Entries for January, 2006
At last, I have gotten around to making a new year`s post -- a little summary of the year that was.
Two thousand five has been a year of transition for me -- from being a student to a college graduated ready to face reality. But as it turned out, reality for me was going to sleep at wee hours in the morning and waking up with half of the day already gone. I was stuck at home practically doing what a bum does, except for the part where I helped around the house. I didn`t exactly like this set up. I felt i needed to do something with my life, as most of my friends were either already working or were back to being students. Now I figure, God was just preparing me for His plans, and He still is.
Year 2005 has also been a year of blessing. My last few months in college served as the final piece that strengthened the friendship me and my college friends share. Our thesis drew us closer together, and now that we hardly see each other, we know we still remain friends. I also graduated as Magna Cum Laude (glory to God), which for me is one of the greatest blessings God has honored me with. The best gift for me though is knowing that as another year has passed, nothing has kept our family from loving each other perfectly. If ever there was a thing such as a perfect family, that would have to be ours. As imperfect as my parents and brothers are, they are the best I can ever have. And i may not have been the perfect daughter and sister, especially this year, I know my parents` and brothers` love for me will never change, which is exactly the reason why I am encouraged to grow and become a better person, for them.
I`ve had my share of adventures too. First, there was our trip to MIndanao. Darlene and I visited Angeline, our classmate in Cagayan de Oro and explored Camiguin all by ourselves. Then there`s our SEAGames "escapades", where I, Chikki, and Shayne got to meet and know our favorite athletes and never missed their games. Lastly, the most magical experience for me was when I was able to spend time with my favorite OPM band, Hale! That was "the best the best" gd ya!
With the coming of a new stage for us, a number of my high school friends left Bacolod. Jecky and Katie now live in the States. Keren and Kadeen currently reside in Manila, for Bible school and work respectively. Farewells are always depressing. Two of my closest church friends have also left Bacolod this 2005. Joni now works in Manila and Ina in Cebu. Goodbyes, though, are not forever. We will all meet again soon.
So that`s it. 2006 will be a new year for me. A chance for me to become a better person and do what I have missed out doing last year. God has yet to change me and turn me into someone He has designed me to be. I know I have disappointed a lot of people the past year, especially my mom, and now is the time for me to make up. God bless us all. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Today is Friday, January 20th. The Backstreet Boys, my childhood heroes and the only boyband in my life (haha.. call me baduy if you wish), are getting down with it right this very minute in their "Never Gone" concert at the Araneta Coliseum in Manila. And here I am at home in Bacolod City in front of the PC, telling myself I should have been there! How sadder could life get? If only I had known about their concert months earlier, I would have begged my parents to let me go see them live. I mean, i`m not an obssessed fan anymore, but I have to admit, they have been a major part of my childhood! And it`s always fun reliving memories. Now I realize, I still heart the Backstreet Boys.. :c
