Thank You, 2007! Hello, 2008!

A whole month has passed since I last posted an entry and as you may have already suspected, I have been busy with so many things. From studying lessons to writing thesis to editing articles to shopping for Christmas gifts, I have been swamped from morning till night. Finally, on the very first day of the new year, I have the time to publish a brand new post.

For the year passed.
2007 certainly gave me a lot of things to remember. From starting the year in a very unusual way to ending it in a very traditional way. Hehehe. The year certainly brought out the best in me. There's just so much to be thankful for...even though I cried a lot, I cannot let the sad memories bring me down.

Too many memories to enumerate...but I'll still try to let you in on the things I'm very grateful for the year 2007:
  • Being Editor-in-Chief of The Scholastican
  • Finally doing a thesis I really like
  • All the sleepless nights that made the end product worth it
  • OJT in Department of Foreign Affairs
  • My baby DELL laptop
  • New bags, new clothes, new shoes, new accessories
  • Birthday celebration with family and friends
  • Bonding sessions with the Silan family (Tito Oliver, Tita Belen, Jan, Jalila and Adrian)
  • Pasalubongs from London (thanks to Kuya Rom)
  • My addiction to NUMB3RS
  • Food, food, food
  • Cutie-cute-cute baby Karl (from 1I)
  • Starbucks!
  • Skype
  • An unusual social life (you know what I mean)
  • Gifts, gifts, gifts and more gifts
  • Numerous ampaos from the Francisco family
  • Going to Elliott Yamin's mall tour
  • Gaining 10 lbs during the semestral break (it's true, it's true!)
  • Completing the Simbang Gabi
  • Arroz Valenciana
For the coming year.
It's too soon to tell what can happen this year, but I expect great things to come. Hahaha! I received a bunch of personal wishes from some of my friends (their names need not to be mentioned). Here's what they are hoping for me for 2008:
  • A love life
  • A "formal" boyfriend
  • A treat from Yellow Cab (c/o yours truly)
  • A getaway trip to Boracay or Puerto Galera
All good wishes...but that's going to take some time before they come true...especially the first two. Hahaha!

With that being said, I end this post with...
