finally the previous year was over, and we are now on board a whole new year. another year to experience life, and learn from every experience along the way. my previous year was amazing, positively and negatively. it has lots of unexpected sharp twists and turns. but gladly, i topped it all, and here i am now, still standing straight hoilding my head up high!
i started the previous year with great postive outlook, but then i was so lax and confident from the previous previous year that i overlooked my academics. and thus, i ended my sophomore year in medskul with unpleasant marks, thus i am retaking some of my subjects this time. i am not ashamed to tell you this coz i got nobody else to blame but me, and it was a failure where i learned great lessons in life. but this hasnt put me down for i cannot let anything tumble me over. i rejuvinated myself with a grand vacation, last summer! i went travelling with friends and even alone in some destinations! i gotten myslef extremely busy with travels. i went to boracay and stayed there for 6d/5n with my travel buddy and i had a blast! the best summer vacation i ever had! island hopping, snorkeling, jet skiingt, great foods, all-night everynight beach parties at club paraw, and the best of all, basking in the sun which rewarded me with a great tan! bronze skin: the way i wanted it to be! for those who doesnt like the sun and so desperate to scrape off their epidermis with anything they can hold on to just to get a lighter skin, they called me nognog. but for those who got a life on the beach under the sweet tropical sun, they complimented me for having such a great tan, and even envied me for having it real fair and nice! see the difference of pipol? to make it harsh: the ignorants, and the not! hahaha! just kidding aside, but its true!
boracay wasnt my sole destination last summer. i went to makati to spend a week vacation with my lady friend who used to be my school mate back in college! i stayed in her condo for the entire week, but iv been travelling out of town every other day while i was in makati. i went to batangas, puerto galera, subic and clark! sad thing was, we have to cancel our 100 islands tour due to her unforgiving schedules, but that was fun though! twas also great to have met with some of my old friends in manila. a dinner or a chat over a cup of a great coffee has sufficed all the days weve all missed!
then, the grandest of all; my solo palaqwan escapade. i had it arranged to have a 7day palawan bash! but due to sum flight schedule arangemnts of my airline, i was forced to stay shorter than i planned in palawan. sangat island- a true paradise situated in the prestine waters of coron, palawan was the place i chose to visit. a plrivate island with a great white beach tailored with great stone walls at the backdraft to both ends. and to my great amusement, live wild animals roam its vicinity on early mornings, such as monitor lizards endangered avian species and monkeys which stole my breads, chocolates, breads, and my solo companion: my capri cigarettes!
then, i went back to manila, and had a connecting flyt back to boracay to finish my vaction prior to a start of the new school year. the atmosphere was a lot different already coz summer has ended and the wet season has alredy started, but i was glad to see my travel buddy their with his cousins and one of my cebu barkada who happened to be their also at that time with his officemates! my solo flyt on my return to bora wasnt lonely as i figured it. twas fun, but honestly, not as much as hte 1st!
as the saying goes: everything has its end. so as my vacation. i packed my things back to my travel bag and boarded the plane which took me back here in cebu for yet another gruesome school year in the medical school!
academics wnt all so fine! has made more friends, and had been, finally, workin out again at fitness first.
then came dec10: the day which took me by surprise! very surprised!
as the president of our dormitory, i scheduled that day for the 1st ever dormitory open house. and so, just like any dormer, i was all so excited for this day. but prior to this, i received an invitation from a previous colleague and a great friend for her wedding which was also set on this day. and so, as i woke up to prepare to face my daqy ahead over a great dormitory project, i was greeted with multiple text messages, and missed calls: my uncle sam died. i was told he committed suicide, but only to find out, he was murdered by some corrupt assholes!!! i was so down and depressed all thru dec10. but then, another sharp turn hit me prior to the end of that day. dec10, 11:46PM, the date and time i was committed to a relationship… life indeed is so full o surprises! i could never treat any upcoming dec10 as just an ordinary day to for ever in my life, iv never been surprised as i was last dec10, 2005! this has brought a new meaning to my life that i will forver carry, treasure and remember!
the came the yuletide season. i thought that my family’s yuletide would be gloom and dull due to the loss of one of our closest relative, my uncle sammy. but it turned to be great. me and my cousinsd and sister did all the bakings and preparations for both the noche buena and buena noche which my uncle used to do. we took it as our tribute to our uncle who went ahead to his creator. twas both sad and fun! my apologies, for only i can understand that statement.
and so, finally, 2006 arrived. i greeted it with sheer fun with my family at the buena noche. but then i have to rest since i was schedule to fly back here in cebu on the very first day of the new year to prepare for my exams on the 1st week of classes! but prior to my flyt, i heared mass with my family, and had a pleasant flyt back here in cebu.
january 01, was another new and different day for me, for upon my arrival, a friend and his family met me up and went malling for a little while adn invited me to attend a service in their church and i sincerely took the invitation and was so greatfull after the service for it was truelly a spirit filled worship! in all honesty, i attended three masses last jan1, 06. a catholic mass with my family in the mornig, and two services in a born again church with my friends and their family in the evening and afternoon of that same day! a totally different and soul norturing day for me!
i started this year so ryt, i know. and i am expecting another grand year for the days to come. more twists and turns, a jolly but hair raising roller coster ride perhaps. but no matter what, i beleive that i would once again survive it ol, watever its gna be, for i have with me my savior all the time!
thank you dear lord for the wonderfull year of 2005!
