Well! 2014, a year where literally almost everything in my life changed momentously both good and bad, is going to end in a flash. It is a heart breaking moment to reminisce all the gold travelling memories of 2014 and to take a trip down memory lane of every single oversea and local road trips I had. 2014 is like my major travel year of all time so far. And this year, I want to set new year resolutions which I think I'm mature enough to keep it work.
My first trip in 2014 was to the ancient city, Bagan, with my colleagues. I did blog the whole experience so let's keep it short in one word "Amazing"!
Second trip was to Singapore and Indonesia to celebrate "I don't want to celebrate Valentine's Day". So majorly all I did was reading & feeling the nature. For sure, I had enough rest and sleep. Another Great vacation!
Let's say third trip was mostly business related but it still was one great trip full of experience and useful knowledge. Vietnam, I still recalling every remembrance from you. Hanoi did give me some motivation. The only reason why I didn't blog is that my work details will bore you to death.
Moving on to fourth, travelling to no other than Singapore, my second home for 6 years, as a reward right after massive water festival celebration planning. I have missed Singapore real much so that 4 days was like heaven. And oh! I did three photo-shoots. What an experience!
For the fifth trip, I have to confess that the most stupid and craziest thing I did in 2014 was going back to Singapore for 2 days just to party. Like people said, unplanned events are the greatest.. I had much crazy times with crazy people which I'll never get back in my life anymore. It's just sad to even think about.
Well, I needed beach vacation urgently so travelling to Chaung Tha Beach counted as 6th. I can't believe I used to be this lucky girl who just need to wish and everything just get fulfilled but I do know I still am to some extend. So I just need to count blessings and ignore all the flaws.
My last trip to Singapore for the year 2014 was pretty amazing, energizing and full of fun. I met lots of people and everyone I want to see was there for me. This 7th "business + pleasure " trip brought me 5 unforgettable days of my life.
I repeatedly went to chaung tha beach as 8th trip with family to celebrate mom and dad anniversary. It wasn't honestly, the most pleasant stay because it was pretty last minute planned but with family, it is always fun and entertaining. It was the only trip I had with family in 2014 so it sure was memorable.
My 9th and most excited trip was to Tokyo, Japan definitely. Just too much information to share so I'll need to write it off as another long post. It's still hard to believe that I did went to Japan and experienced fall first time in my life. Everything about Japan is totally magical. Tokyo indeed is a beautiful city.
Truth be told, this trip won my "most looking forward to" trip award. Bangkok, city of dreams, my 10th destination, shopping paradise! I'll definitely be back next year because just once is not enough!
Last but not least, a short trip with bestie to my most fav place in Myanmar, Shan state. No joke, we both almost cried on the way back for all the fun that we had. It's truly a blessing for being able to travel with people I love. We had a deal to travel the world together one day.
11 amazing trips in year 2014, now you feel me why i want to keep this memory in one page. And I'm so looking forward to spend all my time in travelling coming this 2015. I don't just travel, I live for it, share it, experience it, explore it and make a memory of it. On an unrelated note, I personally think people who travel usual are more mature and understanding. I might be wrong but it for sure can open your soul up to be more free.
Aren't you guys too normally excited about this new year, new me mainstream thingy every time one year ends? I didn't normally but this year for the first time in forever, I actually think I'm ready to set new year resolutions more like goals. I have been dreamer for so long. So this is time for some actions. Next year end, when I read it back, hopefully every points got ticked. (finger crossed!) So shall we start?
- Driving - procrastination driving much so no more excuse! next year, I want to see myself on a road, in a car, driving. Saying it's not safe is not gonna bring me anywhere.
- Work - been working for 1 year and look how far I have already made myself useful. I just need a little bit of motivation everyday, more organized filing and very strict schedule and I'll do great next year too.
- Passion - This is the year I'll finally work for my passion ofcause fashion and blogging. I know it's not easy to follow your dreams sometimes it can turn out to be nightmares. I'm rarely believe in anything but if you're passionate enough, everything is possible, this! I do believe. And finally, I just want to announce our sister collaboration brand " HONEY AND HANNAH Couture" will be in action sometime next year and also another surprise announcement is waiting to be divulged. And my blog is going to be more active and not just focusing on fashion, also lifestyle and fitness area also will be touched so it seems like I will need my full attention just for this.
- Fitness - personally I prefer staying in bed with piles of blankets and a hot tea ten times over sweating in public with healthy juices & proteins. But I come to my senses this December that fitness should be most important lifestyle that everyone need to keep for healthy lives. As a person who has been promoting premium gym in Yangon for a year, I think it is finally time to hit the gym. Already downloaded Victoria Secret's models work out photos in a folder so I'm pretty much ready.
- Socializing - never had a hard time socializing and no wonder I'm in Marketing field and I love being one. Lately, I subconsciously caught myself turning into quiet person who forgot a whole world if I had a good book in my hand. I don't know it's good or bad thing but I'll need my ass move a little bit to see what's happening in town.
- Friendship - it's both a blessing and a curse to accept that as we get older, lesser and only true people will be around caring. So, I'll just have to learn to let go in other word, I will be there when they need but not the other way around. The only important insight I got in 2014 is that taking can be very miserable, giving otherwise is peaceful. Not so proud being taker majorly for some years. So less taking more giving!
- Charity - I will expend "Ayechanmyitta" family charity team to the level where everyone else can be participated with us. I found my real happiness and I won't let that go away. Living for others added my life so much value. With the most supportive family I have, we are listing and tracking every places in town and outskirt of town which do need attention, money, love, education and medical aids. And no it's not for one time show only as we target to do long term and regularly every months.
- Family - every single time my mom said you should be proud of yourself for earning your own money and supporting family, I still feeling overwhelmed with joy. I wasn't exactly best daughter in the world but I'm happy that they are proud to have me. I need to give more time, bring lesser problem and occasionally make them happy by bringing them out for dinner and trip. Afterall, family is all I have.
- Mindset - 2014 changed me a lot and I did heard a lot of judgemental comments like she is faking too much! who do you think she is! being so proud for nothing! and also being called "bitch". At one point of your life, people opinions are no longer matter. Every story has three sides: what you think it is, what they think it is & the truth. May be I'm at this age early, I only seek for optimism and positive mindset which look out for the best in people. May be this might look faking to some people but I know myself and I feel tranquil, and this is the only thing that matters. Self respect, knowing self - worth, optimism, freedom and learning to inspire: main 5 things I'll be building in 2015.
- Relationship - I made 2 major relationship decisions in 2014. Consider myself lucky or should just thank my stupid pride, I'm never desperate to be loved and never need to beg someone to love me and probably never will. Truthfully speaking, everyone stayed and staying in my life as their will not by force. I'm a woman with " I don't need a man to complete my life, I can support myself" mindset. But every effort you have done to make me believe love again is much appreciated. Clean slate for a year and I'll be only looking forward to build real relationship in 2015 or else i'm not interested!
Hey 2015, I'm ready
