007
This year, as any other year, was filled with ups and downs. But if I summed everything up, I can say that I’ve been happy in 2007. This year was not about denying my emotions or the circumstances I’m in but about deciding what I do with them. I chose to be responsible for my happiness. And somehow, I was…and I am.
But I guess I will always remember 2007 as the year I chose to face a certain truth about myself and, to a certain extent, embraced it.

Highlights of the Year
- I graduated cum laude.
- I got through my first year of med school. And I’m beginning to visualize myself as a doctor, finally.
- We formed the new college publication, starting my possible journalism career as the Art&Graphics editor and as a contributing writer.
- My team won the year level quiz bee and I was part of the team that won 2nd place in the college quiz bee.
But I slacked off during most of my second year so I have a lot of catching up to do.
Me in 2008 = 
+ 
!
It’s also worth noting that this has been my most prolific year in my almost 5 years of blogging even though I was only active in April, May, November and December.
Relationships-wise, 2007 was a huge improvement over 2006. I was able to mend broken friendships and establish better relationships with my classmates. I remained in touch with my barkada and I was even able to reconnect with old friends. But more importantly, I shared this year with people I care about.
Though the last few days have been stressful and harrowing, I am left with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. For the the year that is about to end, and for the one about to begin. For another year of opportunities. To love. To change. To be.
As the last remaining hours of the year come to pass, I find myself thinking of RENT. Indeed, there is no other way to measure a year or the entirety of our lives than by the amount of love we have given and by the amount that we have been privileged to receive.
Happy New Year to all! :)
Happy new year! :) Here’s to 2008!
Seasons of Love is in my playlist today.
happy new year! ;)
Good thing that you still get to keep in touch with your friends and mend broken ties. You get to close the year with that sweet smile in your face.
You graduated cum laude? Cool. I’m getting the feeling that you’re this “perfect girl” that everyone in school is looking up. Am I right or is it just me? Lol. :)
Wishing you a happy, safe and successful 2008, Ann! Cheers!
I’m far..blocks,cities,miles away… from perfect. lol
But thank you for thinking so highly of me. Have a pleasant new year!
I can ramble on and on and give you my usual silly long answers… but I’ll just say….
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Catch ya in 2008. And be well.
Wow Ann! Looks like 2007 was full of great of achievements for you.
Here’s too 2008 :D
A nice positive outlook. You inspire me.
Hindi ba dapat mushroom na yung sa Mario para bumubuga ka ng apoy?! Hehehe. Tagal ko na di naglalaro ng Mario Bro. Last ata nung gumagana pa yung “family computer”.
I don’t really reflect so much this time around. 2007 sounded great for you. Hope 2008 will be even better.
Kris> since thus far you’re the only one who knows my lj, you’re also the only one who sees the not so bright side of my life, and the process I go through before I reach all this positivity :)
Yung sa Mario, star kasi magmamadali and mangangarir na ko e. I wouldn’t let anything stand in the way. :3
don’t forget to have fun in everything you do…you’re still young, enjoy life!
happy new year!
Oh yeah, cum laude! Awesome. Just out of curiosity, what med school are you in? Just email me if you want that info to be private.
I don’t know if you know that I’m taking a course that is med related. I’m still thinking if I’ll go for med school once I have graduated. But then, tuition in med schools are way expensive!
Happy new year! :D
Nice accomplishments, hope you do catch that star this year! :D
Ade> sent you an email
Christian> apply for a scholarship, they’re fairly easy to get. :)
happy 20008!

I’d give anything to see Rent on broadway. If by some twist of fate they do a world tour and make Philippines a stop… We need to go on a date for that one. :D
LOL. I love love love the mario graphics. I guess mine would be: Mario + mushroom. ;)
Really genuinely glad to see a shift in your recent entries.
Happy New Year Ann!

We should, definitely! I’m hoping that the they run until I’m rich enough to fly off and see it on Broadway :D
