Calamities, that would be the negative word that is associated with 2013. The biblical flooding proportion of Habagat that submerged Metro Manila. The century-old shattering earthquake that rocked Visayas. The devastation that the strongest typhoon of the year - Haiyan (Yolanda) brought. Countless lives have been spent, countless more still striving to live normally after the catastrophe.
Along with these natural disasters are the man-made scandals that brought as much damage to our nation. The biggest would have to be the Pork Barrel scandal, where billions of the tax payer's money are laundered by these senators, congressman - filthy politicians.
Let's now put the negatives for a moment and let me reminisce on what good transpired during 2013!
January.
Celebrated with family as per usual tradition. Watching fireworks and media noche afterwards.
Went to Manila Ocean Park with Cecil and Mae.
February.
Loveless, what's new. So Valentine's day was spent with officemates and former officemates who visited Manila.
My first ever rappelling over a waterfall (with Marianne).
My first ever solo trip of the year. I went to the balloon festival and saw these giant hot-air balloon spectacle! It is a really good sight to experience.
March.
My first ever at Moviestar cafe. It is nice place for kids at heart like me :D Thank you Rosmarie for the invite. When you are at this stage in your life, moments like this with your former classmates gets rarer and rarer.
