These photos sum up my year 2015!!!
2015 had been a roller coaster ride--it has its ups and down. But with the help of my family and friends and also with the help and guidance of the Almighty, I made it through!!!
I must say also that year 2015 is a kaleidoscope of happenings and experiences in my life.
January
Let's start the year with a bang! =)
Work in the office starts with a bang when my Supervisor handed me the responsibility of handling applications of clients as well as marketing condominium of this supposed to be joint venture between my agency and this private company.

| VALENTINE'S DAY FAMILY DINNER |
ON VALENTINES DAY, we had a family dinner at Grand Caprice Restaurant at Lim Ketkai. We were complete at that time. My brother, who is currently reviewing for his board exam at that time, was in CDO for he has to process his documents and papers for his graduation.

REUNION WITH THE GC GIRLS!
The GC Girls had a reunion since Liesbeth is in town. It's hard to catch up with Liesbeth. She works for an NGO called Balay Mindanao and she works outside CDO, mostly in Visayas area. That's why when she called for a reunion, the girls instantly gather up!
GC Girls was formed on year 2007. The members of this group are classmates on my senior high school year...
That nigh, we had dinner at Grand Central followed by a Karaoke night at Song Hits...which eventually lead to an unexpected situation. One my friends got really drunk that night that we had to bring her to her mother (who's waiting for her).
I miss going out with them. I hope by next year I can spend more time with them and I hope that we'll have more of food trips and karaoke nights and travel together.
RANDOM WEEKEND WITH THEM...
Catching up with the Ngoys...with Chinita Cycy, Red-face Judee and Madam Kaye

HANGOUT WITH THE COLLEGE BARKADA
Dinner with the college barkada...it's rare to be with these people nowadays due to different schedules of work and priorities.
If my memory serves me right, prior to this dinner, I watched a movie with Kaye and Hearty...then after that we had dinner at Panagatan, Centrio...

After dinner, Rexter and Kristine came and join us....and then we went to High Ridge--the Ultimate View On Top! The place is located at Upper Macasandig and it gives you an overlooking view of the City! It's my first time there and I like the ambiance of the place...
May
It's SUMMER TIME!!!
NHA Annual HRD / Summer Escapade
For most of us in the office, we always look forward to the month of May because it's that time of the year when we take off from our work and daily routines and go somewhere to relax, enjoy, wander, and indulge ourselves in fun activities.
This year, we had our Summer Outing at the Island of Camiguin

Manguli ta sa Bohol....
As a descendant of Dagohoy...I mean as a person with a Bol-anon blood running through me (kaliwat Bol-anon), May or Mayo wont be complete without coming home to your homeland, dear Province of Bohol...it's a tradition which run for ages and even until now.
Almost every May, I go to Bohol and pay a visit to my elders and relatives there...it's also a good place to unwind and escape the bustling city and enjoy a great time with family and friends.
On the picture above, that was when I just arrived at my Grandmother's place.

365/365. Year 2015 is finally coming to its end. It's a bittersweet memory. A mix of emotions. A kaleidoscope of events.
No more crying of the past. No more thinking of regrets. Life is what you make it.
I thank the Lord for the year that has been. It was a wonderful ride, I say. I thank the Lord for the wonderful people I'm with and for the wonderful places I've seen and for the wonderful memories I had.
Now here's for the year that had been: Good bye 2015! You made me into who I AM today!
"Let's celebrate endings as they precede beginnings!"
with so much love,
