not really a year end post

hi blogosphere! happppy new year! this is not really the usual lengthy year-end review i usually write when new year strikes, this is a quick post.

to cut it short, here : 

2012 highlight

JANUARY- I don't really remember what happened or what i did, oooh! it was thesis formulation time, nothing special really happened, except for the flourished love life i have way back. haha
FEBRUARY- my 19th bday or should i say, last "teen" bday. usual routines happened, academics and love life.
MARCH- i think i was cramming this time because our final exams were set too early for manufacturing internship. this is also the month i received the letter of US embassy about my scheduled interview. a mini get together also with high school buddies after a long time.
APRIL- holy week, my brother went home and we went to lake cebu. my love life was comatose, nearly meeting its death. april made me so nervous for the visa interview and medical examinations at st lukes, special mention the genitalia exam, the worst exam ever. the last week was a good one, i finally received my US visa and immediately bought my plane ticket to America.
MAY- may 3rd to be exact, i set my steps in America, first state? hawaii. it was such a wonderful blessing from above! having solo international flights, dealing and communicating with people in which language is a barrier, but well, i have overcome all of these. next stop was the sin city, las vegas nevada, had a quality time with my sister and her family. casinos and beautiful lights all over. los angeles was next! hollywood, disneyland, universal, all were great experiences. of course, the ooozing sa lamig, next stop? san francisco! of course with the famous golden gate bridge! so happy at the end, got my green card already, and this makes me a permanent citizen, 5 more years and i'm a dual citizen!
JUNE- busy buying gifts and pasalubong for the people back in Ph. i went to back to Ph for 1st semester, was busy preparing for thesis and academics. 
JULY- my last pharmacy acquaintance party where i did impersonation (lip synching Dr. jones) and placed 4th (out of 12!). i was also the team leader of group Lyra, we won the 3rd place overall (out of 12 groups) not bad at all, right?
AUGUST-SEPTEMBER- I don't really remember specific events here, i think i am still busy dealing with academics and thesis here.
OCTOBER- final exam, last intramurals, thesis defense in a week. i started my manufacturing duty at RDL. and i went back to Los angeles and las vegas for a new stamp in my visa. went "gaga" over shopping and spent $$$$$, the highest so far.
NOVEMBER- i went back to PH for 2nd semester. still dealing with academics and coping up on my absences in hospital and manufacturing duties.
DECEMBER- 3 weeks of  studying and coping up again in duty. last week? the best, i had my elementary, high school and college reunions, get together and Christmas parties, maybe a farewell party too? haha. we'll see.

2012 was the best year so far for me, the best part i can say, of course except having a wonderful family, was my trip to America. i thank You Lord for a great year! cheers for that. i always have You Lord, you never fail me. 2013? what's in you? graduation? pharmacy license? staying for good? we'll see. keep calm and enjoy the rides brought to you by 2013. love you!

ps: i thought this was a quick post, but it wasn't. i talk too much.
