Happy Holidays!!!

 

Mila and I want to greet everyone Happy Holidays!

 The year is almost up. It's the time to look back on what was and look forward to what will be. 2015 had been a roller coaster ride of emotions for me. It's fortunate I love riding extreme rides
I feel like the year went by too quickly, yet it was so full of memories and lessons. My top lesson: love yourself. Health concerns had me pause and realize that my body is not what it used to be, and never will be. I should take care of me first so I can take care of everyone else. Thank you Lord for giving me a longer lease in life.
My little princess is growing up quickly too. There are times I wish I could keep her like this: sweet and innocent. Yet I'm as excited to see her explore the world and grow into the best person that she can be. My fervent wish is that I will be there to guide her along the way. 2015 thought me that I cannot be with my child all the time, but my love for her will stay and guide her always.
There are a lot of things in my life that has room for improvement. I say, be happy with what you have yet be bold to aim for more. Sometimes, all you need to do is ask. Like now, as I write this at work (shhhh), I asked no one in particular if they have food since I'm hungry. And someone responded and gave me cup noodles. Thanks Vince! There are tons to be thankful for. From small wins, to big success. Even the trials that had thought me to be stronger, I thank God for that. Most of all, I'm thankful for my family and friends. For my husband who show me that I am stronger than I think. For my dad who inspire me and motivates me to work harder in keeping my family. For my Mom who spoils my kid with love and got my back every time. To my sisters who I bully, and bullies me back to remind me I can be more beautiful. To my aunt and cousins who put up with my craziness. To my in laws who inspire me to keep my faith. To friends who I owe so much time and kwento and yet, they still understand and support me. To my workmates who make long hours spent at work more worthwhile and enjoyable, even if it's challenging. To my blog community who had taught me a lot. To our current and past yayas who love and take care of our daughter.
Our Daughter. MILA. My one and only reason for everything. If there is only one thing I will be thankful for this year, and the years to follow, it will always be Mila. She teaches me humility and pride. She makes me experience the pains of failure and gives me the endless joy of success. She is my pride. She is my life. Thank you Lord for my wonderful girl and for all the time I get to be with this angel.
 I have so many thing I want this coming year. Goals and missions for myself and the people I love. Dreams I know I can make come true. I'll make that list private lest I preempt them. Let's just say that 2016 will see a new me. 
Let's leave 2015 and start 2016 with a happy heart and a determination of making our goals and dreams come true. Wishing everyone a joyful celebration! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and oh, Happy Birthday to me too! ;)
