From Dubai With Love: Reflections on a Wild, Beautiful, and Romantic 2025!

 



Hello guys! Ceddy here, and welcome to my usual year-end post.



Can you believe we’re actually here? The final days of 2025 are ticking away, and honestly, I’m sitting here just pinching myself. Time flies doesn't even cover it.


I was scrolling through my photo gallery earlier and stumbled upon my very first selfie of the year. Looking at that version of me, I had no idea what was coming. If I had to describe this year in a few words, it would be: A beautiful, chaotic rollercoaster. 2025 definitely kept me on my toes! From massive leaps in my career to personal growth I didn't see coming, it’s been a year of "expect the unexpected." But the biggest surprise of all? Well, that happened in a department I had almost given up on.


A Twist of Fate (and Heart.. ehem)

Let’s talk about love. It’s been six long years since I truly let someone in. I finally told myself, "Okay, 2025, let’s give this another shot." For a while, I’ll be honest, I was a little disappointed. I was praying for someone to share my happiness with, asking for signs, and seeing... nothing.

But you know how they say God’s timing is perfect? It turns out He’s a bit of a "last-minute shopper!" Just when I thought the year would end quietly, everything changed. After a bit of a wild ride, I found that person. I am beyond happy, totally contented, and honestly over the moon. It’s not about finding "perfection", it’s about knowing that God has a plan in every twist and turn. My heart is just so full (charrrot!)



What Keeps My Creative Spark Alive?

People often ask me what pushes me to keep creating, even when things get tough. The answer is simple:

1. My Family: They are my bedrock, no matter where in the world they are.

2. My Love: Having that special someone as an inspiration has given my work a whole new glow.


This journey of creating content wouldn't be half as bright without the amazing teams behind the scenes. A massive thank you to my publishing partners, AdSense , Monumetrtic and Purple Ads, for believing in my voice.


To the brands who have been with me since Day 1 and my Impact FamilyQatar Airways, Klook, Dailymotion and Skyscanner, thank you for the adventures! I’m already buzzing with ideas for our 2026 partnerships. We are just getting started :) .


A Global Thank You

To my family scattered across the globe: in The Philippines, USA, Norway, Russia , Canada and The UK, thank you for your endless love. You are the reason I do what I do.


As I look out at the skyline here in Dubai, I’m sending so much love and gratitude out to all of you. Let’s make 2026 even more legendary!


From Dubai to the world, with Love,
