Looking back in 2009, I had my share of hits and misses, my highs and lows. Let me share to you, my faithful readers, a glimpse of my life in 2009. And with this post, I am introducing Ganda Ever Monthly Contest. Exciting Freebies will be given to monthly winners.
For this month, our contest is fairly simple. If you’ve been part of my life vis-a-vis what I wrote here, do drop a comment. The best five (5) commentators will earn a free tuna festival 2009 tee-shirt. Your comment shall mention which of my Highs and Lows have you become part of and in not less than 20 words, describe how this is so. Watch out for more exciting Ganda Ever contests in the coming months!

I’m pretty sure I was not a part of it Sir Orman but the best entry that I read in this blog was about your anniversary with your boyfriend and his story of how you two met.
I heart love stories

I am very grateful I met you this year, friendship! You and what you have offered for me and my fellow Davao bloggers last year were absolutely unforgettable. Thank you, thank you. Happy New Year ulit… Even if super extravagantly late na, hehe.

Woo!
I’ll never forget how you shared to us “Sampung Tips Sa Mga Aatend Ng Class Reunion”. That blogpost was really humorous. In fact napag-isip isipan ko “kung mag ka-class reunion din kami in time, gagawin ko ba yung mga tips mo?” Really worth reading.
With that, your blogging network expanded and isa na ako dun sa mga avid reader ng blog mo.
