Thank You 2014.

Few more hours to go and goodbye 2014, hello 2015 na. I want to share with you how blessed I/we this year, although there are ups and down in our family, still God has another way in showing his love to us. Last year, I listed my/our goals for 2014 and you know what most of them na accomplished namin and guess what, mas marami pa kaming blessings na nareceived. Thank you Lord!

Here are the highlights of our 2014!

1. I just gave birth to a healthy and beautiful baby girl!

This is my major achievement in life and I really love my new job - MOTHER! Ang magsilang ng isang baby, no one can compare how happy I am when I saw my baby love for the first time and it’s Amazing feeling! Basta para bang kumpleto na ang buhay ko because of her. Thank you Lord for this wonderful blessing! Rhian is our angel, my everything.

2. Successful Baptismal Ceremony

We welcome our baby love in to the Christian World last April 26, 2014.

3. Staycation with Family.

Mother's Day Celebration

Hubby's Birthday

Rhian's Monthly Celebration

We visited 3 hotels this year just for staycation. Wohooo!!! More staycation on 2015!

4. Booked! 1^st out of town (via plane) as a Family

When Rhian was 2 months old, my husband and I decided to booked a flight to Boracay in 2015 (Summer). So imagine 1 year advance nag book na kami. Di naman masyadong excited noh. Hehe.

5. 1^st out of town

Our 1^st out of town as a family this year! Wohooo.. Hello Tagaytay! Thanks to my friends who accompany us during this trip.

6. My husband got his promotion!

Another Thank you Lord! I’m speechless! He handed me a letter from his company stating that he is promoted. Congrats Honey!

7. I won at the raffle, not once not twice but trice!

This year, I was surprised when I won at the raffle/giveways. Imagine,  for the first time in my working life, nanalo ako ng major prize – REFRIGERATOR! Woohooo! Thank you Lord!

8. New Group, New Friends = Happy ME!

This year, I’m so active sa social media. FB and Instagram halos 24/7 akong online and because mommy na ko, I joined Mommy Bloggers Philippines wherein I met super duper gaganda at mababait na mommies.

9. More PR + Mommy Events

This year also I make it a point to update my blog as often as I can and happy to say I received lots of PR from social media and attended events as a blogger. I’m so happy talaga, because of this blog I was able to meet new friends and experience different thing in my life. #SarapMagingBlogger

10. New Domain Name

I started blogging since 2010 and after 4 years napalitan na ang domain ko. (Click here for the story behind this domain name). 

11. New Investment

We invested our money for Rhian’s future. We got a plan at Pru Life which is payable for 10 years. We really need this kasi gusto namin na sa magandang school mag aaral ang anak namin, and 10 year mabilis na yun right. Ika nga namin, pikit mata namin babayaran yun para sa kinabukasan ni Rhian.

Ian also got his Protection and Retirement Plan, he wanted to secure our future narin para kahit pag tanda namin may mahuhugutan kaming pera.

12. Good Health

Thank you Lord. This year, hindi kami nagkasakit mag asawa, then si Rhian since birth, twice lang sya nilagnat which lasted for 4 days (recently, yung 4 days fever nya which according to her pedia, viral daw), so kahit na nag ngingipin sya hindi sya nagkakasakit. Praise God! This is one of our greatest blessings this year! We have a healthy life.

13. Successful Breastfeeding Journey

Palakpakan! Congrats to me! I breastfed my baby for 11 months and counting! This is one of the reasons kung bakit healthy and super siksik ang anak ko. Breast Milk is still BEST milk for baby. Thank you Lord for giving me much milk. #ProudToBeBreastFeedingMom

14. Rhian’s Monthly Celebration

We make sure to celebrate every 20^thof the month, birth date of my maCUTElit na baby. Thank you sa lahat ng sponsors during our celebrations.

15. Approved Loan!

My husband decided to apply for loan this year, thank God naapproved sya and now were thinking kung bibili kami ng bagong sasakyan (remember the car accident happened to us almost 2 months ago, well until now hindi parin ayos yung sasakyan namin! Booo!!!) or house and lot. Hirap mag rent ng bahay, pinapayaman lang namin yung lessor, imagine almost 2 years na kaming nagbabayad ng 10k monthly sa bahay na hindi naman mapupunta sa amin. Hayz. I will let you know kung anong final decision namin. :)

These were just a few of the highlights from this pretty amazing year. God is so good all the time that’s why I always thank the Lord for all the blessings we received, kahit na marami kaming napagdaanan sa buhay nalagpasan namin syang mag asawa ng hawak-kamay. We’re looking forward to 2015. Cheers!
