Another review of the previous year post

Last year, I set a goal for 2016. I had a dream list to play tennis, to go and visit Enchanted Kingdom again, to start boxing, visit the beach and watch the play Wicked. I also plan to continue my loading business, my lending business and investing the stock market. I also wished to break even in my lending business, buy a laptop and to learn how to cook. I see myself having a boyfriend, being 105 lbs, finishing 10km, being retained and becoming the best coach ever, being able to tithe, having P30000 in the bank and having clear skin. I had 18 goals. Let’s see how it worked out this year.

In January, that was when I met the guy who became my boyfriend in February. In March, I visited Enchanted Kingdom. In August, I visited a beach in Batangas. I only played tennis once in May so I really was not counting that one. I will be watching Wicked this February 2017 so I am also not counting it as a fulfilled dream for 2016 but obviously, it is for 2017. In October, I started Boxing. My loading business closed due to some factors that we beyond my control but a word of caution be careful of working with family especially with the not so responsible and successful, you might get screwed. The good thing is that I am able to start my make-up reselling business. My lending business is still alive and kicking that I was able to break even in November. My investments are also doing well. I was not able to buy a laptop but definitely tomorrow I will and since it will be 2017 already by tomorrow, I am not going to count that one as well. Unfortunately, until now, I still do not know how to cook, so that’s sad. I plan to enroll this 2017. There are things that did not entirely happened but I counted them as an unlocked goal, I am still a coach but I may not be the best coach ever but I am the most improved coach, well, I heard that from most of my colleagues this year and from my previous boss so maybe that’s true. I was able to tithe, it was hard but I cannot be more than blessed. I intend to be 105 lbs before my bday, finish a 10km run by next year, have P30000 in the bank and have clear skin by end of 2017. In 2016, I was able to achieve 10 goals out of 18. I am not sure if you can consider that as my measure of success but for me, no matter how many blood, tears and sweat I have given for the past year, I may hate this year but with the things that I was able to achieve, I count that as a success. 

The PiliPinas 2016 Presidential debate.

I know the second presidential debate just happened last Sunday but this post is actually for the first one. The second debate was a little bit chaotic, wala kasi si Miriam. 
More about the second debate in the future post. I like how the topics were necessary for one to know more about the candidate. Masesense mo naman kung cno ung magaling lang sa public speaking pero hindi talaga sinasagot yung tanong or not telling the truth. Nakita nating kung sino yung realistic with their platform at kung sino yung idealistic lang. Madaling magsabi na ganito ganyan ang gusto kong mangyari, ang tanong, may pondo ba? Feasible ba?
I am actually happy to see how Filipinos are reacting, the whole country is so involved with choosing who the next President is going to be. It may appear that in some way, it had become a source of entertainment but that's just how Filipinos are, we add humor on things but it doesn't mean we are not serious about it.

How annoying Juliette can get?

I love Bitsie Tulloch, I think she's gorgeous and a perfect fit for David Giuntoli on-screen and off-screen but I never liked how she has been written, how they have transformed her from season to season. Well maybe, there will be episodes that I loved her but I find the character Juliette Silverton annoying. 

In season 1, she's the annoying girlfriend who assumes that Nick is hiding something from her. She was so one note and not interesting like as if she just have to be there so that the Grimm has a girlfriend. In season 2, I know she was under a spell but I don't like how she was hiding her obsession from Nick but I just felt that she was just so mean to him and it was just so annoying. 

In season 3, I started to like her because she is Nick's supportive girlfriend and friend to Rosalie. She was starting to be helpful and useful to cases but when she's acting all bad-ass, she annoys me again. In season 4, I like her in the beginning and when she became a Hexenbeist but when she became insane, I was so annoyed that I even rejoiced that her character died. In season 5, as Eve, I do not like her that much. I was not thrilled that she came back. She's so detached from Nick but somewhat I know that she's bitter that Nick is living with Adalind. They invited everyone except for Adalind to help. Whatever, I guess, I have to let this out of my system so that I can learn to love her. Haha, enjoy Grimm! 

