..we went to gardenville to celebrate the new year there..when we arrived, mj was again playing crazy for you..(pare!..ayusin mo buhay mo! hahahaha!)

..it was a very noisy crowd!..everybody was partying and drinking and celebrating out loud!..at the stroke of midnight, all the kids were jumping (hoping they would still grow pero dear!..ikaw wala na pag-asa!)..fireworks were exploding from just everywhere, cameras flashing and couples kissing..and by the way, some people, especially wang, went home with their shirts soaked with san miguel beer..thanks to mang boy (aka mang jose..hehehe..)

..ok, i will try to mention all the people that i would have to thank..again..

..to lek ( who, upon my arrival gave me a shot of black label, thanks pare you're the best!), to nikki (sorry kuya, di kita nabeso baka magsumbong si cielo kay achi), to jay and ayen, to arzee and ate jade, to pareng mj( ayusin mo buhay mo uy!), to zar and bro ej (thanks sa tubig ha?..di ko talaga kakayanin yung black label e), to insan lloyd and yis, to pareng monti (thanks for the pastillas frm zambales), to wang (for entertaining us all night and pare, don't worry, babae lang yun and sabi nga ni nikki tanggapin mo ng panget ka!..hehe!), to kuya ryan and ate rica, to the kids maco, miki, tin, mariz, (cute niyo lahat!..thanks for the new year kiss and greetings!) and to john (thank you so much for making this new year the best new year ever!)..

..goodbye 2005..

..there are many things to be thankful for the past year..2005 was the year of the rooster..it was definitely my year..

..there were a lot of opportunites..some i accepted, some i turned down..there were a lot of trials and challenges faced..at the office, at home and most definitely in school..hehe..but proudly, i made it through all them..

..there were loved ones lost, yet there more people that i met and loved and still loving..of course, i thank God for all the people who stayed with me and that i thank for each passing year..

..there were a some crying and tough times, yet still God replaced them with more joyous and happy times..

..well, goodbye 2005!..let see what the year of the dog would bring me..woof!..:)

..happy new year to everybody!..

..i spent my christmas eve here in our humble home. I had a simple dinner with my family..i missed my dad for not being able to spend Christmas with us..also with my brother and sister-in-law and of course my pamagkins..

..christmas here in lifehomes was not at all a blast..it was a very quiet subdivision (how boring!) hehe..good thing john, lek, and ej went to our place to pick me up para pumunta sa masaya at magulong mundo ng gardenville!..hahahahahaha!..true enough when we went there, a little over sixty persons were gathered at bouganville street..lowtide was playing on the mini stage and pareng mj was singing crazy for you!..his all-time favorite..

..it was a blast!..everybody there was simply having fun..ate jade was walking back and forth to give our tequilla and fundador shots..aaron (who kept on introducing me to his friends as his tita) was giving me beer shots once in a while..and of course, the all-time-well-loved gabby was giving his all-time-walang-sawang-every-weekend-shot of grandma!..whooo!..

..there were a lot of exchanging of gifts, a lot of songs sang, and a lot of liquor drank..there were a lot of joys shared, laughters blurted and yes memories to be cherished and kept..

..and oh by the way, this christmas, I got my diamond ring..(hi cuz, zar and marge!..my friendly female neighbors!)..

..side a free concert!..

..after our christmas party at bf homes, ms. tina, sir gil and i decided to have ur dinner and coffee before going home..(o by the way, thanks to PWI staff for your christmas presents..)

..at the royale place just beside the ever gotesco mall, side a (and for those who still don't know, they are my favorite local artist) was there to perform live for free!..

..i was at a spitting distance from the members of the band but wala!..kinain na naman ako ng hiya ko!..haaay..

..anyway, it was a great 2 and a half concert..and just when i thought they would not play my wedding song, they went...

.."there are times, when i just want to look at your face.......
...i just can't belive that you are mine now.."

..I love the person who sweetly whispered the lyrics of this song to me as we danced sweetly one sunday evening..

Every Romeo has a Juliet
Wishful thinkers have their stars
Hopeless romantics each have a love song
Played on their guitars
But you, you're everything
This foolish heart could ever define
Every wish, every dream, every prayer come true
I feel so blessed to call you mine
You're my you, even more
No one else I'll adore
You're my you, in my mind
Simply one of a kind
You're the one who never fails to brighten my day
My princess in every fairytale
You're my mornin' 'til night
Such a beautiful sight
You're my you
Your eyes, your lips
The touch of your fingertips
Promise me you'll never take them away
For as long as I exist
You're my you, even more
No one else I'll adore
You're my you, in my mind
Simply one of a kind
You're the one who never fails to brighten my day
My princess in every fairytale
You're my mornin' 'til night
Such a beautiful sight

You're the heat of the fire in a cold winter's night
You're a raindrop in June, you're the sun
You're the one, you're my you..

..can't wait till 2009..
