Yay! It's my first blog post for the year. Before I delve into 2018-related things, I believe it's appropriate to give proper closure to the year that was. Don't get me wrong! Before the New Year celebrations, I already did the usual year-end conclusions (e.g. journal writing, Facebook post lol,etc.). I just want to do the same for my blog. 

I won't go into details here as 2017-related events are either still on my blog entries backlog OR may be too personal to talk about. 😀

2017 was an amazing year for me. Although I wasn't able to fully live up to my 2017 theme (mindfulness), there were several happenings that led me to where I am right now. I created a lot of progress in most of my goals, I took risks, I challenged myself... I grew. These were all timely as I've also turned 25 this year! :)
