Randomness in New Year–An Optimistic 2013 to all!

Happy New Year!

Let me open this post by sharing with you some sweet new year greetings from two awesome blogger friends.  A sweet greet from Arline of the Pink Line which she sent me trough twitter. This is the second sweet greet she sent me. The other one is during my blog anniversary which of course will be acknowledged on a separate post.

Pink Line

And from JONDMUR for this awesome greet!


Thank you also to all my blogger friends for the year round support to this humble blog.  You know who you are.  Space won’t be enough if I will mention one by one what you have done to this humble blog.  As I’ve always said, you made my holidays here in the blogosphere more colorful and fun. And of course THANK YOU to all my followers, readers and regular visitors.

So what’s up everybody with y’all now that 2013 came in? As for me, I will not bore you with look back/recap post for the year that was in 2012 – I already did that during my anniversary last November.  Nor will I give you a more boring list of my 2013 goals or resolutions.  Ah uh I won’t do that.  But I have plans and goals of course for 2013.  Let me just surprise you from time to time as I hit those goals because I will definitely be sharing them here as well as my would-be frustrations (hope there would be less if none).

The year 2012 to me has not been perfect.  It has lots of ups and downs and sadly, the “downs” slightly conquered the upper side of the seesaw.  But it’s okay.  As I always do, I learn from the past year’s heartaches and move on.  SO the best thing for me to do is to say THANK YOU to everyone who has been a part of my year that was. May you have been the cause of my success and failures, happy and bad memories.  I thank God for the given wisdom in facing life's adversities and the courage and strength in letting go of  the hatred and pains.  Sometimes holding on to things can be crippling, eventually you must learn to let go so you can breath again. Because all there is to do everyday is to get better and to make yourself better – that’s all that matters, that’s all that’s it.  For whatever with the past the best is yet to come.

Yesterday was 2012 and today is the start of another 365-day journey around the sun.  Let’s enjoy the trip!

Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children

“this place will break your heart, will make you cry, will make you want to reach out, and will make you feel grateful & thankful, all at the same time…”   They are located at: 1030 Tayuman Street, Tondo, Manila. Their telephone number is (+632) 255-0832 and the contact person is Sister Anselm. I wrote that caption in this same season last year, my first time to visit a place called “Missionaries of Charity Home of Joy for the Sick Children”.  I was with a  group of friends along with our respective families.  I could never be thankful enough to our friend Rupert and his family for leading us to this place.  It was not my first time to do a charity visit to an orphanage and I sort of wonder why we were “brief” that this is for special children.  I only realized what that briefing is about when I see for myself how “special” these children are.  I apologize if this may not sound good to some, but the sight of the sick children is heartbreaking.  I tried to look tough and not to

Go Kart at SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex

I’m doing my usual morning run at the SM Mall of Asia bay side when I spotted this area.  It kind of caught me by surprise seeing this area as colorful and lively because I remember during my last run, this area is used to be surrounded with iron sheets coverings, the same thing when there’s something being constructed inside the coverings.  And then I remembered that I had a short break from my morning run.  It seems like this activity is launched while I was on short break from my morning run.   As usual, every time I see something new that looks exciting, I am excited to share the info to you all.  So for those who are into cars and driving, this one’s for you! “Go Kart” ! It is located along the breakwaters of Manila Bay at the SM Mall of Asia Amusement Complex just right after the The Giant Ferris Wheel/The MOA Eye .  Locational Photo The fee and basic rules Fun and Safety Rules are properly posted in the area but to give you some advance info on what to wear
