Reflecting on 2011

2011 is drawing to close and it's that time of the year where many people reflect on the past year and make resolutions for the new year to come. I personally didn't ponder too much about the past year, although I have started on setting some New Years Resolution for 2012. I am going to do a post on resolutions after I finalized them shortly after the new year but first, I wanted to note my reflections on 2011:

Positive events/experiences/memories:
+discovery of blog world via reading/following and now starting my own
+awesome trip to New Orleans with great friends
+amazing week-long vacation with the boyfriend alone
+learning more about myself and working towards identifying my "passions" (thanks Crsie and Rob!)
+great culinary adventures with Daniel, August, and Amada being the most memorable
+unexpected promotion at work

Negative events/experiences/memories:
-unsuccessful attempt at CFA Level 2
-one of the most sedentary years thus far
-passing of my Grandma's sister/thought of losing loved ones

I'm sure this is not a complete list but these at the things that come to my mind at the moment - will revise as necessary.

New Blog

I must be in a blogging mood today. My friends and I started a separate blog that will focus on our journey to fitness. I really hope this will be a good tool to help us reach our targets. Link is below, enjoy!

Holiday Greetings

Greetings blog world! Long time no see :X I know, I've been very bad about keeping up with this. Although, I do read blogs nearly everyday...

In any case, the holiday season is here and I did quite a bit of shopping the past few weeks and days and wrapping presents was a fun activity I had with Mom...because she helped me wrap everything :) Although it made me realize that I had more gifts for friends than immediate family. Is that acceptable?

I wrote Holiday cards to a few people at my old firm to revive old relationships and to maintain my network. I mainly sent cards to those who came to my mind first and people I worked with directly on engagements:

Jerry
Maclar
Javi
John
Wally
Kathleen
Joe
Lauren
Patrick

I wanted to send cards to a few others but didn't know their employer/address! :(

Happy Holidays and hope this is a time where you continue to count your blessings and appreciate those you love and care dearly about!
