Gunstart 2013

Finally got my 2013 Starbucks planner yesterday. And look, they got my name wrong :P 

They say the first day of the year sets the tone for the following 364 days, so you have to be keen on how you spend new year's day. Of course we all know that the first day of the new year is no different from any other day but it's nice to think of it as a fresh start, a chance to leave behind disappointments from the past year and to begin life anew. It's the perfect time to shake off all the bad vibes and enter the new year with a clean slate. 

2012 Year End Meme

And I now present the annual year-end meme. 

A Very Late New Year Post

For the first time ever, I didn't spend new year's eve with my parents. My sister's family was booked to stay at Shangri-la Hotel in Makati for new year's eve and I decided to go with them while my parents celebrated at home with my aunt, uncle and cousin. (who messaged me through Skype later on complaining that we left her with the "thunders." Haha) There was a street party that night along Ayala Ave. and we decided to join the crowd for the bands, countdown, and fireworks.

I wish this year would be full of more family bonding moments, great company, lots of photo ops and good food.
