(pardon me for the lack of a better title )

I concluded in the beginning of the year, that 2007 has been the year that I dared to do things that I wanted. It was the year of accomplishments and firsts. It was a year for self discovery.

Now, 2008 has come to an end. As I look back in the previous year, it has been emotionally draining. But with all those heart aches and disappointments, lessons are learned.

To help my stroll down memory lane (ahh! the cliches! argh), I visited my blogger account

The first entry was a look back on the previous year. The next entry are poems written out of a crazy infatuation. Haha, enough about that. I have moved on. But because of some silly antics, I don't think, I could bear to see that person.

I graduated April. But didn't attend the graduation ceremony. I think it IS a waste of time.

Got a job on my birthday. Hated the environment. I moved to another job.

Visited the place where I graduated from High School.

I continued attending conventions and other related events. But missed the events in October and November.

Started hanging out with ~amaterasu05 over mugs of coffee

I got 12 anti rabies shots. Our dog bit me. Now, he's dead. Sometimes.. I still blame myself of his death.

I got to meet some people here in Deviantart through ~hackette. I haven't been to the DA chat rooms then. Started visiting the chat rooms September. Met more of them recently.

Did I say that the year was emotionally draining? With all that I've said above, I couldn't see the reason why the year has been emotionally draining.

Behind the list of the list of the things that has happened, there had been tears (lots of them)... and some were just wasted.

I am both crazy and sane, stupid and witty, serious and fun. I am both cold and emotional.

The main thing that I've learned this year is to never let my guard down. It is really hard to gain trust and it is hard to trust.

To all my REAL FRIENDS here in deviantArt, thank you for being real. Thank you for the good and fun times.

There are more years ahead of us... (I hope).. Let us all strive to be better individuals, better artists/artisans. Let us keep looking forward to a brighter day... ^^

I just got back from Toycon(-slash-Talkpinoy meet-up...hehe). To be honest, the event was pure boredom. It was just a freaking bazaar.

But meeting the people from Talkpinoy has been really fun.

~stephfaith, thank you for being there. I would not have the guts to approach the people if you weren't around. I wish we have more time to talk about stuff..(you know what I mean )

~PJ731, saludo ako sa inyo. grabe alindog mo.. wahahahahah..

~Lhege, ok, tanggap ko na. ICECREAM na ako sa 'yo. Grabe ang pagiging hyper mo. Bawal kang mag asukal.

~yu09, ~firegoddess27, ~julsenix23, it was a pleasure meeting you. hehe, ok na ok yung ka-hyper-an nyo. don't worry, it's not a bad thing, mas masaya kung makukulit yung mga kasama.

~Wasudo( comsci ka?! ),~hk-scythe, ~ayatori-meow, ~setheichel, parang mas hyperactive/makulit pa mga girls sa inyo ah.. it's nice meeting you.

~TormentedShopao, hehe.. ang kulet mo! astig ang pagko - crossplay! sana maulet..

=pilandok ( the prutkakteyl king), ~legendaryeiyuu, ~magboboterski, ~rage-oblivion, nice meeting you po.


Funny, I really thought I would shrink in one corner. I seriously have problems in social situations and is afraid of human interaction.

I really had lots of fun hanging out with you... 'til the next con

I have a subbie. Yes, I have a subbie. And I still can not believe it. My past journal entry has shown my desire to experience what it's like to have a DA subscription. It is probably due to envy since my DA friends either have a subscription or had experience having one. At some point, I would like to think, what is with subbies anyway, what's the big deal. Yeah, I sourgrape a lot.

Then, a friend has read my journal. The journal was a single sentence:

"NOW, I seriously want to have a subbie even for a short while. "

And after a short exchange of words, this friend gave me probably the best Christmas gift a friend has ever given me.
It's not because a subbie is what I really really wanted. (There are many things that I wanted more) She is someone i have met through chat, and I haven't actually seen her personally. We have few exchanges through SMS. We have made a connection. We have been friends through the digital world. And I never expected that she would give me something like this. To this friend, words could not express how happy I am for this gift.
I am getting melodramatic. But, really, I am happy and thankful.

Anyway, I am trying out CSS templates and studying how I could edit my journal. Making the most of the 3 months This template is by *trashydragon, just tweked the font colors I am hoiping I could make my own. I need to relearn CSS from my college years..
