2013 in Pictures

The few remaining days of 2013 calls for the remembrance of almost the year that was. But the past 360 days have been a roller coaster ride. There were ups, downs, and so-so. There were moments worth imprinting on paper and saving on journals, some were even worth forgetting. Thanks to Instagram (and journal-calendar), reliving the yesterdays become much easier. Here's my Instagram account (http://instagram.com/nickkydeguzman) by the way.

Perhaps, career-wise, my biggest achievement was the celebration of my first year as a Lifestyle Reporter for a daily newspaper. It wasn't easy, though. Thank God I made it. Although a Lifestyle Writer has relatively easier schedule than a News Writer, it doesn't mean that he/she has lesser responsibilities. Lifestyle reporters also has tons of deadlines and daily events. But of course, the soft news writers have perks (teehee) like local/overseas travels, hotel/restaurant accommodation, and fashion freebies.

Here are some of my Instagram entries I would like to share:

I visited Singapore twice this year! Here's to more travel next year!

Bohol and Cebu were struck by earthquake that left many of their World Heritage sites damaged or completely muddles. The picture is Bohol's majestic Baclayon Church, before the earthquake hit.

This is Mayor Romualdez' Patio Victoria Beach in Tacloban before the Super Typhoon Yolanda hit the province and left it like a War Zone. I really hope that the people of Leyte, Samar, Palawan and other hard-hit areas remain hopeful and positive.

To cap off my year, I finally... entered in a relationship. Haha!
