Another year lived. Another year to be thankful for.
Wow. Another year has come and gone. 2007 has been a great year, and I mean great in a sense that it's such a nice roller coaster ride to be in. ^^ (You know, ups and downs altogether?! ^^) I thank God for giving me another year to live, improve and enjoy life. ^^ Well... here is the list of things I thank the Lord for this year (oh yeah... these are the most memorable moments! ^^). BTW, these are listed chronologically. =P- My unforgettable 16th birthday (which is March 11... *sudden realization: I'm gonna turn 17 soon. I can't believe I'm getting another year older!) wherein my parents had a catfight in the car (my mom wants to treat our relatives because it's my birthday and my graduation is near... something which was totally impossible at that moment since we just came from a mall... and my dad just wanted to enjoy the company of the family, the same idea I had. Hey, it's my birthday!) that made me go cry... It's a happy ending, by the way. We ended the day eating at Chili's. A very traumatic birthday. ^^ I can go make jokes about that now in front of my parents, and they laugh too. Hihi. ^^
- My high school graduation from my dear alma mater, Philippine Science High School, a.k.a. Pisay... and I graduated with honors! Weee. The hard work paid off after four years!
- I saw fellow PKMNph people in the O-zine anime fest. ^^
- I had a part in the movie, Pisay (For those who do not know, it's an movie about our alma mater, which was an entry to the Cinemalaya film festival, and indipendent film festival. =P). It's not something major, but I do have a few scenes and speaking parts... Hihi. And my role is far from the real me. haha. I look like a walking decor there. ^^
- CCC (Campus Crusade for Christ) found me in La Salle during my first trimester as a college freshman! hihihi... And I thought it will take a long time before I finally become part of it. ^^
- I was a Dean's Lister in my first two terms in La Salle, with my averages being 3.5 and 3.39, respectively. ^^ (La Salle's highest possible grade is 4.0, lowest is 0.0. 3.0 and above qualifies for the Dean's List)
- I saw my batchmates after graduation for the first time during my first alumni homecoming in Pisay. It feels good to know you actually finished your 4 gruesome (but fun) high school years in that school. ^^
- My bedroom (and our house) was finished in its renovation! The house is cement-dust-free now, and I have a bigger, cooler (whichever definition of cooler you prefer fits the description *wink*) new room, plus my own bathroom! (Oh, the joy. =P)
- I bought my new Bible which is really cute (it has a red/orange/yellow cover!), thanks to the money I saved. ^^ (I know this is kind of trivial, but I love my Bible.)
- I have a new band to add to my favorites. America! I watched one of their concerts together with my dad. I like their music.
- I rekindled my drawing skills, and my drawing anatomy is getting better!
- I finished two books/novels (a big accomplishment for me. ^^). Amy Tan's "The Joyluck Club", and Billy Graham's "Angels".
- I had a long Christmas break, and a great Christmas together with my family at home. ^^
- I saw Patrick once a month, despite being in different universities. I so miss my high school friends.
Those are the ones I remember, and I'm sure there are other little things that I forgot. Nevertheless, I thank God for giving me a great year and another chance to grow closer to Him. ^^ I still lack a lot of things as a person, but He's making me better! Well, till then!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Last post before Christmas...
As the title suggests, this is probably my last post before Christmas, and maybe even for the year 2007. For those who read this blog of mine, you know that I am a sporadic blogger who usually post my insights about life (not the usual happenings). (Okay, I just realized I wanted to make an end-of-the-year praise post for what God has done in my life.) Anyway, here is a comic I made which I hope you guys will appreciate despite my rush in finishing it. Enjoy! ^_^
Have a Blessed Christmas!!!
