2009 Year-end review

It's been almost 7 months since I last created a blog. Didn't really have the urge and energy to write down what's on my mind. But really it's just a habit of being an only child, keeping a lot of things to myself.

Since 2009 is about to end, I want to list down all events that have transpired, which are either memorable is miserable.

1. Joined a videoke contest in the office with Dennis Villanueva. It was really fun since it was the first time that I had to go through a tie-breaker round, not once but twice. Hehe. Dennis and I even have our own strategy in singing the songs when we reached the finals.

2. Had my first project cutover in HP with the mySAP NEA Upgrade and Unicode project. A very long project but it was really worth it. Learned a lot of stuff and also made new friends from other teams.

3. Because of that project ^ I lost 4 pounds in two weeks. Then 2 months later I also lost 4 pounds again. I had been in the 140-pound for the past 4 years and now it's down to 132 for the past 4 months.

4. Was able to have my new wedding ring and new phone. ^_^

5. Had my shortest stint in a project, 2 months.

6. Started playing badminton with Andrew and his friends. Because of that I somehow felt that I have improved my game. Lessened the smashing a bit and I can now pick up the shuttlecock using my racket. Hehe.

7. First time to flunk in an important exam. Mental note, 1st never ever cram study because it truly doesn't fit in my system. 2nd, work pressure and studying don't mix together. I think I've reached the extent of my flexibility.

8. First time to have two anesthesia shots in just one tooth extraction. The tooth was broken down to three pieces for it to be removed. When the effect of the first anesthesia shot was gone, I felt the most terrible headaches everytime the dentist tried to pull the tooth. That's why I asked for a second shot.

9. Gaming - Started playing Fifa 10. Spanish League is down and hoping to complete Barclays(English) Premiere League this week. Also started playing Torchlight. Wondering when's the next time I can play it.

10. MJ died. He died even before I get to master a lot of his moves. Darn. Rest in peace to you King of Pop.

11. Celebrated the first birthday of my daughter, who I'm proud to say looks very much like his father. *ehem* Now, I'm waiting for the time that she can pronounce and call me Daddy. She's not as adventurous (took a long time to confidently walk on her own, unlike her brother) her brother but she loves dancing very much as well.

12. My son had his second birthday. He definitely got the looks from his Mom, but what did he get from me? Attitude and his love for dancing. Hehehe. Oh, and he can talk a lot too. =p

12. Finally started to work on that long term goal. Hopefully things will go smoothly and swiftly.

There are a lot of other things that has happened but these are things that stand out the most. I wonder what 2010 has in store for us. Aside, from the national election. =p
