I know this is late buuuuuuuut...
HAPPY NEW YEAR, PEOPLE!!!
heeheehee!
To kick off the new year, I gotta do my year-end picture post.
So... HERE IT IS!!!
[Disclaimer: PICTURE HEAVY! HAHAHA! I didn't realize I put so many pictures until after photoshopping... SAWREE. HAHAHA!]
JANUARY
If there's one thing a Mauricio New Year's celebration is not complete without, it would be firecrackers.
The Mauricio men never fail to fork out thousands of bucks just for a few hours of excitement. It's all good though... As long as no one gets hurt.
So, after a very normal Christmas holiday, we flew back to Singapore on the 1st of January.
January was the last month of our first year in RP.
I never thought the school year would end. MUTHA. We all wasted a whole year learning crap we already know.
Whatev. It's over. We had fun. Kinda. HAHAHA!
All these pictures were taken on the last day of school! HEEHEEHOHOHO
[Eew. January was quite boring, yeah? HAHAHA!]
FEBRUARY
FEBRUARY!!! I went home to Manila for the 4th time since my move to Singapore!
Damn... I've been home more than four times already?! Shit... Think of all the shopping I could've done with the airfare money!!!
DEEEEEMNBOLZ. But WHATEV. I'd rather go home. Home = FUN when you're the only one in the house. HEEHEHEEE!
ANYWAYYYYY... A lot of bumming and chilling was done.
There was a time, Pepe, Giane and I went around Kawilihan and took pictures [upper left and lower right pictures]. SUPER RANDOM but yeah.
FAN TAYMS. Then... there was a sleepover at my house... with happy leaves [the two upper right pictures]
I remember crying, but I don't remember why. HAHAHAHA DAMN. That was so retarded.
Then... those were the days when Maita didn't have Rockband yet so we went to some place that rented out their Rockband set and shit.
HAHAHAHAHA Super lame but yeah... Don't you love how candid and casual Pepe and Kara look in the Starbucks picture??? HAHAHAHA!
So yeah... Feb was super chill.
MARCH
[from upper left, zigzag down. HAHAHA GETS?]
I was still in Manila 'til the 15th of March. On the 2nd, we celebrated Maita's 20th. Then... we had a mini PeSuLoKi reunion.
It was so mini that it lasted only an hour.
Sugar, Ani and Nicole celebrated their birthdays together. This was the first and last time I saw Tiffany for 2009.
I MISS THAT BITCH. She's always M.I.A.!!! HAHAHAHA
On the 15th... I returned to Singapore!
Straight away, I had to start packing my stuff because the rest of my family started moving stuff to the new house.
We were doing some self moving because we's cool like dat, yo!
HAHAHAHA! Anyway... moving wasn't so hard! The new house is only 3 minutes away from the old one. So yeah... I remember having to take 4 trips back and forth moving the big stuff. HAHAHAHA k.
APRIL
April was rather uneventful except for the Sentosa beach trip with my previous classmates.
My lip got busted by a frisbee because my friend intentionally threw it at MY FACE.
The thing is... he was really far away AND it was his first time playing.
WTF RIGHT. Anyway... HAHAHAHA Damn.
The first semester of the new year began and I met AMAZINGGGGGGG people.
I remember my first day... I was put in the wrong class. When I entered the room, I was like... "WHY AM I WITH NERDS"
I was so angry. So I went online to see whether I was in the right class...
I saw an email from my Programme Chair and it was I was in the wrong class!
It said that my actual class was in E24H. So I ran from W6 to E2 just so I wouldn't be late. I entered my real class and told myself... "AH. these are my kind of people."
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! SORRY. I'm a being a bitch. But It's truuuue!!! Anyway... bottom line: AWESOMENESS WAS ABOUT TO BEGIN.
MAY
There was this one Saturday when my entire family was just bored. So my dad was like... Lets have lunch in Malacca!
So, the next day, we drove all the way to Malacca just to have chicken rice. HAHAHAHAHA FUN TIMES.
Then... Erika, Alcine and Jo visited!!! I never spoke to Alcine before. NEVER. Because she was never my classmate, but we bonded a lot!!!
Fun times. The week after that, Maika had a long stopover in Singapore so I met up with her and had dinner at Orchard!!!
