Okay, so I'm doing a year-ender special too. I'm still ranting about piss though.

Well yesterday after going to Saint Claire's Monastery (or whateverit's actually called), we went to SM Centerpoint to buy some fruits andstuff. After having lunch there, of course, I had to go to thewashroom. The lady before me in the line, well, she annoyed me a bitbecause she was tying her hair up and her hair almost got all over myface. Nothing suss, I tell myself (WTH I'm using Aussie slang now xD).She got in, got out, and annoyed me the second time because she just had to show me that she flushed, meaning, it was still flushing when shegot out. I dunno about you guys but I wait until the toilet water's allclean before stepping out of the cubicle. So yeah, I got in next, andwhoop-dee-frickin'-do, there was a bit piss on the rim of the toiletbowl. Good thing I asked my mom for tissue before I went to thewashroom. It was just... downright disgusting.

Okay, end rant, START SRS BZNS.

2008... hmm. I can't say I liked the year very much. Perhaps I'm onlysaying this because towards the end of the year, that's when so manythings came crashing down. Still, I'm not crying because it happened,I'm ROFLMAOing because it's over. (Yeah, cheap use -- rather, misuse -- of corny quote.)

A lot's happened, though. At the start of 2008 I had the same image asthe year before, still resolved to keep my hair long because, you know,girls like their hair long. Couldn't care less about clothing and wouldput on whatever's handy, though still arriving late at class. Still ananime/manga lover, obsessing over HYDE for all the wrong reasons, butnever delving much into J-music. A rather normal otaku, I have to say.

At the middle of the year I got back into writing, RPing to be exact,got to write out some awesome characters (and sometimes I ask myself,why can't I be as [insert awesome adjective here] as my [insertcharacter name here]?), made new OL friends making friends online isawesome. Got even more into yaoi, perhaps a little too much, but all'swell that ends well. Received a LOT of blessings, too. Plus, this iswhen I started obsessing over oshare kei, got my hair cut, and suddenlychanged into SUPAA KAWAII VEEKAY LOVAA DESU YO. And then there was thesudden pride due to being a past EIC in my high school's newspaper, allbecause it had 'The' and 'Gazette' too. If you didn't get it, I'mtalking about my ZOMGZFANGIRLIIIING over the band the GazettE. Also started appreciating music a bit more.

And then crash and burn -- enter mild depression, self-pity due toself-analysis, and a whole lot of comparing and envy, most specificallyin writing. So many wrong things happened, starting with the death ofmy iPod, ending with my failure (literally, LOL). Regardless, somethings managed to keep my sanity and emotions intact, like being ableto write some yaoi stories which, surprisingly, other people actuallylike, and the new community I belong to.

Above all else, I started feeling His presence a little bit better,though I have to confess I don't read the Bible on a daily basis xD

So many things happened, I can't possibly enumerate everything in here.There was the image change, the new obsession (and going through someheights for that obsession -- talking about spending thousands for amere magazine, people), gain and loss of friends. Shit happened, andwhen I say that, I really mean serious shit.Maybe not to me, but to those whom I hold dearest. If I had the choice,I'd like to have started with everything bad towards everything good,December to January. But of course, He had His plans.

Suddenly there's just less than five hours until the new year. It'sjust another day, really, but once the second hand moves away fromtwelve, you know there's no coming back. Within that second, you cansafely recall things and say, last year was this and that. And now I'm just rambling.

DAMN IT ALL I HATE FIREWORKS. THOSE HELLISH USELESS NOISE POLLUTERSSHOULD BE BANNED. Or at least, the Philippines should invest in quieterand prettier fireworks, like the ones in Japan. Did you know I have ahatred towards fireworks? Now you know. And I can't counter it becauseneither my Gazette or 12012 or Maximum the Hormone music aren't nearlyas loud or annoying as that. Maybe for Mom, it is.

Now to resume headbanging to Zetsubou Billy, because I just learnedhow awesome MtH is.
