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. :mrgreen: (BTW, photo credit to Adaphobic.com)

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!
