| BSB and Pacman |
Friday night was Backstreet Boys night. And what a night!
Even after 12 years, my fandom for them has never gone away.
Wow, it was so worth the wait. But I still can't help but feel that it was a bit short. But I do understand. I mean, how can you cram 12 years of songs in two hours?
But the important thing is I had the time of my life!

PACMAN WON!
Manny Pacquiao won against Eric Morales yesterday!
What a sweet, sweet victory!
Congratulations, Manny! You did the Philippines proud again by never giving up! Galing!Labels: backstreet boys, boy bands, manny pacquiao, philippine boxing, philippines |

| The Year That Was 2005 |
I thought I would have so much to say about 2005 but apparently, I don't. I think I've become more shallow, more materialistic and more selfish. Hopefully, that's just me. Deep inside I do hope that I have made a difference.
Right now, all I want is to just watch a movie, read a book and just chill. I feel like I haven't done that in a long time. I've been begging for a vacation but I know that I can't possibly go now.
It seems all I've been doing lately is complain. I'm sorry. I don't mean to. It just comes out. I will stop. Now.
I met up with my college friends for a post-Christmas lunch. Fun times. I miss my friends. I see them every month but it's still different. I wish I can be with them everyday.
Backstreet Boys on Friday! Can't wait!Labels: life |
