Since its holidays I think my blog and I have this sort of understanding that I should take a break from writing a post. But now I think I can’t let 2012 end without me writing a post about it.
First of all, I am so thankful for this year. A lot of things happened in my personal life, a lot of realizations and a lot of activities brought about by being a member of the
Davao Bloggers. Davao Bloggers opened a lot of opportunities for me. Events and happenings that I could have never attended if it weren’t for DB. I’ve met a lot of people and acquaintances. I’ve read a lot of blogs and attended seminars that has taught me quite about this and that. Indeed, it was a great year to finally do something out of the ordinary. Thank you Davao Bloggers! And with that, let me just post pictures to recap the activities I had because of DB. Here are the pictures in no particular order.

And of course, my love for travel made this year my most traveled one. Well, I started travelling last year so compared to that, I sure did traveled a lot more during this year. Haha Kagulo! I think this is something that every traveler wants to do, to travel alone, and by alone, I mean really alone, literally. And I’m so looking forward to doing that. Okay, so here are the pictures. 🙂

Personal Life. One of the things that I am truly proud of was being able to graduate from a cooking class course. It was not like I’m into cooking but after that course, I learned a lot and it would be a shame to not apply it in real life. So every now and then I cook, hence my
cooking post. And if one day I’ll have all the means, material and the ingredients to do so, I would gladly experiment and cook and cook everyday. charmus! Hehe And of course, it was last year when I started documenting my new restaurants discoveries and I’m thankful that the list got longer this year. 🙂

Realizations, I believe we all have that moment when suddenly we realize a lot of things and it comes surging like a wind. You know, about life, career, relationships and what not. This year, I finally succumbed to the idea that not all I thought was my friends are my friends really, (in the truest sense of the word). Maybe we did sometime ago but it was all gone now, or it was just me that gave up or changed, (maybe the latter). However, though I have that kind of feeling, I still wish them well. We didn’t separate ways, they are still in my life and I’m still glad that they are around.
Maybe I changed, but I believe that change made me realize who the real and true ones are. That no matter what happened they are still there for you, no judgment, and no explanations. And yeah you know who you are, so just that. Thank you 2012 and here’s to hoping for a more wonderful and successful year ahead!
Wow! Seems you really had a great 2012. Lots of experiences and great travels! Visit Boracay this year, we havecheap boracay beach resort hotel for you! More power to you! And wishing you a wonderful and successful year ahead.
What a wonderful you have had, lots of great events and special occasions!
how awesome to be part of the group…lots of activities and escapades…now, I wish I'm in the Philippines! we don't have that kind of opportunity here.
What a fun and memorable 2012 you have Sis 🙂 Glad you met many bloggers from your place and meet some celebrities too. Looks like you had a blast and wonderful time to remember the year 2012.
You seem to have a very fulfilling 2012 based on the photos you've shared. I hope it continues onwards to 2013…

Amazing year indeed. It's truly an extraordinary experience when you do it with people having same passion.
Year 2012 was over but the memories are cherished through these captures you have here… just looking at these photos, fun and excitement are obviously overwhelming.
2012 was a joyful and productive year for you. Just my thought, why is it that people always remember the good thing in life? Is the bad experiences not worth mentioning. As they say, we learned from our mistakes.
Really fun-filled year for you Quimz, packed with plenty of activities. I'm sure this year will be as colorful, or maybe event better, who knows…

I believe that we learned from our mistakes, that's why I stated something about friendship on the latter part Papaleng because I did have a not-so good experience about it— but I was able to learned from it. The learnings and realizations are worth mentioning but I think stating every detail of the bad experience is not worth it. 🙂
I enjoyed reading from top to bottom and looking at your happy photos! this makes me wish I lived in Davao so I could join blogging events, no such things on my side of the country yet 🙁 …you are blessed with friends, true ones who will be there through your ups and downs, the quantity of true friends does not matter yeah but the sincerity of each friend..love your smiles in the photos…stay sweet and lovely 🙂
Wow! What an amazing year that was for you! 🙂 I really enjoyed every single pics above! ♥
I'm a new follower of this blog po! 🙂
