the year that was...

It’s not yet new year, but I have already listed significant happenings for the past eleven months and 29 days.

The first ever automated-elections was witnessed in the country—there were glitches—nonetheless PH people were happy (except the losing candidates) with how the May elections turned out.

P-Noy, as he wished to be called, won the presidential elections. As early as his oath taking, controversies and challenges welcomed the 15th president. The legitimacy of Truth Commission and his appointees, jueteng issues, August 23 hostage-taking accident, untimely amnesties, RH bill, and his colorful love life welcomed the President.

Venus Raj’s “major major” win in Miss Universe.

TV 5’s boost in television competition. (a refreshing alternative to your tv viewing habit)

Entrance

I turned 19 last March. Ha-ha.

Was an EIC for our class-based newspaper, “Th(e)ink.”

The Flame and The Journalese were able to publish. Yay! After all these years…

I was part of the automated-elections. The new system enticed me to participate in the national affair.

We (my HS friends) had a reunion, sort of.

I met the least-likely and most unexpected person that altered my so called “steady-life.” It was a whirlwind. Nonetheless, boy, I was happy to meet you. Meeting you was such a pleasure.

I revived my sleeping blog. Zzzz (hopefully) no more!

There were unexpected twins and turns. Nonetheless, cheers to the year that was! (err, I mean, that is…for it’s only the 29th)
