First trip in 2012 - Winter in Japan!!


Re-cap of what went on so far since I haven't been updating for so long :P

Celebrated the start of 2012 with a trip to Tokyo, Japan with my hubby, my friend and her family. It was truly a big start for all of us. I learned a lot from this trip - patience, endurance and most of all when faced with adversity head-on just push forward and charge your way through! Nothing and no one can stop you from doing what you want and if you really want something, just go for it!

I think I've been charging head-on and didn't stop and I almost lost sight of my focus that I also almost gave up but I still kept on going until I was plain exhausted. Now, with my head much clearer and my heart lighter, I am more than determined to reach my goal. At the same time, I will not forget to stop and smell the flowers every now and then. It is very important to think of your own Self but don't get too soaked up and forget to Live Life and Love Life.

Looking back, I'm very happy that I went for this trip to Japan. Like I've said to myself last year, Japan and Hong Kong will be on my yearly trips list. To have gone and done something that you have set your heart to, is more than just personal satisfaction, it is truly a blessing to be able to be where your heart has intended to be. For that I am very grateful.. Here's to more travel destinations to beautiful places and even more amazing travel adventure! 

Next on my yearly travel list: San Diego, New York and London!

XOXOXOXOX
