Hooray for 2017! Hello, 2018!
January 03, 2018
My perfume business partnership with my BFF that started in late December 2016 is still ongoing. We always see each other and it's one of the best ways to take a break from our usual routines. It's a nice way to mix business and pleasure, isn't it?

I never thought that I would be fitter and stronger last year although I admit that I gained weight due to my "cheat eats" during the holidays.

I blog and do freelance writing because they truly make me happy and sane that's why I don't feel that they're work.
In line with blogging, I never thought that it could be the channel for opportunities and collaborations to come way.
It's almost my sixth year of blogging. I am not selling myself short but I am aware that I have so much more to learn. Despite of that shortcoming, I feel elated when there are amazing brands and people who contacted me last year for collaborations and opportunities.
To the following, thanks for the love! I would like to thank you for making my blogging more colorful, meaningful, and purposeful in 2017.

Blogger friends na matagal ko ng kilala at bago pa lang nakilala, pagkadami-dami ninyo hindi ko na kayo iisa-isahin kasi bukas na ako matatapos, you know who you are. Love ko kayo.
Natupad ang dream ko na sumulat sa isang local online magazine. Thanks, Miss Kathy Ngo and Psst.ph family, for allowing me to be part of the team.

To the PRs and brands that I declined due to conflict in schedule due to mom duties, thank you for understanding and for still trusting this Mama.
Loyal readers and followers na naging friends ko na rin na nandiyan palagi to support hindi lang present kapag may giveaway ako. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Kung may nakalimutan po ako, ipagpaumanhin ninyo po at ako'y may memory gap. I hope I didn't miss anyone.
My life this year like the previous years is all about family, mompreneurship, friendships, blogging, and relationships and I don't complain. I may not be rich in material possesions but I am proud to say that I am rich with so many memories and good company. My life is not perfect but seeing what's good in every imperfection keeps me going. Hindi naman tayo pinababayaan ni Lord. Just believe, have faith, and work hard!
Looking back at my five years of blogging, there were people who didn't understand why I keep on doing it. There was one person even asked, "Ano ba ang makukuha mo riyan? Bakit ka ba post nang post ng kung anu-ano? Para saan ba 'yan?" I couldn't remember exactly the words that I said to satisfy her curiosity. I just told her that I was happy.
"Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go."

Happy new year!
