Fitness and Running
This one's a bit tricky this year because I was finally able to achieve my target weight of 65 kg this year (around March - May) but then I slowly gained back the weight that I lost because I slacked off on my kickboxing and running routines. I'm at 71 kg at the end of the year, a whole kilo heavier than when I started this year. I had more 10 kilometer runs this year, though, and I think if I just stick to a more regular running and gym schedule, plus keeping my rice intake to just during lunchtime, I'd be able to go back and maintain my ideal weight this year.
(Follow me on Strava! Hahaha!)
Advocacies
Wow, I've been really busy this year, and everybody seems to know it. Haha! (So I guess I really do overshare on soc med, huh?)
But then if it means getting more media mileage for the causes that I support, and also getting more people supporting them, then I'm fine with the oversharing.
(The redtagging and profiling are not fun, though.)
Creative Work
I guess this year was the year I was able to professionally *earn* from my writing? Haha! I'm really glad they were both for advocacies, though. My first time to write a song, too! Oh, and international publication isn't half bad either.
Denden
Ah, my one constant source of happiness in this world of unpredictability. Denden and I shared so many special things this year, from running her first 3 km and 5 km races, to celebrating her 7th birthday, to joining me in Acad Union meetings, to reading my children's story with her in front of a hall filled with more than 2,000 people! Of course, the little things are just as special: reading with her in bookshops, drinking our favorite java chip frap, and plain goofing around with her. I think she's growing up tooo fast so I'm trying to make the most out of the little time I get to spend with her.
Career
I thought I've taken it easy on the overworking but the certificates of participation in my drawers beg to differ. On more pleasant thoughts, though, all five of my TEAM ESG members have finally graduated I AM SO HAPPY!!! Oh, and that big promotion at the end of the year wasn't half bad.
Family
I FINALLY CAME OUT TO NANAY PULIS SO I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF ME. :P
Love
Like they said, it's good to save the best for last. And *sigh* I'm at a loss for words at just how awesome this year has been because I've finally found the Love I've been praying for.
Anyway, it's almost always around this time of the year when I promise to post more in this blog but seeing I never fulfill this promise, let's just see how this one goes, yes?
Cheers to all the joy of 2019, and kampay to more wonderful things to come in 2020!
