The year 2011 proved me that God moves mysteriously. I didn’t know what to expect for that year. I simply placed everything in His hands and let Him lead my way. I’ve given up on controlling my life 100%. Well I tried to, but I failed. God’s promises never let me down. I couldn’t thank Him more than enough for the overflowing blessings he poured on me last year. Indeed, I have a Big God! 

I just want to share with you the memories 2011 created, the highlights of my year. I promise to never forget to look back on how my 20th year started and be thankful of my blessings from my heavenly Father. 

January 2011 – Boating in Cebu. Whatever happened on that boat, stays on that boat. Kagulo boat ride with these people. 

Sinulog Vibes – Memorable and epic trip! 🙂 I’m excited to go back this January 2012!!!

January 2011 – “FriDate” Birthday Celebration with Pao. Just 2 days before our party, we planned everything in less than 24 hours. As a result of our party, everyone had a blast. I was inspired by my Cebu trip (Sinulog) so I brought oil pastels to draw on the faces of our guests. Haha! Crazy and fun! :))

My new baby, Canon 60D. Named my baby, Bryce. (Effect of watching Chuck, TV Series)

The sweet little girl I love, Mandy <3. If only I can visit her everyday, kiss her cheeks everyday and hug her tightly everyday!!!

Star Magic memories. Saturdays are never the same anymore. There were so much fun activities we had. I miss the people and those workshops!

The D-group (discipleship group) I handled during Labeedabeedoo College Camp. Thank you girls for being so open and comfortable with me. Thank you for being cooperative and making my life easier as a leader. Hehe. 🙂 I love you girls!!! 🙂

Halloween/Costume party at Kyss. I dressed up as a Cheerleader. 

Another Halloween/Costume Party at Ponti. I came from Phil. Fashion Week in SMX and didn’t plan to go to a costume party that night. So I improvised by rushing to Toy Kingdom, find a wand and a tiara. Result, I was a fairy. Haha!

The Food Scout, Finalist for the Best Food & Beverage Blog category. Whew! Thank you Philippine Blog Awards for recognizing my blog. This recognition gave my blog a boost! For me, it was a humbling experience to be chosen as one of the Finalists.

My pledge for 2012: I will continue to do my purpose in life, which is to honor God in everything I do. I will perform excellently. Not to please anyone else, for an audience of One. Lastly, I will try my very best to act as an Ambassador of God.

Cheers,
