Woot. I can't believe it's already the last day of this year! I can still remember writing my very first blog post ever (it was a year-ender post, too). And the rest was history!
Okay, I decided to wrap up the events in a chronological order. That way it will be easier to discuss things.
"So, Ian, what happened to you for the last 365 days?"
My 2006 ended so well that when the new year came, I wasn't so okay. Why? Secret. Hahaha.. I had issues with my friends. Some of them. Really. And that went on until the second month where I finally wrote my very first serious blog entry of 2007 (disregarding the January 1st post).
"..but seriously, that transitory period was the worst for me this year.."
I actually said this, and to think, the year was just starting but then I already thought I had the worst [of 2007]. Wow.
It went on for the rest of February.. my goodness. Six more posts 'til I had enough of that crap. Affected? Sort of.
Hahah! I can say this month has been one of my most emotional. I dunno. Because it's the season of hearts? =p Speaking of Valentine's Day, this was the 1st time we (the boys) decided to suprise our girl friends with flowers and a harana. (Was that during our lab class in Plant Physiology?) Well, they liked it.
Ang dami pa palang nangyari nung Feb! Here's more:
- Arlene and her bestfriend [yata] had some problems. Hahah! I'm not sure.. pls confirm
- Karen finally had an internet at home (is this right?!?)
- Chinese New Year! Blythe brought food
- We were addicted to Makel's siomai. Yum yum. Except for Ann, who needed Loperamide
- Lala introduced Happy Slip
- Rosa and I had been regularly attending Mass at the PGH Chapel. The most memorable was during Ash Wednesday. What a day that was!
- Moises, I only saw you once this year. Can you believe that? Come on, surprise me.
March kicked off with our Ecology Trip in UPLB. Rosa and Sith slept over at my place afterwards. Andro's sister won the Bb. Pilipinas title that night, too.
It was Ann's birthday this month! Yehey! 19. But her debut last year was still so clear in my mind. The cover for the US version of the last Harry Potter book was also shown to the public. And of course, what a great way to end our Year 3 Second Sem! Bio's "Hell-Sem". Microbiology, Plant Physiology, Animal Physiology, and Ecology. Beat that! We gathered altogether in a vacant room near DB and had a quick photo shoot. "We rocked this sem!"
I had a summer class this year despite the fact that there shouldn't be any. Field Biology baby.. Woohoo! I spent the whole lot of April planning for our Palawan trip. It was Sickle's birthday, too! He's my laptop, by the way.
I spent the first week of May in Palawan! Oh yeah. I loved it. The whole field biology experience was one of my most memorable event this year. Simply amazing. My group won 1 Best Paper Award (go Black Pearl!) and I was awarded the Best Leader (plus three Kalabasa Awards) Hahaha! When I got back from the trip, I got in touch with my long-lost-friend, Wright (again, at last!). He just made this year more memorable.
June. This month's theme I think was 'celebration'.
- Thesis Madness began!
- Fai's birthday!
- I started watching Heroes. I was addicted to it. Up to now. Woot!
- Wombat Grade 3 was out!
- UP's One Century One Clean University Initiative was launched. I designed the poster for the event.
July. One of my most memorable month of 2007, too.
We (Sith and I) decided to shift to another thesis topic, and ended up doing a bioinformatics-related research. Though the initial idea of the topic (the Bird-flu virus) was just temporary, it still sounded good.
- July 21. Probably one of my most nerve-wracking day of 2007: Half-Blood Prince release date, Grad. Pic photo shoot, Reinzi's birthday, and many more.
Okay.. another emo month.. August.
Undergrad. Sem, Histology and the trip to Mt. Banahaw were the major concerns last September. To get away from emotional stress, I kept myself busy designing posters for myself and friends' Undergrad. Seminar. I really liked what I was doing. I was obsessed with it! Damn. Histology was another story. Histology Week kicked in. We had lots and lots of quizzes and exams every other day of the week.. Talk about toxic. The Banahaw Trip was also amazing.
That same scenes went on the next month, especially when the thesis started moving its way inside the picture. Hell week? Hell yeah. Hell month. Hell forever!
October highlight: Molecular Cell Biology Movie Presentation. Friends Forever! Woohoo.. Hahahahah.. This presentation, Arls and Renk's Birthday Bash, and the arrival of my thesis data plus the fact that I had my 100th post this month made October one of my most memorable this year.
November. Just two words: Pangasinan. Music.
December. I decided to change my blog title to "Ian's Alphabet'. I also began writing about tech-y stuff. How To's, etc. This month I can say, is a runner-up for the Most Emo Month of 2007. Hahaha.. Damn take a look at my December boys -- I mean, posts. December posts.
From hardcore emo, happiness comes hitting you right back on the face.
Why is December happy?
- I'm glad I have forced myself into dancing publicly (*ahem*). Dance Dance Revolution! Awesome. It's a fun way to detoxify (especially after thesis).
- Rosa's birthday!
- Thesis is beginning to take shape
- Vacation! The best December vacation yet.
- I had lots of money. Woot!
- Med App season has began, too.
- And who'd forget this year's Oblation Run? Definitely not me.
- Christmas Party at Arlene's place! Damaging. Hahah!

I have been at my best and worst this year.
Cheers for a new year!
An absolutely NEW year.
For all of us.
