| | These made my year: (I do think they're in chronological order)
- Kalog (Aby, Cathy, Rosette, Yuko, Kate, and Anna) - They were a different breed of people I usually stay with. And it's not bad. It is new but it's also very warm and unexpected, especially when you're still kinda new in your senior year.
- Cate Blanchett getting double nominations for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in the Academy Awards and winning Best Supporting Actress in the Golden Globes. - It's pretty weird, you know. But she is my favorite actress.
- Making up with my friends - Speaks for itself
- Graduation - The hard work was all worth it. The arguments with Ms Pineda about the school paper, the cramming, the competitions, the research paper, and the projects would be meaningful and would pay off in the end.
- Sarheene's birthday - The last time we'd all be together before college life would start.
- David Cook wining American Idol - Come on... David Archuleta? Ugh. But I still hate the radio stations' abuse of 'Always Be My Baby'. It's not his best song! How about 'Billie Jean'?
- Indiana Jones and the Kigdom of the Crystal Skull - Haha moments. Indy's back. Older, slower, but with a new villain I love.
- De La Salle University, Abegail Castro, Angellyn Ko, Jhana Sulit, Zalde Landicho, Belinda To, Ralph Yu, Raphael Cho, Joren Tan - Although short, the Animo experience will always be remembered. I made a lot of new friends and strengthened the one I had with Aby. Leaving at 6 am and taking many routes to and from La Salle was fun too.
- Finding out that I was reconsidered for UP Manila - May 29th, around 3 pm, PE class. I got a call from Papa begging me to stay in La Salle. Confusion, anger, and arguments followed. This was a miracle.
- The planner Louise gave me - It solved my time management skills. Whew.
- Tina Fey bagging three Emmys: Best Actress, Best Writing, and Most Outsanding Comedy Series for 30 Rock - Tina's one of my favorite people. Other than that, she also out-Sarah'd Sarah Palin in SNL with her famous quote "I can see Russia from my house." She is undoubtedy the world's funniest and smartest woman today.
- UUL and GBox. The 'block spirit' phase. - Short-lived, crazy, and quite fun. Pre-block issues.
- Death of Ye ye - Although devastating, this brought me a new friend in Tessa Trazona.
- The Dark Knight - Posthumously shows Heath Ledger as the creepier Joker. A metaphor about current times.
- Karatula winning in the Skit Nayt - Our org's first major activity. I also enjoyed the Quiapo escapade.
- Dien Castillon, Aeson Dantis, Daphne Maza - New additions to the menagerie.
- My GWA despite my lackluster academic performance - Another miracle. We survived!
- My 30 Rock, Heroes, Ugly Betty, and (gasp!) Gossip Girl marathon - I kind of love TV and when I do get crazy, I watch Gossip Girl. For fun and leisure.
- Barack Obama being elected the 44th president of the United States - Who wouldn't write this as one of the events that made their year? (Republicans) 'Yes, we can' is now a famous quote.
- Richelle Ugalde and Lance Dador - Latest additions to my menagerie.
- Rock the Riles - The 7th of December was so fun and 'exciting'. Bands, photo ops, friends all made my day. Watching Ang Bandang Shirley, Juan Pablo Dream, and Sugarfree with friends was unforgettable.
- Michael Johns in Greenbelt - Swoon and 'in awe' moment.
- Floy Quintos' Atang - A great musical starring Shamaine Centenero-Buencamino and Ayen Laurel.
- Lantern Parade in UP Diliman - Bonding, walking, bonding, and walking. Great fireworks. Hyped up parade. Lots of cheering. Food. Walking.
- Star City and 'Twilight' - Hated the movie. Loved the friends. Partly loved walking and standing in line for 20 minutes at most.
