In a few hours, we will be welcoming 2010 with a Blue Moon. Yes, you read it right. We will be having the second full moon, commonly called as the "blue moon". Experts said that we last experienced it 20 years ago and will not be existent in 2028 or 2029.

As we do our countdown for 2010, let's do a recap of 2009:

*** 1st quarter:
- officially started with the wedding preps. Booked CTK and got our w.rings from My Diamond.
- celebrated our anniversary by going on a shopping spree for the whole month of Feb.

*** 2nd quarter:
- "meet the family" = pamamanhikan
- Mom was accidentally struck by a coconut. Literal buco from the tree!!! made us rush her to the hospital.
- dreaded having Acute Urticaria for weeks that made me a home - based for weeks.
- found out a major error in my Baptismal Certificate. Chancery has been my best friend for months.

*** 3rd quarter:
- Cory Aquino died on August
- my 29th birth life
- Cebu trip with Neng and the geng
- Traumatic flooding and rainfall was experienced in Manila and the rest of Luzon. Ondoy & Pepeng drastically hit Pinas , killing hundreds and living thousand homeless.

*** 4th quarter:
- Finally watched "Fire Proof" at Rockwell with Ninja
- An office mate was taken by the Lord in last few days of october
- Relatives from Canada and US arrived to spend the holidays and for my wedding.

Now, on the last 5 hours of 2009, I have so much to be thankful for. God has showered me with wonderful blessings. I feel truly loved by my family and friends. This is marks the last 5 hours of being single. As I wave goodbye to my singlehood and 2009,

I wish everyone a blessed 2010!
