Hey, 2016. It was 80% superbad™ for most of us but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be grateful for in the 366 days we spent together. Let’s get to business and have a rundown of the best of the year.

Trips to Baler and Hong Kong (Disneyland, what’s good?). Reunions with high school and college friends. A year of awesome at a fantastic company heralded by brilliant colleagues. Seeing my sports teams triumph and end their seasons with championships after all the years of heartbreak and disappointment. Blessings received, challenges conquered at every turn. New opportunities embraced and lessons learned. The unconditional love and support from my family, friends and colleagues. Safe to say, these moments and people are why 2016 has turned out to be an unforgettable year and I couldn’t be any more grateful.

2017, please be awesomer. Cheers to all and have a blessed new year ahead!🥂🎉

Sending you all our love and grace on the most wonderful day of the year. Happy holidays from our family to yours xo! 😘❤️ (at VivoCity)

Chili rice was straight fuego I cried buckets with every bite I made. Reminded me of our food trips during Bangkok ‘15. #vscocam #food (at Bangkok Jam at Marina Square)

A much-needed buffet to kickoff a stress-free holiday 😅 (at Buffet Town International Buffet Restaurant)

A Checklist of the Stuff I Need to Do This Holiday Break (aka How to Get My Life Together)

…and it goes like this:

Write new stuff (read: keep this blog alive by sharing all my holiday shenanigans, five-minute rants on why 2016 was the oddest year in the history of mankind as well as pop culture, sports, the Great Beyond Outside of the WWW, or whatever taps my brain)

Binge-watch movies and TV shows because of course I need to keep up with your recaps and convos and I need some inspo in my life

Clean up and upgrade my laptop to macOS Sierra because it needs a day at the techie salon, no questions asked

Travel, travel, Insta, tweet, travel, travel, gobble, sleep, travel, travel - and the cycle goes to infinity and beyond (hello Buzz Lightyear, how ya doin’)

Workout while I have time and am less than a kilometer away from a nearby gym

Catch up with the ‘rents! <3

WATCH MORE HOCKEY GAMES, ESPECIALLY THE PENGUINS AKA THE TEAM THAT GIVES ME SO MUCH JOY AND PAIN EVERY SINGLE DAY. (Haven’t caught up much with games lately because of work, #adulting and livestream issues; but don’t worry the Pens are fine and I have Twitter x Tumblr x Reddit to fall back on whenever there’s a need to keep up with the hockey world)

read. Read. READ.

Shop ‘til you drop because it’s the holidays and I need to restock my closet

Buy Christmas gifts because why not?

Last but not the least, thank 2016 for everything and plan ahead for 2017.

Okay that’s all!
