My Goal For 2016


My goal for 2016 is to involve myself in things that will make me happy, better, and make me some money (who doesn't need money,anyway?). Let me start with career. I'm already 26 years old and I, believe it or not, still doesn't have a regular job. I graduated in 2011 and was blessed enough to immediately get my license to be a Physical Therapist.  Then I started applying but to no luck,I always (as in ALWAYS) ended being a volunteer (or auxiliary) Physical Therapist but nevertheless I still give my 100% to help my patients recover until 2 years ago, I found myself not being happy or motivated with what I'm doing.  I found myself battling every morning whether to go to work or not, so I have decided to stop deceiving myself and said goodbye to where I was working. Then, I started making money on my own by being a private PT, instead of the patients going to hospital/clinic to get treatment I went to their homes to give treatment, up to now I still have a patient/s a treat regularly. I may not be totally happy as a PT but I can assure that I'm giving my very best in treating my patients. This year, I'm giving myself one last chance as a PT, I'm currently processing my application overseas and if I'll fail in my application I'd finally say goodbye to PT world and pursue a career in writing. I may not be a good writer now, but I will be... soon. And I'm going to involve myself more on any activities that will help me improve my writing skills this 2016. 

My second goal for this year is to become healthy. I tried to become healthy last year, but (again) I messed up. This year, I set a goal of losing 11-15 kilos, I'm aiming for a normal BMI (Body Mass Index). For my height I needed to weigh 41-55 kilos to have normal BMI, achieving 50 kilos below will prevent me from donating blood (you need to be at least 50 kilos to donate), so I decided to be at least  between 50-55 kilos. My family already started eating brown rice about 2 years ago and then we also lessen our red meat intake. This year, I aim to stop myself from eating canned goods, chips, and unhealthy drinks and I also want to join in the fun run events with my family.

My third goal is to experience more about the things that I like. Last year, I've traveled  quite a lot and I've tried cooking and baking more recipes. This 2016, I want to try mountaineering again, I want to conquer more mountains this year. Also, I want to learn more about (South) Korean culture, I know this isn't a surprise anymore, I love everything about South Korea. Before, when I'm asked which country (aside from the Philippines) I'd like to live I'd answer New Zealand but after watching various Korean variety shows, I now dream of living in South Korea. And I want to travel more with my family this year, we haven't tried travelling outside the Philippines, so I hope we can this year.

This year, I dare to step out of my comfort zone and follow what my heart desires. This year, I dare to conquer my fears. This year, I dare to believe and love myself more.

Learning 한국어 (Hangugeo/Korean Language)

"Learning another language is not only learning different words for the same things,but learning another way to think about things." - Flora Lewis I'm into Korean dramas since I was in high school, Korean movies and food after I graduated from college, and this year I've been quite addicted to Korean variety shows and songs which lead me to be more interested in learning their language. My brother and I decided to enroll in Korean Cultural Center 's 3rd term (for this year) for Korean language class, but unfortunately the schedule that we wanted was already full. So, out of my desperation in wanting to learn the language, I decided to study it on my own. One thing I like about internet is that when you need to know something it's just a click away. So, I used this awesome benefit of the internet for my self-study of Hangugeo. And, here, I list the websites that I'm relying on: 1. Pinterest This is where I first learn how to write Korean lette

Pasinaya 2016 and Free Heritage Tour: Appreciating Philippine Art and History

Image
I, together with Mavic and Tetet, planned on joining the free heritage tour around Manila hosted by Royal Posted Heritage Guided Tour . The said tour set its meeting place in the Manila Post Office's lobby between 12:30-1 pm... Since we had a lot of time after attending the 8 am Mass at The Feast, we killed our time appreciating Philippine art at CCP for the 2016 Pasinaya Open House Festival. Anything that is related to Philippine art, whether it be a painting, drawing, song, dance, play you can see it at the festival. Since we were only killing time, we weren't able to see a lot, we spend more time on viewing paintings, drawings, and crafts. Various paintings displayed at the second floor of CCP Show your creative side with slippers Art using bleach. This one is my favorite among the all the artworks displayed at CCP.  Tetet writing on the freedom art piece Traditional costumes are also displayed You can even try making your own masterpiece.

  너무   맛있어요...  진짜  맛있어요... It's very delicious... Really delicious... My love for sweet food and Korean food has led me to an idea of trying to make a very popular Korean street food called Hotteok.  It is like the Korean version of our Piaya. Hotteok  seems hard to make but it isn't. But let me warn you, patience is needed to make this sweet snack. INGREDIENTS: Dough: 1/2 c. warm water 1/2 Tbsp. yeast 1/2 Tbsp. sugar 3 c. flour 1 c. milk 1/2 Tbsp. salt Filling: 1/4 c. brown sugar 1/4 c. white sugar 1/2 tsp. cinnamon powder 2 1/2 Tbsp. peanuts,chopped PROCEDURE: 1. Make the yeast mixture. Mix warm water, yeast, and  sugar. Set aside for approximately 5 minutes to allow yeast to grow. Make sure the water is warm and not hot.
