My 2015 New year's resolution!

A bit late, I know I know, but as the saying goes, "It's better late that never." Haha! After writing about my 2014 highlights and learnings, here I am writing my 2015 goals.

I'm claiming to achieve everything this year.

1. Travel outside Asia.

• I've been dreaming to travel the world for years now and since I wanted to explore more and get out of my comfort zone I want to travel outside Asia this year.

2. Travel alone.

• This is part of my 2014 goal that didn't pushed through because first, I've been very busy last year and second I'm still afraid to do it. Haha! Hopefully I can do this this year.

3. Finish my fashion design courses.

• Hopeful to finish all the needed course for me to become a legit fashion designer. I can't wait to learn more.

4. Invest in something.

• Never stop investing. It's for the future anyway.

5. Be optimistic.

• I will try my best to always look on the brighter side of life.

Thank you 2014!

What a year that was! I can't believe that 2014 is over and it's already 2015!

My 2014 is both happy and sad, yet I have so many things to be thankful for. Here are some highlights and learnings throughout the year.

I learned how to write calligraphy this month. Not for left handed though. Haha! I still need to have time and practice again. Or maybe, I should find that nib for left handed calligraphers.

October

Traveled China with my mom and sisters. It's been a while since the last time we did travel all together.

November

Blessing and opening of my very own fashion studio. Months after I started creating beautiful dresses I finally have my own space. Thanks to our dear Lord for blessing me in this chosen field.

December

After 10 years, my highschool friends from US and Australia came back here in the Philippines during the holidays. I missed these guys and I can't wait to travel more with them.

Also my relatives from London are here with us to celebrate the brand new year. Look at these cute little babies.

When you feel weak

2 Corinthians 12:9-10

But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.”

Back in our roots

And so we had a date in our alma mater, University of Santo Tomas at last. I graduated BS Commerce Major in Economics Batch 2009 and D graduated BS Mechanical Engineering Batch 2010.

Dustin and I met 5 years ago when I was graduating and he's still in his 4th year in college. We never had a chance to date in school back then since we only met around March that year. Hahaha! How timely! 

So when we're thinking of what we can do in his short vacation here in Manila, we decided to go back and reminisce our college days. Haha!

Our main purpose was to get our yearbook. On our way to the publishing house, we noticed some changes and spotted newly developed buildings as well as new "tambayans". We rest for a while in the field and remembered how we used to be every time he made papansin LOL and see each other before. Haha!

Can't missed to have my picture taken at the iconic Main building that is often times mistaken as a church. 

We ate our lunch at Mang Toots and ordered D's favorite food. I only ate here once before and that's because D suggested it to me. Hahaha! Am I a loser or what? 

This is the famous "Banana Rhuma" also known as turon but with a twist. Who loves this? Raise your hands! Haha!

We made sure to passed by Lovers lane, another famous landmark in the campus because well of course we're lovers. Hahaha!

I wore the UST colors this day, Yellow and Black. The yellow crop top is from The Berries by the way. #shamelessplugging Haha!

And here I am with the love of my life back in our roots. Who would have thought that meeting this guy on my last month in college will change my life forever. :)
