What's in Store for 2016?

Today, I got a chance to reflect on things or projects that I wanted to accomplish for the year and the means to achieve them. The idea is to have a relax and achievable goals where you get to have fun along the process, using SMART which I learned from work as guiding principle, I came up with the following:

Learn Thai language. Thailand is a place that we both can agree on to live as a second home in the near future. It is short hop to Burma and has many centers where you can spend long retreat to practice meditation. The standard of  living is quite affordable and healthcare has improved over the years. So staying in Thailand for two to three months this year will be a fun way to pick up basic commands and learn the language.

Stay active year round through community involvement, sport activities and charity work. This include training for a marathon which usually takes three to four months of preparation or a century ride, a 100 miles of scenic cycling such as the GranFondo in Whistler.

Community Involvement through Corporate America. Tech companies such as Adobe, SAP Labs, and Google in Silicon Valley has teamed up to help build school playground in San Jose.

Book Drive. SMU High School Batch of 1983, Bayombong Nueva Vizcaya organized a Book Drive for the children of Pawak Elementary School

Find or start a side gig. There were number of ideas that came to mind,  Blogging- this year I will spend more time documenting my travel and outdoor activities.
