Tags: That is why I write to try to turn sadness into longing, solitude into remembrance.
I didn’t think that in just one year too many things can happen — those that I won’t forget and will eventually forget. *lol* Both made an impact in my life. Those I want to forget, well, I’m just saying that. The possibility of forgetting is slim unless the better things already come. By then it wouldn’t be impossible. ^_~
I had a number of trips which was good. First was Iloilo. ^_^ It was about 2 weeks before my board exam. I wanted to back out, but tickets were already paid. I did some last-minute packing, brought a bunch of notes, and had on thick make-up becuase I had a yearbook shoot before my flight. UGH~ I couldn’t wash it off before leaving the house due to lack of time. I didn’t want to be seen looking like I was punched in both eyes. I wore sunglasses inside the airport, the airplane… Oh yeah, that was the first time I rode a business class on a local flight with PAL. Fufu~ I sat beside an old rich-looking man.
Yeah, I just had to mention that. *rofl*

There was the board exam on the first week of Feb. if my memory serves me right. I had to cram my review in less than 2 weeks because I needed to finish our thesis first . Thankfully I passed. I wouldn’t have bothered to check the results if it weren’t for my favorite professor who sent me a congratulations sms just the morning after the last board examination day. I’m proud to say that I’m one of the 16 out of 52 who passed. w00t!
A few months after, we went to Surigao with all the lolos and lolas from the US of A.
That’s where we also celebrated my passing the board exam. The province is lovely, but it needs more loving from the local government. Better roads, tourist promotions, etc. It’s a great tourist spot. The beach we went to is beautiful! Really beautiful. And the chance of being the only guests in the beach made the stay more awesome than awesome. XD I hope my friends and I can go there this coming year.

Other relatives came to visit the following weeks/months, so I became like a tour guide. *lol* Then I had my 25th birthday. *shock* I feel (and prolly look) older! *lol* I spent the day with Mac and Maru. Not exciting, but being with just them was already enough for me… Back then that is. *lol* Thanks for the ice cream btw.
September, one of our dogs died. I was extremely depressed. I first thought she was going to be fine — that her being unable to walk nor stand up properly was just a temporary thing and that her meds will cure her. I was wrong. We were wrong. Some people shared their sentiments. Some were heartless and even joked about it. May they they be bitten by a lot of cockroaches on their eyes. >_<
I miss you, Allie.
Then a couple broke up. >_> WHen I think about it, what happened is funny. You know and feel that everything’s all right. There weren’t even any fights. All of a sudden, the guy breaks up with you. Why? Even after going out for almost 3 years, he goes back to his ex-girlfriend. I had to deal with an idjut that is still giving me headache. The “vitriol” just won’t stop. Poor idjut. *lol*
Two of my relatives died just within the week when the breakup was still fresh. I don’t know who’s playing tricks on me. ~_~
Band-wise, it wasn’t active as before since I was busy during the first few months of the year, there weren’t much _decent_ gigs to play in (we’re not that choosy, but we don’t really like playing with emo or hardcore bands), and not having a female vocalist was a bit of a problem. Not until I got Carol to join us.
Everything was going great then we had a problem concerning our former male vocalist. That all ended after we helped Carol get the courage to sing by herself. She’s really great and I hope she would stick with us unlike the others who were swayed with their bf or gf. >_>
Christmas party yey!
I also met a lot of people from online including Joiz, Janine, and Karen. Thanks to Plurk and for many other things as well. ^^ Meeting Jaja, Liza, Doy, and Arni has put more fun in my life. Those I didn’t get to mention, well, you know who you are. *huggles y’all*
I got in touch with my childhood friend, Baby, who gives the best advice ever. When she first contacted me, she told me that she heard I got married. Of course I said I am not and I asked where she got that wrong information. From some of our neighbors was what she said. @_@ They prolly confused me with my cousin.

They say to expect the unexpected. 2008’s really been a wild ride and I wouldn’t be where I am now if I hadn’t held on tightly. XD What would happen to me if I let go? Idk & I wouldn’t wanna know. I hope more exciting things will happen this 2009. More good and fun than bad plox. *crosses fingers* XD
