my 2006...

2007 na.

Looking back, i can say that she had been so good to me. Maraming FIRSTs. First Time to do something o kaya'y First Time to be in a place.

I laid out a TO DO list last February, a goal, something to look forward to, something to keep me busy. And I am proud to say that EVERYTHING went well. For those people who have been reading my blog (http://feelingcharmed.blogspot.com) would know that the first half of my year had been so full of lakwatsas, gimiks, out-of-towns, and gala.

Actually, first half pa lang natupad ko na ang mga goals ko:

naakyat ko ang Mt. Pulag










narating ko ang Boracay and did something I never thought that I have the guts to do










revisited Palawan (although I also been able to visit other places there)










Syempre there are some bumps that I was able to surpass:

1. Operation ni Mommy (which turned out to be ok)
2. Nasira si Uno (Canon S1iS). (buti na lang may mga Romeo at Marivic sa buhay ko! thanks)
   
3. and the ending of one of my longest FANTASY-affair.

And of course, there are surprises that made things better:

Trip to Hundred Islands and first time to wear two-piece bathing suit.














Si Mr. Record Breaking Guy











Meeting the guy I so long idolized in the blogging world.









Setting my pretty feet on the sands of Amanpulo











The second half of the year I started laying out another set of goals. I was able to fulfill most of them aside from learning to ride a bicycle and taking photography lessons. Which involves the following:

1. I had a new phone. (A N73 which I named Princess Antonia)
   
2. revisit Dipolog (which I was able to book a flight before the year ended)

It was less gala, less travel for me, kasi i don't have any more leaves left. But that didn't stop me from living a charmed life (ang isang gala, kahit walang pera gala pa rin).


I had my less than 15-minute of being a ROCKSTAR ( a childhood fantasy), when I perform NARDA on stage at Tiendesitas (thanks to Larry! and tin and bade).

Mga Impromptu Lakwatsas that I don't need to be absent sa office (e.g. Tagaytay trip, Pangasinan-Baguio Road trip, RoadTrippers)














The Davao Trip with Rachelle (kung san naubos ng todo ung leaves ko, first time sa Pearl Farm)











Not knowing that there are a lot more surprises waiting to be unfold.

1. Finally after five long years, nakita ko na ulit ang youngest sister ko. Sa amin pa sya nagpasko.
2. Si Rhyana Eunice na pamangkin ko.
3. Nakapagbook na ako ng isang overseas travel for March, 2007.
4. Slowly rebuilding the friendship I thought I lost forever.

My 2006 has been a great year, there are ups and there are downs, pero eto ako... charming pa rin. Syempre things would not be the same if it was not for those people who have been beside me or those people who have hurt me.

I will start laying out plans again for 2007. ewan ko lang sana matupad din. Wish ko lang my 2007 would be as fun and memorable as 2006 if not better.

happy new year!!! :)
