Why do i have to want it for tomorrow?

Last night, when my dad and my auntie were talking on the way to dinner, my dad was saying that maybe in his next life he'll get to have a ferrari. And I was at the back seat being my cynical self thinking, damn do I still have a next life? Coz I think this life is enough. Don't we have a saying that we only live once? I like it better that way. I like the idea of not waiting for tomorrow or another life to get your luck at something and have your dreams come true. I'm not being a hypocrite here. I know I can be a lazy bug and live like a pig who eats and sleeps during vacation just to recover from the stressful 6 day work week that I have but I promise myself that 2012 will be different! This is my year! And I am not wasting time and waiting for my next life to change my stars.

So... by 2013 I will look back at my list and be ready to come up with another dream coz the ones I have for this year have come true.

WORK

I need to grow. Being 25 feels that I should be striving for the security of my future and to ensure that I can afford my lifestyle without depending on anyone. It is also having a workplace that I feel is supportive of my tomorrow and continuously engages me as an employee while providing me with the compensation and benefits that I deserve for the amount of work that I do. Most importantly is having the work-life balance and that means having enough time not only for work but for myself and relationships as well.

It is a time to have a change not only in perspective but also in my environment.  

HEALTH AND FITNESS

3 Words... 4 PACK ABS!!!

Yup... I won't have to breathe in... breathe out.... stomach in... side view.... because BAM!!! 1... 2..... 3.... 4.... Here I go.. Game face on!

WANTED: GYM BUDDY!!!

Sorry friends but I'll be bugging all of you to box, do yoga, gym, and run with me!=)

LEARN SOMETHING NEW


Whether it's chinese, writing backwards or singing, It's time to use a bigger part of my brain. I'm not getting any younger so here we go!!

NI HAO!!!!

oot sdrawkcab daer nac I

The singing... I'll save that up for my next blog.

TRAVEL

Last year's stops were..

There's nothing more exciting than being spontaneous. Feet please take me to beautiful places I haven't seen before and heart please bring me to a land of happiness and love.

RELATIONSHIP

I had my New Year countdown with Soju's family and we lit lanterns instead of fireworks. I loved it. It was more intimate and everyone got to make their wishes while looking at their lanterns flying towards the heavens. I hope God got my lantern and listened to my wish.

I don't need a ferrari. All I want are my simple wishes. So who says I have to wait another lifetime to get what I want? 2012 here I go.

Breaking My Promise

I made a promise with my fingers and toes crossed that when I do make a blog I wouldn't write about SM Radisson Blue Hotel but sorry couldn't help it. (bwahahaha evil laugh) but I will try to be very objective.


I came to Cebu for my 3rd anniversary trip and since my boyfriend had a meeting in Radisson, I went straight there instead before we go to our real destination. I didn't really expect much from the hotel thinking that SM was the developer and we all know that SM is not known for their high end places.

The outside view of the hotel. It looks kinda old considering that it's not even a year old.

The lobby's not bad but they can do better because it looks a little empty. Maybe some really nice flower arrangement in the middle could do the trick or how about a nice little bakeshop on the side?

I like the stairs though. It looks neat.

The bed with my "Happy Anniversary" Cupcakes and poppers. Soju surprised me when I went out the bathroom.

They actually did a good job in the interior of the room. It looks high end and love the lighting. The whole bed with the pillows are cozy and comfortable and I'm really particular about that. So good job!

Trying to be as objective as I can.. This is the view from the window....

Soju had enough of my comments so we went down to get our complimentary breakfast. I wasn't able to take pictures though but breakfast was good. They had sausages, omelette, croissants, and some really delicious choices! One comment about the salmon though, I just took one bite and couldn't finish the rest because it wasn't fresh.

So there's my 4 hour trip in SM Radisson Blu Cebu. I rate it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

Going to our final destination for our anniversary trip....

With Complimentary drinks upon check in. Cheers!

Conclusion: Radisson Blu wasn't bad but there's still no beating Shangrila Mactan!!!! Thank you Shangrila for making our anniversary super unforgettable!
