the year that was:)

it's the time of the year again to make year end blogs. shempre kasi end of the year 2009 na bukas. hehe. and because i love to blog, i'll make my own year end blog:))

2009 has been a major year for me. A lot of things has happened and there were a lot of changes. Some of the changes were for the better while some of the consequences of these changes are yet to be determined.

Sometimes i see 2009 as a sad year, considering that two of my aunts passed away this year plus the different calamities and tragedies that our country has faced and is facing. But looking back, i find myself losing count of the many blessings that my family and I have received this year and I can't help but be thankful to Him for the year that is soon to end. 

My brother said, that dapat daw new year celebration for 2010 should be grand. kasi it has been a decade since the year 2000th. may point may point:)  madami na namang paputok bukas ng gabi. *sigh* i don't like firecrackers talaga.

Today is the best time to look back to the major events that happened and thank the people who were with me for this year and so i will:)

My last 3-4 months as a BS Chemistry student signaled the start of my 2009. These months were the hardest especially because of thesis, people who can't understand the difficulties that we as graduating batch are facing, and plainly because of the stress of being part of the graduating batch. The next months after graduation was the preparation for the board exam. We need to be ready physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. After passing the board exam was finding a job, some realizations and standing up for my decisions. 

Some of my most memorable experiences happened this year, from last college moments with friends and robert, college graduation, Family trips to Boracay and Northern Philippines, passing the board exam, breaking up, typhoon Ondoy experience, my 21st birthday party, having my first job as a chemist and deciding to enter med school:) 

Honestly, most of my time for this year has been spent being a bum. Thus, it is safe to say that after 19 years of study, i finally had my share of bum time. hooray for that.:))

As usual, there are a lot of people who have been with me, and have been there for me for the past 12 months. So here goes the dedics for my top 5 people:))

1. To my family - mama, papa, bam. For all the love and support. You have always make me feel loved and special, and I am very grateful for having you as my family. Here's to more years of celebrating Christmas and New Years together as a family, healthy and happy:) 

2. To my Chemistry batchmates - This year has been very difficult for us, but we did it!:) We are now facing the real world and I am excited on how we will all turn out to be years from now:) To those who now have work, Congratulations!:) To those who have entered med school and will enter med school this coming year - see you!:)) To those who are still looking for one or who are still undecided of the life that they want to have, don't lose hope:) He will always help and guide us. Everything will be in their right places in His own time:) 

Special mention to kate and me-an, board exam-mates!:) shang, shyne,rhoux: videoke ulit tayo!:) og: magmed ka na!:)) i miss you all:) 

3. To my Chemsoc family - As i keep on repeating for years now, college life would be incomplete without you.:) Even though, i have not been present in most of the events this year as an alumna, the memories that I have with chemsoc as a member will forever be a reminder of who I was and who I've become because of all the things that I have learned and have experienced in this and with the help of this organization. :)

4. To my high school friends - especially to the people who I have constant communication with, friends I get in touch with some times and those that I have been with at times especially the people on my 21st birthday celebration, Thank you for the friendship:) it has been almost 5 years since high school has ended, I barely remember what kind of person I was then but no matter how much I've changed or how much you've changed, it feels great to know that despite the distance and the time, the friendship is still there:) 

Special mention to dona bes: we must really go out again:) after graduation mo, okay?:) to kuya james: for the chats and conversations. looking forward for the next meet up and tsismisan:)) ate sam: i'm happy for you:) we have been to much, and i'm happy that you are happy:) and i'm generally happy naman talaga:))

5. To Robert - even though we have not turned out the way we once wanted it to be, who says it's the end anyway? XP as we always say, we never know. :) for now, let's enjoy life and be gay :)) thank you, it has been such a year for both of us:) thank you that because we are friends, ate anne and i are also friends that i have my part time job :)) plus i have my inaanak, andie who will soon be my playmate. haha. kaya naman thank you din kay ate anne kasi kung wala siya, wala akong part time job kapag kailangang kailangan at kay andie!!:) she never fail to make me smile, always:D just by looking at her pics :D weeee :)

To people i've known for years now (especially Salmorin and Cruzado clans, family friends and friends from Roxas) thank you for the friendship, for the love, care, prayers and support always always especially during times when i need them. To my new found friends, thank you too, i'm happy to have you in my life (kung di ko kayo pinapansin, ibig sabhin di ako happy na nakilala ko kayo. haha. joke.) To people, i have failed to mention: sorry!:( i really intend to make this dedics short lang and once again, i think i failed haha. wag kayo magtampo, mahal ko kayong lahat;))

Im looking forward to another good year of fun, love and life with you all:)
