Reflection & Throwback Tuesday - 2013 Year End Special

Enjoyable Recollection
 
The 31st of December is the oldest and last day of the year. Many of us are busy preparing to send-off the year 2013 and say hello to new year 2014.
 
I believe that today is the best time to look back and reminisce the past 1 year because this will help us evaluate our accomplishment and failures. Consequently, this is the best time to give thanks to our Heavenly Father. This year, I achieve several milestones although it wasn't easy because I was like in a roller coaster ride but I am very pleased with the outcome of my few projects. I am very thankful because I received so many blessings. 

Getting sufficient exercise regularly is also my of my goals this year and it balances my lifestyle. Indeed, I was also able to participate with different running events here in Singapore like;
01 Go Green
02 NTUC Run
03 JP Morgan
04 Sundown Marathon
05 Pocari Sweat
06 Passion Fun Run
07 Against Cancer
08 Adidas King of the Road
09  Love Your Heart Run
10 Run in the Park
I was able to visit several places in Malaysia with my new friends. I also visited my parents, old friends and relatives in the Philippines







At the end of my journey for this year, let me share with you my Top 13 OST.







































According to anonymous writer, happiness can only be achieved if there is a balance between the physical, the mental, the spiritual and the social/emotional.
"Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm & harmony."
 Thomas Merton.

"If you want something done, do it hard, do it well. Don’t pussyfoot. Don't pander. And don't say bad words in public."
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
I would like to thank God for giving me blessings and I would like to give thanks to those who supported me in my endeavour.

Loy Krathong 2013 - Singapore

Loy Krathong which means "floating crown" is an annual festival which is being celebrated in Thailand, Laos and other part of Burma. The event is  always celebrated during the full moon of the 12th month of Thai calendar. This is an ancient ritual paying respect to the water and to give thank for the life it brings to the people.
 
Last night it was also celebrated in Singapore which was organised by Thai Association Singapore. It was held in Tawandang Microbrewery, Dempsey Hill. I was invited to attend this cultural event by a Thai friend, Wachiraporn. She participated in a beauty pageant called "Nang Noppamas".
 
During, the entire show I witnessed the richness of Thai culture.
