It’s been a good few months since my last post. The year 2024 was a challenging year for us as we lost a loved one who will always be remembered. Losing someone is quite a difficult part of life, you just don’t know when it happens.
On a more positive note, our home renovations have been finally completed! It took us a few years to finally finish all of the rooms in the house. The last room was the bathroom which wasn’t cheap (ugh!). All in all, we’re glad all the major updates have come to an end. We can now relax and appreciate what we’ve done.
Another fantastic news is my family is currently here with us to celebrate Christmas and new year holidays! The first time they’ve visited us was way back in 2019. Their stay this 2024/2025 is longer than the first visit due to the bank holidays in the Philippines. The last time we’ve celebrated Christmas and new year as a family was in 2016 which was quite a while. I’m really happy I’m able to spend time with them.
Every January, I normally set goals to follow for the rest of the year. I was not quite successful last year with my health and fitness goal but will strive to make some improvements on that aspect this year, and will be my main focus. On my Goodreads account, I joined the 2025 reading challenge and increased my goal from 25 books in 2024 to 30 books in 2025.
Furthermore, I’ve committed to a ‘No Buy Challenge’ this year, and more info will be on a separate post. I’ve accumulated too much things to the point I’ve not appreciated what I have. The point of this goal is to make myself enjoy the things I have which is so easy to miss!
What are your goals this year? Have you been successful on your goals last year?
Wishing you all and your families a great 2025! x
