2020. A lot of things could be said about you. You 2020. A lot of things could be said about you. You are terrible, to say the least. But if we ask ourselves, what went right this year? ⁣
⁣
2020 taught me the real meaning of true friendship and genuine human connections. This year enlightened me with a lot of lessons, but the most important is: focus only on what matters, among them are family and a tight core of friends. We don’t need many, we just need a few real ones who we can celebrate good times with and provide support during the bad. A solid support system boosts our confidence and worth, and our well-being especially during this pandemic.⁣
⁣
While 2020 felt like a roller coaster ride, it definitely isn’t the worst year for me. I am happy that as the year comes to a close, I, my family, and friends are all still healthy and alive.⁣
⁣
To everyone I met, to those who left, to those I removed, to all of you who became part of my 2020, Thank You! You all had an impact and I will take all the learnings to 2021.⁣
⁣
The last day of the year is a celebration of collective dreams. Although we have been taken aback by the overall gloom of 2020, much of it was beyond our control and I remain hopeful that 2021 will be a much better year. ⁣
⁣
Thank you, next! HAPPY NEW YEAR, mga ka-GLORIOUS!⁣

Really got excited about this delivery: Belle’s Really got excited about this delivery: Belle’s Refreshing Juice of Davao City is now in Cebu!⁣
⁣
Tried out their eight regular flavors and I could attest that the juices indeed are made of pure fruits and veggies and have no preservatives and additives. Some of the juices have sugar, but in very low quantities. ⁣
⁣
Since it has no preservatives, it has to be covered in ice while being transported and must be kept chilled, opened or unopened. It could last 10-15 days unopened, but must be consistently chilled or else fermentation will be unstoppable. Once opened, consume within 3-5 days.⁣
⁣
They’re available in 1 Iiter and 3.75 liter gallons. ⁣
