My year ender blog: First Times

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

All I can say is I've done many first times this year that's why my 2010 is such an awesome year.

I've worked (had my internship) in a media organization wherein I was able to meet new and inspiring people in a world full of issues, gossips, truth, facts and different stories of life. I was also involved in a topic that I hate the most: POLITICS. I was an intern during a hard time. A time when the Filipino People are looking forward in electing the new President/Vice President for the betterment of our country. I learned to embrace the thing I hate the most. Thank you for the Discourse Analysis, Political Advertisement Tasks that were assigned to me during that time. Also thank you for our mentors. Thank you for being patient with us. Making an analysis is such a hard work but they have given me guidance all the way. :) To my co interns, thanks for the newfound friendship and different shares of stories. :)



I met one of my idols in the entertainment industry. TV Host Boy Abunda. :))


I know some kids will laugh at me with this but yes! finally I got to party in a Bar with my friends (Acquaintance Party). Party and dance all night. Stayed up late and had an overnight in a friend's house. It's something new because my Mom never allows me to do that. People who are close to me knows that my parents are strict when it comes to overnights. I was very happy and felt a little bit of freedom! Dolce is in Quezon City and I have to go home in Laguna in an unholy hour, come on?! :))
Anyway, it was such an awesome night with me and my college friends though I had blisters on my feet, a day after :))




Having my Sentinel Family, Being Part of The Lyceum Independent Sentinel, Published Articles. with my loorves the journleftovers :)

I would always rant about how I dream to see my name together with an article I've written on a magazine (BTW, my letter is one of the letters of the month in Meg Magazine this December 2010). And before Sentinel, I just dream to see my literary work on our school paper but God gave me more. He gave me an editorial position that I thought I could not have. I realized how hard it is to be an editor. Hard but fulfilling. I'm also glad that I have an AWESOME FEATURES TEAM:) COOLEST and CONSIDERATE SENIOR EDITORS and THE BEST CO STAFFERS. I thought at first, this would all be work. work. work.. Now, My Sentinel Family is one of the reasons why I still choose to have a positive day though the bus ride every Monday morning kills me because of heavy traffic.




I remember my friend, MJ, would say that her course is AB JOURNALISM majoring in Sentinel. The truth is I feel the same way. When I became part of Sentinel I always worry about our feature articles rather than my Rizal, JPL Reports & (kill me!) Thesis.

Then the Team Building happened, The Sentinel staffers became inseparable. We have different personalities but in one way or another we always find a way to amuse each other. Oh no! I'm really bragging here but they are the most awesome people that came in my 2010. I love them so much!








The Enchanted Kingdom Experience:
I have been to Enchanted Kingdom for the nth time but its my first time to be with my College Friends. The experience is EPIC. THE HORROR HOUSE that until now would make me laugh everytime I remember how much we scream and curse the haunted place. AND THAT ULTIMATE TOWER RIDE!




and of course, My girls are complete in the house. Airiz, Eliza, and Debbie. They'd kill me if they'll see their yagit photo because they're too lazy to take a bath. So let's just not put the photos :) I love them to the highest level of much (huh?!).

And a year ender get together of my High School Barkada. I missed them so much. I even had a long kwentuhan moments with my guy bestfriend,Jendel. :) Bonding with my Bratinellaloorves. <3
What's the first time? My Mom allowed me to go home uber late. :)) Next time talaga overnight na. *crosses fingers*






Happy Happy New Year. Goodbye 2010. Thanks for the new found friends and family. Super thank you for all the rekindled and stronger friendship . Thank You Lord. Thank You for the mistakes committed and for the lessons learned. thank you for the words, phrases, sentences I make. Thank you for the books I've read. thank you for my family. Thank you for everything. I will surely miss you 2010. I promise to be better this 2011. I LOVE YOU. :)









Added to that, is little by little I am making my dreams into reality. I always say that I want to inspire people! I'm so glad when I've seen in a blog post that someone from the other side of the world that I don't even know called me her "christmas miracle" see here Thanks Again for inspiring me to be better and to inspire more people.

The music of my 2010

Music is life. Yes it is. I remember when I was 12 years old, I love Pop Music. So yeah! I'm a 90s baby so I know every boy bands out there. I still love some of them but some also made me "why the hell did I even listen to them before?!"

I'm not a music enthusiast, an expert or whatever. I just know well my favorites but I am more on the song and lyrics person so I got random artists on my playlists. This year I even depend my downloads on the music used in my best loved series. So aside from Glee, I love Gossip Girl's Playlist and The Vampire Diaries.

2010 is one heck of a rollercoaster ride. I can never really tell but because of these songs I've been okay. I survived though some just made me more devastated. Some of

the songs were way too old but they stayed on my playlist the whole year. :)

So i thank them and here's playback time. :)

Taylor the latte Boy by Kristin Chenoweth

This song never fails to make me laugh. So cuute. A breathe of fresh air whenever life's sad. :)

Wreck of the Day sung by Anna Nalick

"I'd cheat destiny just to be near you

If this is giving up, then I'm giving up
If this is giving up, then I'm giving up, giving up
On love, On love"

So yeah, its about giving up but its really a feel good so

ng for me. :)) I also love Anna Nalick's voice.

In Another Life sung by Ashlee Simpson

I don't what year does this song became popular but this year it is included on my playlist. Haha. I love the "IN ANOTHER LIFE YOU MUST HAVE BEEN MINE"

Heartbreak Warfare sung by John Mayer

My loorves song will always be on my playlist! So love him and his songs, too bad I wasn't able to watch his concert. :))

So I just listen to his Battle Studies Album always. :)

Love the way you lie by Eminem ft. Rihanna

Who doesn't even know this song? Come on it was played on YOUTUBE so many times, Radio statio

ns, myx,etc etc

I like the video too. It fits the song though watching the video makes me sick. I even had a discussion with my Kuya that maybe "LOVE LIKE THAT EXISTS..," gosh.

Firework sung by Katy Perry

When I've seen the making of the video, I fell inlove with the song. I said why didn't this song existed before. Many people need this. They need more motivation and inspiration. Im a Katy Perry fan. I know she's tactless at times. Everytime she has issues I'm disappointed but I still love her. Her songs are cool and awesome. Simple and not too trying hard. :) Her album is also the album of my year together with Demi Lovato and John Mayer's Battle Studies.

And this song is also memorable, we performed this song for CASAP

MANIA. HAHA. We're laughing hard while performing because the steps were only taught hours before we'll perform. :))

Differences sung by Ginuwine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISAH6Orzvd4

I just love the song. :) Sweet <3

P.S. Im still not over you- rihanna

This song has been on loop for three weeks. Okay kill me. hahaha. i looove it so much!

Songs many songs

but 3 got my Album of the year :)

They may not be the awesome role models for some people but for me they are. They are just REAL from the reel world. They're songs are awesome too, just the way they are.

P.S. I just hope Demi Lovato will get well soon. I miss her. :))
