Thank you, 2011. Hello 2012.

Farewell 2011.

Thank you for all the memorable projects–

Events that are not only successful but fun and fulfilling…

Make Your Own Havaianas, an event we’ve helped organize the past 6 years

Opportunities and new successes…

Following Mercato Centrale, our new markets–

Soderno in the South

with our partners, RJ & Van Ledesma, Anton & Rache Diaz (Thank you OAP for the photo)

and Distrito.

This year, I was able to tick several items off my bucket list in terms of work…

Brought Expo Mom to Cebu and Davao

with Expo Mom Davao partner and former high school batchmate, Marisa Salonga-Tiongko

Published my Mom 24/7 planner, finally!

Guesting at ShopTalk to promote Mom 24/7, with Ana Araneta of Carousel, and ShopTalk host Ria Trillo


and Travel…

Finally experienced CamSur and

visited Palawan’s Subterranean River

Visited Vietnam with Gary

Ben Thanh Market, HCMC Vietnam

and brought our kids to the Great Wall of China

It was a year of doing new things–

Running my first 10k with Gary

Joining Zach in his pottery class with Mia Casal

Being a columnist at Working Mom Magazine

It was a year of people coming…

my new cutie nephew, Jake

And going…

I end another year making peace with people and with myself, grateful for all the blessings and challenges that came my way, humbly accepting that there were things I could have done or handled better, and thankful for another fresh start to try to be a better wife, mom, friend, daughter and sister, employer, human being.

My wish for 2012, is that I continue to–

Find inspiration in the simple

Savor the love of my family

and friends

and people who I want to reach dreams and goals with

Creative Juice in HK

Candy and Rome, my partners, Mommy Mundo mompreneurs and sponsors

Take time to explore

Coby & Zach, Snake Island, Palawan

Have fun and be silly (sometimes)

with Kindermusik supergirls, Teacher Maya and Teacher Jeannie

Have more Laugh Out Loud moments

Gary and the Wahahaha water in China

Take more opportunities to share

at the Sense & Style/ Manila Bulletin Mother’s day event where i spoke about mompreneurship. (Thanks for the opportunity, AA Patawaran!)

Never forget to CARE for others

Zach at the MomShare outreach

To keep reaching for new heights

While keeping my feet on the ground (better yet, in the sand)

But if there is nothing else, I just want more moments with these in my close view

and

and 2012 will be just as memorable as it can possibly be.

Thank you God for life and for all the love. AMDG+
