A Letter to 2019 Thank you for the 365 days that we've shared together. It was really a memorable one. Unlike last year, I made sure to have at least one trip per month. I made sure that I have plenty of bonding time with my family and my cousins, hence we had a monthly hike to different mountains in the country. Let's look back and see what milestones we've achieved this year. 1.  This year, I was able to publish  77 articles (one article more than last year 😀).  2.

I got to travel back to Singapore with my QSR friends and to Japan with my family. I also got to visit several new destinations in the Philippines this year.
