Wow, 2008 just flew by so swiftly and now we welcome the year 2009.
Looking back, 2008 has brought me many life-changing moments. Those moments that made a great impact in my life and will all become valuable memories and lessons in the future. The year started out great although there were few bumps and turns but still, I managed.
Here's a quick walk down memory lane...
January. I got admitted due to dengue. It was most heartbreaking because I had to suffer such disease but not only did it have negative effects, it also became the reason for Nik to finally have the guts to revive our communication- and it did work out well. February. We got back together and I swore that it would be forever (& I'm still keeping the promise). But he left for America. Saad. March. I tried very much to adjust with the situation we were in and it still broke my heart. Classes ended and summer was to begin- a summer without him. April. My Tito passed away. It was such a pain to have lost an important person in the family. We started having summer classes and it became very stressful for me. May. By the end of the month, we had an exposure trip to Dapitan, Dipolog, and Dakak. It was a good way to get away from all the stress and a great way to end the summer as well! June. First day of school as a college sophie- so much stress and new things that I had to face. My Mom left for Baguio to undergo training for her new job in Japan. It was pretty tough because we had to adjust not having Mommy around. July. Nik and I celebrated our first year together (although physically apart). It was great to know that we reached a whole year together and we made it despite the many trials that came our way. August. I turned 17. It was a not-so happy birthday because Nik wasn't there to celebrate with me. I barely had time to do other things because I was too busy with school work. This was also the month that my Mom left to work abroad. September. I experienced some moments in which I wanted to give up in everything that I was doing and in my relationship with Nik. I was terribly missing him and my Mom. October. I came to realize that everything happens for a reason and when it rains, it really pours. :) November. We had our cap and badge. I felt very much fulfilled and proud of myself for making my family proud of me. :D This was also the month that Nik came home and I have never been more ecstatic-- and it still is going on! December. My first Christmas without Mommy and my first Christmas with Nik. It was sad not to have spent Christmas with my Mom but I know that everything that she is doing now is for our family.
And now, the people who have made 2008 a very memorable year...
Daddy and Mommy. They have continued to become my guiding light in whatever path that I take. I thank them for being such great parents eventhough we may not always agree with certain matters but still, they remained supportive and proud of me. It makes me happy to see you guys happy and I love to see that I have made you proud as parents. I will never get tired of doing my best for you and that's what I will always do. I am indeed very blessed to have such wonderful parents like you. Thanks for being the greatest! I love you with all my life. Ate Tanya. This year has made us grow closer together- we need to thank all the circumstances which attached us more. I learned more from you and I do hope that you also learned from me. I came to realize that we are the only ones who can help each other in times of troubles and I know that I can count on you whenever and whatever the situation. You know all my secrets and I'm glad that I can now easily open up with you. Thanks for always understanding and loving me although we may quarrel at times but its quite natural for that to happen, right? You can always count on me when you need me. I love you and thanks for being the magnificent sister that you are. Kuya and Ate Irene. For all that you have done for me. Thank you. Sam and Lou. For the cheerfulness your cute little smiles and giggles bring to me.. Nik. You have never failed to amaze me by your ways. Thank you for being the only person who has truly understood me(besides my family). You continue to make me a better person and I hope that I do the same to you. I give you all the gratitude for being my inspiration to stand up and do my best. I am indeed very blessed to have you in my life. I love you more everyday.. My cousins: Jov, Gheeng, Toshi. Thanks for the endless chit chat, laughtrips, and goofing around. Simply, thanks for the FUN.. Keenah, Jinky, Uchay. My classmates in whatever and wherever. You make school seem very exciting. Hahaha. Thank you for being such great people to me. And thank you for keeping up with how I live my life at school and out of school. I love you all. Chum, Niza, Mayce. You guys are crazy- and that's what I like most about you. You guys let me be the wacky person that I am and I find comfort in being your friend. Thank you! Adrian, Lorraine. We may not get to spend so much time together like we did before but I want you guys to know that you can run to me whenever you need someone to sit down and talk with...
Once again, I do not know what might happen in the year 2009 BUT I am very hopeful that everything may be fine. I expect torments, I expect sadness, defeat, trials and many many winding roads but there's nothing that God would allow to happen if He knows that we can't do it. So, I am being positive all the way. I want to keep that said aura throughout the year. Hmmm as for my resolutions.. I'd better start listing them down now. Haha. All I know is I want to keep a very positive outlook and keep away from the negative. And when I have God with me, everything will turn out marvelously. Trust Him and nothing's gonna go wrong. That's about it.
Have a happy new year, people! :D

