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.

4. Motivated

I have been destined to a new team, I really thought that I will resign soon because of that. i don't know anybody from this new team and I am thinking that they might not like me as well. But before I entered the team my new boss talked to me personally and everything seems to be right, I became so excited of coming to work and being friends with my new team and It all work.

5. My Thesis Title Defense and My Thesis Proposal

It was last May 2013 when I was scheduled to have my Thesis Title Defense and I remembered how I am cramming that time because my laptop is not responding and so I never had powerpoint presentation for that time but I still managed to have a good presentation and everything turned out so well, same thing with my Thesis Proposal - 4 months after, I am so flattered with each "Very Good" compliment of my panels and I also have seen where my thesis will go now... I am currently in the phase of data collection and soon will have my final defense, 

6. Cebu-Bohol Adventure

My Cebu and Bohol Experience  is one of my favorite for this year. It is always been my dream to visit these two islands and it all came true last first week of June 2013 for a 5 days vacay. I so missed the lechon cebu, their own version of pochero and the danggit... I couldn't remember how many cups of rice I am eating for every meal I had when I was in Cebu. and Bohol? I will never forget how kind, hospitable and funny people are in this paradise. Plus the beauty of the island and their beaches? Such a real paradise. sadly, bohol and cebu experienced some tragedy last year but i know that they'll recover and will be such wonderful people again. I am hoping to visit them as well.

7. Awarded as a Top Performer

It was during the last week of June when my boss called me and some of my team mate to go to the conference hall. I am wondering what is that for and my boss didn't gave us any clue. I was puzzled after seeing some of other staffs as well in there but what makes me more puzzled is that: the bosses are there and later on the scenario is that: It is a recognition of the sites Top performer. and one of the bosses told me "I am so happy and so proud of you" she is actually one of the witness how I struggled before and now a Top performer. Thanks.

I am just proud that I managed to stay in here for One Year. Though there are a lot of times I asked myself if I am  now ready to leave. There are lots of factor that triggers me to do so, but honestly my heart has been captured by this institution and I told myself to never leave unless I have made a great contribution here and I just hope that I could influence my one and only friend left.

9. New Found Friends

As I stayed in this institution, I was able to see that I am blessed because I am having a lot of good friends and I always know they are so true to me. There are times that they are giving me a lot of efforts and I appreciate it all, I just wonder sometimes why they're doing those things for me though I am not that good enough to deserve those treatment but I am loving them better each day.

10. Loveless

Ahaha! I am considering my single-ness as one of the greatest thing happened this 2013 as I realized that I am not ready yet. I think I am to immature enough for this and I can't commit to a relationship since I am so busy with my career, family and my studies. I know that we could be friends first but I ought not to commit for the mean time.

2013 has given me a lot of struggles but I don't blame those. at the end of the day i have realized that these struggles have made me a better and stronger person and It wouldn't end this way. I know that there are still a lot of years to come where I will be able to achieve my goals. So be prosperous this 2014 for all of us.
