What a way to end 2017. Never expected an award at the end of this year. Thank you Ma'am Genie for the continued guidance and support and to my partner-in-crime @alraydeguzman. Let's keep it up this coming 2018!

Today was very bittersweet. Finally put an official ending in this chapter of my life. I couldn't have made it to this point if not for the help and support of a lot of people who I met along the way (I hate to admit it but it is the truth) and through the guidance of the Lord (who I lost and found, ironically, in the University). I may have stayed longer in UP than I should due to my mistakes and choices (a lot of them) but I wouldn't be the person that I became if not for those. Now that everything's said and done, I'm excited for tomorrow. Training and Work, see you tomorrow. (at University of the Philippines)
