I write this post before the new year comes to remember the good and bad things that I have done and that has happened to me this year 2009.
On a general note, 2009 is an amazing year for me. While I hear a lot whining about how terrible their 2009 is, I sit here smiling inside of how good my year came to be. A little recall: 2008 is one of the really terrible years for me. I had enemies, fall backs, insecurities and I forgot the other ones. I promised myself to fix my life come 2009. I guess I did. And that’s how I came to love 2009. Because it made me the person that left 2008 a better, stronger and wiser one.
1. February 21, 2009 is the day I officially became a member of Cebu Bloggers Society. It was in Enovlink, Jones. Mark Monta persuaded me to attend the meeting so I could officially become a member. I braced myself up and went to their meeting. At first I was reluctant to join the group as I was a very shy kid. But good thing I decided to. CBS makes up much of the reasons why I love my 2009. It’s not the events and the freebies. It’s the people that’s important to me now. They absolutely changed me for the better. Thank you CBS.
Most memorable bonding moments with CBS: Overnight @ Vanjohnn’s house, overnight @ McBilly’s, Philippine Blog Awards, iBlog5, Sumilon, Maribago moments, Max/Starbucks hangout, Charity work, Cebu heritage tour, my birthday, Atty.’s birthday, Harry Potter/Avatar watching, Keso de Gallo, Christmas Party and many more. See, I’ve done a lot in 2009 with CBS.

2. As I’ve mentioned, yes I’ve been bad in 2008. In 2009, I came to be at peace and harmony with my classmates and friends at school. I’ve been naughty yes. But I’m trying to change myself. I know I haven’t been ultimately kind & good in 2009 but I know it wasn’t like 2007 and 2008 evil-mode. I’m sorry for those whom I still made fun hehe. And thank you classmates, friends, for making my college years worthwhile.
3. I have come to accept who I am, my limitations, strengths, capacity. I’ve become open to a wider range of possibilities.
4. I’ve visited Manila. I was hoping to go to Manila ever since I was little. And I did last summer. Plus a bonus, Enchanted Kingdom and new friends.
5. I have reached my senior year. And my first semester gave my the lovely INC which is still INC up to now.
6. I’ve gained a LOT of friends but I could pick those who are true. No need for mention but thanks a lot, true friends.
Well those are what happened in my 2009. I know when read here it isn’t a lot but for me it is. 2009 has been good to me. And my last three thank you’s fall for God (for being always there, 24/7), my family (for the TLC) and to myself (for never giving up). I know it is vain to thank myself but wth, I love myself for going through it all, for standing up whenever I fall.
Now let’s look at my plans for 2010. No resolutions for me. It’s not my thing.
7. I pray/hope/wish/dream that I would graduate this March 2010 in flying rainbow and neon colors. Haha too gay. I just wish I could finish on time. Because my graduation is the beginning of my life in the real world.
8. I am so confused (it makes me cry thinking about it, promise) whether to accept the job offer in Manila. I will miss my family and it will kill me to be apart from them for so long. What if I take a job here in Cebu? Would I regret not taking the big opportunity given to me? I will decide if I accomplish # 7 but then again… I wanna cry. I’m still a weak decider.
Yeah those two are the only things I think about for 2010. I’d take it from there and continue living my life higher and higher. But those two must be well decided and accomplished.
As for the personal side, I wish to become a better person in 2010. I need to be. I should be. I wish you my friend would still be there by my side as I ride the waves of 2010. And to my new friends, especially from Tumblr, hope I get to know you more.
I love you goodbye, 2009. Welcome to my life, 2010. Happy New Year kiddo!

Thank you Sid. Cheers!
2009 was indeed a great year for many of us (apil na ku anah).
and based sa akung pgka.ila nimu as a person (though this year lng ta ngka.ila), mura’g lahi ra jd ni nga year for you coz dghan ang nabag.o. aw sakto ba ku bry? hehehe. 
anyway, before pa ku mg.speech dri (kbaw na ka unsa ku ka.drama mu.comment), i just want to tell you nga we’re just here to support you with your decisions bry. ai pwd patas.on akung comment? hehe. here goes…
about sa #8 (manila-or-cebu dilemma), i remembered the homily last sunday. since it was the feast of the holy family, ni.ingon ang pari nga never sacrifice your family for your career (coz of many reasons). honestly, nkahinumdom ku nimu wen he said that. but then again, dli pd ta mka.deny sa saying nga “chase your dreams”/”follow your heart”/”grab every opportunity” ug unsa pa nah dha ky mao pd nai mkpa.happy jd nato. i just hope nga whatever imu decision bry, dli ka magsisi, and that you’ll be truly happy with it.
and i’ll also pray nga mka.graduate ka on time bry. i-ampo lng pd ku ha. hahahaha jowk.
happy new year bry! may you have a better and happier 2010.

Hala nahadlok nuon kos wali sa pari. Pero I’m not sacrificing my family per se. It’s just a year or less away from them then I probably go back here and continue the work. That is if everything goes well. My purpose of going there primarily is NOT to enjoy Manila (my dream) but to be trained. Murag bag-ong grad pa lang ba patas-an na nako akong market value, gets?
And yes I’m not the Bryan you would know me if we’ve met 2008. Swerte ka hahaha.
Happy new year! Good luck to us.
#5 FTW! So, err, UP. Haha. Go complete it!
Have a nice 2010, Bryan Karl!

That’s SCARY. We have to remove our INC asap here since we couldn’t graduate with it! Wah.
Regarding #8, whatever makes you happier jud. Unsaun man na nimo ang money/career kung dili ka happy while earning it. You measure success with the happiness you get from what you do, not from how big your salary is.
Whatever your decision may be, be brave. It won’t be easy either way.

Hi Dar, you’re here. /shock
Regarding #8, I also want it. Really. I’m not up for the salary (though partially I am, slight). It’s the training/experience that I’m truly after. I’ll just have to make sacrifices along the way though but I know everything have its purpose. Thanks very mucho for the advice. I hear you, you are an expert.
Happy new year Dar! Happy Tumbling.
I am praying for #7. Alam ko na kayang-kaya mo yan. Just focus
Aboyt #8, alam mo naman anong say ko dyan
It’s up to you to decide if you’d pursue or not. Give it a year or until your contract ends para no regrets or what ifs later on. It’s a part of the challenge
