10 in 2010
So I was looking through my archived entries and I realized that this LJ is already 6 years old. I read my first entry and I have no words...I really don't know that person anymore. :P Anyway it wasn't really that lame but I guess one benefit of keeping an LJ this long is I get to look back at laugh at myself when I read old entries. I also get to remember who I was at a certain point in my life.
Speaking of looking back I haven't done a proper year-end entry for 2010 yet. So to sum it up, I'll do a top 10 of the things I loved about 2010. Let's call it "10-in-2010" like that project we had in our office.
(this is in no particular order)
1. Beaches
After so many years, I went to the beach again in 2010 not just once but three times. I visited the peaceful islands of Caramoan, discovered the oh-so-popular Boracay and explored the Palawan shores. I did some snorkeling, got caught by the waves, went under the sea for the first time and many more. I was able to do a lot of "firsts" but I guess the stories for these adventures deserve separate entries. I still don't consider myself to be a beach person because I still prefer cool weather, but I guess sand is more tolerable for me now.
2. Greek Mythology
I saw the Percy Jackson movie and I loved it (unlike many others). Then I read the books and loved it more. It brought back my interest for Greek Mythology and I guess reading as well (outside comic books). I also started watching History Channel when it featured mythology in the 10-part miniseries "Clash of the Gods". I was also thrilled when I found out that "Clash of the Titans" was being remade. I even imagined Poseidon calling me when I went to the beach.
3. One Piece
In 2010 I was able to catch up with my manga and anime backlog. I read through 100+ chapters of One Piece and watched 200+ of its episodes, which consumed around 3 months of my life. I also added another long anime to my watchlist: Katekyou Hitman Reborn. I'm still contemplating if I should start watching Fairy Tail. I guess all in all 2010 was a good year for anime. For the past few years I've been losing interest but suddenly I started watching a lot again.
Sorry, I guess I have to cut this entry at this point. I need to sleep early because A) I'm sick and B) to wake up early for work tomorrow. Haha after 6 years I still need to sleep by 10PM. Anyway, to be continued!
