I saw this post from instagram account of Kris Aquino (@aquinokristinabernadette) and wonder maybe I could come up with my own? Yes! I usually not into this new year's resolution thing every start of the year like most people do but I'm excited and curious on what could it be. So let's start!
LOOKING BACK AT 2014...
Favorite Experience:
This would be my El Nido trip with my officemate/friend Jeanette. Why? Because we had so little time prepping for this since this is only a side trip, thanks to our job as an auditor we are able to travel different parts of the country by free :)) We maximize our time on all the island has to offer and the experience was great and promised to myself I would come back to this beautiful island to experience again the wonders of our creator.
Biggest Accomplishment:
Maybe keeping my current job for more than a year would make on this list. Hahaha. And hoping to keep this until I CAN *crossedfingers :))
And learning to be sweet with my boyfriend is an accomplishment since I'm more of a 'mataray' type of girl. hehe

Favorite Place to Visit:
I would say Davao just because of Samal Island :) This island I think deserve a better tourism campaign because it's so beautiful that a few people actually know that it exist! With it's white sand, crystal clear water and cool and good people this I must say is worth travelling for.
And of course Bahay Bakasyunan at Tanay Rizal :)) Actually my first time to visit here is when we celebrated out 2nd Anniversary of my boyfriend Jeff on December 20, 2014. Yes just recently, we took our time off to relax and bond since we are so busy at work we never had this opportunity. I would love to go back to this place with him of course and enjoy the pool with the breathtaking view of the Laguna Lake.
The best meal is:
Sinigang ni Mama, my all time favorite and Tinumis ni Jeff, my second favorite, eversince I got to taste this wonderful dish it became my favorite already :))
If I have a free day, I like to:
Read all my books that were in the box for months! Because I'm so busy at work I never had a time to read all those books. Sad.
My favorite book:
For this year, read a lot of newly published books and this I had to say was my favorite... "The fault in our stars" and "Looking for Alaska" both written by John Green. Both made me cry and that was a first time. I would say the books were perfectly written, not the typical kind of story where boy-meets-girl-and-fall-in-love setting. The story has its own drama that will make you realize that life is beautiful we should never take it for granted.
My favorite movie:
This year, I had seen a lot of movies but none would make on this list. But I had my all time favorite movie "The Terminal". Yes! this movie was my favorite eversince the first time I've watched this back when I was in college. This movie was introduced to me by my friend Jonah, and since then I never stop telling how good this film was and even watched it several times after. :))
LOOKING AHEAD TO 2015...
I want to continue to:
to posts more blogs this year. Last year, I took a break and this year I want to continue this. Nagiging magaan ang pakiramdam ko pag nagsusulat (at least not literaly write). Somehow this gives me peace of mind.
I want to try:
I want to try baking cakes. Just recently, I tried baking cupcakes and I must say that I'm good for first timers hahaha. I know that baking will always be my first love and this year I want to start my plan in taking baking lessons.
I want to stop:
I want to stop being moody. I know this attitude of mine and a lot of people told me that I am. Sometimes I feel like I'm a different person when it attacks me. Hahaha
I'd like to visit these places:
Japan, particularly in Universal Studios where you can find "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter". I did not mention here that I'm a BIG BIG FAN of Harry Potter. The moment I knew that this has got in Japan, I always dreamed of being there and yes I'm very positive that I can go there this year :))
One of the places I'd like to visit also is Korea. I don't know why but maybe their rich culture got me and I want to experience that first hand.
My goals for this year:
New and permanent job :) I can't say maybe my current job will still be there and I hope if that happens then I already knew that is what I want. But for now, I don't know, there's no clear insight in what I really want in life. Ugh. This has to be the most difficult part in growing up - deciding for your own future and taking risks and all that....
To be able to travel to places I've never been to. As Dalai Lama said "Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before". And yeah I want to do that as much as possible because I'm not getting any younger :))
Lastly, to save more than I did last year.
