2014 Highlights

Simula nang gawin ko ang blog na ito, I always make sure na mayroon akong blog post before the year ends. Madalas pag-reminisce ng mga nangyari the whole year o `di kaya ay ang mga plano ko for next year. Palagi ako by months nag-re-reminisce pero dahil tinatamad na ako mag-reminisce by months... gawin na lang nating facebook. Wala ng all stories---just highlights!

Birthday
(January 5, 2014)

I don't think there's something special in here....bukod sa tumanda lang ako. LOL. Kidding! What I did on the start of my 20th year of existence? Dahil Sunday... I made sure I went to church. Then kaunting luto-luto at nagpunta kami sa Alabang to visit my Dad's cemetery with family. Went to visit Dad's family side, too. At kumain sa Tokyo-Tokyo (my fave restaurant). Nothing special right? Haha! But I include this on the highlights since its my birthday! :P



 Balai Isabel Brainstorming
(January 24 - 25, 2014)

 My 2nd brainstorming na in-attend-an ko sa PHR. Nakakulta ng utak `yung sa Bataan but this one, mas lalong nakulta ang utak ko. It seems like a bad memory, Muntik na akong sumuko. Charot. Na-pressure ako nang husto dito kaya ayaw ko na sana mag-details pa. But it was fun though....because after months, I met my writer friends again.


Mom's Almost A Week Hospital Confinement
(January 25 - 30, 2014)
Bad memory again. But highlights nga ito, okay? Bad and good, I still include. I have to leave the brainstorming early cause of this news. It was a very bad day for me. Na-confine si Mommy just because sa ingrown nail. WTF right? But this made me nervous a lot, too. Dito ako na-broke nang husto dahil sa laki ng bill na binayaran namin sa hospital.

OB Trip to BIR and PHR anniversary Sale
(February 4, 2014)
Good memory! First time ko lumabas sa office sa aking OJT at first time ko rin sa BIR. For more details, please visit my blogpost OJT Update

End of OJT in Toyota Motor Philippines
(March 22, 2014)

Completed my 670 hours of training in Toyota Motor Philippines. It was bitter sweet. Masaya ako na natapos ko siya at siyempre, mami-miss ko rin ang mga tao sa paligid ko. My superiors. They were really very nice to me at nakakatuwa lang na hanggang ngayon, kinakausap pa rin nila ako. And yay! They even gave me gifts that I didn't expect to have. All my service was worth it. Chos!

Signed Feasibility Papers
(April 22, 2014)

And we are done...on the hardest book ever! Halos magsisigaw yata ako noon nang matapos na namin papirmahan ang FS papers namin. We have a lot of troubled encounter in making this one. Ang matapos ang FS ay isang malaking achievement na sa akin/amin. :P








College Graduation
(April 24, 2014)

MY. MOST. AWAITED. DAY.
After so many years of studying, I finally walked in the stage to get my last diploma. May degree na rin ako sa wakas. Hindi ko pa rin makalimutan ang napakasayang feeling ng sa wakas ay makuha ko na ang diploma ko (kahit ang pangit ko sa aking grad pic, I mean---the eyes only) at lalong-lalo na ang itapon ko ang cap. Pakiramdam ko, nanalo ako ng lotto. Nakakaiyak---masaya na malungkot. Masaya dahil natapos ko na rin ang college at nakakalungkot dahil hindi na ako estudyante. Mahal na pamasahe sa jeep at bus. Nyek. Haha!

Contract Signing
(June 21, 2014)
One of my dreams is to be an exclusive writer of PHR. I made it.

Once A Princess Premiere
(August 6, 2014)

Star studded! First PHR book to turned into a movie. Invited ang mga writers at nasa premiere pa kami. With the artist. Isinama ko si Mommy dahil may libre tickets. Alam ko, nag-enjoy nang husto ang Mommy. Hindi inubo, eh. Nag-enjoy rin naman ako. Lalo na sa pakiramdam na katabi mo lang ang mga artista! Yay! I got to meet a lot of Filipino actors and actresses. And most especially, Miss Gretchen Barretto. I am really stunned to see her in person. Mangiyak-ngiyak ako noon kasi gustong-gusto ko siya. Stalker kasi ako sa IG :P And got to see one of my Filipino actor crush, JC de Vera. Di lang nakapagpa-picture. Sayang :P

Christmas
(December 25, 2014 and onwards)

Time to give back because I have so many blessings this year. Gift giving. Lahat yata ng family ko, binigyan ko ng gift. Went to Church, too. Na-complete ko rin pala ang Simbang Gabi. Together with my Mom. Great day!

I also have a year end/christmas party with my college friends. What to expect? Always a blast when I am with them! xx

Indeed, 2014 is a great year for me. Puwede ko siya na mai-categorize na best year so far for me. Unlike, 2013---I can't say I just survived the year. This year, I can say that I don't just survived. I ENJOYED this year so much! Why? Bukod sa good memories, I also did what I really want in my life since I was young---TO BE A WRITER---and not just a writer. A FULL TIME WRITER. I also happened to triple the number of manuscripts I have last year. Maaaring pagsisihan ko man sa huli ang decisions na ginawa ko this year, pero magagawa ko ba talaga na pagsisihan? Masaya ako sa ginagawa ko. Hindi dapat pinagsisihan ang mga ganitong bagay.

Thank you 2014. Cheers and welcome 2015. Be better than my this year, pretty please?
