45 Days Before The Start of A New Decade:2020, What Were Your Best Moments?

2020 Here you come, pero iba parin if you get to review what happened in the past, yung mag-isip ka paano ung nagdaang buhay mo, positive or negative.

Here are some of my best moments of this decade (2010-2019) that's about to pass. It's nice to reflect, assess, look-back or reminisce the journey -- may it be the ugly, extreme, funny, harrowing, but most importantly the moments that made my heart alive - living this life.
