new year, new poy, old poy...

First off, lemme greet y’all a merry (very) belated Christmas and a prosperous New Year! It’s been months since my last post. Been preoccupied by work demands. But I’m back. Will try to post more often the same way I update my official website. =)

So how was my 2010? Summing it up, it has been a wild rollercoaster ride! Was really down and bruised during the first quarter but I somehow got back and won it all before the year ended. Let’s just say I got what I deserved with extra cherry on top! My year ended with a loud bang to the tune of P-A-L-A-W-A-N! W.O.W. talaga!

Speaking of WOW Philippines, finally pushed through with my plans of travelling alone. 2010 brought me to Cebu and Iloilo…alone! Though encountered some roadblocks, those trips made my 2010 extra special. And I promised myself to extend my trips down south to Mindanao and maybe (if budget permits) up north to Batanes soon! But in the meantime, will be settling with Cebu (again) and Palawan this February, CDO in March, Boracay (still planning) on April or May, and Davao on my birthday! Special thanks to an ex for offering his place in Davao for me to stay. Sana pati tour libre haha.

Family matters. Spent a whole lot more time with my siblings, nieces and nephews last year. The perks of being unattached. My time is split between family and work. No regrets. That’s how I want it in the first place.

Work. Last year was stressful indeed but equally rewarding. Going up the corporate ladder entails added responsibilities and expectations. The only difference now is that I’m up for the challenge. Bring it on!

Relationship. Been single since October 2008. Since then (if I remembered right), I really didn’t entertain dates nor relationships. It was a personal choice since I’d want to focus more on family and work. Besides, I still haven’t met a person who can really wash out the remnants of my feelings for my soulmate. I’ve already accepted that he was the one that got away and his memory will always be etched in my barcode tattoo. Again, no regrets. He was the one. And I fear that he is still.

So what do I expect from 2011. Let’s just say I’d rather face this year with spontaneity to the nth power. Whatever it brings, wherever it brings me, whoever it brings to me, and whenever I’m ready, then I’m up for it. I’d entrust my future to fate. 2010 was all about planning and making sure that I put everything into action. This year, I would relax more, enjoy every minute of it, get to know people, open myself to someone, and maybe (just maybe) commit. Whatever, wherever, whoever, whenever, I’ll be ready.

So cheers to 2010, and a toast for 2011. New year, new poy. New year, old poy!
