Quotable Quotes from My 2009-self!

Today is Christmas and I did nothing but chat with my best friend through Facebook, posting all sorts of 2009 stories, quotes and memories. I have to admit that although 2009 was a bit dramatic, it was the best year in terms of my writing capability (?). I have also came to realize that my 2009-self wrote more decently than what I have become now.  I have to read more books because my writing skill is clearly degrading into a grade schooler's way of composing essays.

Went to my multiply blogsite and read all the blogs I've written in 2009. I am quite surprised there are a lot of quotable quotes and haikus there which sounded so mature and sensible! Whatever happened to me since work and how my brain lost its grandeur is still a mystery. Sad facts. Life is less witty these days. Ho-hum

Moving on, let us call this segment the "LEN 2009-SELF QUOTABLE QUOTES!"

My latest trend lately to sleep soundly at night is costly and energy inefficient. Tsk. Watching movies until I fall into a deep sleep. Yeay, Baguio tomorrow and no I won't be bringing my boots because my bag is already heavy as it is. I look like I am going to go mountain hiking.
