Goodbye 2008

Mood: Thankful and Looking Forward

Many things happened last year. And there are a million things to be thankful for the past year. Only hours passed when I bid goodbye to 2008. I’ll share the things that marked my year:

• Broadband Connection- At last! Last May, when my mom decided to upgrade our dial-up connection to a broadband. Having broadband, I can watch videos and play songs without waiting for hours to buff!

• Senior Year- June 2008, I entered my last year in high school, my last year in SSA.

• Entrance Exams- I took four College entrance exams. This includes the exams in UP, UST, DLSU and ADMU. Well, in the four exams, the DLSU’s exam was the most difficult!

• Final Dance- I had my last dance with 4Courage last October in our 2008 Intramural. We won the first place! This had been a hard work for us but it paid off.

• Hoops and Balls- I became a part of the basketball varsity and met new friend who are my team mates. I also became the basketball team captain of our team in the intramural.

• Inter-Class Debate- I was chosen by my classmates to be a member of the representing team of our class in the inter-class debate team. Unfortunately, we only got the 2nd place. But this was a great experience for me. ^^

• Outbound Trip- Last November 07, we had a one of kind field trip. Instead of visiting the museums, planetariums and EK, we went nature tripping. We visited Mt. Banahaw Complex 1. We went hiking, swimming and we entered Husgado cave with great difficulty. Another thing that adds to the event was we met four kuyas who made the trip enjoyable. They are Kuya Paoji, Kuya Dolph, Kuya Vince and Kuya Jonelle. Thank you Kuyas!

• The Retreat- We had this changing retreat last November 28-30. This had been a memorable outing for the 4Courage.

• In Love- I’m in love not with the opposite sex but to J-pop and K-pop! I became a HUGE fan of J-pop and K-pop this year even if I knew them for years. But it is last year that I really like J-pop and K-pop. And this is this year that I knew and really love KAT-TUN, NeWs, Super Junior and DBSK. And now I think I’m loving Big Bang, Wonder Girls, Shinee, SS501, BoA and Utada Hikaru!

• Netizen- As a result of having broadband connection, I became a certified Netizen! I spend hours in the computer surfing the net. I learn to love blogging (That’s why I have three blogs that I moderate or contribute. They are the sapphirepearls, batangkpoplover and deariezel.). I also liked reading fanfics (especially YunJae^^). I also join forums.

• Meeting Online Buddies- Because of my recent fandom, I met a lot of people online. They have been a great biddies to me online. Even if we didn’t meet personally, we were bound by our same interest. I am thankful for this. I met these friends at the forum, facebook and blog. The net had been a good place to find new friends for me. (special mention: Debbie unni)

• My Best Online Buddies- For the hundreds of persons that I met online, there are persons which I consider my best friends online. They are Lora and Yvonne. It have been only for months but I learned to treasure them. I hope in mmeeting them someday. I wish this could happen.

My 2008 will not be colorful without these memories. I will treasure them forever. As I say Hello to 2009, I am keeping these memories deep in my heart and always remember them everyday. I hope 2009 will also be a great year for me.