I am starting to feel the holiday spirit already. I know its a little bit late but atleast it came to me, right? Haha. I have been busy doing some Christmas shopping with Nik these past few days. We simply just enjoy walking around town, going along and blending in with all the busy shoppers around. Everywhere we go, every department store we enter, is all filled with poeple of different walks of life rushing around and doing what they have to do. Others, simply want to stroll around and enjoy watching other people shop- like us! haha. But we also bought gifts for our friends and for each other which was really fun cause we got to choose what we wanted for Christmas. We wanted to be practical. HAHA and so I asked for a pair of Chucks, which Nik wholeheartedly gave me. Oh yea! And in return, I gave him two Giordano shirts which was his sole request. So to sum it up, we were both ecstatic to have received gifts that we wanted and that we could use. :D Now that's what I call practical. I went out with Nik today. We had lunch together at Greenwich and we shopped for gifts to give to his family. I enjoyed strolling down town with him- not to mention his new look- the mo hawk. Haha. He looked funny but still attractive. :D He also loved my new look- straight hair with chestnut high ligths. It was the first time we saw each other again since we got our new looks, so our eyes feasted on each other for a while. HAHAHA. After the feast, we headed to do some more shopping and plainly enjoyed each other's company. I basically love being around Nik and not seeing him makes me feel uneasy. If only I could spend every single day with him, then that would be heaven for me. I am very happy to be with Nik again-after so long. But I dread the day of his departure again. I know he will be back soon but I have tasted the sweetness of him being around and I would not want to lose him ever. Life has been so blissful with him around and I don't know if I could manage him away from me. Oh oh. Enough bout that first. So, I am enjoying the ecstacy I feel whenever I'm with Nik. Everyday with him seems like heaven. I'm glad I have him, I really am. So much for that- Happy Holidays, everyone! :) Labels: emotions realizations |

I am in the middle of an emotional crisis right now. Depression and desolation are taking over my entire system and I am finding it very hard to cope up with all that I am feeling right now. I need someone to confide in. Gloom just seems to take over me. I need a kind soul to pick me up. God, I need you. I need you so much right now. :c

Reunited. Oh yes, and it feels like heaven. I was lucky Friday last week cause most of my teachers did not have classes with us so I was able to go to the airport with his sister and pick him up. Aww the feeling was great. I was getting nervous and chilly while waiting for his arrival, and when I saw him for the first time (again), my stomach seemed to have made a somersault and I smiled. :) I was very elated to see him and it was then when I thought, "at last- at long long last".
We headed off to have dinner at a restaurant nearby (with his family and friends). It felt awkward at first, but I managed. Lol. Of course I had to. :) The first time I held him again simply gave me shivers. Its as if the whole universe conspired to bring us together. All of our efforts seemed to have compensated. We worked hard to be together again, we have sacrificed a lot of things and everything's just wonderful now. Things could never have been better. :D It only proves that long distance relationships aren't that difficult as it may seem. Yes, you may experience little bumps and turns on the way but I assure you that when your love for each other is immeasurable, then the things you can do to make the relationship work will also be beyond what you can do. Love can move mountains. Even though we were oceans and oceans apart, our love made it seem as if we were together. I now believe that nothing can get in the way of people who truly love one another. No obstacle can be too complicated for people who have the drive to accomplish their desires. :) And when you believe that you can do it, you may come to realize that it wasn't as complex as it seemed at first. As they say, there's no harm in trying. Nothing can be too difficult as long as we aspire to achieve our goals, our desires, our aspirations. And finally, when you have attained what you have yearned for, everything makes sense. Everything falls into place and everything just works out marvelously. Take it from me- I am enjoying every single moment that I spend with Nik and everyday with him seems like an eternity in paradise and I would willingly want to repeat everyday over and over and over again.
