My First Year-End Post: The Year That Was 2009

I was supposed to post this yesterday as my year-end post but I was lazy to do so. Na-inspire lang ako sa post ng aking idol kaya every year-end gagawin ko na din to. 2009 the country went to a different loss and heartaches nevertheless it was a great year. I won't be making this post long, here are the Top 10 events that make the headlines last 2009.


1. Francism Death + Eraserheads Final Set

The death King of Pinoy Rap was unexpected, I was looking forward pa naman of seeing him perform with the  Eraserheads' Final Set.


 2 Swine Flu

Medyo nakaka-panic then kasi  we went to HK last June tapos nalaman ko pa na may officemates akong may swine flu after returning sa Pilipinas.Whew!

  


3 Manny Pacquiao

Knocking out Ricky Hatton (East vs West) in the second round via Manny's left hook and eventually defeating Miguel Cotto (Firepower) via TKO earned him as the Boxer of the Year for the third time. He is also the first boxer to win seven world titles in seven weight divisions. Too bad the  Pacquiao-Mayweather fight has been called off due to some disagreements on the Olympic style of drug testing.

4 Hayden Kho 
Eventually becoming a household name after his sex video was leaked in the cyberspace. If I can remember the first video was with Katrina Halili, eventually dragging Maricar Reyes (daym!) and the Brazillian model. The song "Careless Whisper" became popular again because of the so called Hayden Cam scandal.


5. Le Cirque

Just when we thought that the world was experiencing global recession PGMA and her  large entourage ran up $20,000 dinner in Le Cirque.Sana nalason na lang sila nong kinain nila to!

6 Cory Aquino
The first female president and head state in Asia. We all remember her as the Philippines Icon of Democracy after leading the 1986 Edsa Revolution died of colon cancer. Good thing I was able to see her cortege around Ayala Ave. en route to Manila Cathedral. Salamat Tita Cory!

7. Ondoy Probably the worst recorded flood in the Phillippines history, flooding the cities of Marikina, Manila, Pasig, QC, Antipolo to name a few. What's good about is despite the chaos that Ondoy brought us, Pinoys never lose hope.

8 2010 Election
I was'nt able to register in the upcoming May 2010 election because I was so busy with work. But if I were to choose among the presidentiables, my vote would be on Gibo or Gordon.

9 Maguindanao Massacre

Totally lost for words. Let's pray for the souls of the victims in this tragedy. Justice for the victims of the Maguindanao Massacre and sana managot ang mga taong may kagagawan nito.

10 Mount Mayon

Just when we're about to end the 2009 at sa dami ng problema ng Pilipinas nakuha pang humabol  ng Mayon sa mga trahedya ng 2009.

Hope that 2010 will be a good year for all of us! Sana mas maraming good news kesa bad news. Happy New Year!