You're the Worst

Lately, I have been watching this show called 'You're the Worst', it's an American comedy drama series about two people with toxic personalities attempting a relationship. The show started with the two characters, Jimmy and Gretchen, meeting in Jimmy's ex's wedding and them engaging in a one-night stand. It started to be a thing but they remained casual. Because of Gretchen's feistyness and Jimmy's manipulativeness, though they are not talking about their feelings, they ended to be in an exclusive relationship which actually works for them. This just shows that there is always somebody for someone.

The show also features their friends and their own relationships. It is satirical and witty and just real. I guess that's why I love it. It is a show about how most relationships are now going about. It features socially relevant issues in a humorous way through characters such as how Edgar deals with PTSD and relating back to society. The character of Lindsey is a very complicated and adorable character of somehow who tries to conform to society. I love Aya Cash who plays Gretchen, she's natural and amazing. This is a good watch and I recommend.

100 blessed Days

Months ago, I was so depressed that I felt that I cannot be happy anymore. I hate being in that position where I am just sad. I can only work as hard in life as possible but there will be things that I cannot control so instead of focusing on those things. I decided to take charge and focus on things that I can control. I can control my perspective so instead of thinking of the things that I do not have I started to be thankful for what I have. I decided to count at least 3 blessing each day. There will be days that I am just forcing the positivity in me but as I compare my blessings from Day1, I sounded being more sincere and I was happier and at the end of 100 days, I felt better and things started happening for me.

I was on day 16 and coming up with blessings is starting to be easy!

Check out my Facebook page for my posts of the blessings that I received, you may also want to try it yourself and see miracles happen for you.

What I look for in a man...

Two years ago, I was with a guy that I thought I'll be spending my future with but I guess that was not God's will. Anyways, I decided that I have to set standards or non-negotiables for the next and last guy that I will love. Dating for the next two years was rough because I did not see all of the qualities that I was looking for in guys that I dated until now. I learned that if you pray hard and don't settle, the guy and the love that you deserve will come around. So, don't stop praying and believing, do not compromise. Let me share the list of non-negotiables that I wrote 2 years ago.

My 2015: a review

 I know ang awkward n ngayon ko lng ginagawa ang entry na 'to dahil matatapos na ang February 2016. I just want to share how the power of visualization, law of attraction, prayers and hardwork helped me attain most of my goals and ended up becoming a somewhat fulfilled human being.

Sa mga sinulat kong yan, 5 jan ang natupad. Nung 2014 kc, i felt that i was stuck in a rut and i knew i had to do something about it. So, sa bdj planner ko, i wrote what i really wanted to happen sa buhay ko. I wanted to improve my personal life, my fitness goals, my career and financial aspects. January pa lang talagang apply lang ako ng apply kapag my opening hanggang sa September ntupad ang prayers ko pero grabe, ilang rejection, sipag at luha tlaga bago ako naging coach. Dahil wala nman akong boyfriend, mas my time ako with my mom and sister. Don't get me wrong, natupad yung pinakauna sa list. January 1 pa lng, i've been dating this guy. He's a great guy in paper, he's perfect but i think God brought him into my life to answer that prayer, to date someone for that year. I learned things from him, i found a friend in him, i gained confidence and belief in myself dahil sa pangpupush niya saka sa mga payo niya. He made me happy.
Unfortunately, hindi ako naging 105 lbs but i lost 10lbs. I did not end 5km in 28 minutes but I still decided to run 10km this 2016. I know i will have the endurance to do it. Nung appraisal, di ko man naabot ang goal ko but since I eventually became a coach, higit pa yung naging increase ko. Because of that, nakapagTithes ako by December!
The things na wala talaga akong nagawa ay ang to spend my birthday with less fortunate, makaipon ng 24K, at ang maging clear ang aking skin. Tsk! Tsk!
I'll continue to work on my goals and new ones. I hope you enjoyed reading my wins and you get inspired to push yourself that you can get out of that rut. Go 2016!
