the red and blue of me

As I welcome 2009, I remember 2008…

Before I officially welcome the New Year, I want to officially bid farewell to 2008. After all, the year 2008 brought lots of good times and some bad times for me that pretty much changed me for the better.

The year that was 2008, brought some life-altering events for me and my family. Below are some of the highlights:

`January: Mom got married
`February: Brother bought a condo
`Jan-Jul: I learned and experienced the joy of wedding planning
`July 3, 2008: I married the love of my life!
`July: My parents (with their significant others) had a peaceful reconciliation `after 20 years of not seeing each other
`July: I found out who my true friends were
`August: Me and hubby went to the Philippines and spent some time with my sis and bro
`Sep-Nov: I joined the National Karaoke League
`Nov: Me and hubby along with kuya and friends went to NY for Thanksgiving and spent time with my relatives
`Nov: Kuya and Berrin got engaged
`Dec: Spent Christmas with my hubby’s family for the first time

Welcome 2009!!

It's almost June. I cannot believe I haven't blogged since November of 2008. I am not sure why. As usual, I have lots of thoughts/ideas on my mind. I wish I were a writer so I could find a way to write all of my thoughts down. But I'm a techie and a singer so I cannot write. I am going to try to write about what's currently on my mind though..

-my blog
yes, i have changed my blog's template once again. i like this new one. i like the font and color. i think i may have used this sometime long long ago. i also added a video bar at the bottom which only plays videos by matchbox twenty!


-liars
why do people lie? yeah, i know everybody lies. but there are some people who lie so much that they don't even know they are lying. they lie about big things and small things. they lie about people in their lives, their past, their opinions, ideas, etc. i sometimes think that they lie to remove themselves from their own self, to hide from the truth and create a made up world. they are too weak and cannot face reality so they lie. it's pretty sad.


-marriage
married life has been tough. i'm not going to lie about that. it is very tough. i sometimes feel like i am being pushed out of my embryo, my comfort zone, my happy place and being released in to this world of the unknown. i have never been married before so every moment of every day is part of the learning curve for me. it's challenging to be "as one" with somebody who is your complete opposite. every day is full of surprises and new events.
