2004: The Year That Was

i actually typed this at the start of the year but never got around to posting it..

This was the year that were i was able to make many of my dreams into Reality. (No pun intended) It came with a heavy price though.. Last January 8 (the day after my birthday), marked one year to the day that, after four years.. the woman i once called "baby", and i parted ways..

i'm not gonna go all Kris Aquino on you and broadcast the highs and lows of my love life, but it really was a roller coaster ride.. it was the second most difficult thing i've ever had to do.. (with the most difficult thing being losing her that first time)

I had a nice, simple Birthday celebration with my family.. i actually had work on that day.. my directorial debut as a mall show director.. all the way at Dasmarinas, Cavite.. i got back home around 9 pm, and i was really happy to see that my family actually prepared a little something for me.. i was thinking that we'd be celebrating the day after, but they really waited up.. i was really so happy..

I have to admit, after she and i broke up, Things have been simpler for me now.. i can focus more on work.. i finally finished work in a movie.. Pa Siyam was a hit.. i was part of the staging of several concerts, and now, i'm currently directing mall shows for Sarah Geronimo and Bea Alonzo.. not exactly where i wanted to go, but i'm a very patient man.. I'll get there..

I finally moved out of my house and got my own place.. My family has been really great about it.. we had a painting party last weekend.. now my place is good to go! kinda weird being alone, but at the same time, i enjoy it..

another nice story coming up.. hehe..

Last Jan 15 i had a mall show in Cebu.. i came back first flight on the 16th, and went straight to another show.. i was kinda frustrated cuz i didn't have time to fix up my place.. and my mom said she was kinda tamad to do it.. so i really didn't know when i'd be able to move in.. so i decided to check out my place first thing the next day before i went to work... it turns out, the whole time i was in cebu, my family.. meaning my mom, ryan, raquel, and my yaya kit.. spent the whole weekend fixing and cleaning up my place! when i got there, it was spotless! i could not believe my eyes! and when i entered, there they were to greet me! apparently they were waiting the day before, but since i couldn't go visit because of my show, they just decided to wake up 5 am in order to get there before me!

*hallmark moment alert*

i really am blessed to have such wonderful people as my family.. they've been really supportive of me and my career.. after the hell i've been through this month.. i just stop and remember them, and i think to myself, "I'm the luckiest guy in the world"

Now about my house... ya'll are invited!!! hehe
