The 2013 Happiness Project Round Up!

I blame my lack of time (also known as laziness) for not being able to get a jar as I have mentioned in here for the lack of entries on my happiness project this year. Also, upon reading them I realised how most of the entries are written in the first two quarters of the year. Apparently the new professional home has taken most of my time (or maybe I am just too lazy to write then and sleeping is more inviting. Heh.)

Anyway, instead of the old school round up, I think it is more fitting to post what I have written on those silly little papers in the past year. There are at least 50+ of them so I just chose to share the top five. They are not exactly my favourites but in a way or another, they are special. Some have surprised me, some I could not even remember writing, some are funny and some, tugged strings in my heart. 

Heartfelt dinner with my sister, grandfather and grandmother. 

Those solemn, simple moments hat I miss.

It is always special to get to have some bonding moments with the family. I think we are even more bonded these days since our aunt has died a year ago. We are closer, the extended family and it is such a good thing.

I dreamed of him, and it is the best of the dreams that I had in weeks.

Reading this made me laugh out hard. I cannot even remember who him was. hahaha but yeah, it's February then. Maybe....maybe... ;-)

I made two different posts for this but they go together. This happened at that moment where I was so down and confused to what lies ahead of me. I was about to make a decision that is to change me, professionally, and this push is exactly what I needed. I have already made a separate blogpost for this but it is so overwhelmingly special that it deserved to be included in this yearender post.

In addition, it's not only Joey that I am thankful but his family (girlfriend included). I may not know them personally and vice versa but they were there to push you to be on your best. I could not be more grateful.

Finally! After so many failed attempts, I was able to do a "sand angel"

(because there is no snow in here)

- March 24

Random. I've been wanting to do that since I was a kid haha. And I was too "into the moment" to even ask them to take a photo of me lying, spread-eagled onto the sand. It was totally fun.

And lastly,

Watched the Gatsby movie with Jofer. Cool to meet

him for the very first time in person.

Also, it is my first time to visit ATC!!

So rad!!

This mainly spoke of the transfer to the South (because of work), or the start of it. And I love meeting new people. Well, not exactly new because I have known them for a while but you know, some of them I have not seen in person yet/in a while. And by the way, I have been visiting the Alabang Town Center a lot that there was a point that I go there at least once a week. Why is that? FullyBooked, is why. ;)

Not included in here but also deserve some nods are the three days-two nights stay in Potipot Gateway Resort/Potipot Island, and getting to attend concerts of The Script and Bazooka Rocks 2. And recently, our reunion of sorts with the college buddies. It's been a while.

Here's to new experiences and possibilities and the chance to grow more in all the aspects of life! To the many books to read and music and places to discover! To do good, and to enjoy life!

Happy new year everyone!
