Ever since I was single, I have been writing about my goals ~~ sometimes in my blogs, journal, to do list. Anywhere actually but the point is I have to write it down so I am being reminded of the things I have to pray and work hard for.
And that still went on when I met Ryan.
At the start of our relationship, we created a 5-year plan. We were just dating then.
I remember writing this while we’re at the balcony of Pananayam Homestay in Sabang, Batanes. Everything was surreal. Everything felt like I knew I had found the one. Haha! Cheesy but this is still true until today that we have our baby already.
Writing this down now as I know this piece of paper will soon be nowhere to be found. Haha! But seriously, I am proud to be in a relationship that prioritizes family and goals.
Here are some updates of the 5-year plan we wrote almost 4 years ago.
Ryan & Pia | 5-Year Plan
*Created October 2019 – not updated already, we have a new and updated 5-year plan
| Year | Goals | Notes | What happened? |
| 2019 | Propose | Ryan told me to write this, so there. Haha! | Ryan talked to Mama in 2019 that he wants to proposebut Mama said it’s a bit early. So it was postponed. He then asked before my birthday, and Mama agreed. I love Ryan respects me and Mama on this. |
| 2019 | Bahay | Ryan and I decided to purchase a house after our Batanes trip. He talked to my Mother before and asked her plans for me.

But, it still not yet turnovered to us up today! |
| 2020 | Kotse (Innova/Avanza/MG) | We want secondhand lang. We don’t want to pany monthly for a car back then. | Since it was pandemic that time, we decided to buy a car/suv using our Church wedding budget. We bought a secondhand Innova. We were so happy! |
| 2020 | Kasal | Our goal is October 2020 but pandemic happened. 🙁 | We didn’t have a church wedding but a civil wedding in Camarines Norte, December of 2020. It’s not magical but it is the happiest date of my life. I see Ryan’s eyes filled with happiness. We both shared an event that I know we both will never forget. |
