2010 New Year’s Resolution
My 2010′s resolution is to be healthier! This one is a bit tricky because it comes with a lot of sub items so I’ll just focus on the following for now:

- Explore raw food – salads, sashimi, etc.
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water everyday.
- Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.

Welcome 2010
So many things have happened to me this past year and I’ll try to account them all here so that when 2011, 2012, and so on comes, I have something to look back to…
- I got married and it’s been great! We are about to celebrate our first year anniversary on the 11th.
- Pearl Farm – A great experience and overall a good choice for our honeymoon. What made this vacation even more fun was we got to spend it with sis and cousin.
- Riverfront condo turnover – The actual turnover was last January but we moved in on May 1 because of the interior design and construction.
- Feb 14 – Celebrated V day at Clark by attending the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta.
- Feb 18 – I transferred work from Lawson PSSC to ACS of the Philippines.
- Tried a few good restos: Mr. Kurosawa, Spiral, My Thai, Abe, Cafe Adriatico, Feli J’s, Thai Silk, Jatujak, Chiggy’s, and Pamana.
- Birth of Kitchen BQ.
- Satisified my curiosity by experiencing The Boutique first hand.
- Got introduced to Ilog Maria and their products.
- Survived Ondoy and Pepeng – Thank God!
- Mourned over Michael Jackson’s death and watched “This is It”.
- Received a few great gifts: 2009 Best Restos book from boss, DSLR and Belle de Jour planner from hb, wallet from tita, and notebook from a friend.
- Received a few more gifts from God – Good health, complete family, kind second family, loving husband, great career despite the recession, and a great startup kit for 2010 ;p
- Went to HK and experienced Disneyland, Ocean Park, and the city itself.
- Attended Trend Micro’s Iconique Christmas Party – great party as usual.
- Attended ACS’ Perya Christmas Party – Our booth was called “In Your Face”, here’s why.
- Attended MJT’s Christmas Party – Had loads of fun!
- Decorated our home for Christmas – This was one of the most difficult things I had to do because of my lack of creativity.
Speaking of Christmas decor, Three Kings is almost over and right after today, most homes will start putting their Christmas decors away. To tell you honestly, I already did that yesterday when I got the chance (house help came over).
Here’s one way of storing your Christmas decors to ensure that they will still be in good shape for next year =) After all, it’s not easy and pocket friendly to buy a new set every year.
Cheers! Have a great year ahead peeps =)