I think the week after that, Chany had an overnight stopover here too so we went to Clarke Quay for some bonding time.
It was some major month of visitation!!! Next time you're in Singapore, CALL ME!!!! WE SHOULD HANG, OKAY???
My brother's photographs were displayed in the Singapore Art Museum! I'm a proud sister! HAHAHA!
And yes. May was when daily trips to the Kafi Shyap began. Daily meaning... 3 times a day. One time during first break, one time during our second break and another one after school. DAMN... HAHAHAHA But yes. The Kafi Shyap rocks balls. So many memories were made in that place. HAHAHAHA!
JUNE
June was when major bonding started happening.
Both my parents were overseas sometime during the beginning of the month and Pocholo was in Manila.
It was just Manolo and I... alone... at home. That means... PARTY TIME!!!
So yeah... after that party, we all started to become real close, going to Malaysia and all just to watch Transformers.
HAHAHAHA!
JULY
The first week of July was like... The week of lung killing. We went to shisha twice in three days.
MUTHA. After that I bet our lungs were like... blacker than black. HAHAHAHA
Then... there was also that day we all went to Kin Wai's house after school and we played with these kids at some playground.
HAHAHAHAHA I SWEAR... That was retarded shit. HAHAHAHAHA
Oh! And IGNITE!!!! Ignite was very memorable. Especially for Hazi-q and Janani-o. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Look at them [lower left picture]!!! They were laughing SOOOO MUCH at the LAMEST, MOST RANDOM THINGS. HAHAHAHAHAHA
I wonder why...
AUGUST
Aaaawwwww!!! Doing this photo thing makes you realize how fucking fast time flies... Anyway...
We went to Penang to visit my aunt who was there for a few months. It was a fun trip! Chili crabs in Penang are THE BEST.
HAHAHAHA! Shopping was fun too!!! The Forever 21 store there was better than the one here. WAS, because the ones here are catching up. HAHAHAHA ANYWAY.
The 10th picture is the painting we painted as a class on the last day of the semester. AAAWWW.
It was a shitty ass painting. But we kept telling ourselves that it was amazing. We're cocky assholes like that. HAHAHAHA
See the picture beside the painting? That's Hao Bao Cao. The cat that begs for food from people at the Kafi Shyap. It's a stupid cat. I hate cats. HAHAAHAHA!
The last two pictures are of the time we went "night cycling." OMG. That was a super dumb ass time. HAHAHAHAHA!
Before I tell you the story, please remember that we were desperate and stupid. A shitty combination.
So, Estelle, Haziq Kin Wai and I got to East Coast Park at around 11 and met up with Mark.
We were late so... they weren't renting out bikes anymore. We were sitting outside Mcdonalds just talking about life and complaining about how we had no money and all that shit. Then... two guys came, leaned their bikes against the glass window and then went inside to eat.
THEN... Haziq, Mark and Kin Wai, being the motherfuckers that they are, decided that stealing the bikes and selling them for money would be a great idea!!! Estelle and I, being the desperate retards that we are agreed that they should do it. We told them to meet us like... a mile away from where we were at that time.
Now, the plan was... Haziq would use Mark's bike to lead the way or something while Mark and Kin Wai would steal the bikes. Estelle and I started walking to the meeting point already. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SWEAR. IT WAS SO FUCKING NERVE WRACKING. We were so scared. Thinking about what our parents would do if they found out and all that stuff... HAHAHAHAHA FUNNY.
Anyway... So we got to the meeting place and waited. For around 20 minutes. Then... We got scared so we called them...
THE PLAN FAILED. It had something to do with Kin Wai touching one of the bikes and they both fell. HAHAHAHAHA I SWEAR...
DUMB SHITS. WELL... It's a good thing the shit didn't push through... CONSEQUENCES MAN... I think I'd be in jail or something for being an accomplice. DEMN!!!! AHAHAAHAHHA But yeah... MEMORIESSSSSS. FUNNEH. Die.
SEPTEMBER
SEPTEMBER!!! Back to Manila... AGAIN! WOOOOOT!!!
So... Estelle and Kin Wai took me to the airport. AAWWW SO NICE.
I got to Manila and did a lot of chillin' and grillin'.
Whenever I'm back there, I do a lot of chilling... HAHAHAHA! LABO.
