Agenda 2013

2012 was great. It left me with a truckload of sweet memories and taught me a lot of valuable lessons. This year is going to be much more fabulous!

Here's a list of the things I intend to do and achieve this year, my Agenda 2013:

My travel calendar is already full, but that doesn't mean I can't squeeze in a few unplanned adventures.  I'm way too excited for my upcoming solo travels and the scheduled trips with family and friends.   

I've booked a lot of flights for this year. Much thanks to airline seat sales, I am able to: 1) get to know my beloved country, one province at a time; 2) explore the world, one country at a time; and 3) meet wonderful people and new friends.

Aside from the usual work-related training and seminars already lined up, I'd certainly love to learn how to surf and paint.  Learning a new language is also on my list.  Hopefully, I'd also be able to take out a couple of books from my "still unread shelf".

I'd like to overwhelm my five senses, literally and figuratively.  May I always remember to stop so I may be able to see, not just look; listen, not just hear; feel, not just touch; smell, not just sniff; and savor, not just taste.

God's great love is certainly overwhelming and I'd like to share the grace of His infinite love to others.  I intend to spend more time with my loved ones and tell them how much I love them much more frequently.  Apart from my Lakbay Aral Project, I'm also organizing and joining more outreach activities this year.

I was able to cross a lot of pictures off my vision wall in the last three years.  It's time to set more targets!

I'm going to seriously focus on growing my investments. Perhaps it's also time to take that leap of faith!

So I'd always put to mind the advice of Screenwriter Eric Roth, as mouthed by the character played by Brad Pitt in the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button:

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.” 


Sending you happy thoughts...
