! @,@




9. This year, our family bid goodbye to Apo Conrado.  We also lost our furry love -- Scrappy Doo.

10. It was my first time to experience the not so usual blow of mother nature. When typhoon Glenda hit Batangas, it was the worst I experienced. The wind was so violent, then we had no electricity for almost a week, and water was so scarce, you can't have it even in restos.

Another unusual was our flooded street day before Christmas.

11. Our family was able to invest in real property -- an answered faith goal for 2014.

12. My life (death) plan was completed this year, then I started another life insurance.

13. This year’s Christmas vacation is my longest -- and my most workaholic. Our tiangge experience is really something!

14. In 2014, I said yes… to some… thing!

The best is yet to come -- for me, my family, and friends -- this 2015. ^,^
