Hello and welcome 2020!
Today we will be doing the annual year-end recap.
But first, I want to be upfront that I may be skipping some events worth sharing for 2019.
As you may have noticed (and felt) I wasn’t that active blogging for the past year. I got busy with my new role and was not able to blog for a lot of time. My last Monthly Recap was July 2019 so from there forward I may not be able to share vivid stories of my month.
Still, I want to make this post because 2019 was such a journey for me. Let’s take a walk down memory lane, month by month, highlighting the noteworthy events of the year.

Noel Bazaar Year 5
It has been a year tradition for Nica and I to go Noel Bazaar. I remember back in 2015 when we first went there. Then we did it year after year from 2016, 2017 and 2018.
This 2019 marks our fifth year going to Noel Bazaar and doing some Christmas shopping.
I plan on sharing a separate post on my Noel Bazaar Haul but here are some photos from that evening.

We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother’s house in Cavite. It was nice being together as a family, especially in this timely season. By afternoon my brother treated us with coffee and cakes then we cooked for Noche Buena.

New Year’s Celebration
Same as last year, we spent the New Year at our eldest sister’s condo in Viera Residences. We had a simple feast together. Always enjoyed the fireworks display at the veranda of my sister. It was like attending a competition.
New Year will always be my favorite holiday. I am blessed to have my family with me to celebrate. 2019 went by really fast. My prayer is to enjoy 2020 as it is. No matter what it may bring.
Cheers everyone!