Anyway... yeah. The day before the whole Ondoy thing happened, I went to Maita's org's party! Fan taymz!!!
I remember going home that day... It was raining at around 4am. It continued to rain the whole day and then Manila started to drown.
DAMN. It was sad...
On the plane ride back home, like 2 days after Ondoy, I remember looking down at Manila and you could see flooded streets!!!
Not as bad as New Orleans in the pictures of the Katrina aftermath, but still... It looked bad.
OCTOBER
When I got back from Manila, like... on the day itself, I had to leave and attend E24H's class chalet.
I remember not wanting to go... like... maybe following on the next day or something BUUUUUUUUUUUT yes.
I forced myself to go and I didn't regret it at all! AAAWWWWWW. HAHAHAHA Joke.
So yeah... It was 3 days and 2 nights of teenagers living under one roof. How dirty do you think our place was? HAHAHAHAHA!
DAMN. There were like... ten billion cockroaches man!!! Outside. Phew. Then there was that whole durrty room involving you know who. HAHAHAHA! I SWEAAAAAARRRRRR. WILD. But fun.
The second semester of my second year began. It kinda sucked... I was placed in 3 different classes for my 4 day school week.
IT WAS KINDA CRAPPY TO START MAKING FRIENDS ALL OVER AGAIN but... at least there were people I knew. HAHAHAHA
So... It wasn't so bad. HAHAHAHA!
October was cool because I got Bertrude!!! Bertrude rocks my socks. But I do miss Boberto!!! HAHAHA! Aaaawww... NAT.
My cousin Kara came to visit towards the end of the month. We went around Singapore and for the first time in my life, I saw RED BANANAS. WTF. Did ya'll know of their existence?!?!?! I had no idea!!!
HALLOWEEN!!! It was fun!!! I haven't dressed up for Halloween in AGESSSS. Hazi-q and I went as zombie beggars. Estelele went as a half dead pregnant lady. Janani went as some grim reaper shit. She spent 60 bucks on her costume. CRAZY SHIT.
NOVEMBER
November was really eventful. So many things happened!!!
For my birthday, the Kafi Shyappers all chipped in to get me a [I hope my mother doesn't find my blog. HAHAHA] TATTOO!!!!
AAAAWWWWW SO SWEET. Anyway... Yeah. I've been wanting one since 2007 and I don't know how to save money so I never got one.
So they got me a tat! HEEHEEHEE! THAAAAAAAANKSSSS
There was this one week [or was it two?] that Estelle, Haziq and I went to town almost everyday.
On the 30th, we went to the Esplanade to write on some wishing ball that they set free into the Singapore River for the New Year.
COOLBEANZ!
DECEMBER
CHRISTMAS MONTH!!! WOOOOOOOOT
Holidays for me began on the 20th. That was the day I left for Manila.
Before that, LIFE WAS DEATH. OMG. Every single day, I needed to do something for either of my two productions.
Shit okay.... Every night was a sleepless night.
What more, we didn't get to finish editing for our stop motion video so... I had to do it over the break.
STRESSSSS. It's really hard to work with someone who's in another country okay. Especially when your video is close to a GB and you want to send it over for them to check out. DAMN. HAHAHAHAHA
All's good though! Christmas celebrations with friends and family made all the hard work worth it!!!
I don't know... I think this was one of the funnest Christmases in a while...
Not because of the gifts ha!!! As a matter of fact, I left most of my gifts back in Manila. HAHAHAHA!
Yeah. New year was also fun. I bonded with my cousins like we've never bonded before. They're fun people. I should hang out with them more often. HAHAHAHA
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH.
THAAAAT was my twenty-oh-nine!!!
I had a lot of fun
and I met a lot of amazing people. People I won't ever forget.
Unless I want to forget them of course. JOKE. AHAHAHAHA!
Now, it's time for my resolutions for twenty ten.
Actually, I only have one...
LEARN. HOW. TO. SAVE. MONEY.
Mutha. IF NOT, I'm going to slap my face at the end of the year. SERIOUSLY.
Thing's are going well so far... I saved 5 bucks for the week!
NOT BAD. I'm making progress. My goal is to save two bucks a day.
I CAN DO IT. I BELIEVEEEEEEEEE
So... yeah.
THAT was my 2009. How was yours?
