Top 20 moments of 2009

|
The year has finally come to an end! Overall, 2009 has been... epic, for the lack of a more fantabulous word. I did so much traveling, made so many new friends.. Altogether, it has been great and I'm really thankful for it! To commemorate the year, I decided to write an entry on my top 20 moments of the year. Oh, the memories...

In no particular order...
1. Riding an elephant (Thailand)
I got hoisted by one, too ;D

Okay, I don't have a pic of me touching his hand, but you've gotta trust me on this one :D

I wish I got to play with a mommy tiger, but a baby one is good enough hehe.

Don't be fooled by a dolphin's cute demeanor.. They can actually be pretty fierce!

Parasailing was really relaxing, and jet skiing was amazingly fun.

Edward's been talking about doing this for so long, until one day we finally plucked up the courage and just... took it. It's a great addition to my room now :)

Currently taking care of her while Ed is in Hong Kong. She's a bundle of cuteness!

It was a lot of hard work (7 hours practices, omg...), but it was worth it! First time dancing with Hongers, haha. Made a lot of new friends!

Puta ang ina, khob-kun-ka!

|
(Puta ang ina = Tagalog for 'fuck', khob-kun-ka = Thai for 'thank you'.) Combined, it's 'Fuck, thanks!' Sadly, these are the only two phrases I learned during my 10-day vacation in Thailand and the Philppines.

I'm so lazy to update. Little to no motivation to write this entry, save for maybe my own personal amusement 10 years down the road (FYI: I still read my high school blogs and laugh at my pathetic obsession with Japanese idols back in the day).

The past 1~2 weeks have been quite eventful; for brevity I'll make this more of a photoblog and talk about the main highlights of my trip!
