Isipin nyo na lang December 31 pa lang kaya ngayon lang yearend essay ko :)))
Di ko pa rin naman nauumpisahan new year’s resolution ko so iadjust na lang natin ang mga kalendaryo. Bukas talaga, magbabagong buhay na ko! Magsisipag na ko mag-edit 🤡

December 2024 — nagresign ako sa trabaho ko bilang engineer. Reason ko? Ayoko na gumising sa alarm. Pagod na ko mastuck sa traffic. Gusto ko magtravel nang walang limit ang leaves. Magfreelance na lang kako ako para pwede ako gumala nang gumala. Work-from-anywhere kumbaga.
2025 — unang buong taon na di na ko engineer. Di raw ba ako nanghihinayang kasi sayang naman pinag-aralan ko? Honestly, yes, minsan naiisip ko, tama ba tong desisyon ko? Nakakaanxious din. Pero work-from-anywhere — eto talaga ang gusto ko. Dito ako masaya. This year, I’ve seen so many places and experienced many things na di ko magagawa if nasa corpo pa ako. I also got married to the love of my life! Forever travel buddy na rin since work-from-anywhere kami pareho. We had a Catholic elopement wedding with our US client as our witness/ninong, renewed our vows in front of our family and friends, moved to our first apartment as a couple, processed our first home loan, got our second car, travelled to six countries, and so much more. Di na lang namin masyado iniisip yung negative like lending our wedding money to a friend only to not be paid in the end, and being scammed by a wedding supplier. Honestly, the good things outweigh the bad, and for that, we are extremely grateful and hopeful. Truly, God is in charge, even when I’m drowning in anxiety.
So excited for what’s in store for us this 2026! (Sana more travels. Hihi.)
