the world pyrolympics display at the mall of asia complex and my family, made my pre-new year celebration!

save for that last days of the year, the only time this year that we're able to spend time together

wealth, love, failure, friends, lessons learned, reality check, extra challenge, tantrum, afflictions, triumph, success story, laughter and many accomplishments,
that best describe the year the high and low of 2005 in my life

December 29, 2005 | soon to open Mall of Asia

March 2005 - ExelLance Awards Night at Manila Intercontinental Hotel

i got 3 cellular phones with 3 different networks (Smart, Globe and Sun)

i stay connected with all my prens, old and new and i abused the use of text messaging, walang humpay ang pag-tetext!

i also had my very first Apple gadget that's my favorite i-pod nano!

see some WEALTH on that hehehe, i was also able to save money and saved another bank account this year

LAUGHTER becomes the best medicine and anti-stress there is! sharing wonderful stories that are funny and obscene! hahahaha

a lot of EXTRA and ORDINARY CHALLENGES

mama got sick and was confined five times this year and i am worried

the financial burden and the AFFLICTION that she has to go through this year but we trust Lord for the gift of healing through prayers and faith

the BEST in me came out, people trust in me, i became a leader, i got good grades and i did well in class, i know there's always room for improvement 

and the best reward that i got is the recognition!

and there were several nominations in different category for the 3^rd exelLance: communication arts award for excellence 

and has won the most coveted award for the best student tv production category in the recently concluded catholic mass media awards,

bested 7 others in that category, our documentary about real, quezon

REALITY CHECK taught me on how to stand and never loose hope, to look back and move forward, to think far and go far, not to lean on my own understanding

and to realize that God designed that for a reason and was his purpose and i am very grateful

the end of this great year is the beginning of a new one! 

welcome 2006! and i wish more peace, prosperity, love, good health and money!

9 Mornings

9 MORNINGS

-ryandgreat, greenbelt 1

for the first time! i've completed the 9 traditional novena mass of simbang gabi! like i'm on a gung-ho mission!

i haven't done that before and i usually have attended 4 or 8 simbang gabi in the past

and that the normal excuse i'm having a hard time waking up too early

there were also times that i skip morning mass for anticipated mass just to complement what i missed

but this year is an exception, i served as a commentator in our parish on the first morning and goes on

one particular morning that was so special to me was while we're having a christmas party at laguna

December 22, 2005 - Partey Tayo

and what seems impossible for me to go on because i'm not familiar with the place

becomes possible when Lord has sent me bazillion of guardian angels that lead me to Immaculate Concepcion parish church in laguna safely

and yesterday, i was with the whole gang! ashti, julius, ping, rebex and arni! for the 8th morning that's after a gimmick from libis

and as of this writing, i just came home from the 9th morning and have completed the mission!

those sleepless nights has paid off

it's my way of thanking Lord Jesus for all his infinite graces and blessings throughout 2005 and for the year to come

thank you Lord! Merry Christmas everyone!

Partey Tayo!

PARTEY TAYO!
-ryandgreat

at one of our movie dates last december when the idea to have a christmas partey was planned

never mind that this happened in the middle of our thesis writing and other production classes in the life of graduating students!

so on that day! we went to school first for our last film production meeting and then headed to laguna for this much awaited partey!

we went there by group! and my group op cors consisted of my peyborit prens of all time! madz, julus, ashti with mariz!

on our way there we've decided a starbuxx break to collect stickers for the planner ;p

and while at the toll gate of slex we saw jayson gainza of the recently concluded pinoy big brother! 

and we all went crazy because julius, madz and mariz were yelling inside the car!

milhsen's group were already there and have prepared some drinks and food and then swim-swim na sila! 

while we're waiting for the others to arrive, 

we've decided to have dinner plus drinks at around 11PM while laarni is having her own moment! ;)

December 16 - DRINKING | the gang! (Photo: Rico Rojas)

December 17 - MORNING | the gang (Photo: Rico Rojas)

and the late comers arrived at 4AM and were almost complete! 

and the "partey tayoooo!" line from mariz! became the official title of this partey

while most them were having fun and harutan,

i slipped to attend simbang gabi, gusto din nila ako ihatid sa simbahan eh mga lasing na sila! hahaha

we stayed there until noontime,

oh we'd the greatest time! that each of us will not soon forget and some stories that cannot be told and some pictures that cannot be posted

because whatever happened in laguna, stays in laguna! hahaha anyway special thanks to ace york for the partey place ;)
