I wish I knew all those pretty languages.
So throughout 2009, especially after July, I have been spending far more time on my Facebook than on my LiveJournal, obviously. To keep the balance and start making more use of my LJ, I have decided to make this new year's update.
I did not end up finishing my Egyptian series. So
here is what I posted on Facebook to commemorate all my unique and memorable moments in Egypt preserved in photographs. Moments I spent with other people which made my Egypt experience all the more special.
2009 was definitely a year of many firsts. Instead of a year of a series of photo shoots, musical compositions and read books like what it has always been, it was a year of many unique and first-time travels. I went to countries like Egypt and UAE for the first time, and of course, countries in Europe! On Facebook, I was able to faithfully make picture-album posts on all my Euroventures. The following lists all 20 'Eurotrip' albums I produced.

Finally, to close this entry are two text collages succinctly summing up my mucho, sehr eventful year. Since I did spend more time on Facebook, the following images have lines which were actually statuses on my Facebook throughout the year 2009.
Here's to 2009! May 2010 be just as great, or even GREATER!
