New Year, New Goals

 

"2025: A Year of Growth, Balance, and Achieving My Goals"

         As 2025 begins, I want to focus more on my studies. I’ve had fun and enjoyed life, but now I need to take my education more seriously. I’m ready to challenge myself and stay on top of my work this year. At the same time, I want to make sure I still find time to relax and enjoy myself. It’s all about keeping that balance between hard work and fun.

         This year, I’m also determined to buy the things I’ve always wanted. But instead of just buying them on a whim, I want to earn them. I believe working hard to get what I want will make it even more rewarding. I’m excited about the idea of earning those things and making my goals a reality. It will feel great to achieve them through my own effort.

         Taking care of my mental health is also a top priority. I want to feel truly happy and at peace with myself. I know that by focusing on my well-being and learning how to relax, I can be more content. Stress can easily take over, but I want to let go of that and embrace a positive mindset. Creating a calm mental space will help me handle challenges better.

         Along with my mental health, I want to focus on being healthier physically. I want to feel strong, energized, and take better care of my body. This means exercising regularly, eating healthy, and giving my body the attention it needs. I know that if I do this, I’ll feel better overall and have more energy. Staying healthy will help me feel more confident and ready for anything.

         Finally, I want to do better in school this year. I’m aiming for good grades and pushing myself to improve. It’s not just about being perfect, but about working hard and doing my best. I know that if I stay focused and put in the effort, I can achieve my academic goals. This year is all about setting high expectations for myself and striving to meet them.

A Christmas Filled with Love and Laughter

 

"Celebrating the Holidays with Family, Fun, and Fond Memories"

          Our Christmas vacation was filled with nothing but happiness. My grandfather flew in from Davao City to Vigan just to spend the holidays with us. The start of the Christmas break wasn’t exactly exciting at first, as I didn’t book a flight to go anywhere, unlike others who were traveling. But then I thought, why not spend this time with my family? So that’s what we did. On December 20th, we traveled to Ilocos Norte for some shopping and just to have fun together.

         On Christmas Eve, December 24th, we woke up early to prepare a delicious spread, including macaroni and other tasty dishes. In the afternoon, we headed to San Vicente to celebrate with my dad’s side of the family. There were so many fun games with prizes, and the whole place was filled with smiles and laughter. It was a blast seeing everyone so happy and enjoying the moment. Christmas Day arrived, and we had a wonderful breakfast before heading out to take some pictures around the city. In the afternoon, we visited San Juan to celebrate with my mom’s side, where they had prepared the main course: lechon. It was absolutely delicious!

         I was lucky to receive gifts from my friends and family, but honestly, as much as I appreciated the presents, having them by my side was the best part of it all. It really hit different. I truly hope Christmas always feels this happy and full of love.
