If I hold it in and it overflows

 and I drown...

They said that the first year of marriage is the crucial one. There will be adjustments and lots of fights and misunderstandings. But for some reason, we rarely have fights. We discuss and we learn from our mistakes. I'm not sure what it is but somehow, we were able to adjust smoothly. We were sailing the sea to its glory. 

We are not perfect, definitely not, there are hiccups, and there are pauses but... We move forward carrying all the lessons that we picked up along with the hope of a better tomorrow.

House dedication. This is one of the biggest things this year for us. Owning a home in 2021, fixed it in December and early 2022 and dedicated it to the Lord by March. We celebrated this with our Family and Friends. 

First swimming in Angeli's Resort in Muntinlupa, celebrating Vianca's Birthday.

Sunday lunch at Kuya J's restaurant with our Families after Church. 

Then, went straight to Evia Mall to meet up some old pals from TaskUs.

Went to Subic, Zambales for a quick getaway.

First time in a casino for some buffet with my teammates. Good food for real.

First time being part of the Men's community in Victory - and ever.

Went to Zark's and drink some coffee in Megamall together with my workmates from Harte Hanks to TaskUs. Famously known as Team Flex.

Couples Victory Group.

Mom got diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease which broke us all down. God made His moves and still waiting and praying for His miracle for Mom's complete Healing. We appreciate our JIL, Victory, and our extended family for standing in prayer with us.

This year, we also campaigned and vote for this tandem. I think they are the best in recent years. It's heartbreaking but, we have to respect the results of the election and this is not about them. It's about the future of the Filipino people. Above any other politics, I'm just hoping for a competitive, genuine and faithful leadership that will elevates the lives of the people. 

I never thought that it will come down to this. From being a non-anime watcher to an anime lover to an anime figure collector. What a year it is. 

The only team that I've rooted for all my life just went to the Finals this year. They come short with 4-2 record against the Warriors. I'm proud of this team and I hated Warriors for being this good after all these years. 

Where would 2023 take you?
