The Year That Has Been and Will Be

2010....full of surprises, dreams and hopes, of suffering, let downs and emotional breakdown (lesser though compared to 2009). This is the year where I had dreamed of leaving the country. Tired of the job that didn't satisfy me anymore. There is a spark of hope in the first quarter of the year. I tried UK and US (again) but unfortunately I failed to pass their interviews. That was so heartbreaking. The start of the second quarter is much better, new opportunities came. I was able to grab a job offer in UK and I was able to return in my previous hospital (which is much better compared to my current workplace). The third quarter has been a slump but I enjoyed the company of my co-nurses. I found new friends. By the end of the year, another disappointment came, due to the recession in UK, the hospital were I was supposed to go to made a decision to cancel my job offer. But I'm still hoping.

2010 is the year that I've watched more films rather than read more books. Out of the 52 books that I should have read, I was able to read only 12 books.

12 Books out of 52..I wasn't able to meet the goal :(

This was also the time that I was able to visit new and old provinces. For the first time I was able to experience the magic of Bohol and was able to visit the home of the sisig, Pampanga! We also tried to visit the tourist attractions in Davao and splurge in Samal Island. And as usual we had our yearly visit in Siquijor Island.

Bohol, Davao, Pampanga and Samal Island :)

2011...the year of everything new: challenges, hopes and dreams, surprises and adventures. My only resolution is simple, that is to become happy and appreciate life as the days goes on. Hope for the best but do not expect too much. Love. Eat. Pray. Travel. Laugh. Cry. Enjoy the company of not just the good people but also the bad.

Two Goals for this year: Continue the challenge of Reading 52 books in 52 Weeks and to try the Project 360 - that thing where you take photos everyday for a year.
