It has been a fruitful year for me. 2009 was a year of economic depression, poverty and calamities yet we managed our problems and still wake up for a new beginning. I am so proud to be who i am today and i will never regret the things that i have done the past year. There are many first times and some of them are good and bad. I want to share the highlights of this special year. From day 1 to day 365, i just wanted to do the best out of my life everyday. But its impossible of course coz there is always a time to be happy or sad, time to work, to rest, to grieve, and time to celebrate. Generally, this year is a "last" year for me. Last year in college, last year of a decade, last year to be a kid. So here are some special moments i had this year.
