Year ender

Need to get my creative juices to work, to start thinking about what happened last year, and to blog it all in one sitting.

January: If I remember correctly this was the month when I worked on a video for teachers day. I’m glad to say my hard work paid off.

February: We played at school during TPA week. That’s the only real nice memory I had during the valentines month. And yes, no valentine either.

March: So long 2F, I worked on a video this time a message from the teachers to my classmates. Also studied for the 4^th quarter exams. After the tiring, but fun, second year life, it came to an end with the party at the retreat house. I also remember playing Pinoy Henyo with the teachers once when I came for a visit. We also played at Vainsanity, the batch party of Jaco, Vince and Ogie’s batch.

April: Back to school for me, attending Summer Advanced Classes, and afternoon chess practices. I remember seeing Ms. Kate one day, and her childish tone saying “nerd” to me, and my other classmates. Only nerds study during summer. We also had our Kolumn Bar gig. Worst gig of the year, I think. My Bro’s mustache too, nice gig.

May: We went to Hong Kong ,shopped, went around, Hong Kong Disneyland, SeaWorld (or something like SeaWorld) and the hotel. I also went to intense (citation needed) chess training (according to the coach). I remember laughing, playing basketball, hanging around while the coach is busy screaming at Mikey. Our chess games were scripted, every game had the same moves, so much for intense training. And when the teachers started reporting, we noticed that Coach Jojo spent a lot of time at the cafeteria during lunch *cough* Ms. Jo-anne *cough*. Chess were definitely scripted. I also attended this crazy tournament, I didn’t do well (as if I expected to do well). And how could I forget Anjo’s gang jam? Thank God we found the house before the fuel ran out (Edwin had to push the car to the gas station, but he wasn’t that far away).

June: Back to school, hello 3^rd year. Not bad classmates, I actually like my classmates. During the Month, the thing we prepared for, SOS Concert, finally happened. We raised some funds, and had fun. And this was also the month when I started to dislike the subject I love. Some people know why And, my best blog post for the whole year also was written during this month. > http://solid0718.multiply.com/journal/item/38

July: Birthday Month. NCAA Season starts (which actually ruined my birthday). The DLSU-less UAAP Starts *sob sob*. We also played during the CLAYGO Launching and CL week at the cafeteria. This month, Search-in was definitely the best thing. Tayong lahat, magkakapatid! Don’t be afraid to let them show, true colors.. true colors…

August: Dad’s birthday, first quarter exams. Boring month actually.

September: James Grey arrives, for the unforgettable two week visit. Search-in is cancelled, Milenyo hits the country. What a month. Most notable would be our experience at Metrowalk, Policing Australians and running of for refuge at Paulo’s house (where it was actually more difficult). Fun night It was also my LYC Formation Camp. Lord! Let me in…

October: First Time Faci’s! Search-in Circle 136. Amazing experience. Search-in Cup and Lock-in (My 33 hours of not sleeping is my standing record), and the 2^nd Quarter exams. But definitely, Tunog Dos was the best for the month! Oh yeah! Related Blog Post: http://solid0718.multiply.com/journal/item/41

November: Moms birthday. The Producers, we played during English Week upon the super last minute request of Ms. Tin.

December: Mom and Dads wedding anniversary, Give em’ Rock and Search-in Circle 137 (faci again!). Christmas Season, and New Year.

That’s 2006 for me. What made it was definitely Sabaw and Search-in. These two have kept me alive the whole year, *drama mode* how I’ve faced my days of being extremely emo, when the world would seem to collapse on me, when I’d feel the weight of everyone, but these two make me look forward to a while new day *end drama mode*.

But it wasn’t all great, I had lots of problems during this year, how I stressed myself too much at times, how I think I’m superman who could do anything, and most irritating, how I haven’t lived up to my promise earlier this year, but I can still do it. It’s still a long way till February.

Whether 2006 was fun or not, *drama mode* the memories made this year, whether happy or sad, may have changed me to become a better person. I hope I’ve influenced others the same way. I’ve made friends, lots of friends, gone closer to some of my friends. Despite all the bad things that happened to me last year, there is more good than I think. We tend to remember the band moments but we forget the moments when we have fun. We’re all like that, in a trip to the mall, you will remember the stain on your shirt, a whole in your pants or your bad hair day, but you forget the precious moments you’ve spent having fun with your friends. Let’s remember, no matter how crappy the year was, there is always more good to it. And if you (the reader) has felt anytime during the year, that you we’re alone, I’m sure your friends were there to catch you, and if not I’m sure God was there to save you. That is the ultimate good, God enver left us alone. *end drama mode*

Let’s enjoy the upcoming 2007! There are so much stuff to look forward to! Happy New Year everyone
