2009: The Year That Was

Certainly, there are COUNTLESS things on why I should be HAPPY and THANKFUL for the year that was. And there are people that I would like to thank for making my 2009 worth remembering.

FIRST, to my family especially to my mom who is always there for me, no matter what, through thick and thin, through my ups and downs. I love her so much.

SECOND, to my friends. Ang sarap ng feeling that I had a vast social life. I had lot of friends whom I shared my effing life with. It just proved that I don't have a peoplephobia and I am not an antisocial. HAHA. Hear that?

THIRD, to my blog's frequent visitors. They are the one who inspires me to continue blogging. It's good to know that there are people who actually reads and enjoys my blog. I also want to share that hits already reached 7, 100 now. YIPEE! For me, that a freakin' achievement.

NOTE: On January 8, my blog will be celebrating its 11th monthsary.

FOURTH, to Cammille. Though I'm always giver her headaches (quote and unquote), eh pinagti-tiyagaan pa rin niya ako. How sweet? Siguro ganyan talaga kapag true love. Haha. Thank you Cammille.

PS1. This week, I'll be deleting sheeze links in my blog roll. These are either those who doesn't buzz me for weeks or those who hates me. Tsss... Bye losers!

If you still see yourself in my blog roll next week, then you're a lucky peep. LOL.

PS2. I'll be updating this blog only once a week. On the coming weeks, I'll be busy with my thesis. But, I'll be keeping in touch with the likes of Kuya Ax to seek advices for my thesis.

PS3. Ate Chill tagged me this photo on FB and it made me LOL this morning.

That's me! A skinny little toothpick on the far left. Oh. I'm too shy for this!

Hi 2010. I'm Jubert John. I hope we can be friends. I hope you'll be nice to me before you abscond. PLEEEEASE!

Anyway, ENJOY is the word. Happy 2010 to all of us, folks!

R stands for RANDOM

Do I still need to reiterate that it's just nine days before Christmas? *bells ringing in the background*

I.MEMORIES IN NAGA

The BUTC Pep Squad

I'm going to miss the 10th PNSA- Regional Congress. *sigh* Last December 3, I got to watch the PNSA PEP Squad Competition and I was on Team BUTC of course. I hate to do the story telling; all I can tell is that this was the most heated PEP squad competition I have ever witnessed! Congratulations to University of St. Anthony for winning though I think that Immaculate Conception College of Albay was more deserving of taking home the plum. Meanwhile, BUTC squad failed to penetrate the Top 3. But according to an insider (and as confirmed by Kuya Alfred), we are the 3rd runner up (again? that's also our ranking during the BU Week) WHOOAH! Not bad! At least, we were able to defeat nothing less than University of Nueva Caceres and (the so proud) Aquinas University of Legazpi among others. My salutations!

But, the thing that will be inscripted in my almanac for sometime was the Search for Ambassador and Ambassadress of Goodwill 2009 when "BU spirit" was felt all over the UNC Sports Palace. Three BU campuses (BU Tabaco Campus, BU Polangui Campus and BU Main Campus) cheered together to support our 5 candidates. I got to tell you, I almost lost my voice there. HAHA.

II. THESIS! THESIS! THESIS!

Last week, I submitted three title proposals to my professor in Research. And luckily for me, he approved the one I like the most: "Health Consumer's Perception on RA 9205 or Cheaper Medicines Act of 2008". YIPEE! Now, I can start making Chapters 1 to 3. But, I don't have an adviser yet. I gotta look for one first.

I think four of my batch mates are already scheduled to have their pre-oral defense on Thursday. Whatevs.

III. WASTED VOTES.

I can't vote for Villar. Uh-oh. I can't vote for Noynoy either. Or for any crap politicians for that matter. Because I cannot vote. YES! I won't be able to participate in the 2010 Elections because it will coincide with our Summer Affiliation in Manila. Holy crap! Kapag sineswerte ka nga naman.
I think, all in all, we are 130 - 140 + 3rd year nursing students and I presume 110 or so are registered voters. That will be the same number of votes that will be wasted next year. Sheeze!

IV. END OF DARK AGE

I'm not a celebrity (not yet) and my love life is plain boring. But, I know some of you are eagerly waiting for the end of the "23 Days of Dark Age". Some are quite curious if it will end well for both parties. Well, the "Dark Age" ended shorter than expected. The night before I leave for the Congress, we mutually agreed to stop this whole drama. And the next day, as if nothing happened. We are seatmates on the bus going to Naga and I can say that everything seems back to normal.

Actually, she celebrated her birthday last Sunday. While our friend (her roommate) also notched another year last year. Happy birthday gals. Thank you for having both of you in my life. Hmmm... where's my treat?

***

I'm still ruminating if I will pursue my plan of creating a blog for the 2010 Elections. Hmp. I need co-authors of course.

God bless us and may Erap not win.

I'm BACK!

It's been 18 days since my last post. And being gone for the past two weeks or so made me miss yo a lot. (I expect you miss me too. haha.) I'm just trying to be busy right now. *laughs* Have I mentioned before that I'm taking up a review class? It's a sort of preparation for the Licensure Exam for Midwives. We've started couple of weeks ago, Feb.19 to be exact, and because the review demands 'REAL EFFORTS' unlike in school, we are BUSY (or not). Like right now, I'm studying for our OB exam tomorrow and errrr... dividing my time for the OB exam and hitting the computer isn't a simple thing to do. Take note of that!

By the way guys, I didn't planned that this post will be as BORING as this. My original plan (if you call it a plan) is to make this post SUPER SPECIAL 'coz my "chillspOt" turns 1 month old today. hep hep hooray! You know I'm trying to be happy but I just can't. And the worst is, I don't know why. Maybe because the news about the death of my idol Francis M. still lingers on me. And, celebrating while the whole country is mourning isn't the best thing to do. Or maybe because I've learned that my former girlfriend have already found a new prince. *sniffs* But, I should be happy for her. I should be happy for both of them. But it seems that what I'm feeling right now is exactly the opposite. I can't even smile thinking about it. Am I being too overacting? Maybe not. Or am I JEALOUS? No, I can't be jealous. It's been 3 years and I have moved on (that's what I know). Am I still in love with her? What you think?

Guys, I need to go. It's already 5:30 PM. haha. I'm leaving you a video of singingdork888 singing a boy version of Swift Taylor's "Love Story". You gotta love him 'coz starting today you will be hearing a lot of his songs here.
