Happy January :)

As I've said in a previous blog of mine, I'll be blogging at the end of every month. Just to have a summary of how a certain month went by. 

I guess the title summarizes how my January was. Corny as it may sound but yes it was definitely a happy month. Well, I'm not happy everyday, trust me. I still have those days wherein I just feel so down even if I don't know why. But it's lesser when compared to last year. Anyway, the start of my January was a great one and the end of it was even better. 

Let me share what happened this month :)

I started the month with my family, I even blogged about it here. It was truly memorable! Well, every moment with my family is worth keeping. I know you also treasure every moment with your family. If not, then I suggest that you should. On the first day of January we had our complete family picture wherein we all wore blue.  

CANLAS FAMILY♥

Then on the first Thursday of the month I was able to complete the nine days of novena to St. Jude Thaddeus. And until now, I'm still attending the mass & novena every Thursday. It's always a great feeling whenever I attend the novena & mass. I always get this feeling of fulfillment. :) I will always be grateful to St. Jude Thaddeus :)

Yay! :)
(from my planner)

Then on the first Friday of the month, of course, I attended mass. And, it was also the day wherein I got the chance to bond with two of my cousins.

It was also this month wherein I was able to exercise more. I was able to stick with one of my plans. I was also able to jog for at least two times a week. I'm liking it :) I should continue this. I wanna have that "Bora body" hahaha! I wish. 

healthy living :))))

Another reason why I loved my January: three of my favorite series are back! Oh, simple joys. 

Pretty Little Liars.

90210.

The Vampire Diaries.

Then, I was able to watch the DLSU-ADMU women's volleyball game at the San Juan Arena. It was my first time to watch it live. Here's my blog entry about it. :) Click this hahaha. 

My only photo that day. Sorry. Low quality -_-

And it was also in this month wherein I got the chance to bond with my high school friends. We see each other almost everyday. We just hang out mostly at our house and we have fun even with those simple things. I love hanging out with them. Non-stop kwentuhan at tawanan =)) Our high school barkada had our 6th year anniversary last January 14 :)

This is the photo I uploaded on my instagram: rosannebianca :)
Happy 6th again dhaber =)

This month, I was also able to do something new. Yup, I just blogged about that earlier. Since I really want my own ombre shorts I decided to make one plus some cropped tops :) 

Tops: BEFORE.

Tops: AFTER.

Shorts: BEFORE.

Shorts: AFTER.

Learn how to make one. Here :)

Another reason why I loved this month: I made use of my planner wisely. Yay for me! Hahaha. I doodled, wrote quotes, notes, appointments etc. I was glad that I really started using it, it was so full. Here's a glimpse of my planner. It's blurry so you won't be able to read it hahaha!

MOSTLY DOODLES. =))

THERE :)

Then, the last two things that happened this month that really completed it would be the news that my new phone will be delivered after 3 days (I've waited for this for two months) and receiving the news that I was accepted in a medical school :) You know what, I received both news on the same day which was last Tuesday, January 29 :) I was definitely a happy kid that day! Another good thing was I got my phone the day after they called. Napaaga pa =)) I'm really one lucky girl. 

I told myself that 2013 would be my year, yes I claimed it. And, I think it's starting to be true. Only one month have passed and I already received so many blessings. God knows when to answer our prayers. He surely has the right timing. Always. That's why we should never doubt Him. If He doesn't give it in an instant, I'm sure that He's just waiting for the right time to answer your prayer. That's what happened to me. There were days wherein I felt so so sad but the next day a great news would come out. So I guess that's just part of our lives. We have to get used to the ups and downs of life, life is a roller coaster ride indeed. It may get rough at times, we may be scared of it sometimes but at the end of the ride we would always say; "It was fun and worth it. I wanna try it again."
