| a collage of the fun times spent this 2013! |
i’m soooo excited for this year! majorly because i’m finally leaving my job! haha! no i don’t really hate it, i just don’t feel worthy anymore, plus it’s super far, so yeah there’s that.
happy new year everyone! i know it’s a pretty late greeting, actually this entry was sitting on my drafts for a while now, was supposed to post it on new year’s eve but the connection wasn’t so good (i wonder why? haha), so yeah. hehe
i know i’ve made a list of things that made 2013 notable for me, and might i say, it’s a very very conservative list. looking through the pictures (i’ve imported to the pc) on my phone, here’s a much longer list of highlights, some sad, but mostly happy! hehe
1. the Yearbook 2012 project was completed! and although distribution was a bit stressful, the team managed to pull it off with the help of others and also the admin, now only 5 yearbooks are left with us all tagged and ready to ship if only their owners would contact us. hehe i consider this as my proudest creative stint yet. 🙂
2. Red Cross Million Volunteer Run! i ran my first outdoor marathon! that 5k felt like forever! haha
3. i won my first movie screening contest from Nuffnang, which marked the beginning of more movie contests i won! malamang, eto yung taon kung kelan pinakamaraming beses akong nakapanood sa sinehan! haha
4. Jeckie’s college graduation yahoo! >:3
5. mam grace’s resignation. it was sad, cos i grew dependent on her a lot, but it’s also a blessing cos i was given more to handle, more to learn, and more people to supervise. naks. and now i resign. HAHAHA lol.
6. pastor rutti’s death. super sad. you know how’s there’s like a family doctor? he’s like a family pastor for us. T_T
7. opportunity to illustrate! after all, #5 wasn’t so bad cos in mam grace’s new venture, i was invited to illustrate children’s books! and although it hasn’t really started yet, i’m sooo looking forward to it!
5. i enrolled in a gym, with a pool! so for awhile i was like so excited to end work so i could catch the pool before 8! then work got extra demeaning, causing me render more OTYs, therefore losing swim time. huhu
6. enchanted kingdom with jeckie! where he started to appreciate heights, finally! hahaha
