2012 has been a year of exciting and challenging milestones in my life, both personally and professionally. It was the year when I managed to travel around the country (and even did one stop-over outside of Pinas) and connect with as many people as I could, thanks to my new job as one of the program associates in Zuellig Family Foundation. It has been challenging to live and work far from home however, I was thankful that I found some time to visit Bacolod City and maintain the balance between family and work.
