isaw

Happy new year everyone!

It's been a blast. I promise myself 2011 will be a bigger blast. I'm starting the year with the knowledge that my platelet is at long last within normal range. (and the crowd goes wild...) hope it stays that way for the rest of my life so I can go back to rock climbing to reshape myself ASAP.

I am seriously in the mood for fried isaw with vinegar, the kind located outside ADFC, outside LNU, outside LVD, outside Sto. Niño church, yes, i'm a big fan and i know the vending spots, well, at least before I left the city.

A lot has happened this year, a lot of good, and a lot of stuff that i'd rather not talk about. The year was awesome, nevertheless.

so, here's 2010 in a box:

firsts:
- first time i took summer classes
- first taste of tanduay (and hated it straight but loved it mixed)
- first time i got stranded on an island (almost)
- first time i had 500mg of steroid in my system in a day
- first time i went home (to the hotel) at 4am (and i didn't even drink)
- first time i spent my birthday in Dumaguete
- first time i drank 5 cups of coffee in one sitting
- first time i had an extra piercing (may plano dumugang)
- first time i had to wear a mask to school everyday in the last 10 years
- first time i stayed home for at least 6 days straight
- first time my platelet went down to 2
- first time i was able to make someone photocopy a whole lot of stuff (for the whole class, each subject, everyday). yeah.
- first time i didn't see my mom for a whole year
- first time i was pressured by my parents to "not study"

not-so-firsts:
- roses from special people
- had fun with friends
- had fun with other friends
- drinks and hangovers
- realizations
- sarcastic comebacks
- a lot of new friends
- was amazed at how friends reach out and care for me when i need it most
- drug-induced anxiety case
- drug-induced depression phase
- drug-induced mania phase
- drug-induced euphoric phase


2011 will be awesome-er for me, I hope it would be for you too. :D
