PEOPLE OF MY YEAR 2011


Twas 2008 when I started making this. I was inspired by Bianca Gonzales and so I decided to make my own list to let ‘em  and the rest of the people know how awesome they are and how much they’ve been a great help to my life’s journey. I wasn’t able to make my 2010 list. But I still have the draft somewhere. Procrastination overload--- that’s what happened. So now, I wouldn’t miss this opportunity to post my PEOPLE OF THE YEAR 2011! Who said only magazines and tv shows can make their people of the year?



Kristine Chaves-Becerro

the newly added faculty member in COED. I was a bit hesitant about her when I first came to her class. She was handling Research in SPED and is one of the toughest subjects in my major. So the last thing that I want is to be in a class where I’m not comfortable with the teacher. But lo and behold! She turned out to be THE teacher! She knows what she’s teaching, she knows how to deliver it (to a bunch of crazy ass teenagers), she carries herself well and ---à SHE’S SO MUCH FUN! Yes, she is FUN! You won’t see her crazy side in class but hang out with her and tadah!!! Your stomach will hurt from too much laughin. Add the wisdom and advices she willingly gives, you earned yourself a great friend!


Ella Mae Z. Francisco

the misunderstood by a lot in school. She’s strong and smart and mature. I admire how she handles things and how independent she is. She is one of the greatest friends I could have. She understands me, she knows when im down, and knows when im hungry. The food and cupcake supplies are just a plus on having her. I love this girl and im gonna miss her.

Alyxandra

I met her through tumblr and twas her LDR blog that made us start talking. She’s years younger than me but I can say she knows what her dealing with and is very mature in handling her relationship with Michael who is btw a US Marine. I learned a lot from her and is inspired to make my journey with Arthur work till forever. She’s strong and very confident. It shows on how she answers messages from a lot of haters (I guess beauty and happiness attracts haters). But, some stories need to end and sadly they broke up. Idk the reasons but Aly will always be one of the people I look up to when it comes to LDR.


Miriam Sarah Pasco-Ortuoste

THE SISTER! My 2nd mother. Whenever im with her I feel like a total baby! She has her family and kids to attend to but she never, EVER makes me feel left out. She makes time for me while being with her family and I admire her for that. She doesn’t know it but she’s one hell of a supermom!


Sandra Antonio

THE MOM. She is the mother of the guy im going to marry this year. She is the mother that reminds me of my mother in so many ways. She is the ultimate mother! She is the mother I want to be like when I become a mother. She is the mother that im going to call Mama soon. She is the mother that is uber lovable and sweet and caring and very thoughtful. The mother that everyone will love. I couldn’t ask God for more. Im blessed with a wonderful fiancé and to have Tita Sandy as a mother-in-law is simply THE BEST!

SPEDSO
Special Education Student Organization (COED-USC)

THE organization that made me crazy busy on my last year in college. They helped me see what im capable of doing and that I still have those leadership skills I thought I lost a long time ago. They have opened my eyes to new ideas and ways to help not just the organization, but each of us as well.



Them friends from EVERSINCE
Ayesha (my bestfriend), Kris, Esthree, Keith, Rahima,  Janus, Noel, Nixon

I wouldn’t know what to do if it weren’t for them. When my papa died, they were there since Day 1. They never left my side and was always there to cheer me up. The time I thought all im left to do was cry, ended up with gazillions of laughter. For some reason, I think my Dad was the one who brought us all together. I know he doesn’t want to see me sad and so he brought all my crazy ass friends home. Them 8 friends didn’t know how much help they’ve given me. They have turned the saddest moment of my life into one of the best!


Seth Nathaniel R. Pasco

that uber cute-cheeksy-lil boy that gave us so much happiness! He is the 2nd child of my brother and is someone that makes my blah days turn into an AMAZING one. Taking care of him can get tiring but when I see that smile & hear his voice and that angel like face whenever he falls asleep, im done!



Florante Pasco, Jr

he has been on my list since I started. He will always be. Papa passed away August last year and I’m not really sure if I’ve already accepted the fact or I still haven’t faced the reality. The following day that we laid him to rest my brother and I went back to Cebu. So im not really sure where I stand now. All I know is I miss the man. The wisdom he has shared to me I will forever carry.





Arthur Antonio

the man I’ve been in love with for the past 28 months. The man who proposed to me last October in front of a lot of people he doesn’t really know. The man im going to spend the rest of my life with. He will always be a part of this list because every day is a great testimony on how amazing my year has been since we got together.



To my PEOPLE OF THE YEAR thank you so much for being so great and inspiring!

Thank You Bianca for inspiring me to make a list like this, look back and be thankful to a great 2011! --> check out her People of the Year 2011
*** Bianca was in my very first list

Also I want to leave a shoutout to Pamix, Ma'am Doris, Aleli, Korina, Ate Lois, Fiel, Matthew,  Lea Duhaylungsod and them famous & talented people who makes me laugh and makes my day easier to handle ---> Patty Laurel, Kina Grannis, AJ Rafael, Divine Lee, Saab Magalona, and Nicole Anderson. 

----------

If you don’t see your name here and you think you should be, im sorry. There are still a lot of people I want to put. But this list won’t end here. And this blog is not going anywhere. Plus, it doesn’t mean I’m not grateful of having you in my life.
