Kelvin’s top 9, because Kelvin differs from the Zarkman. 9. Survived another year at the bank, taking new responsibilities and tasks 8. Drew closer to my goal of a 1000 total. 7. Started playing basketball again after 9 years. 6. Met new people in my whole road to redemption. 5. Got to do motivational speaking, since my end goal is to become a life coach by age 50. 4. Got to interact with the people who influenced me in competitive eating, training and etc. 3. Admired how “the sun rose and set over my horizon” 😉🌹 2. Enrolled and currently surviving grad school as partial requirement of this road to redemption and 1. Whatever the F*** I do, I do it to bring my family honor. . Among the plethora of realizations and experiences I had for the year, the only conclusion I can come up with is this: 2017 you tested me with so many problems but I didn’t back down, you taught me that it’s not always about me and it’s true since what I got myself into involves more people, you tested my emotional endurance and I accepted that and moved forward. Now, I’m ready to let you go, thank you for everything. 2018 I don’t know what’s in store but I am welcoming you with open arms, let’s go the distance once again. . . . . . . . #zarkman #ZRKMN2017 #competitiveeating #eatingchallenges #worldrecordholder #officiallyamazing #competitiveeating #instafood #instagramthatshit #manvsfood #foodie #food #foodstagram #foodchallenges #igfood #igaddict #foodstagram #viral #trending #now #AnteUP2k17 #hypebeast #philippines #zrkmnvstheworld #happynewyear #goodbye2017 #hello2018 (at Metro Manila)
