Financially, it was not as productive as I want it to be. My investments have not been wise so to speak.
Professionally, there were highlights in my career like that of my one-week travel to Singapore wherein I inspected supplementary materials prior to its delivery to SPHERE-funded provinces in the Philippines. There were also various travels to different schools nationwide that have been effective. However, I was not able to continue my Toastmaster's club attendance due to conflict of schedule at the office. That was one of my regrets.
Spiritually, it was not as abundant as my family expected. I failed to attend in the CFC-SOLD meeting due to my travels to various parts of the country.
In sports, despite my continuous practice of chess online, I have not been lucky to have a place in a tournament I joined at. I was miserably at the middle of the group wherein I should have been better due to my experience and arguably high rating. The only consolation I've got was when I passed the FIDE Arbiter's examination after the Department of Education sponsored me through Philippine Sports Commission. I only need two norms to be officially called FIDE Arbiter.
As usual, the members of family were the best thing I've got and I am so thankful to them as they helped me weathered the storms in my life..
With a new year coming in -- 2013 I wish I will win!
