Happy 2019!
Once again, I am truly thankful for a spectacular 2018 that brought a lot of incredible experiences. The most memorable highlight has to be my trip to South America. I went to Peru, Brazil, and Argentina and I got to visit four places in my bucket list.
I also got to revisit a couple of places in the Philippines: Dumaguete and Tagaytay (twice). The first trip to Tagaytay was with my friends, where we stayed in the amazingly beautiful Casa dlF. The second was to attend Kermin and Gerhard's wedding. That wasn't the only wedding I attended. I became a second-time wedding ninong for Marge and JB. I also attended the weddings of AJ and Elmer and of my cousin Twinkle and Mike.
Another highlight was taking my family to see The Lion King. I am still quite happy that we got an aisle seat and that the elephant walked right next to us.
I got to stay in a few hotels during the year: Siglo Suites (for the first time), Manila Peninsula, and Fraser Place. I got to eat in some restaurants for the first time like The Lost Bread, Ippudo, and Buca di Beppo, and I also got to try the absolutely delicious cheese tarts in Bake.
Other cool stuff: I finished reading two books, City of Dark Magic and Slade House. I saw and took photos of the Super Blue Blood Moon. I got my first-ever prescription reading glasses. I started more actively using reusable food containers when buying take-out. I'm also happy that Nadal won his 11th French Open title, that the Petron Blaze Spikers defended their All-Filipino title, and that the Manila Symphony Junior Orchestra took first place at the Summa Cum Laude Festival in Austria. Cool!
Add to all these the many great reunions, get-togethers with friends, and fun game nights, plus of the course quality and quantity time I got to spend with my family and you have a recipe for a truly amazing year. Hopefully, I can continue to have wonderful experiences in 2019.
