January 2014

The year opened with a kick-off celebration of the company (UNTV) I’m working with. I think I did a great job in pulling the retro feel (New Age Retro) in my wardrobe on that day.  It was also this month where I got a chance to do a TV guesting in another TV station (GNN). My friend, William Thio is hosting the said program.  My most visited blog post for the year 2014 was also created in this month. My DIY trip to Tagaytay where i got to try travelling with only Php 200 in my pocket. It was also the month where I got to be reunited with some of my friends from my Ilo-Ilo trip via 2Go Travel in 2013.

February 2014

The month of February took me into different places. I got to work with top production team in the country to produce Trip Magazine where Beauty Queen Venus Raj was the cover. I’m the BTS cameraman and the video editor of the BTS video. It was also the month where my article in Cook Magazine was release. February also took me above, beyond and under with my first trekking activity to Mt. Manalmon in Bulacan. I also had the chance to travel to Macau with friends Sheng and Rheena. It was my first DIY International trip.

December 2014

I was such a happy kid when I was invited to attend Bloggers United (thanks Pax & Ana), I was excited (they didn’t know that) it was actually on my 2014 goals to atleast be present on that event, but I was not just present because I also got a chance to sell some of my clothes c/o Englingorgeous! (thanks Earth!). Got some fun memories as well at the Fuji Instax event, our visit at Dencio’s and the instant photoshoot at Manila Bay, and did some shopping at the newly opened SM Makati beauty section.

What an amazing year, many thanks to all who have been part of my year and to all the people who have acknowledge my work, to all my readers and to all the people I came across last 2014. Good or bad, you’ve been part of who I am right now. I give back all to the Glory of God!
