Call me by my name!

I am known to many, not because I am famous or something, but because there is a great number of people who hates me, and my guts.

I get by the name of mol, mollie, maria, maia, maya, malu, marilou, vrad, ate, ninang. The usual, same old, same old stuff.

But hey, I have enemies and they gave me names too!

You can call me yawa, animal, baga ug nawong, kapalmuks, abusada, atribida, walay batasan, demonyita, demonya, bastos, ingrata (my favorite), salbahis. The list could go on. And you know what? All these names came from one person only. My mom.

Her love defies the term, NORMAL.

Happy New Year! 2013

Officially, 2012 belongs in the past now. So much has happened, good and bad and I regret none. I can only move forward and work on my ass to achieve my goals for this year.

Though, I deviated a little from my weight loss goal (I blame the holidays, not the lack of discipline), I want to continue what I have started until I reached my desired weight.

Last year was one hell of a roller coaster ride. It was a ride worth taking. Here's a rundown on what transpired the year before;

- Coming to America
- learning to cook healthy foods
- adjusting to culture
- raising a child American style
- looking for a job
- learning to drive
- getting a driver's license
- passing the driver's license
- looking for state jobs (still)
- actually working
- first time driving without a qualified adult (because I passed the license test that's why)
- passing the state civil service exam
- starting a food blog
- making the food blog work

 there's so much that  has happened and I can't remember all of them, but I can remember the major ones. So, for 2013, I am looking forward to all the challenges I am going to face head-on.

My goals to achieve for this year are;

- find a job that pays $ 15.00 +
- find our own place
- get a car
- petition brian
- get Sam into daycare
- lose 5 lbs of weight a month
- save money
- visit Mary Cris

things can add up as they go, but right now I am pretty sure of where I am going. The tough road ahead, I'm not sure how tough it's going to be, but I'll get through no matter what.

Happy New Year! #goodlifeahead
