So here's a run through of my best moments in 2016.

1. Meet my soul mate (chusss hahaha) – they say that meeting someone who is destined for you is inevitable. Precisely! Because meeting my now boyfriend is something I didn’t anticipate. Never really thought such soul exist or should I say he was not included in the fairy tale I’ve created in my mind, but somehow God has its own way to sweep your feet. But it was him who brought back the visionary in me again. His hardworking attitude also pushed me to work hard too. 

What are your best moments in 2016?

1. Travel to my 2 desired countries  -Thailand and Japan, I always wanted to travel internationally but it's only in 2015 that I have carried it out. It was really an amazing experience!

2. Getting my first tattoo - Overcame my fear for needles by getting inked. My tattoo has a significant representation to me.

3. Started my love affair with baking - I am always fascinated with baking, I love desserts - cupcakes and cakes to be exact. I love to create something beautiful, I love to turn my imaginations into existent art! and it's in baking that I find my comfort. I also wanted to have my own cupcake and desserts shop.  So last July 2015 I decided to start with the basic steps first before pushing through the big goal. But I am very happy to say that my baking skills have improved so far hahah. I am thankful to the people who have taught me on how to bake and to the people who continually believe and supported my passion.

4. Baptismal - I am happy to say that I have chosen to return and walk the road that I once tread when I was still a kid. It's true that when you grow old, the temptation to give in to the world and be consumed with your daily endeavors are strong. I admit that I was hesitant when asked If  I wanted to be re-baptized. I was hesitant because I don't know if I am still worthy to obtain God's grace or if I will be able to abide and stand with my faith. But I liberate all doubts and push through with my decision to come home to God. In my heart I know it's what and where he wants me to be.

5. The Great Realization and the Strong Determination - the death of my father spawned great realization to me. Like a panoramic scene it unveiled how  I wasted so many years of my life over nothing, how I have set aside my goals and dreams and how life is fleeting. So 2015 I tried so hard to re-figure and assess everything to achieve my goal it's going to be a long one but my determination now is more stronger than ever.

2016 Resolutions

I wanted to make this one a short one so I'm just gonna generalize everything

Personal Goal -  I wanted to turn that ideal life that I always imagine into reality. So by 2016 I resolute not to filter myself anymore, to stay focus on my actual goal, avoid negative vibes, cleanse my thoughts, be active at church, be kind to myself and most of all refrain myself from being sluggish if i really wanted to succeed.

Health Goals - Be Healthy and Eat Healthy (the biggest challenge for me perhaps... because i loooove to eat pizzas and burgers and french fries hahahah), Go to the gym and stick to it!, sleep early and avoid stress :D

Blogging Goals: My sister and I we wanted to diversify our blog by branching out to other areas of blogging as well. so we really hope you will still and continue to support us.=)


How about you guys? what are your best 2015 moments and 2016 resolutions?

Happiness - a simple word, yet, a difficult one to achieve, especially if you get caught with daily doses of hassles and anxieties. But how to achieve happiness? They say that Happiness is a state that epitomizes by having a purposeful and meaningful life. . How we perceived things around us always has an impact on our life.

I'd thought I'd make a list of  things that makes me happy. I find it really useful, jotting down the things that makes you happy at the end of a hectic day will divert your thoughts positive.

I'm like an automatic machine programmed to take in work after work after work. Until one day I just snapped, that day my head is so heavy, my lung is so heavy I can't breath properly (Yes! Too much stress can cause sleep apnea, which led to difficulty in breathing) and I'm just sitting there like the Grinch who hated the world. I lose interest in everything, I lose interest in my passion. This new anguish led me to self pity and push me to further afflict myself by submerging to more work. And yes, after my daily work I would usually bake and sometimes ended baking until midnight with the thought that its my stress reliever but reality is I just can't sleep. I  love to bake but I've used it as a gateway to self infliction instead of it as a fundamental foundation of one of my future goals.

How it all ended? How did I've come to realize that enough is enough? It was 

that day when a person close to me told me that I needed help and I was like "I'm not crazy... I don't need help" but these voices in my head is agreeing that I am losing my sanity. The thought of seeking professional help dreaded me and I was like - No.. I can begin to heal myself.. I can win the battle I've created myself. That night I cried my heart out.  I know and God knows of the beast I am  fighting in my head. I realized I miss a lot of things... I miss going on weekend trips, I miss going to the bookstore, I miss reading my favorite book, I miss my love note writing to God, I miss enjoying concocting new recipes, I miss my blogging, I miss Life itself. 

Realization finally dawned me that it's time for  me to finally pull myself out of this abysmal isolation.  Its time for me to gain perspective again. Honestly, I was really hesitant to write about this but I know that there are people like me out there.... struggling.... in denial....lost...wondering...And hoping to be free.
