My 8 Favorite Things of 2008

Nothing really special or magical has occurred to me last year. Yet, it enlightens me that I don't feel sad or empty about it. As a matter of fact, I'm happy of the way things are falling into places. I think its one of the better years of my life.

So to commemorate the memories and 'guilty pleasures' that kept me going and feel thankful last year, I decided to post them here. I don't feel like posting or even considering any resolution, I'll just take and make most of the things that will come by this year. I'll just hope that the goods keep on coming!

-Sony Ericsson W890-

And there I was leading you to believe that the things I'm gonna be posting here are all 'redefining moments' and the stuffs. But still, this phone saved my ass from boredom and depression, big time. As some of you might know naholdapan ako just last May. My ipod along with my phone was taken from me. I was so sad and angry because it feels as though I lost a bestfriend. I listen to music all the time and what makes me feel worse is when I recall the efforts I exerted in downloading all the 613 songs that I had there. Good thing that my parents managed to buy me this one. It wont come close to the ipod that I once had but its durability and ease of use makes up for that. Not to mention that I'm taking great photos from this one.


-Candlelighting Ceremony at SMX-

When I look back in the future with regrets that I didn't have enough guts, will and initiative to take up Sociology instead of Nursing, I would find ease and comfort just recalling this major event. It was crazy! I remember going to SMX two hours before the event to help my co-mayors set up the place. We literally placed a lamp and a candle on every 2302 seats for the students! After that I was already bathing in my own sweat but I still have to organize my classmates.

And it was all worth it. I was all smiles during the whole event even though I didn't know who it was that I was sitting next to. Add to that the way we mayors were given emphasis when we entered the hall. We entered the hall last after the students and were given applause. Hehehe. Sorry moment ko talaga yun feel ko importante ako at star ako hehehe. And I will always remember the speech given by our dean and her associate. I was surging with ecstasy and drive after the event that I even decided on being serious with becoming a nurse. Oh, well. . .

-Goverment-

I partied far more numerous times this year than all that of my previous years combined! I don't know but I'm starting to becoming a real club rat! But all of my other partying wither in comparison to my experience at Goverment, the number 1 LGBT club in Manila.

I don't know why. I just feel so at home and at ease there. You could be on your gayest ego and party wild but nobody would take it against you. Not to mention the hot, hot men there
.

-iTouch 16 GB-

I was so ecstatic when I got my hands on this one last Christmas! It was a gift from my parents. I guess they just can't say no to my constant hinting that I'm craving for one. I kinda think that I was asking too much for this, but I can't help it! The songs from my beloved phone are so hard to organize. Not to mention that I'm constantly reminded that the itouch has wi-fi while my phone doesn't. With this, I can browse and check on my site anytime I want when I'm at school! Freakin awesome!

-My Monthly Issues of OK! Magazine-

Every end of the month I would dress to treat myself at Robinsons Malate. Prior to watching a movie or looking for clothes, I would eat at Wendy's or bore a seat at Starbucks while reading a new issue of OK!. It's a hobby that I feel hard to break.

Not that I'm a sucker for celebrity trash, but wait, I am a sucker for celebrity trash, indeed. Hehehe. But not with the local show business. It's just that nacheacheapan ako sa mga issues na napapanood ko minsan sa TV. Last time I checked to see what's on at the Buzz I saw Maui Taylor ranting on how her underwear was stolen. OMG! Having known that someone is stupid enough to steal your underwear was embarassing, but to actually go to a show and tell on National TV how you feel about it is unbearable. I wouldn't want that.

What I also love about this magazine is the fashion section. This magazine is a little bit of everything. Highly recommended if you want a jumpstart for your malling.

-Veronika Decides to Die-

Its my official book of the year. I totally fell in love with this book. If I don't find Beyonce's Sasha Fierce scheme annoying, I would have named my alter-ego as Veronika.

It's just that the book really hit me hard. It's my life. I can't believe that a book that is more popular than critically acclaimed can influence me so much. Humabol nga siya eh kasi last week ko ng December siya binasa. I have Aurora to thank on lending me this book.

-Will and Grace (Season 1 to 8)-

Waaaaaah. Huhuhu. Im so missing watching Will and Grace! I have bought and enjoyed every season of it. The puns never grow old on me.

I remember waking up early in the morning during my lecture days to just prepare a handsome breakfast and watch an episode of it. It's so friggin hilarious! When summer vacation came I practically locked myself in my room to watch it from morning to night. Ganun ako na adik. I find it so hard to move on! Especially when I recall my favorite character, Karen, and all her natural humor. Watching the last episode would have been easier for me if there's a single program out there that can match it.

But there's none. Will and Grace will always be my all time favorite show!

-Alicia Keys: Live in Manila-

This is definitely my main highlight of 2008. I will never, never forget it, not even on my deathbed.

I have idolized Alicia Keys for a very long time. And I never thought, not even on my wildest dream, that I'll be able to see her perform live. True that the tickets were not expensive but I still can't believe it. It brought tears to my eyes when I listened to some of her songs that I only heard on my ipod before. It always give me goosebumps whenever I recall this wonderful night. I still can't believe it really happened as I'm typing right now.

It will go down in history as one of my most memorable moments in life.

-OTHERS-

My First Duty
It was in Bulacan. I would never forget it because I cried that day.

Ma Clara Lying-In Rotation
Hahaha. At dahil yan sa dalawang reason: Na sa first four days wala kaming ginawa kundi matulog. At pangalawa first time kong makakita ng pukeng bumubuka, if you know what I mean. Never been in my life that I was more thankful that I was gay.

Amy Winehouse: Back to Black
Literally the best album I've heard. You can check my review of it in my main page.

Dark Knight
My most favorite film of the year

Pushing Daisies
And that's because Lee Pace is so hot! And it's nice to see love at a very rare and different perspective.

Dlisted.com
The funniest website on the net where you can have your daily scoop of hollywood news.

Towerload.com
My mother site. Jan nagmumula ang mga balita ko about gay rights and news.

Akihiro Sato
Definitely the hottest Filipino model. Nanghihina ang mga buto ko sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mga billboard niya hehehehe.

BSN040
Last but not the least ang pinakamamahal kong section. I miss you all guys!
