The Best of 2011

Year 2011 has absolutely brought me a lot of fun memories and ultimate surprises! I consider 2011 as my lucky year.

I thank God for giving me such a fruitful year. He has given me a life full of contentment and happiness. I never expected that he would answer most of my prayers too soon. My family, friends, and my love have helped me in every little way they can to make my 2011 as memorable as it can be.

Before I welcome 2012, which is few hours from now, let me share with you some of the adventures together with my closest friends.

January:

In the last quarter of 2010, the group had been wanting to take a 3-day vacation leave to explore the Islands of Camiguin. However, our so called "planned escapade" did not push through because others weren't so lucky to be permitted by the higher gods. So we made it happen early in 2011. We then decided to give the nearby tourist spot a chance, the Beautiful Islands of Camiguin.

We rode a ferry boat from Balingoan Port going to Camiguin Port for over an hour. Our first destination was the clean and green Islands of Mantigue Islands. Just before noon we headed Sto. Nino cold spring to have lunch. Then, the next day, we went to the infamous "White Islands of Camiguin". I haven't been to Boracay yet but most of my friends told me that they prefer White Islands over Boracay as the latter was just overrated!

February: 

Unforgettable Bonding Moments with TQ/NQ teams @ Dahilayan Adventure Park, Bukidnon.

April:

Reggie invited me to go with him in Isulan, Sultan Kudarat. It was my first time in Cotabato. I was hesitant at first because the place has been known to hostile environment, tight security, What if.. something would happen along our way?...oh no!  I did not even inform my tatay that I will be going somewhere in Cotabato coz for sure he'd not permit me.

There, I got to know more of his family members and relatives. T'was actually a reunion! (Nakijoin lang ^-^)

Luckily, the next day, the clan decided to go Nature tripping @ Lake Sebu, a tourist spot with 7 falls plus Ziplining. It was a breath-taking 700-m dual ride over waterfalls.

A Visit to General Santos City (TEAM PACQUIAO SHOP)

I had a Visit to Cebu last July with Reggie, however I wasn't able to take a picture of the trip. We were just too busy to meet good old friends who were destined to Cebu.


August:
No Travel. Not much of an adventure but took the risk in transferring into another support - STX. I was indecisive at first but later took the risk. I did not feel taking in long calls (going back on auto-in mode). But when i joined the Elite Regional Group for STX training, i knew it in mind that i made the right choice. Training days were incomparable. It was a blast! No Dull Moments. Now, i am part of the Highest-Paid Technical Support Representatives.

In 2012, I look forward to more blessings, fun and adventure. (Just recenlty booked our Bora escapade for next year). Wishing us all good health, selfless love... God Bless us All!

Inspired to Blog!

Blog~ I couldn't even define it. I am not a fan of reading celebrity icons' blogs which are being shared to the public... Just until Carmen, a friend of mine, forwarded few blog links to my email (even links thru skype). She's a follower of Bianca Gonzales' Blog, Patty Laurel.. and a lot to mention. She has her own blog, too!

At first, I didn't appreciate it! WIIFM? What do I get? I couldn't even comprehend a simple article from a book. What more with blogs?! But then later i realized, blogs are not like books. I hate books! If i were to read a book i would try to start from chapter 1 then read the back cover to see the summary. Hahaha.. I just couldn't dare reading a book from cover to cover. For me, its a waste of time.

Few months ago, I searched the internet about "Weddings". Yes, Weddings! And the special day is just 4 months away. Whew! This tiring but exciting research has really kept me busy. But until now, I still couldn't come up with a wedding theme. Come on, I'm just pressured! (This crazy little mind that i have is really not helping me). Then, I finally came across a website displaying a lot of wedding photos. The site really inspired and gave me ideas on what i would want to happen on my special day. 

You could check out this website purposely created by the bride herself Alessandra Marie Lanot. It might as well inspire you when you get to see the photos. Here's the link: alessandralanot.com. 

I am indubitably amazed how this artist made her blog. When I browsed again pictures of their wedding, I said to myself.. I think I wanna have one like this! It may not be as good as hers but something that I could cherish and share with my closest friends when the day comes.
