For some reasons my body clock rang at 1AM today. My spirit told me to savor the last day of the year. I know I have so many errands to run and cooking to do, but I decided to use this time to take inventory of the year that was. So here goes...
Top 10 Things I Did:
1. "No more credit cards!" Cut off the plastic for good with zero balance - FREEDOM!
2. "Rise up!" I have come to a point in my life that I really got this simple principles sinked in, at point of no return: I am blessed to have a job; work should be enjoyed; embrace change and be positive about it; perform regardless of how fast, how political, or how bleak the corporate rat race is.
3. "Woohoo!" Went to HK for my daughter's first Disneyland experience. Not hers but for me and my husband as well. :) That's four wonderful days of childhood wonder!
4. "Retirement is real and ladies should be prepared for it!" Read "Smart Women Finish Rich" which made me revive my interest and take some action when it comes to life insurance, investing, financial planning and inventory of assets and liabilities.
5. "Sa tulong mo, maligaya ang Pasko!" Launched a different Outreach program for our department in SMART and was able to solicit less than 100K with the help of great team members.
6. "Sharing knowledge is power..." attended a Knowledge Management (KM) training which opened my eyes on the truth that KM is more than a tool, but a culture of harvesting and transferring knowledge for the benefit of an organization
7. "Social media is not a fad." Facebook and Twitter helped me make new and find old contacts, build relationships and get in touch with old friends more in 2009 than in any other year.
8. "Sulong!" Launched a national conference for our department which worked under a small budget, me multitasking as director, scriptwriter and technical staff at the same time. Worth every sweat and brows burned. :)
9. "Goodbye long hair" For the first time in five years I cut my long thick hair to a short bob. Liberating!
10. "Eto naaaaah!" Finally got the time and courage to join a children's book story contest which I have been attempting to do in the last five years. Win or lose, at least I did it! :)
