This year is like a ticking time bomb because it felt like I need to live a fast paced life. It's not a negative thing though, it's just that a lot has happened that if I won't keep up, it felt like I will be left behind. It trained me to always be on the go. Well, if you do know me personally, this 2016, I am the person who can't be at home even just for a day. Even on my rest days, I am out and about. And it's actually fun because I've experienced a lot of first times and a lot of happy adventures. I met a lot of people, I ate my heart out, and somehow, I've managed to take care of my career. I cannot list all the things I am thankful for this 2016 because it would be a long boring post already.. rather, I just want to run through all the stuff that made my 2016 extra special. :) So here you go..\u003ca name\u003d'more'\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n1.

First time hiking and climbing mountains. It was a ~fuuuuuuun~ experience. Though the mountains I climbed are still for beginners, I am still happy because I got to see the world in a different perspective. But if you would ask me between the beach and the mountains, my heart still belongs to beach. Nothing can make my heart feel warmer than the beach. This coming year, I'll try to hike more mountains. I have an anxiety with meeting new people so maybe, it will add to the challenge, but if it's for myself, I am up for it.

A lot of first times in travelling. Like a lot of first times seeing new places! Local and international! All of which are documented on my blog. I've been to a lot of places this year but it felt like it's not enough! Feeding your wanderlust is definitely hard but at the same time worth it. All of it. All of the money that was supposed to be for that cup of coffee, all of the money that was supposed to be for buying new clothes.. it's all worth it because it became memories and experiences. I don't think I'll have it any other way. I might not bought a lot of materials stuff for myself but I am grateful for all the experiences and memories. It makes me the person I am now. It made me learn a lot of stuff about the locals. Plus, I love how I am sharpening my geography knowledge! Planning itineraries has made it possible. LOL!

To more travels, to more friendship, and to living a positive life. 2016 is great but this is me hoping that 2017 will bring me more happiness in life. I don't know what 2017 will be like, what I do know is that we have the courage we got through 2016. We can never be prepared enough but this is us, starting and trying to make life better. :)\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003cdiv class\u003d\"separator\" style\u003d\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EK9dXVlhGIg/WGcqG7Jp7JI/AAAAAAAAGNo/9VHDbpT9ehQAYgAurx-WXFF6QO3eZFIRACLcB/s1600/happy%2Bnew%2Byear%2521.jpg\" imageanchor\u003d\"1\" style\u003d\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"\u003e\u003cimg border\u003d\"0\" height\u003d\"640\" src\u003d\"https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EK9dXVlhGIg/WGcqG7Jp7JI/AAAAAAAAGNo/9VHDbpT9ehQAYgAurx-WXFF6QO3eZFIRACLcB/s640/happy%2Bnew%2Byear%2521.jpg\" width\u003d\"640\" /\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/center\u003e\n\u003ccenter style\u003d\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\nHappy new year everyone!
