Goodbye 2012. Hello 2013.
Each day is travelling as fast as a bullet. I didn't realize it's already 13 years after the dreaded year2k. Last month's so-called viral end of the world according to Mayan Calendar didn't happen. That's two "threats" to the world I am living in and it's still alive and kicking. Time is passing by so fast that sometimes it scares me. I cannot cope up with how fast it flies by. I couldn't even managed my time well to record those memorable events in my and baby's life. I love writing down my thoughts and feelings on a notebook and modern times made me a hardcore blogger. That was back when time is still in my hands. Now, I got a lot of backlogs. So, at least at the beginning of each year, I tried my best to look back into the previous year and blog them - well, at least the summary of it. I do this because I am hoping that in the future, time will slow down and let me go back and read through all the things I have written down. I have a backup in case blogspot site will not be in existence in the near future :) So, to start my previous year lookback, below were the pieces of my 2012 puzzle.
In January, celebrating our first new year in our new place and our manila visit is the top happy moments of this month. This was also our princess's first time to be a flower girl although she didn't walk, I think she did really enjoy her princess gown. This month is also memorable as I was able to see my HS barkada after a long time. Thanks to FB. A visit from Mama Mary is indeed a blessing. And of course, our bf-gf anniversary :)
In February, bunso's arrival and working here made it to the top happy moment of this month. Mama Mary's one month visit ended on this month also. What's good about this month is, this being the love month, I got a dinner surprise from dadi. This month's downer is work related. The year was only starting and the stress was pinning me down already.
In March, first time to watch a musical (Wicked) at MBS with Dadi and the gucci baby#2 were the top happy moments of this month. Only downer is still work related.
In April, our yearly tradition bisita iglesia is our top moment of the month. This month, we welcome in our family the new 2 iPad's, one for bunso and one for me.
In May, celebrating mother's day is the top of this month. This is extra special mother's day because now Cheska know already how to greet me with a kiss! Plus I got a surprise flowers from dadi which is a big wow. And I got a new pair of very expensive Tory Burch shoes. Hooray!
In June, celebrating father's day is the top of this month. Dadi was also the ninong of the Malanyaon-Lim's new bundle of joy - Baby Manu.
In July, celebrating baby Cheska's 3rd birthday and my in laws visit to singapore is the top of this month. And our first time to be inside Universal Studios Singapore :) It's a busy busy month but full of happiness and all gala :)
In August, birthday celebration with family and our family trip to KL, Malaysia is the top of this month. The downer was the farewell dinner for one of my favorite friend - cuz.
In September, a lot of things happen on this month. Mostly birthdays and farewells to some colleagues. Those made it to the top of this month is of course our wedding anniversary, bunso's birthday, my new LV mini pochette and of course, my new LV Bag #3. Downer is still work related. Plus a few close friends from work are leaving.
In October, the top of this month is our trip together with two friends from work in Legoland and Hello Kitty Town and of course the Johor Premium Outlet. It was a really memorable trip and truly unforgettable :p It's also Ate Bheng's birthday so as a gift, we gave her the ticket to watch the ASAP Singapore while I and Cheska had a bonding moment at her favorite place - SingKids. I had my Tory Burch slippers delivered which I ordered online and a lot cheaper than buying at the store.
In November, my first 10km marathon run together with my bunso is on the top of this month plus this was the first month that I'll be free from stress from work. I've acquired some friends at work and I'm so thankful for them. This month was all despedida lunch and night out. It was fun and I'm surely gonna miss these guys. But all these happy moments were negated when I was hospitalized for ectopic pregnancy for 4 days. All will be blogged soon so I'll remember them in the future.
In December, aside from celebrating Christmas and New Year's Eve, my top 1 of the month is the christmas gift I got from habidad - a mulberry wallet. And blessings are pouring with our Manila and Baguio trip with Cheska and my Vietnam trip.
So for the year 2012, It's nothing but blessings and memories with families and friends. The only downer for this year for me is my work and I'm hoping that 2013 will be good to me when it comes to this area. Goodbye 2012! It’s been fun and lovely being with you!
