12/31/2017 0 Comments Thank you, 2017.Thank you for a herky-jerky journey, 2017. I'd like to remember you more as a year of change and growth than a year of pain. You have made my world turn outside down and inside out. I may have lost something good but I also have found loads of better and greater things along the way. I may have associated myself with treacherous people who just took advantage of my strengths and weaknesses , but I also have found my way back to the real ones who were always there from the start. I may have suffered major repercussions of bad, awful choices and decisions from the previous year, but I also have learned valuable lessons and wisdom through it all. I may have missed out on the wondrous world outside for the first few months of 2017, but I also have found my way to the best places and had great adventures for the rest of the year. I may have felt the lowest and the worst, but I have found my realest self and have regained the lost fragments of my old, passionate self. I may have lost almost everything, but the rest of 2017 made me take control of my life once again and sort out things for the better. To all those who have helped me to self-healing and recovery, I couldn't thank you enough. To all those who never left my side even when I don't have anything left in me, thank you for staying. To all those new people in my life right now and to those who helped me live a new life, you have no idea how thankful I am to have met you. And most of all, to God who was there when I had no one. Thank you God for the blessing of a new beginning. May you continue to bless me and my family this 2018. Here's a run-through of my 2017 in photos.
April 2017 - Just after the school's graduation rites, I went to a secret out-of-town getaway. It was in Bantayan and I was with a friend and his whole workmates. I did that just so I could breath fresh air and escape everything I was facing back then. It helped actually. I was able to tell someone what I've been going through and even got some good advice. I had the chance to meet new people and talking to some of them gave me hope and a new perspective in life. I was able to reflect on a lot of things and was able to realize what I should do next.

12/1/2017 0 Comments KM Wonders: Best of KM 2017PART 1: Halloween Photo ContestI remembered during my job interview, Rene and Choy mentioned the two anticipated major events in the company - Halloween and Christmas Party. Something I really looked forward to since the first day they hired me. A few days ago, I was fooling around with Conie about how there's nothing Halloween-related stuff in the office. There were no creepy decors around the lobby, and nobody seemed to be wearing any Halloween-related costumes. I thought, maybe - just maybe, people are just not that into this thing anymore. Maybe everyone's just busy. Not until a moment later, we received an email about MedSpec Freaky Frightday Photo Contest 2017. Karen initiated a meeting and met with the rest of the KM members to plan the said photo contest. I don't have any plans to join. I always knew I'd do better behind the cameras and help with the preparation. But, I guess that's not how things would go for me this year. Apparently, as a newbie, I have no choice but to be one of our team's representatives. It was more exciting than scary because my squad also joined. It was a good avenue for everyone in the team to contribute their expertise to this project. Jennica, Ella, and Benj worked together to experiment with our faces and made us look scary-ish. Choy, Shin, RM, Jadhz, and the other producers/designers (even Rapi) helped with the pictorial to get the perfect shot since no editing is allowed. Karen and the rest of the members made our costumes, and everyone was all out in their support.
PART 2: Christmas Party: Mask and Mysteries PresentationWe definitely ended the year right with the back-to-back winning streak of KM. After the Halloween event, KM won again during the company-wide Christmas Party - Dance contest.
