2008. It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.
That pretty much sums it up. This was the year I went out of depression, I got into AJSS, I almost broke down then got back up again, I secretly cried my troubles away, I learned the art of profanities (O_o), I lost the art of profanities (thank God), I opened up to a teacher, I got support, I was deprived of support, I found peace, I found stress, I got what I wanted for Christmas, I lost a few pounds, I gained the weight back.... Ultimately, it was a roller coaster ride.... (Binkee.... "Sleepless nights!..." Hahaha... ewwwww)
I just got back from a trip out of town. My brother told his classmates we were in Australia... (haha... you wish, man!) We were at the hotel, riding the elevator (riding=playing) and we "met" all sorts of people... (meaning white.) There was this old rotund (speaking in a politically correct manner) chap (p.c. manner again hahaha....) he was singing in the elevator in a high pitched voice.... Then there was this girl, a yankee (hahahahahahahaha.... p.c. again) she just sounded sooooo, foreign... Y'know those Americans who sound soooo American? (don't get me wrong! Their accents are cute... It's just that sometimes you just can't comprehend the words that are coming outta their mouths) Okay so anyway....
Oh yeah! And this was the year that my palate suddenly became soooo picky! It started with Cibo (already a long time ago) and Italianni's (a long time ago too). I thought they were just ordinary restaurants (until my mom gave me the un-guilt-free pleasure of going over the bill to check if the food stuff's correct). Little did we know, it wasn't sooo ordinary. Well, at least compared to Jollibee and what not. Then this year, (our parents held this back from us coz I think they know that if we knew how food tasted here, we'd dine there everytime we go to a mall with one) we met Cyma.
Let me count the ways how I love Cyma: Salads, Pasta, LAMB!..... Everything just comes out and shouts OPA! Hahahahha.... My brother and I were sooo scared the first time we came. It was soooo unexpected... the screaming and the flames and all that crap.
So after those things, we got to do rounds in High Street. My cousin's a chef, so is his girlfriend.... To make the long story short, all the food just went down and suddenly, we didn't want KFC no more.
The Madison Grill!!!! (love!!!) and Sonja's!!!!!!
I wanna try eating at Florabel Co's resto. O_O And prolly eat at Cuillere and Chelsea as well.
And after a pretty looooong time, we finally got a working camera. I, in a huge way, am not vain. I thuper duper love taking pictures though! So there. And umm... yup. there.
2008 also brought me cool stuff! Like competitions and all that crap. Oh and there was AJSS. First day was totally awkward. And pathetic might I say. Everyone looked soooo hahaha.... I was laughing inside. I saw people I knew from previous stuff like Aileen (who was the scary lookin' Chinese girl from MTAP and JME, who always won.... I was soooo scared and intimidated! hahaha....) and Krystella (my stalker whom I saw from UA&P and..... And I don't think you care, do ya? Hahaha... sorry) Plus, I met all kinds of cool people! I learned that you gotta set 3 free.... That Socrates was, is and will always be the real shizzle.... And I learned that when in doubt, check Josh's paper for the correct answer in the Physics experiments.
Super thankful about the ASEAN scholarship. I'll never forget the Indian guy who gave our tests. The thuper cranky Singaporean who always said QUIIIIEEEEEET. Meeting Karla and Erv at the lobby of Trader's. Dude... I was soooo stoked.
I'll never forget the kind of person you guys turned me into. (Rajie, RA, DJ O_O)
Oh and umm the Economics thing where I saw Corr, Aisen and yup there.
And the bonfire!!!!! Hahaha... saw my "friends" (Kief! Dave! Celine! Marco! shout out!) and my other friends who weren't exactly there coz they were Ateneans (You know who you guys are... lmao!) and my semi-Atenean friends.... Hahaha... less than three!
I'll never forget the real friends I found during the camping... How much I just love my patrol... almost all at least. Just coz they're sooo damn normal, fun and un-retarded. Plus Lorraine... hahaha.... And my real friends... Ayena, Xye, Onse..... (Seriously... we gots to change the friggin name, man)
Mmmmhmmmm.... Onse, who's going to Bora WITHOUT me :(
I won't ever forget my senior year, the first 3 quarters at least. Which by the way I hate... stress of having to deal with the drama in school.
I seriously won't forget this one seminar. Karen was sitting beside WYC!!!!!!!!! (:(() And umm the Ateneans (after the Miriamites presented) said Go Katipunan! Then said (After us) Go Commonwealth! (SQUATTERRRRRR!!!!!! Hahaha.... Oh yeah! And I won't forget Kat B lmao... for giving me squatter)
I won't forget how I released all the pain, hurt and suffering in my heart (yuck, emo. hahaha....)
No seriously.
How I forgave.
Myself.
I'm so thankful that my family is the one I have... not a bunch of cro-magnons and what not. And the fact that they're cool and civilized. And morally upright. Hahaha... That they made me this way.
Thanks for my published article :)
Thanks for making ADMU no. 1 in the university rankings :))
And umm... I hope next year would be better!!!!!
