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.
Without an air of swell, mixed with whirlwind emotions, lots of tears, daily smiles here and there, full of hopes, and mostly spent on solitude... this is my list that prolly got carved already in my mind and heart:
1. Back to basics
2. Muling nagbalik sa bayang sinilangan
3. Thankful, no regrets
4. Back to renting bedspacer
5. re-uniting with religious duties
6. tried going pescetarian (try lang)
7. leading a team - again
8. Helpdesk biz
9. passive agressive genX
10. escalations handling
11. managing people (one downs and ups)
12. bought my first house
13. break-ups (4 times, only; inclusive of unannounced rels - seryosong usapin lang hahaha)
14. consistency sa pagtupad ng tungkulin
15. short stint as Pangulo sa south
16. making ends meet to para matapos si housey
17. got to xperience paycheck-to-paycheck lifestyle (who doesn't?)
18. moved in to my own apartment
19. hopper to different call centers in the south
20. muntikan nang mag work uli sa MOA (buti nalang di natuloy)
21. approved US visa
22. cancelled flights
23. back to writing poetry
24. moved in to my new house
25. consistently independent
26. generous giver and supporter
27. tried the dark mode
28. lustful encounters but not yielding
29. brief affairs of the dark side
30. hopes, sunlights, smiles
31. overwork - stress - unmet expectations
32. bought my first car na dipa marunong magdrive
33. natutong magdrive ng manual via the car dealer (hahahaha)
34. disconnection of provincial home - kung saan ako lumaki at nagkaisip (long story)
35. relocation of parents to new environment and house
36. playing the arrows of cupid - enjoying the thrill and suffering the consequences
37. fell in lab (once, twice) pero...
38. solo driving from manila to Isabela and vice versa (mag-isa lang okey?)
39. had a major car crash; life was spared - Pure Thankful
40. my 9th locale transferee and im running 5 years without xferring (yet)
41. shifted to IT job
42. got into teaching via ALS (yeah the govt initiated program)
43. ran & walked the esplanade in Iloilo
44. got my 1st MBP (pure wowser)
45. luvin my Apl Watch - if you're reading this, u should grab one - series 5
46. walking and fitness at home is bliss (no cost at all)
47. discovered Reddit
48. got my first domain; then bought a second one (unpublished)
49. lands lands lands and titles
50. a lot more, pero secret na po ung iba.
So, what's next? Let's go ahead and create another decade of colorful events, akin to going the flow or being aggressive to change the life you're aiming to be.
