happy new year! just for the record, i made this 2005 year-ender:
Well, Hello There!
I met loads of really nice people throughout 2005:
the ASEC people
:: hell, i don't really know any of 'em, but they were really nice when they entertained us at ateneo during the ASEC week ::
maria ysabel minase-lagman
:: my little angel, my little princess, my one and only inaanak. blessing ka talaga for us, iyaboo! ::
mr. hein (sp?)
:: driver ni papa (and namin) sa vietnam. haha, he always makes me feel like royalty. always gives gifts. even served me food, as in putting food on my plate kahit na simpleng gawain lang naman yun... ::
pa's other vietnamese buddies
:: they toured us around vietnam. really friendly people. they made us enjoy our stay there. ::
new teachers sa school
:: papa peng! ms. detdet! and yung iba pa...hehe. ayus, almost every class is nakaka-high. sayang only met them this school year, then graduate na ako (if i graduate) ::
the TIBYC and WYD gang
:: my new bunch of friends from around the globe. it was great hanging out with them. they keep in touch with me every now and then, and it matters a lot to me. i love you guys! ::
studio cafe peeps
:: haha! some of the most talented people i have and (probably) will ever meet. the very helpful ones, too--for band competition and concert rehearsals, even though i'm such a loser. anyway, isa pang pizza! cheesy pepperoni ha! ::
tita sonia
:: best retreat, er reco, master i've had (and my classmates would agree, most likely). gave the best recollection ever. cool! hehe. ::
other new friends
:: band ni john (cookies&cream) na sobrang astig, the kids at inchican (especially ang aking beloved one, si benjie, haha), the people at childhaus ::
spongecola
:: yael, armo, chris, and gosh. haha! didn't really meet them, nakasama lang backstage. but they're the nicest guys i've met, very down-to-earth. even my mom says so, and that's definitely saying something! ::
hmm...just a few hours na lang before the new year. will i still meet someone before the year ends? hopefully! haha.
Marked on the Calendar
ang daming nangyari this year, and they're all very special to me:
ASEC Week 2005, 28january
:: Ateneo Student Exchange Council Week 2005. gave me a one-day-experience of buhay college. walking from building to building, getting lost around the campus, having absolutely no idea what the class is discussing. astig! bakit kaya hindi ko nakita si yael noon? di ko pa kasi masyado naririnig spongecola nun eh... ::
quincenera, february
:: haay, almost forgot about this. my 'rents didn't attend it kasi eh. had to go with my tito and tita. 'twas pretty okay naman, had fun with my classmates ::
scholarship grant at BSM, may
:: my second scholarship. first was st. ed's in england, now the british school manila. didn't take it, though. stuck with st. scho. kulasa ako! ::
trip to vietnam
:: first trip as a family. kinailangan pa pala ni papa umalis just to get the whole family to go on a trip together. anyway, a fun experience. and the noodles there--sarap! ::
new school year, june
:: waah! my last year at ssc-westgrove. grabe! no way! haha! my junior year was better, but this senior year is also pretty okay. this would be forever special to me, simply because it was my last year at st. scho. haay... ::

bass lessons, september
:: where would i be ngayon if i didn't take bass lessons? wala siguro ako sa studio, di ako kumakain ng pizza, sablay-sablay siguro ako tumugtog (that is, kung may nag-invite pa sa akin to be in a band)...thank goodness i went against my mom's orders and didn't wait for her to allow me to take lessons! hehe! ::
the YMAD kick-off concert 2005, 12november
:: who would've thought our class would be able to pull off somethin' as great as this? whew! although i don't think i ever recovered from all the stress and fatigue. at least nakatulong kami sa childhaus, and nakatugtog kami in front of a crowd ::
