2014 Winter Olympics is currently being held in Sochi in Russia and it started last February 7, 2013. We (Filipinos) do not mind winter Olympics as there is no winter in our country and some of us were not knowledgeable about winter sports but what makes us interesting to this year's event is when we found out that there will be a filipino (sole filipino) that'll represent the country for figure skating category.

Michael Martinez is a 17 year old filipino athlete who is doing his training in some mall in metro for figure skating was able to make it through the finals for the said event though he ended 19th among the 24th finalist but somehow he still makes the country proud of his dedication and strong will to let the world notice that filipinos also exist in such sports like this. 

being commended on his potential is enough for the country and we are still wishing this boy a good luck that somehow in the end he will achieve all his dreams. anyway here are his performance videos.

10 BEST THINGS OF MY 2013

Here I am again for the list of the best things happened for my last year and now, I wanted to come up with the greatest event of my 2013.

I admit that 2013 is not that good to me but I still thank God for giving me that year because I've learned a lot. and though it is not that good, God still created some good memories that I really appreciate and treasured.

1. Comprehensive Examination for Graduate School Student

It was last January when I took this 2 days Examination for me to be able to enter Thesis Writing scheme and after 2 weeks February 16, 2013 I luckily passed that extensive exam. I think, it was my first great news for 2013 as not all of us passed and to think that I came from work that time without any sleep taking that 8 hours a day exam and then, I still passed. Thankfully.

2. My IPhone 

I started saving some money since the year started as I am yearning to buy a new phone. My old Iphone has been with me for 3 years and I am being un-updated with trends. I am also considering this as my upcoming birthday treat. It was March 2013 when I am having second thoughts of whether to buy it or not, I am thinking of buying cheaper ones but I know that my ego will only be satisfied by the brand I have been for the past couple of years and so I tossed a coin and there it agreed so I bought an Iphone. yey!

3. Boracay Part 2

This will be one of the highlight of my 2013 as after 4 months and in my birthday week - I have returned to one of my favorite places Boracay. We were complete this time and spending more time in this paradise than before as it is a 5 days vacation and I really feel stress-free environment far from manila. this paradise really helps me forget everything.
