twenty eleven
>> Saturday, December 31, 2011
Two years ago, I’ve decided that I’m going to focus on a certain “theme” or goal for each year as I figured that is the best approach if I were to accomplish all the things that I want. The way I see it is that after one year of doing things related to my goal, I’ve already made a habit out of them so I will then continue to do them the succeeding years, effortlessly. And the next year, I come up with a new goal and they eventually add up to the previous years’.
For this year, it was “giving more and giving back”. I think I' did quite well in terms of supporting a few organizations and projects:
CRIBS Foundation, Children’s Joy Foundation, Typhoon Sendong Survivors.
But more than these I would like to believe that this year, I was also more giving to family and friends. Not only of material things but more importantly of time, encouragement and support. This is a little more difficult to measure and I can only hope that during the times we spent together, they felt more loved and appreciated.

On a lighter note, I think this was also the year that I travelled the most: Jan – Davao; Feb – Boracay; Mar – Taal Volcano, Vietnam; Apr – Mt. Pinatubo; Jun – Ilocos; Nov – Hong Kong; Dec – Bicol. Plus of course a few other adventures and new things learned in between.
Thank you, 2011. You’ll be one of those years that I will always look back to with happiness. :)
