2009 was a year full of new experiences; but hey all the academic stuffs seemed trivial to all the other things that I have been through. I think I have felt all the emotion there is in a span of 12 months. And the people who have been with me through thick and thin are the ones who deserve all the space and the gratitude as I welcome 2010.

UST family
The snakeys and 3B are the source of my laughter drug. Whenever I am with them, I just forget every bad thing that I feel. All I know is happiness. Enjoying every moment, savoring college life, grabbing every opportunity. They taught me how to be happy while in the middle of a hectic schedule. To lie on the grass while doing a pile of props. To just laugh at our own mistakes. To just laugh it out. To try and try again. To never give up and be optimistic. Thank you guys.

My family

I have never been grateful for my family. They say God chooses the family you'll perfectly belong to, and His choices are never wrong. Maybe there are times that we get to wish to belong in a better family, but one day we will realize that our parents, siblings, and everything about our family is perfect for shaping us in the way God planned us to be. Whenever I feel down and bitter, I just look at them and I say "Why on earth am I feeling like this? I have all the reasons to be happy!" Thank God for my family.

Ghel and my hevers

My friendship with my hevers is not something superficial or founded on constant presence. You know, we don't have to be always seeing each other to keep our friendship strong. We just know that we have each other no matter what. We have surpassed time and distance, and for me that's what makes our friendship beautiful. This year, my hevers have proved how great they are as friends. They let me feel that I have them even though we are apart. They've given me support whenever I needed one. Not once did they turn their back on me.

This was also the year I started being roomies with Ghel. All year long, 5days a week, she was the one who I kept on talking to; telling stories, ranting about school, and just being random. No matter what I said, she always listened -- and it really helped. She knows the exact words to say whenever I am down and needs words of comfort. She boosts my confidence whenever I needed some.

I think we all missed listening to our theme song, hevers :) 



Anne Curtis said it: "When things go wrong, take a moment to say thanks for all the other things that went right." 
So thank you so much, guys! You're one of the right things that went right in my life. You don't know how grateful I am to have you. God bless all of us in 2010 and in all the years to come.
