As I march to the beat of my own drum @jnlarose - Tumblr Blog

I keep ticking things of my bucketlist ✅ too bad I don’t have decent videos (nagkalat nako nung nagvideo na kami haha!) but it was definitely memorable 💖💖💖 hope to come back before it closes and learn more tricks. Hmu! 😉Thanks for coming with me ates @raequevada @febbalani @chesking 🤗😘 (at Flying Trapeze Philippines) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsiTO-zlscvwgWxpKd6pFPZ3IWr7xb5nga4pRw0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11644c0262so5

I’ve been thinking of a great way to describe 2018. I immediately thought of it as the worst year of my life, but I realized it was actually one of the best. In 2018, I spent the first couple of months burned-out from 2017, but I also survived my first busy season in audit (first full year of working too), started driving alone, said yes to every social invitation, went through a walwal phase (even legit blacked out thrice- Feb, March, and May- where I spent almost one cutoff of my salary on alcohol for my friends lol we called that night “5 years-5 months”), rode the plane 15 times (10 for leisure, 5 for work), planned a ton of travel itineraries, made a lot of new friends, reconnected with old ones, accepted the fact the some are gone for good but also deepened the ones worth keeping, got closer to my family, had mini anxiety attacks but got through them, reached my fitness goals for summer, lost my fitness goals after summer (lol I’ll try to maintain it this time haha), went back to the Feast (and ugly-cried a lot as usual lol), got back to dancing at least twice a week (and tried new genres too- dancehall and sexy hiphop which are both waaaaay out of my comfort zone), doubted myself (got distracted for the most part), but most importantly, this year, I found myself. I used to think that “finding oneself” was just a concept but it helped me learn A LOT. Here are my key takeaways from 2018: 1. It’s okay to make mistakes. No one is perfect, we shouldn’t even strive for it. We have to love and forgive ourselves as much as we would others, and believe we are doing the best we can or else we will never move forward from failures. 2. Pay attention. Understand that everyone is going through something. Sometimes we take things for granted until we realize they are gone forever. Show appreciation even on the smallest things, so we’ll never have to lose those that truly matter to us. 3. People come and go, but we can never survive this life without our family and friends. Not everything is about work and career. Make every effort to keep relationships, but also learn when to let go. Just love— unconditionally, without limit, and without expecting anything in return.

Our high school barkada’s Christmas party would not be complete without our usual pambubully (bakit ang immature pa rin natin), exchange gifts with a twist (lol @ white elephant) and 6 years worth of chika per person on career (omg we’re old), lovelife (girls keep up naman tayo diyan oh hahaha), travels (safe travels back to SG then AUS, Pat), friends, etc. 😂 Thanks for reserving this date for us!

“I was bound, was tired Hadn't seen a light so long Thought I lost my fight Couldn't find my way back home And I felt the light stepping out of me I was bound, and tired Waiting for daylight (Daylight daylight, and I) Bang my head against the wall Though I felt light headed, now I know I will not fall I will rise above it all Found what I was searching for Though I felt light headed I should have failed, and nailed the floor Instead I rose above it all” 💯🔥 My 2018 in a song (and dance)👌🏻 Jazz funk choreography by @gforce_ritz 💕💕😊 (at G-Force Dance Center - Home Of The Celebrity Choreographers) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq6_e3_F7RZ01YgxPs3_LZ0jjorVOPjdZi8E0s0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1meqawraj3e9g
