Ever since I got married, it has always been our custom to have New Year's lunch at my dad's house in Caloocan. My stepmom always cooks up a feast of the most delicious dishes and we really look forward to it every year.
Little did I know that January 1, 2014 was the last New Year's Day my dad would be around for. I turned 40 a couple of months ago. Dad was present for over 39 years. He was 64 when he passed on. Coincidentally it was the only New Year's Day where we ALL had a photo. I certainly wasn't expecting it (hence my pambahay look) because we don't really take photos yearly but strangely enough that time my younger brother's girlfriend had a tripod and timer so we could all be in the photo. I must say I was overwhelmed by all the support during my dad's wake.
It happened in the later part of the year. I'll tell you right off it's a super super big deal to be representing a telco... and I'm in good company with fashion blogger Anagon, one of the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Very few people are 100% nice and Anagon is one of them.
I'm soooo thankful for Uber, a car and driver service I can use anytime via an app on my smartphone. I used to have a difficult time going to meetings in the Makati CBD because parking is practically non-existent. With Uber, I have a car and driver at my disposal anytime anywhere.

Little did I know that January 1, 2014 was the last New Year's Day my dad would be around for. I turned 40 a couple of months ago. Dad was present for over 39 years. He was 64 when he passed on. Coincidentally it was the only New Year's Day where we ALL had a photo.

I must say I was overwhelmed by all the support during my dad's wake.
I usually list the positive things I recall from January to December but I guess dad's passing is what marks 2014 for me. I actually lost a parent. I'm at that age already. It's kind of depressing I guess.
Even if dad has already left, we'll still be having our usual New Year's Day lunch at his house tomorrow.
Incidentally, 2014 is also the year when I did not go abroad, not even for a nearby destination like Hong Kong.
Anyhow I'm still making a list of things that have made an impact on my 2014. These are listed in no particular order, only as I remember them:

| #1 Signing with SUN Cellular |
