On The Contrary

Just something quick:

2009
(just following my LJ tradition)

JANUARY: 
FEBRUARY: 2009 so far: FULL OF STRANGE SURPRISES
MARCH: I am currently very mad at LJ because this afternoon I made a nice long entry about some news I had, news that my friends needed to know, and now, that post is apparently missing :l
APRIL: I wonder if they were really in town.
MAY: I cannot seem to turn it off
JUNE: So natuwa naman ako.
JULY: that I have grown content spending my days
AUGUST: so I think I need that red, structural tube dress (1,850) and those black peep toe booties with the perfect 4-inch heel (1,600) and that black leather sling/pouch/handbag with silver chains (1,500).
SEPTEMBER: Had we but world enough, and time
OCTOBER: Miko: You never wear color.
NOVEMBER: I woke up from a very strange dream, and I spent the whole morning floating in and out of nicotine puffs.
DECEMBER:


So the year is bookended by silence. Confused-as-fuck silence in the beginning, then quiet and content silence in the end. Not so bad, I guess : )

I've never been happier to switch years. I thought 2008 was fucked up, but nothing quite prepared me for 2009. It was only in the last quarter of the year that I actually felt some semblance of peace. Whew! I am never looking back. A pillar of salt I plan not to be.

So the year is already looking peeky, like a meringue that's ready to go! There's the Berlinale Talent Campus + Backpacking to Prague and Vienna in February. That's three countries in two weeks! That's more than enough for my yearly goal of visiting a new country every year. As if that weren't enough, I just might overdo it by going to Bangkok and Cambodia with Miko, Anj and Nikki. I figure I'll be hobo poor by the end of it all, but what is the point of being 23 if you are going to base your life on bank statements and logic?

I know time is just an illusion and all, but I am glad 2010 affords me a clean slate on many levels. 2008 and 2009 both began with my heart full of uncertainty and mindfuuuck, but this year I know what and who I want, and I am not letting go.

Goodbye 2009! You took so much from me and I took so much from you; it's time for us to end this fucked up relationship. 2010 is going to be great, I just know it :D



There ain't no lover like the one I've got
Ain't no lover like the one I've got
She and I got a brand new start
Gonna give all my love

(BRAND NEW START, Little Joy)

So I was browsing around when I unearthed this ridiculously awesome site nerdfighters.com and it's just so fitting and timely and my brain just exploded from all the awesome so I cried a little bit. hahahaha

In the 4min video featured when you go to the website, the vloggers have managed to include all things in life worth mentioning like GIRAFFES and GIRAFFE LOVING. They also sport the best gangsta sign eveeeeeeer. Yes it's a derivative of the spock hand gesture only more gangsta-y!!!


Now I'm watching all their youtube vids. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Ok I haven't written anything here in a long time cos I don't really know what to say anymore haha but I just feel too compelled, which scares me a bit, to spread the nerdfighter love.

DFTBA!!!!!!!


PS
HAPPY CHRISTMAS! :D
