THE YEAR THAT WAS
How could I ever forget such a productive and fruitful year for me? And I think it's hard to top the events that happened in just a span of one year. How could I beat that?
Here are the highlights of my spectacular year 2004:
1. Feb 27-March 1: went to Boracay... all expenses paid!!! plus I won a DKNY shades worth PHP 8500, a GUCCI perfume worth PHP 2500 and $50 cash, as in dollars. Isn't that a lucky start for the year? It was a truly memorable vacation indeed. Thanks to OPMB website!!!!
2. April 17-18: went to Grande Island in Subic for the company outing... won the amazing race contest...
3. April 30-May 10: my first out-of-the-country... went to THAILAND, MALAYSIA & SINGAPORE... here's the catch.... it was all paid by my "good friend" Devin... isn't he a very nice guy? Even some of my pasalubong, he paid for it... I hope to meet another Devin someday and bring me to Europe... hahaha!!!! Thank you SPYDIE!!!!
4. July- October: Christian Life Program for Singles for Christ... It was a nice and enriching experience... after all, God has given me so much blessings... I think it's high time to give back what is due to Him...
5. September 5-8: went home to CDO to celebrate fiesta... when I went to college, I never had the visit my hometown and celebrate fiesta there... it was too expensive for a three day visit... now that I'm working, I filed a leave and went home... it was nice seeing the people again celebrate fiesta, the parades and the nightly presentations... the sunday night concert was a blast... whew!!!!!!
6. December 21- January 3: went home again for Christmas vacation... also went to Camiguin for two days and enjoyed the WHITE ISLAND and HOT SPRING... it was a nice and relaxing holidays...
7. enrolled myself to gym classes and dental make-over... it was time for me to take care and pamper myself... I want to see myself in a nice shape... also, it was a form of stress reliever for working so hard in the office... I also had a dental make-over by my friend Dr. Rhea Rosales. I am grateful that she has worked hard for my perfect smile. hahaha!!! Thanks DOC!
8. salsa classes... as a dancer, it's nice to learn new form of dances... thanks to Sir Francis, Gail, Gigs, Freda and Vernie.... VIVA SALSA!!!!
9. new friends... I gained new friends in the gym, RTU, SFC and OPMB... it's nice to have new friends around... they make me happy everytime I'm in their company... SHELA, MEG, AYEE and LANI are my gym friends... The RTU Volleyball Team is a bunch of striving athletes who I have given my full support in their games.... special mentions are SANTY, SABTAL and PHLAFE for their loyalty... BONG, ATE CORA, JACK, GLENN, ATE LORNA and KUYA ROGER are the people who guide me in my spiritual journey... my cyber friends in OPMB who I met this year and shared a lot of moments with them (Binibini screening nights, Boracay, Xmas party, parties for the balikbayans)....
10. ERIC, FENDI and DEVIN... they are my closest cyber friends who became my real life friends... ERIC is my everyday chatmate... FENDI is an occasional caller... DEVIN??? never mind... hahaha!!! he's my ex-boyfriend...
11. BONG... I met Bong in SFC... He's my close friend in the community... through him, I met other friends like SANTY and SABTAL... This friend is fun to be with... He's intelligent and proud of his accomplishments... But when it comes to love???? hahaha!!! never mind!!!!!
12. KATE and GAIL... Need I say more??? they are my treasured friends... they are also my officemates... Kate is the happy go lucky type of girl... she has a lot to learn... Gail is the intellectualy matured one and I consider her as the "best" friend I ever had... I shared so much with this girl, especially laughing moments... hahaha!!! Thanks GAIL!!!!
13. ARNIE, my BOYFRIEND... this guy has taught me so much about LOVE... He's the loyal type... although I had my share of infidelity, he stayed and sticked with me... But I've learned so much now... I LOVE YOU ARNIE!!!!!
14. My family.... of course, they are always there to support me...
15. GOD... this year, I got closer to Him... I have strengthened my faith in Him... He has given so much... He loves me so much...
I know year 2004 is hard to beat... But I'm looking positively... I hope that this year would also be a blast!!!!!!

DUE TO PUBLIC DEMAND
It's been a long time since I last visited my BLOG. My friends are telling me to update my entries. Even Gail told me to delete my site because I don't have anything new for people to read.Since the last time I posted an entry, I have so many stories to tell. But I think it would take a lot of time. The best way to concretize all the things that happened? PICTURES... I'll post pictures to let you know what has happened in the past few months... It's better that way, I think... These pictures were taken using my new digital camera which by the way bought without much thinking... While eating at TOKYO-TOKYO, Gail shouted "Jo, bili ka ng camera"... then voila, I had a new OLYMPUS digital camera on hand... hahaha!!!! ENJOY THE PICS!!!
