Life Is a Journey, not a Competition

"Life is a Journey, not a Competition."

I came across this image on Facebook today and thought to myself, wow! This rings true to me.

We're here to enjoy life, not pull each other down. This year, I've decided I will live each day like it's my last and be happy and spread happiness where I am. After all, life's too short to be feeling down all the time. I choose to be happy and I will be happy because I believe God loves me and wants what's best for me.

Indeed, life is a journey... meant to be celebrated and enjoyed. We're here to share this amazing creation given to us by God and we should definitely enjoy every single moment. I'm very excited about what's coming next month too!

My bestest college friends and I are going to Bataan for a short vacation and I'm super excited about it! This will definitely be another journey to remember – making memories to last us a lifetime. I really hope we'll have enough time to explore and capture those moments. More importantly, I'm happy I'll be spending time with some of the most positive people in the whole wide world. I can't wait to share the laughter and moments of joy and pure bliss with these amazing earthlings.

I've arrived at that point in my life where I recognize who I should keep and who I should leave behind. I've been hurt before, yes. But I am also perfectly, completely, and totally loved. Thank You, Lord Jesus for another year! I can't wait to see how 2019 unfolds. I'll be more hands on, that's for sure. I will enjoy every moment and see where Life leads me. Lead the way, Lord Jesus! Amen.

5 Things I'm Looking Forward to in 2019

And so it begins... 2019 is here and I'm super excited about what's coming.

Here are just 5 of the amazing things I'm looking forward to this year:

1. Travel Plans
Next month, my friends and I are going to travel again – this time we're going to visit Las Casas. Definitely something to look forward to this year. I'm travelling with these lovely peepz!

2. Health Goals
This year, I commit to living a more healthy lifestyle. Less or no junk food and more fruits and veggies (good luck to me! LOL!). I'm going walking every day, as my schedule (and the weather) permits. No biking for me yet until I lose 20lbs because I don't want to risk another accident.

3. Career Plans
I plan to keep an eye out for opportunities for growth in my freelancing career. Right now I've got 2 clients and I'm hoping to grow into an agency by attracting more clients. I also intend to grow and learn new skills this year, SEO and Facebook Marketing in particular.

4. Spiritual Growth
Because 2018 was a trying year for me, spiritually, I'm breaking free and moving on towards spiritual growth and maturity. I want faith restoration and I promised myself to be good and do good deeds this year and beyond.

5. Learn to Cook New Recipes
I've been a foodie-in-training for quite some time but my culinary repertoire is still basic. I want to learn how to cook new recipes and maybe bake (especially lasagna... yum!) a little. I don't have an oven so to my friends with ovens, expect me to raid your kitchen real soon. 😋

I am also looking forward to joining my colleagues in Manila in April for our first quarterly meeting. Exciting! I can't wait! Bring it on 2019! I intend to evolve this year! 💖

My 2019 Journey

Happy New Year, everyone!

Finally, 2019 has begun. As I'm writing this, I'm excited about this coming year. I claim, in Jesus' name, that this year will be filled with love, joy, and peace. Blessings will flow like a river through my life and my relationships will be blessed too.

What I'm most looking forward to this year are the travel plans that my friends and I are making. We're going to Vigan or Cambodia. Plus, I'll probably be going to Manila this April. My new client is also planning a major event here in Cebu this year.

There's a lot to look forward to in 2019. I hope to rebuild broken relationships, especially with my family and friends. I pray for abundance, blessings, healing, and miracles to flow into my life. I hope to become a blessing to my family and my friends and everyone who I meet this year.

The year 2019 will be a great one, I claim, in Jesus' name. Amen.

See you at the bright side! 😉
