Girls Talk | Something New

Welcome me back here at Girls Talk. I sure love this meme, but for some reason, I'm always late (like this week). However, the topics for this month are all wonderful, I sure will join this month and complete all weeks of December.

Mt. Pinatubo Crater

Front View, Month 1 October 2011 December 2011

This week, it's about something new that I've tried this year. Well, trying to lose weight has been something I always attempt to do, but this year has been my strongest. Before, I would only go as far as one month then get lazy until I forget about it and gain more weight. This year, not only was I able to go for more than one month, I still am as motivated and enthusiastic as ever. In a span of two months, I lost 19lbs already, and just 8 more pounds, I'd hit my partial goal weight. It sure feels great to wear some pieces of clothing that used to be something small before.

Other new things I did this year:
  • Trek to the crater of Mt. Pinatubo.
  • Try the Edge Coaster and Sky Walk at the Crown Regency Hotel in Cebu City.
  • Walked under the sea.
  • Fly solo.
  • Be on the same flight with mom.
  • Visit ten churches in one day.
  • Cut down my rice intake from 1 cup to 3/4 cup to 2/3 cup and now to 1/2 cup.
  • Attend more than 20 blog events this year, as well as receiving invitations direct from companies / PR team to try their products and services.
  • Cross a hanging bridge.
  • See a magnificent falls in San Gabriel, La Union. It was also my first time to set foot in that town even if I am always traveling in La Union.
  • See dolphins in the "wild."

I am sure there were still so many new things I tried / did this year, but these were the ones I can think of at this moment.

2011 is still not over, but I am thankful for this year. Sure, there were moments that slipped of my fingers, there were opportunities I wasn't able to grab, but overall, this has been a great year.



ps - I don't know why I always put my hands on my sides whenever my picture is taken. I sure need to find a pose I could try. Hahaha.
