.: It's always a great year every year, Thanks 2013!

as fast as the earth rotates everyday, as fast as the day turned to night and as fast as my decision changed every minute that's how fast the 2013 ends for me. I am very thankful for having a complete and happy family over the years, were healthy, were singing together and we slept together under one roof. My friends are with me my boyfriend is with me, thoughts were changing, plans were changing but the love and importance of each and everyone remains.

Every year it's always been a blessing for me lots of opportunities, new people to meet and new places to be. This year I'm blessed to set my foot on the place i never thought i could be. But if you desire just like a snap of your fingers you're there, thorough planning and research made it possible with the help and guidance of God and "Gala fund" it happened.

Here were the recap of what i had and why I'm thankful for my 2013 (This is my first time to write a year-end post). :P

To welcome the year Jorge and I went to Baguio January 2013.

Having been there in the month of January made it felt like you're in the other country, parang yung mga napapanood sa koreanovela na pag nagsasalita sila may usok na lumalabas sa bibig nila ganun! hihihi. :P the weather was cold.

On the same month we celebrated Papa's 50'th birthday tagged as "Isang kaban na si Papa".

hindi pa luto si spaghetti hehe

the birthday Boy!

Tita's with Lotty :)

February 2013, we've gone to La Union and stayed in the majestic resort of Thunderbird La Union (santorini inspired hotel) right after our Baguio trip. Having a chance to stayed in a luxurious hotel felt priceless. (hoping to be back this year 2014 with my Family).

July 2013, attended the 9th year of Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival dubbed as "Cinemalaya, Cinesthesia". Yearly, I'm thankful for having a chance to watched different "indie film" term for independent film festival because BWorld is always a sponsor of the event.

Im so happy everytime i had the chance to watch the films

looking forward for next year's Cinemalaya hihi

August 2013, Jorge and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary as a couple, We ate in a korean restaurant "Yoogane", Japanese restaurant "Yakimix" and had a movie date "Percy Jackson". We booked a flight to Boracay for there to celebrate but we chose to have it on the month of October since August is a wet season. (Post Anniversary celebration).

First celebration the day itself August 19, 2013

September 2013, bought an underwater camera. I made a research on which is the best camera for underwater and the features of Olympus stands-out plus hindi naman xa gaano ka-mahal compared sa iba. :)

We stayed at Boracay Regency for four days and three nights, had an extremely adventure time we'd tried Reef wailking "Helmet Diving", Parasailing, Paraw-Sailing, Island hopping and Snorkeling.

November 2013, we celebrated the 2nd birthday of our little angel named "Lotty/Khai". On the day of her birthday we went to GMA Kapuso foundation to donate goods for the victims of the typhoon Yolanda in Tacloban.

Birthday gift of Lotty for Tacloban victims

As she turned two she learned a lot and grow as a jolly kid. She gives joy in our home and that's why our family become as happy as it was before.

Happy 2nd birthday Lotty baby!

On the same month the company where I'm working had a company outing in Kawayan Cove, it is a private seaside residential community. One of its main attractions is their 68 hectare property Bamboo Beach, a 650-meter crescent of white sand and sparkling blue water, considered the best swimming beach in Nasugbu, Batangas.

December 2013, My Family together with our relatives in my mother's side celebrated Christmas with us, it will always be the happiest month of the year for us, all were busy preparing food, gifts and everything. Most specially not to forget the true essence of Christmas, which is the birth of Christ.

Merry Christmas
