happyZ turns 27

GOALS I WANT TO ACHIEVE AS A 25 YEAR OLD
1. Start Investing on stocks/funds that will give me a good ROI.
2. Start looking into small homes/townhouses that I could start amortizing.
3. Be a regular employee of Megaworld, do my best as a leasing assistant.
4. Travel to hongkong with AXE Gang, I love being with them. Must have 30k budget.
5. Re-invent myself: Look and feel good. Change is better.
6. Go on an adventure trip to Hongkong with my sister Sha.
7. Be fit and have a lean body.
8. Join an organization- I want to save the environment.
9. Recycle. Turn junk into jewels.

While organizing my files, I stumbled upon this. Written are my goals when I was 25 years old. Sadly, most of the things I wrote remain unachieved and some I can no longer pursue. I just turned 27 this month and this scared me. It’s been two years already and it seems that I didn’t grew that much.

Most of the people I know have better careers and better compensation while I’m still figuring out what I really and barely getting by.  Some have their own place while I’m stuck renting because I can’t afford to amortize my own unit yet. Some are married and together with the love of their soulmate while I’m single and alone – cue in #mayforever, meron din #foreveralone haha

Bitter? Yes. I should’ve done more and gained but instead I wasn’t able to save something precious to me and in return lost it.

I don’t want to make the same mistake again. I must be the best version of myself, move on and bury regrets. So let me tweak my list a bit:

1. Start Investing on stocks/funds that will give me a good ROI.
- Monitor my small investments and look into mutual funds.
2. Start looking into small homes/townhouses that I could start amortizing.
- Research and identify a property and assess and plan payment terms
3. Be a regular employee of Megaworld, do my best as a leasing assistant.
- Done. Look for a job that has better compensation and is close to what I enjoy doing.
4. Travel to hongkong with AXE Gang, I love being with them. Must have 30k budget.
- Travel to Hongkong next year  with friends.
5. Re-invent myself: Look and feel good. Change is better.
- Continue to re-invent myself.
6. Go on an adventure trip to Hongkong with my sister Sha.
- Same. Need to fix passport first. Goal for next year!
7. Be fit and have a lean body.
- Same. Haha
8. Join an organization- I want to save the environment.
- Pursue this!
9. Recycle. Turn junk into jewels.
- Do this!

I will RUN forward and never look back on past regrets, failures and heartaches.
