2008 YearEnder Post.

Its a half and an hour before we start throwing away our calendars. And im here, ran inside my room coz every single friend that i have here in our neighborhood is holding a firecracker.

And my hands preoccupied by covering my ears. My god i hate them.

I think New Year's Day has always been the day i look forward to. Its like the rewind button without the rewinding purpose. And that doesnt even make sense.

Im sincerely Happy. I think this year was so messy, it built me as a person. Ive faced my demons alone and my friends around me, letting me know that i have them around me. I was so laid back until there came the mess. But they never left me. And i am so happy because i know im so blessed.

• Tricia Hermosura - it was this year that we never saw each other that often. But you were always with me no matter what. I could literally hug you while typing this, (talk about multi-tasking) and utter i love you so much for being the bestest friend ever. I think weve even had telepathy coz of this friendship. Like when our eyes meet, we know the words were about to say.
• Yeshyee Hermosura - My god. If there comes a time that we have our own sky-is-the-limit budgeted event, MTV will crumble to pieces. The harnesses, the fireworks, the LCD screen background, the choreographies... walang tatalo. I think si Ona lang. with Ivan. hahahaha.
• Ronaldo Nicolas / Abhie Trillana-Icamina / Ivan Ocampo - I love you so much that i almost caused our friendship to fall apart. But you were still there. No matter what. And you tried understanding me, making me realize things i shouldve done as an adult. It came to my senses that this phase of my life is one of those wake-up calls. Those laughters we shared, those craziness no one could ever imagine... this year was one hell of a roller coaster ride. And thank you for taking me off my own roller coaster. Yeah it was nauseating already. I love you guys. (I really should start getting used to the fact that abhie's last name is icamina, hahahaha.)
  
• Erika Hocson - Wow. And should i say wow. We have come this far. And in every battle in your life, you should expect that im just a step behind you. You have been the sweetest, the nicest, and the most thoughtful of all. And i would not let anybody hurt you like *insert asshole's name here*. I love you!
• Ethel "Mamu" Cachapero - There came a time that you were struggling with your own battles. And as much as you wanted me to fight my own, you still helped me with every chance that you get. I am grateful that i have you. And i will find that right time where i could somehow give back that kindness we had. I will never ever leave your side. I love you mamu. so much.
• Leeza Dela Fuente, Celest Flores, Don Peñalosa, Hannah Alacantara, Hazel Laude, Jamie del Rosario, Lea Pagsisihan and Cecil Enriquez - you have been my sisters (and don... my.. brother?... hahahaha) and though i might seem to be so preoccupied and we dont see each other... always think that i am wishing to be there with you. I hope for more years. And more bricks to scream on. hahahahahaha
• Champ LuiPio, Sheldon Gellada, Roll Martinez, Omnie Saroca, Lesley Espiritu, Abby Mañalac, Emy Calcena and Anna Sy - My treehouse family. My Hale family. Its always a breath of fresh air whenever we see each other. This year has been that year where i think one of the turning points has come. But the music that connected us will always be on maximum volume. And more years for us!!! :D
• Monty Macalino, Gracie Potenciano, and Luanne Manlapaz - whenever we see each other sa gigs, you were like the fireplace when the place is all covered with snow. The warmth from you guys will never be matched. And i really feel glad that youre a part of my music life. More years to come para sa Fernando Torres!!!
• Wawa Sy - akala mo wala ka rito noh. Gagu mahal pa rin kita! :D kahit di tayo nagkikita ng madalas, para kang christmas gift para sakin pag sumusulpot ka. luv u still wawerz!
• Ryan Edric Ramos - I love you BFF. Thank you for being there when i need to be cheered up. For making my days special. For the laughters, the series that we share. The food, the cookings. I sincerely think that were triplets. It just so happened that im a decade away. LOL.
• Rae Ramos / Dianne Uyanguren - kayo talaga e. fan ako ng loveteam nyo kahit maraming epal. Kayo ang bida ng koreanovela ko. hahahahaha
• Rey Madriaga / Al Jomaih Lamoboloto / Gene Aris Inguillo - my blood brothers. I have shared years of music with you. And that kind of music we are playing together is something that no age or disease could remove in my system. Pag nagka-amnesia ako, isang tugtog lang ng what if or stolen sky... babalik yata ang alaala ko. seriously. kayo ang tattoo ko. permanente na kayo at walang atrasan. darating ang araw, tayo na ang kakaway at pipirma hahahaha. mahal ko kayo. :D
• Rae Ramos / Jeff Ancot / Sid and Kim Del Prado - kayo naman ang mga pinsan ko. simula pa lang to ng tagumpay. darating din kayo don. hanggang ngayon yung paniniwala ko with your music, you will get what you deserve. :)
• Ehboi Sugay - ang isa sa mga pinakapasaway. Pero eto ka pa rin at eto pa rin ako. So eto tayo.

At sa mga hindi ko nabanggit, hindi yon dahil nakalimutan ko kayo, yun ay dahil mag ttwelve na kakaisip ng dedication sa bawat isa. and the fact that we know each other, and youre in my phonebook, the kind of a person i am, you should know by now that youre special. Sa lahat ng bandang sumali sa treehouse. Sa mga taong nanonood sa treehouse at sa mga taong sumusuporta ng bandang pinoy... kung alam nyo lang kung gaano ako kasaya at natutulungan nyong bigyan ng pagasa ang mga musikerong gustong marinig at DAPAT marinig ng buong mundo. Happy New Year sa Lahat at sa Pamilya nyo.

Ingat sa paputok and may we all face the coming year with contentment and happiness. Tagay para sa inyong lahat! :)
