Happy New Year 2020!


Hello =)

I'm in the Philippines now!!! To be exact, I'm in Palawan right now. We're currently on the road from El Nido to Puerto Princessa. This is our 11th day in the Philippines. And, tell you what, it's been better than what I expected (maybe coz ppl have been telling me bad stuffs only b4 I came hahaha).

This year has been...weird..and fast. It's full of ups and down, I had fun and wonderful moments, but also got in troubles sometimes. It's a pretty interesting year really, I don't think I regretted it. I wasted a lot of time yes, but I also gained a lot of friends! Like this ph trip, I'm with 2 new online friends! I never imagined to visit Philippines, even more with online friends!! I did chat less with my usual friends and relatives, but I got to know new people in depth too! So I guess it's not too bad.

Actually yeah it wasn't bad at all! I've never imagined to swim with the fish and see corals, but I did yesterday! And the day b4! I was really really surprised when I looked at the bottom of the ocean and saw corals! I never thought I could see great barrier reef and then there I was, swimming in the middle of El Nido sea, surrounded by the tall majestic rocks, with magnificent corals and fish underneath my feet! I am thoroughly grateful. It's worth all my troubles! The only thing I regretted was that I couldn't take photos of the underwater view, but I saw it! And I'll engrave it in my memory hopefully forever =)

Remember the Chinese fortune prediction my bffs and I usually read? I read it recently to check if my year was correctly predicted, and I came across this line:
"You will attend social activities and chat with internet friends often." Wowwwwww that's so eerily correct! My online social world indeed has been very active this year. I found good and fun friends I clicked with and hope to be friends for many years to come, and I also found annoying and weird people. There was hours of fun chatting, and I also was ignored a lot. But then, i think I'm getting better at being ignored now lol you know I don't like not being replied? I think I handle it slightly better now. Don't want me? Fine, I go find someone else! I also get better on ignoring chats. My FOMO is less too. I think xD

Work is the one I had troubles with lol. I had my demotivated moments. Colleagues I was close with were mostly gone. Somehow I wonder if I'm surviving, or am I actually a frog that is being boiled to death...

Family.. I am definitely lacking there. Hope it gets better next year.

Hope next year will be even more fun and exciting, and not stressing me out! XD

Happy new year 2020 everybody!
