the pilot

i don’t want to jinx it, but i just feel like 2008 has been good to me.and by good, i mean incredible.

lots of first times and fun adventures.

+the somewhat-chaotic-but-we-had-fun anyway tagaytay-boracay trip > family mode ako dito.the reason why i gained 10 friggin’ pounds (which i already lost thanks to after-six diet and hiphop abs, naman!).bora is divine when it’s not crowded and i really made it a point na memorable ang first time ko….ng pagstay dun. hopefully i can go back again with my friends next time (mahal ko ang pamilya ko kaya lang ang hirap naman kung ganito: “tita, ma, lola…let’s go boy-hunting and get wasted! c’mon!”).i rest my case. =)

++the damn-i-look-good-tonight company event at shang > dahil love ko ang shang at inavail ko ng todo ang buffet breakfast nila na parang wala ng bukas. =)

+++the sheez-this-is-what-it-feels-to-be-an-adult gimik with office friends > hilarious and genuinely nice people+booze+guy who looks like a driver but sings like akon = out-of-this-world fun. i never really thought you’d be able to find genuine friendships in the real word and i’m glad i did. it was such a sweet surprise =)

++++the gawd-i-miss-peyups UP fair experience > aside from the fact that it felt good to be home with my college friends, nothing really beats the fun (or tension) of having the i’m-in-black-therefore-i’m-emo dagohoy and balara boys around thus leading to our get-ready-to-run-in-case-of-a-riot alertness (a skill you would only develop in 4 years of UP Fair, plus the fact that you don’t want to end up in a hospital with a broken skull is a great motivation also).only in UP.aylaveet.

++++ +the still-drooling-over-adam-levine maroon 5 concert > i couldn’t ask for a better follow up to my fall out boy experience last year.the band sounded great and the entire concert was just mind-blowing. to say that adam was sexy (or delicious at ulam na ulam) is an understatement, and he’s surprisingly way more talented than i thought.the araneta crowd was amazing, it was one of those rare moments when you can actually say you can feel the love in the air.

++++++the i-can’t-believe-i-just-did-that surfing adventure > it was overwhelming doing something insanely way out of my comfort zone but it was definitely one of the best times i’ve had so far. i’m still stoked over the fact that i was able to ride the wave but nothing really beats the adrenalin rush of that first long ride.that feeling like i was invincible, that i can do absolutely anything is priceless.di ba, may ganyang pag-eemote? ang saya lang.

i guess all i’m saying is…. i’m happy. i’m happy right now. and it feels good. =)
