A Rewind of My 2010

Last year, I was not able to write much about a lot of things. Now, its already 2010. Before I move on to another year and make my resolutions, I want to reminisce the things that happened in the past year. It was a very important, significant and memorable year after all.

Two Thousand and Ten. Our Year. 2010.
This rewind is based on my planner and what I remember.

JANUARY.

I thought I fell in love. I learned a lot about false love. I felt the feeling of failure when I was waitlisted in Ateneo. I celebrated when I passed the UPCAT! 2010-24780. BS Chemical Engineering (5 years). Tara treated me a slice of cake at Chocolate Kiss afterwards. Ada and I became an apprentice at the Chemical Engineering lab under Maam Babylin, Sir Jan, kuya Edrick, kuya Alvin etc. I sold shoelaces and other dry goods for Practical Arts.



FEBRUARY.

I tried to push the Tri-Regional Workshop with PSYSC as an RC, even though I was not the chairman of NCR. I had a lot of meetings and bonding moments with PSYSC. I woke up early to cook spaghetti or baked mac and sold it for 35 pesos at school. I made a documentary for econ "Bala O Kinabukasan" which placed 3rd (?), I think, in the ECONVERGENCE at Los Banos. Abe and I sang in Tara Mae's debut. I was able to dance all my crushes in high school in the JS PROM! <3

MARCH.
I received two awards in the Recognition Day: Best in Science & Best in Math. This was the 2nd year I got an award. However, my parent's weren't there. So they just gave me a UP Jacket as a gift. My two aunts came along with my two cousins in my recognition day.

I had an overnight stargazing with UPIS Science Society! Finally, we were able to push through the Tri-Regional Workshop at Phivolcs (March 6, 2010). I delivered a speech in front of many students.

We wore fatigue in the CAT. We were able to finish our English 10 paper and defend it. It was hard bound. Haha. I got my student license but did not use it. We had our BIVOUAC at Camp Capinpin. We had a lot of team building activities with my batchmates in CAT.

APRIL.
I took the Advanced Placement Exam for Math 11 and Math 14 because I was curious. I wanted to know what college exams were like. I tried to take the exam, I reviewed a bit because my parents told me that I should pass the exam or they will be ashamed. I passed both exams.

I had a grand reunion with all my cousins in my mother side because it was the 50th Wedding Anniversary of our grandparents. It was fun. I started the photoshoots. My cousins danced and sang.

I graduated with high honors. I slept in a batchmate's house. I went swimming with owten. I parted with my batchmates. I cried. I learned to let go.

I moved on to college. I prepared my papers. I pre-enlisted. Ready set go.

MAY.
I went to Bohol. The flight was to Cebu, then to Bohol. My father and I had a tour. We went to Chocolate Hills, Baclayon Church, etc. We had a heavenly experience at Alona Beach, Panglao. It was PARADISE. I went snorkeling and I loved the corals. I had an adventure in Cebu City. May 6, I left Cebu and went to Manila and went home and then straight to the freshmen registration at the College of Engineering.

I met new friends. I met my blockmates at facebook. I had bonding with Diane. I met a new friend, Gilleanne, she stayed with us for the month. I had a great time with her. We had a lot of photoshoots and movie marathons. I loved the feeling of having a "sister" at home. Haha.

I went on an outing with the ChE family. I had a lot of fun taking pictures and singing. Hahaha. I did my father's work (data) for a bit of money.

JUNE.
It was the start of a new chapter in my life. I met new friends. I met new classmates. It was not hard for me to fit in. I had a lot of fun with my block, G3. They were cool, crazy and fun. We loved pictures.

I met new people from different orgs, KEM and Engg Soc. My phone dived into the water. HAHAHA. I got a new phone.

JULY.
I tried to apply for an org and then I needed to defer. I cried. Haha.

The application process of PSYSC started. I had a new friend, Jan, that soon became my buddy. I went to the PEP RALLY, UAAP Opening game with Camille and a few blockmates. I had bonding with PSYSC. UBE! XD I watched UPCAT the Movie again. I went to the Freshie Concert.

I started to have a lot of papers because of Eng10. Most of my classmates were Eng Stud majors. Fortunately, I had a new friend, Damian, my Eng10 buddy. :) I did a groupwork with my Geog1 groupmates: ENGGCON. My groupmates were the best! \m/

Mik and I went on a "date" on her birthday. I treated her with an ube cake @ red ribbon. :)

AUGUST.
I had a taste of the deadly midterms and long exams of Math 53 and Chem 16. The so-called hell weeks. I had a taste of Geog 1's fantastic field trip! It was a fantastic bonding experience with my classmates.

I practiced dancing for Diane's cotillion but I wasn't able to participate in the debut. :( I turned 17. I had a simple party with some of my friends at home. :) I think I fell in love. Again?

I did the same mistake.

SEPTEMBER.
I had an awesome month with PSYSC! I was able to be a proctor and checker and emcee in the PSO eliminations. Fun fun fun! It was very nostalgic. I became a facilitator in the MathSciAKa. I had fun with the kids. I was also a facilitator/proctor in the PSO Finals. Nostalgic. BUSOG NA BUSOG AKO SA PSYSC! Ang saya saya. :D

I went skin diving at Bauan, Batangas. I dived 10-20 meters under the sea. We saw a PAWIKAN and we followed it. There were many many many corals and fishes. I love the ocean. I love skin diving!!

OCTOBER.
I had a great APPS NIGHT with PSYSC 10a! I love 10a! :D The practice sessions were bonding sessions. I cooked 4 kgs of baked mac for PSYSC. :)

I did not have a taste of the college finals! Exempted ako sa lahat. :D But I did my English10 paper. :)

I was stuck at home the whole sembreak.

NOVEMBER.
I had a taste of the registration process in UP Diliman. University of the Pilapines.

Back to school! Freedom! New classes. New classmates. New friends. New requirements. New books. New problems. Hahahaha.

I had an overnight planning/bonding session with PUB LOVE of PSYSC. AWESOME! Secrets were.. secrets. :))) I became a part of the e-catalyst team, catalyst anniv team, and psysc song team (piano & vocals).

DECEMBER.
I had a taste of the Physics 71 exam and the VERY DEADLY CHEM 17 EXAM. It was very deadly that it could turn you into a zombie. Hahahaha.

I had an awesome lantern parade and fireworks display. Memorable indeed. :)

I went shopping for gifts until 12mn! (Dec 23). I had a lot of Christmas Parties with CFC. I went to Nicasia for Story telling... I told the kids a Christmas Story.

I had a great Christmas Party with my family and cousins (Dec24). My family went to SM and exchanged gifts (Dec 25).

I went to Bicol, reunited with my cousins and became a princess! I became Ariel from the Little Mermaid. I wore a gown. We celebrated Li's birthday.

Dec31. We went back to Manila. We left 4:30am and arrived home 5pm. We celebrated the new year's eve in a very very simple way. :)

------------------------
A lot of things have happened. A lot of things have changed. There was so little time. Time goes by so fast...

Now it's a new year. I wonder, what's in store for us? What will happen next?

My dear friends, thank you for being part of my life, especially my 2010. I hope and I know you will still be a part of my 2011 and the years to come. Thank you so much. :)
