Jessy Mendiola’s highs and lows

Jesse Mendiola

How do you intend to celebrate the holidays this year?

My family and I are always together wherever we may be during Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I don’t have a gift for myself this holiday season, but I will reward myself by going on a longer vacation in 2017. My 2016 had many highs and lows, but they’re balanced. Despite the struggles, I also had a lot of blessings. Through it all, I reminded myself to never give up, because everything would fall into place at the right time. —Marinel Cruz
