2005: Love and Lost

The year 2005 was great year for me. There are many experiences where I felt love and sorrow in the months of the year. This year, I felt the cupid's arrow when I met Say Alonzo when I was covering for the NCAA issue of Chalk Magazine. When I first met her, I felt an unusual feeling that made jump for joy but only for a small duration of time.

She became my inspiration in my work and given a different joy in life. But 2005 does evolve around her, but also the death of my brother and some of my college professors namely Professor Orlando Punzalan and Mr. Astrologio. The lost people that I lost this year gave a courage to withstand the trials the life brings. Trying to overcome the trials of life made me feel determined to conquer it and face them with courage.

This year brought oppurtunities for me like freelance writing. It opened a lot of doors and contacts in finding my true calling. In this year, many things happened to me. It made me strong, hopeful and determined to face life that lies ahead.

The year that was ...

The year 2005 was a year full of discoveries, tragedies and trials. This year, several oppurtunities knocked on my door but I did not open. It is a year of DEATH in the family that further strenghten us this past few months.

The year, I was a coward to face my dreams and hope for a brighter future. It is a year of trials in the field of job hunting.
