It’s new year again!
New life. New Challenges. And more NEWs. Before that, I just want to share some of the highlights in my 2014.
JANUARY
Witnessed the Christmas Light display. We are just in time because the next day, they started dismantling it.

God for all the blessings that came.

steamer for my kitchen adventures.

I also made a very challenging crochet project: The Soccer Ball (you
can check to the pattern HERE.). I am very happy knowing that our customer liked it.

MAY
It's Mommy's birth month. I can't remember if I give her a gift. Parang wala kasi hindi ko maalala. Pati
yata Mother’s day gift wala. Bawi na
lang next time.

We had our company's yearly outing at Bethel
Hot Spring Resort in Pansol, Calamba, Laguna. Looking forward to our next outing.
JUNE
A very nice Father's Day gift to level-up
my kitchen adventures.

I used it on my first attempt to bake chocolate cupcakes for our Little Boss' Cars-themed Birthday Party.

On the same day, Matthew was officially declared as school boy! Bilis talaga ng panahon.

JULY
We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary, 11th year as lovers.
Like Mommy said, we just stayed and enjoyed our mini-celebration at home.
AUGUST
Mommy had a business trip in KL which brings more father and son
bonding to me and Matthew. Though she’s thousand miles away, we still manage to
keep in touch through video call. Thanks to Skype!

SEPTEMBER
I got a chance to re-visit Rizal's house with a side trip to Calamba Baywalk. On Matthew's field trip, we are supposed to visit the house but we arrived late of the time agreed in the said location. Blame
it to EDSA's traffic jam!

This is his first time to perform on stage.

Finally, I got the first item on my wishlist – a new phone.

On this month, we received a bad news that we will face a problem could affect us financially. I know HE will help us get through this. Sabi ko nga: Pera lang yan. Kikitahin din yan. Just keep your faith on HIM.
NOVEMBER
I was lucky to be qualified to share a bag of my blood that will help save someone's life.

DECEMBER
This has been the most awaited month of the year because of the
Holiday Season.
Before the season’s celebration, we visited some places in Laguna on Matt's School Field trip. This is also my first time in Enchanted Kingdom. I will make a separate story on this.

I also got a second item on my wishlist - a new TV set that replaces
our 4-year-old CRT TV. The third item might be on my birthday.
 |
But above of all, we celebrated the most important person in this
month – the birth of Jesus Christ. On this day, we went to Divine Mercy Shrine in Sta. Rosa, Marilao, Bulacan. This was the only place we visited that day.
Matt was very happy to see Santa throwing goodies at the terrace after the last morning mass.

Though there are many challenges encountered, I still am very thankful for the year 2014. I just kept on being positive that we can handle it with the help of HIM. And just like the old saying: "Ang problema, parang bisita lang yan. Nakikiraan lang bahay, hindi nakikitira." Just walk by faith.
That’s how my 2014 was and looking forward to a very prosperous 2015!
