PANIMULA
I initially found it hard to start writing my year 2009 entry. Back then, I’ve had the comfort of just going through my blog archives and then basing my year end entry from there.

But last 2009, I barely had 4 pages of blog entries, most of them song lyrics, works of fiction and works of positivity. And looking through my Multiply blog, what I found were tons of nerdy chem/love entries written for summer chem survival

Then again, these entries were written with a purpose. I’m the type of guy who finds it easier to put his feelings in song or literature, rather than discuss it openly with someone else (you need to drown me in alcohol for that).

So here goes…

JANUARY
Halfway through January, I was still reminiscing about 2008, 2008 has been such a twisted year (sinusoidal in fact) so it was just too hard to forget about.

So I started channeling my mind to different thoughts such as…

FEBRUARY
…finally having crushes. Yes, the disclaimer in that entry wasn’t true. I had a crush back then but now I refuse to acknowledge who it was. Hehehe. It was kind of a different experience finally celebrating Valentine’s day without someone special. I was with a few friends, and we almost died in LoveRage’s rampage. HAHAHA. We were stuck in UP until morning came. Hahahaha. Grabe lang.

MARCH
Come March I finally was a member to a great distraction from all that single-ness. I finally started working with people I love, and of course, laboratory work started pouring it. It was time to get a little serious for a while until summer came.

APRIL
But then again, work had to take a back seat for a while to help me catch up with all my lost academic units. After I turned 21, I enrolled for summer classes which changed my outlook in life. I met new good friends, bonded with some old, and was exposed to the idea of giving just to make other people special.

My sweetness was then brought to a new level.

I fell in crush with someone who was already taken. For a while, to be honest, that was one of the weirdest experiences I’ve ever had. That is when I totally learned that I should always give without expecting back. And that felt good.

Finally, April, I almost died from panic hahahaha

MAY

I started to have fun with my summer subject. Just to help me get through, I started writing all these chem/love entries.

I also developed the uncertainty principle of love

And finally, I wrote the entry that I believed would help me move on from a previous relationship. Yes, my analogy for moving on has always been walking.

To move on is to keep walking until you bump into someone else. <3

JUNE
June was the start of the crazy weather. So I used this opportunity to write about a previous romantic experience. And it was in June when I started to spend a lot of my internet time on Facebook. By the end of this month, I started my positivity phase.

This month was the month of positivity. I started writing multitudes of entries about my beliefs, hoping to share all the love and positivity I had to all my friends. I even wrote compact versions of these entries as SMSes to send to people each morning. It was a good month. Every morning I had a smile on my face.

AUGUST
August was actually uneventful, until I realized that I’ve finally moved on and have already been enjoying my single life for a while.

SEPTEMBER
This was a crazy month. We spent most of the time trying to look for a new house to move to. When we found one, disaster struck. Ondoy happened, and we had to move to our new house earlier than planned, as the oldness and termites of our previous house allowed water to seep through all over.

Also, September marked the start of me writing entries I Wrote This for You style: like with the pictures, the fewest possible words, but the greatest emotion (for example).

I wrote a burst of entries during October. Each of them, having their own significance, some, out of wala lang. You can ask me to decipher them for you. Just tell me which ones you want to know about, and I’ll see what I can tell you. :)

In this month, I was also able to take one of my first steps in being a Filipino scientist. I was finally (albeit excruciatingly) able to deliver a talk in an SPP Congress, much thanks to my dear adviser Ma’am Jing and teammates Cindy, Art, Millie, Ralph and sir Jeff.

And yes, the latter parts of this month was just too lovely. I got to know my physics friends better through work, alcohol and conversations under the Tagaytay night skies. October also marked the start of a few beer nights with Ephy. Yes. A broken heart copes better when paired with another broken heart.

NOVEMBER
I don’t know why, but November felt like I started a new chapter in my life.

This month I started going out more: eating with friends, drinking with friends, etc etc. Hahahaha.

Also this month I noticed that some friendships were being strained and tested. Harsh much. Hirap makipagplastikan. Hindi pa naman ako ganung klaseng tao

It was November when I finally decided that I’ve really fallen out of crush with a certain someone. :)

And finally, I caught the mega-flu late November. Hahaha.

DECEMBER
No blog entries here. But lots of photos. So, ililink ko na lang yung iba

NIP Choir days <3

VIP Karaoke night <3

Crazy afternoon bondings and evening dinners with ate Lot (sige na nga, with Kaye and ate Nic na rin)

More drunken nights with Ephy and Pat (Antipolo Skies! Woot!)

And some more emotional matters of the heart which I’d rather not talk about here.

Yes, December has been extremely fun and crazy. I guess, it’s a good end to the crazy year 2009 has been.

RIGHT NOW
Right now, I’m optimistic about 2010. A crazy year has passed, and crazier years will come. And I realized that I’m not growing younger, and I won’t be. One more final school year, and I’ll be entering the adult world. So I guess it’s time for me to really start growing up and start acting my age.

NEXT YEAR
Yes, 2010. You will be bringing a lot of changes in my life. But just so you know, I won’t be walking towards you, I’ll be running.

I’ll be running towards you, 2010. Running: it’s like moving on, but much much more exciting.

Wag mo kong dadapain ha. :)

Happy new year everybody. <3
