Hello 2016: Year of Bravery and Adventure

2016 is a year of mixed feelings for me.

It signals the end of something for me.

It is a start of something new, moving forward to something nobody, even I, don't know.

And, of course, a year of goals, some I've had before but most of it are new!

Final Chapter

     January 4 marks my last day at work. I know it wouldn't be easy saying goodbye to the people I've worked with for the past 6 years. Suy Sing is really a company that treated me well, made me feel like I'm part of a family. It is where I made a lot of friends, became a better person, and honed my talents. The friendships I made there are priceless and even though I won't be able to see them everyday anymore, the friendship will always be there. 

Moving forward: about bravery and adventure

     This is the first time in 6 years that I'm starting a year unemployed. It's scary but I also think it's exciting. I'm excited for what 2016 has in store for me.There are a lot of things going on my mind about what my next step would be and also people and friends are telling me and asking me what I should do but there's only one thing I am sure of. Whatever my next step would be, I would venture into it whole-heartedly. I'm turning 29 on my birthday and I promised myself that this year I'm going to do all the things I want to do and try everything without reservations. I'm not getting any younger and I don't want to live a life of what ifs. I've written in paper my goals this year and I'll also put them here for everyone to see :) 

• Do everything at least once - As I said, I wanna try everything without reservations. I want to try a lot of stuff like zip lining, skydiving, scuba diving, etc. 
• Never be shy and scared, and be courageous - these stuff always hinders me from doing things I want to do and I am also a worrier. That's one of the things I would work on this year. Good thing I have friends who always cheer on me to do extreme stuff, or to just approach a cute guy. haha 
• Make the most out of every moment - This isn't really that hard for me but I still put it there to remind me to be thankful and appreciate every moment I have with friends, family and loved ones. 
• Enjoy being single, but don't embrace it too much! - This has been an annual problem for me: being single. I have always been looking to be in a relationship, wondering why I am still single at my age. Sometimes it even makes me think that there's something wrong with me or I just don't really know how to deal with guys. I don't know what happened or what the turning point is, but suddenly, last year, I've learned to enjoy being single: I get to do whatever stuff I want to without somebody telling me not to do it, and I can enjoy dating other people. Don't get me wrong, I still want to be in a relationship, but with the right person. So, I've decided to not always fret about it and just enjoy being single. When the right person comes, I"m sure I'll know. :)
• Try a lot of new things - I would like to try something new at least once a week: may it be a new restaurant or new hobby. Among the top things on my list are: enroll in a makeup school, enroll in a driving school and have my own healthy food delivery service. :)
• Reach my goal weight and maintain it - Aside from my love life, this is also one annual goal that is elusive, or maybe I just love food too much. haha This year it's gonna change. I'm gonna reach my goal weight and maintain it! and next year my goal would just be "to maintain my weight". :) I've only been doing weights and cardio exercises. I'm thinking of trying boxing, yoga, pilates, zumba, anything that would make me lose weight and at the same time I should also enjoy doing it! One thing I need to do is to lessen my intake of food, esp sweets. I'm not the type of person who would be contented with just a small piece of chocolate or candy, it's all or nothing with me. haha So I need to watch my intake of food, and workout at leat 4 times a week. I've done it before, I know I can do it again! :) 

This sums up how I feel and my goals for 2016! I know they are easier said than done, but I'll strive hard and read this post every now and then to remind me of my goals and to check if I am going the right way to reaching those goals. :) 

Cheers to you all! :)
