What To Do This 2013?

This pretty much sums up most of what I want to do this 2013. :D What about you?

Today, I was bombarded with bad news and disappointments. And making this made me feel a whole lot better. Some travel plans were canceled today and I think you guys know how it feels whenever one of your anticipated trips gets canceled. Not the best feeling at all. I had a great start to my year and then BOOM! It felt like I was just given a taste of something good and then headed straight into a pit. :(

But it also made me think, I still have 356 days to do what my heart desires and I can start again on paving ways to achieving my travel and non-travel goals. I might be behind my schedule a little but things happen for a reason and I will continue to believe that better things will come.

I think a few more will be added to my 2013 goals, but for now, the list above pretty much covers most of what I want to achieve this year. But on the top of my list, all I want is for 2013 to be happy and fun and as adventurous as the past 3 years. I want to continue to explore, discover, shoot and fall in love with a place, a food or an experience.

Hey, I guess I need to stop worrying to much. I can begin on that tomorrow.

This is my entry for Pinoy Travel Bloggers' Blog Carnival for the month of January 2013 with the theme 'New Beginnings' hosted by Roj Braga of The Adventures of Anventuroj.

A Great Start to a Year!

Okay, I have to admit that receiving invitations to do stuff in your email is pretty rad.

Anyway, I would like to greet you guys first with a very Happy New Year! How's your first week of 2013 going? Mine's going good and I hope yours is going great too. :D

My first 2013 weekend was graced with a little staycation, not extravagant or what but it was a nice way to recharge my self to be ready to embrace the awesomeness that 2013 is going to bring. And it was a great bonding time with D too. *say cheeeeze, lol* We pigged out (our favorite thing to do) at RUB Ribs in Kapitolyo, marathoned History Channel shows, shoot light trails in Edsa, eat our favorite Chicken Katsu Curry from Yabu and capped it off with a great massage from NuLiving Spa Studio!

I wasn't able to experience a real Christmas Holiday vacation. Yes, the only days I didn't go to work was during the 25th and the 1st (it sucks, but hey, travel funds baby!) so getting a little pampering and especially a massage will do its wonders on an overworked mind and body.

NuLiving just opened last December 2012 and they are a great addition to the roster of spas and massage places around D. Tuazon area. I haven't really tried the surrounding spas but I can say that you can't go wrong with NuLiving Spa Studio.

We Survived Another Apocalypse!! Witty Will Save the World's 2013 "_____" Diary/Planner Giveaway

So, how was your post-apocalypse experience? Did you do some doomsday preppers?

Well, I'm just pretty relieved nothing happened on the 21st and I'm happy that it's all over for now (when will be the next apocalypse prediction, I wonder). We will be welcoming Christmas tomorrow and I have awesome gifts to giveaway from our friends at Witty Will Save the World! They are my favoritest planner makers ever! I have their "I-was-supposed-to-get-that-coffeehouse-planner-but-I-got-fat-and-broke-on-the-10th-frappe" and "Relaks, Puso Lang Yan, Malayo sa Bituka" planners and their "Akala Mo Lang Wala Nang Slumbook pero Meron Meron Meron" slumbook (I have the red one)! 

My annual perfect-planner-for-me search was over when I laid my eyes on the "______" The _________ Story Book 2013 diary slash planner. I got really excited for it since they never failed to make me happy with their planners! You can also check out my When In Manila feature for WWSTW here.

And because Santa is very generous this year and we survived another apocalypse, I am giving away four (4) 2013 "_____" Diary/Planner and five (5) "Akala Mo Lang Wala Nang Slumbook pero Meron Meron Meron" Tanso Edition slumbook!

Will you be one of the lucky winners of this supercalifragilisticexpialidocious planner?

Important Reminder: Since I cannot shoulder shipping of the planners/slumbooks yet (boohoo, the Christmas season left me bankrupt), if ever you win, you should be willing to pick up your prize from me. Where you ask? You can get it from me at my work office during weekdays in McKinley Hill, Fort Bonifacio Taguig from 3PM onwards. If you're not from the Metro, but willing to shoulder shipping fees, you are very much welcome to join the giveaway! :)

Alright, let's do this!!

No worries because you can join both the slumbook and and planner giveaway. :D 

Giveaway ends on January 2, 2013 12:00AM. The winners will be announced the following day.

Best of luck and hope y'all have an awesome Christmas and New Year!!
