2011 Revisited

Ok. Let’s get the ball rolling.

I really wanted to start my 2012 blogging life with this post. But a blessing came in really early and who am I decline, right. So this had to wait until now.

I dug my archives for my 2011 goals and what do yah know, I accomplished two out of three (2/3)! Woot woot!

Goal 1: My rebonded hair still looks great despite having no treatment for a year now. I vow to continue taking care of it by using great shampoo and conditioning daily. As for my skin, putting lotion is now a habit. Same goes for cleansing my face. I still have to practice more with toning and moisturizing my face.

Goal 2: I did a weigh in this morning and I am down to 115lbs! Woohoo! It is still not the ideal weight for my body type but I am so getting there! Quitting my job, exercising daily (aka yaya mode to two active angels), and spending some moolah for non-invasive slimming treatments paid off! Last 5lbs to get rid off, let’s do this!

My blogging life also soared last year. I may not earn much like when I have a full-time work outside home but I earn enough for me to eat ice cream when I want to. LOL. I gained more friends and they are some of the blessings I am mostly thankful for.

There were also a lot of firsts last year and I am thankful they happened! There is Maxyn’s first birthday party. Then the girls’ first airplane ride with my parents and siblings.

2011 was a good year for me and my family despite some bumps here and there. And with positive energy, welcome 2012! I know you have a lot in store for us!

For Donna, kindly wait for my email, I will send it to the address you used for the comments.

Fund Raising Through Bingo

Our home-owner’s association has lined up several projects last year and this year to improve our village. This is one of the perks I like in living in villages and subdivisions. The first is of course, secure living, the second is this, comfort living.

Early last year, they had bingo games to raise funds for a new steel gate for the main village entrance. They based all the patterns from a few online bingo variations. I did not know who won but I knew it was a huge success because after a few months, we already have the new gate.
