It's 2013 and Changes are Abound!

SOOOO long since my last update and this is also a very very late welcome to the new year because we're already halfway through the month but never late than never no?

Can I just say that my first half of January was already amazing? I just really wish this would go on until the end of the year because I have not felt like this for the past....4 years? Right now, I'm really grateful and blessed and happy :) Why you ask? Well....

1. I have finally designed some pretty awesome websites (by design I mean edited existing templates) so I'm learning and designing on my own pace. I'm now considering taking an online course on wordpress because, well why not? I want to learn how to use wordpress as an online shopping site.
2. Booked a flight to Hong Kong (again? why yes) for September 2013. First time Polele won't be able to come for this and it makes me sad :(
3. MY FRIEND GAVE BIRTH TO A VERY VERY HEALTHY BABY GIRL. Her name is Candace Franceska nicknamed "Kandeh" by us because we refuse to call her Cheska. Just no. We'd all rather call her Kandeh.
4. While everybody (at least half of my Facebook and Instagram friends) was partying up at the Sinulog festival, my cousins (and plus ones!) and I have conquered Pinatubo yesterday and I'm now suffering the second worst body pain in my life (first being the free trial at Crossfit. Damn you squats!)!!! But W H O A all that pain is worth it. I may not try hiking ever again but of course I'll probably change my mind because I'm fickle and I'm almost always undecided on many things.

I am not claiming that 2013 will be my year and I'm not really looking forward to this year; what I'll try to do is concentrate on the now. The greatest advantage about this is that I get to clear my head and get to focus on things one day at a time. Aaaaand right now, I want to focus on this blog. I had a talk with myself recently (LOL what?) and we both agreed that there HAS to be something that will keep this blog afloat...

Last year, I realized that I have watched more movies in the theater than any other year. If I had an expense tracker on my phone it would all point to movie tickets and popcorns and I'm quite disappointed that I didn't keep a list of it. So, while I wanted Spaced Out Days to be a travel blog of sorts, I will switch it up and I'll focus more on the the movies I will watch this year! Besides keeping track, I just really want to avoid all "that movie was only shown this year" thoughts (believe me I had A LOT of those moments). More details on a separate post.

Also! Another thing that I'll be doing is related to my web design portfolio. I'm not going to give away any details yet because I believe in the whole jinx thing so you'll just have to wait and see~

How was your first half of January? Let me know and let's share the good vibes to all!! (but if you're already having the worst first half then I hug you!)
