MY 2013 Vision Board in Review. - NOT BAD BRIDGE, PAT ON THE BACK, NOT BAD!!!

FASHIONISTA - CHECK!

Colored my hair, conscious of my fashion choices but needs improvement.

CONFIDENCE - CHECK!

I was able to present my concept and it got approved!

FINANCIAL FREEDOM-  CHECK!

I made the change in March when I moved out of my rented apartment into our family home since the renovation was finished. Since then I was able to save and celebrate using my own money. I thank God for this opportunity.

I was able to buy a new phone, finance a family vacay in Palawan, celebrate birthday with family and relatives, buy a few things for the home and a lot of many different things!

SAVINGS - CHECK!

Yes! some may call this barya, but technically I saved something for next year! it's a start of fattening that bank account bitch!

POISE -CHECK!

Yes! No more of that sweaty girl drama everytime.

LUCKY - CHECK!

I was able to get my concept approved and I had two shows aired! luck is on my side! I still need you in 2014!

POPULAR - GETTING THERE!

There are more "popular" people in my circle especially at work, but I am getting there. I just need a few smiles here and there!

POWERFUL - GETTING THERE!

I realized, what is power anyway? But yes, I've had that in 2013!

TRAVEL WITH S.O. - NOPE! BUT WILL GET THERE!

Nuff said! Since I have no S.O. this is undoable.

FAITH, FAMILY AND FRIENDS - CHECK!

Maintained my faith, and family connections and friends. Unfortunately I need to let go of people who just contacts you when they need something or worse, when they have to BORROW MONEY FROM YOU! Loser!

2014 is an extended 2.14 or Valentine's Year! is that possible:?

First off, I miss Daffodil, my Macbook Pro. It's in the repair shop as it badly needed to be repaired so I'm typing this on our desktop.

I'm excited for 2014! Especially in the romantic life aspect. Three guys have personally PMed me and chatted me up both in Christmas and New Year. Haha.Like, does that count. Well one guy wanted to go to gym with me, and jog and we've set a date, so that's a plus.

But before that, here are my milestones in 2013:

Career is good. Wrote for two shows this year. Hoping to write more. CHECK!

My contract is renewed, but for one year. Still it's a blessing. CHECK!

No car yet. But bought a new phone. And fixed the house. IMPROVE!

Colored my hair! CHECK

Let go of my photobooth business, it doesn't do me any good na. So that means I need to let go.

Got addicted to jogging, dieting and baking! LOVE!

Lost 30 lbs but gained 10 lbs back, BUT WHAT MATTERS IS IM LIGHTER THIS YEAR THAN LAST YEAR! have to keep at it! CHECK!

Got PROMOTED to HEADWRITER. but the show isn't airing yet. IMPROVE!

Debt free compared to last year plus I saved something in my bank account, but it's what you call BARYA. IMPROVE!

Cyberdated someone, and he seems nice. Let go of my past addiction. Had a new crush! IMPROVE!

Writing learnings: calibrating contrabidas, write from the character's core, campy hiritan, short and sweet scenes, one liners.




MOVING ON TO 2014


My mantra for the year: Don't care too much. I'm like this, don't care. I'm a big girl, don't care!

I've come to arrive with this mantra because 2013 got me walking on eggshells a lot. Segue to lessons I learned in 2013.

One, I was always so tentative. Maybe because of my insecurities. My weight and the way people view me, as someone "masa". I accept the former, but the latter, of course not! Excuse me. I am always someone in between. This 2014, I'm just going to be who I am, without labels!

Lesson number 2, is to be frugal. I haven't saved a dime! This 2014, Fatten that bank account bitch!

 Lesson number 3. Never go to Buffets when on a diet. Buffets widen up your already tight stomach,  ALWAYS. I was on a diet MAY to JUNE and then I went to buffet in July and everything else went downhill from there!!!

Lesson number 4. Always TRY to write whatever crap you can come up.in the morning around 7 am. You can roughly finish at around 10pm, and still have time to revise it until you submit at around 1 am - beating the deadline bitch!

Lesson number 5. Stop being THE REBEL and be the POPULAR kid. It will take you places. Even if it's not in my nature or even if I grew tired of socializing or making bola.

Lesson number 6. Learn to let go of people who are not worthy of your time and attention. And those people who will not help you grow. Let go of users- those who only call or reach out to you because they need something. I can smell that from a mile away. Allergens.
