Looking back at my 2016 Planner made me smile. I color coordinated my entries so that I could see at a glance, what parts of my life needed attention. The colors helped me focus. No, really!
Peach = KLIK Eskuela which turned to KLIKMe.me
Green = Zumba
Violet = Hosting and Parties
Pink = The Roxy Events bookings
Blue = No classes and holidays
Orange = Trips
Yellow = The Little Apprentice
Grey = GMoney matters

Also, on the way to Bayabas, I bought a P600 toaster oven from OLX at the Valencia Towers lang :)
- Visited Pampanga briefly on the 27th (thereabouts, I forget) then returned to Manila to finish the last bookings for the year at The Roxy.

- Spent the new year at Bayabas, brush lettering.
Other Thoughts This Year
BTW, I rediscovered IG or Instagram along the way. I'm posting as much as I can :)
The Bayabas house is called "Enough". I have enough of attention, love, business, hobbies. I'm content. I see the abundance. I see the blessings. WHY would I demand for more?
