thank you 2o1o, you were awesome

I wouldn't say 2o1o is my best year ever yet for nothing. And because I wanted to show 2o11 what it has to beat, here's my 2o1o wrapped up through pictures.

JANUARY

Celebrated our new year with our new angel. You have to see how she has grown in a year.

FEBRUARY

Spent going out with friends and teammates who keeps me sane. I have this tendency to go insane because of work {and a tendency to go exaggerating as well? haha!}.

OCTOBER

Crazeeeee month, as it was physically and emotionally challenging. My tita whom I live with in the same house for all my life was taken away from us just when we were giving all our time and effort to my father who's running for the barangay elections. We may have lost our beloved tita but my father got back the position he truly deserve. {serious ako sa part na 'to. hihi.}

idol ko si kap

On another note, just before the month got crazy, we joined the most ambitious run ever organized {in our country, that is}, the 10.10.10 Run for Pasig River.

my first ever run
"kamoown, you said run! why the hell are we walking?"
