Anyway, since I was too preoccupied this month, Imma give you a gist of the things that I had. I'll be summing it up even though it's not really the end of January, just because I don't think I'll have the time again after this. I'll try to update as much as I could though (just what I always say. Hihi!).
This month, I've experienced a lot of firsts (and lasts, I guess), and I think it's worth sharing. So, with no more further adieu, here it goes:
- My first legit inaanak/Godson - It was a pretty memorable experience, having the kid in my arms and you know, having this notion that you're somewhat a grown up, because I've been trusted to have a godson already. I don't know if that really made sense, but nawh. I think I'll be grasping that idea anyway.
- My first job offer of some sort - I received a call a week ago from Summit Media, asking me if I would like to apply as a freelancer for them. Of course, I immediately said yes and sent in my resume through their e-mail. I was also asked by my mom's colleague who'll be starting up an architecture firm of some sort to be their writer-ish and events planner as well. She's kinda certain that she'll hire me, which is pretty scary but definitely nice. It's overwhelming and heart warming that I got to have offers even though I still have to crawl for my graduation this April. I hope I won't be jinxed or something. Haha!
- The first time I was able to call myself a legit biker - A few months back, my dad used to give me biking lessons (since I'm such a sucker that I wasn't really able to learn how to ride a bike when I was a kid). After a few days, I was finally advancing but I decided to stop. My neighbor told me that "ang galing na ah. Marunong na mag-bike" (wow, you're learning how to ride a bike -- I dunno if this is the accurate translation. Haha), and I hate being noticed for some reason I don't really know. After that, I never dared to ride a bike in our street anymore. This January, my dorm mates and I decided to have some biking lessons 101 for me and for another friend who doesn't really know how to ride a bike. To my surprise, I was able to run a few meters, and in a few minutes, I was able to legitimately ride a bike. Hurray!
- The first time I flew a flying lantern - Last week, a fund raising activity for the Sendong Victims was held in our campus. They sell flying lanterns and together with the other people who would participate, we would be flying our lanterns at the school grounds. It was really fun, and with the background music from the string ensemble of our school, it was just as magical as the one in Tangled. It made me realize that when I die, I want to have a flying lantern event dedicated for me. Hahaha. Sorry, I'm kinda morbid like that.
- My last inaanak for our org - If you're applying for an organization in our campus, you'd most likely encounter the ninang/ninong stuff, where you'll have to have sponsors who will guide you through the process. I already have one inaanak, and the upcoming batch, they gave me another one. I hope we'd have enough bonding just like the first one. :)
- My last field trip and my first time at Baguio - My room mate and I are going to Baguio for a field trip this coming weekend (27-29). I'm pretty hyped with what will happen, and excited that I'll be FINALLY stepping my foot at Baguio. I hope the trip would be awesome! :D
- My last "first day" - Since I'm about to graduate soon (I hope!), this January, I was able to have my last first day. It just made me realize a lot of things -- that I'm already grown up, that I'll be finally leaving a place that I've learned to love soon enough and that I have to make the most out of it.
January seems to be a blast. I hope yours is awesome too! I hope to update after my trip at Baguio, so I could share all the awesomeness (and the not-so-awesome ones) of my adventure. Have a good day everybody! And Kung Hei Fat Choi!

January was full of unexpected events for me. It was like a huge Ferris Wheel where I encountered moments that are full of ups and downs.
I am sure that you are gonna be busy after you graduate from college. So much opportunities.

What do you as a godparent anyway? :| I never get why others have godparents...
Congratulations with the job offers! Post some sample works in the future, if you're allowed to.
And wow. What a coincidence. This morning I was talking about how I miss biking in our previous village. Congrats again!
So... technically, flying lanterns are for the dead? But then why did they fly a lantern in Hangover 2 after Stu's marriage?
Have fun in Baguio! Don't forget to bring layers of clothing!
My January was awesome. Started out bad, ending quite perfectly.

I don't think anyone would ever trust me with their godson/daughter...Well, maybe a couple decades from now they'll change their minds.
The most I ever got to being able to ride a bike was riding one with training wheels when I was little. I still can't ride an actual bicycle. It's quite a sad story.
Having flying lanterns in the sky at your funeral sounds like a good idea. No, really. You could go out with a bang (wait, wrong word).

You are so lucky for already having job offers even before your graduation. I hope you'll receive more blessings this 2012,love. :)
