2007 is drawing to a close, and you know what that means. Yep, it’s time for the obligatory Year in Review post. I did it last year, and I guess it’s just appropriate to do it again this year. I’m about to summarize my 2007 and I might get all reflective and emo and shit on your ass, so if you don’t want to read inane drama right now, get out. GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL CAN! Also, I’m gonna do this by month. I’m OC like that.

JANUARY

It was cold. I’ve been single for the longest time and my loneliness finally became very apparent. I guess the new year gave me hope, and it wasn’t for naught. More on that later. I also got my house in order with my new job at the time by taking care of unfinished business with the lovely people of Convergys Alabang. And speaking of getting my house in order, I moved out of my Ortigas Extension apartment and back to Sta. Rosa for all the wrong reasons. I’ve been a slave to traffic in SLEX, C5, and Ortigas ever since. Finally, as the first month of the year ended, I started writing articles with The Man Blog audience in mind. Yay?

FEBRUARY

The Yupielbi site turned one year old, and the community turned two. It was a rough first year for the site, but the fact that it was still intact made me feel like a happy father. I also felt like a lonely virgin since it was the Love Month. I was getting really tired of being single, it was embarrassing. To cap off a very emotional month, I went back home to UPLB for the FebFair. It was glorious.

MARCH

After having a grand time at the FebFair, I fell in love with UPLB all over again. So much so that I found myself frequently visiting the Land of Beer and Honeys like I just graduated or something. I was regularized in my current job, and that was one more reason to go to that green paradise to get wasted every chance I got. And it wasn’t just the UPLB bug that bit me. I got bitten by the blogging bug so hard that I got myself my own domain. Yes, folks, Baddieverse at bigbaddie.com was born, much to the chagrin of “I wanna read blogs with sense” people.

APRIL

The summer heat made me all philosophical and shit. Seriously, it was one hot summer. But all was good since I went on a road trip to Ilocos with my brothers and sisters in UPLB MASS. We violated Pagudpud, drank beer on Good Friday, sang videoke songs at a cottage over the “Ilog na Malupet“, and desecrated the north’s history. It was the best road trip I’ve ever had. Well, I’m hoping it’s the best so far.

MAY

Still single, I had way too much time on my hands, and I only had a few options to kill time: collect and watch DVDs, dick around with social networking sites, drink beer, and be emo. Of course, I did these things so frequently that I didn’t have the time and the energy to blog about comics. It was a time of change, and one big change I ushered in was the transition of Yupielbi from a dot com domain into a dot org. Nothing big, actually. It just cemented the fact that Yupielbi is growing and turning into a real mainstay in the UPLB consciousness. *tears*

JUNE

This is the month when my 2007 sort of began to suck. I was routinely living my life like any normal beer-drinking yuppie out there. I was blogging about my usual topics: comics, DVDs, and beer. I had my braces removed after 3 years of being a metal-mouth. It was a regular fun month for me… until I suffered a weird face thingy. It was the start of my 2007 Days of Misery.

JULY

My weird face thingy was taking its toll as I wasn’t able to go to UPLB and support UPLB MASS in being the host org of the biggest sportsfest in the university, the PalaCASan. I started to divert my attention to my online life because it was a really sucky time to be an anti-social prick. I launched a new comics and pop culture blog that I named, appropriately enough, Face Rockery. I started to become ridiculously addicted to Facebook. I came up with more non-sense and retarded shit to blog about. All this online dependence came at a price, though. I found out how sucky PLDT MyDSL is. It was a lonely and angry month for me. I think I want to name it Black July.

AUGUST

By August, I was already a hermit. I declared my social life officially dead. Since my life revolved around waking up, eating, driving through horrendous traffic, being anti-social at work, and sleeping, I didn’t really have much to blog about. So I blogged about Hello Kitty, DotA, Atari games, and your mom. And yes, blogging was the most exciting thing in my life at the time. Well, that and reading comics.

SEPTEMBER

Getting tired of blogging about retarded crap, I decided to blog about something with some social relevance. Eventually, I got tired of just blogging. I got tired of living online altogether, especially when morons started to harass Fucker on Friendster. I let everybody know what I was going through, which was also my way of telling myself that things will soon be OK. And then I got all nostalgic about my life as a call center agent. I told myself “FUCK IT, THIS ENDS NOW!” So on my birthday, I ended my life as a hermit. Still with a weird face, though.

OCTOBER

I enjoyed my birthday so much, and I thought I was back in the Enjoying Life game. It even reflected on some of my blog posts that I am full of life and energy to give some extra somethin’-somethin’ to whatever it is I’m doing. But regaining my social life and all-around happiness wasn’t as easy as it seemed. I went on a depression down spiral. I reverted to being a hermit, and this time, I also abandoned my online life. It wasn’t pretty.

NOVEMBER

This is where things got a little bit more interesting. See, after whining about being single during the early part of the year, I think God got tired of me. He gave me a girlfriend. HUHLOLZ! I was back to my old un-emo self, making fun of Trillanes and… well, myself. It wasn’t all smiles and laughter, though. There were some bumps on the happy road, but since Christmas was a few weeks away, the holiday cheer took care of whatever sucky feelings I had.

DECEMBER

As 2007 ends, I’m faced with health issues that I’d probably include in my new year’s resolutions. I’ve decide to chronicle my Tweets in my new “blog”, Baddie’s Stupid Journal. I finally got one over the Universe. I’ve had a hard time dealing with technology, only to be given a technological wonder for Christmas. Yep. This month has its ups and downs, much like 2007 as a whole.

Having said that, I would like to make the conclusion that 2007 was a great year for me. Sure, there were as many sucky days as there were awesome days, but that’s what makes it great, right? You can’t have a completely miserable year or a totally fun year. There has to be a balance. That way, you’ll learn some hard lessons and have some totally wicked happy stories to tell your grandchildren.

And with that, I end my last blog post for 2007. Thanks for bearing with me being all reflective and emo and shit. I hope you guys have a safe and wonderful new year! Cheers!
