Sunday, June 13, 2004Goodbye, Summer of '04 So many things have happened since the last time I posted. That's probably why I haven’t been posting. I just don’t know where to start. Well, I have decided to close this blog. With only 1 sweet day until the end of summer, I’ll have to make a fitting end to this. So here it goes: The Summer of ’04 is supposedly one of the longest summers we’ve ever had. Almost three months long, this summer gave many families a chance to tour abroad and fly off to the country’s (consequently the world’s) best beaches. Though I didn’t get to, the Summer of ’04 shall remain as one of the best summers I’ve ever had. Maybe it’s because all summers are great, but somehow, this summer was so good, it ended up being too short. This summer saw many winners and losers. This was a summer of elections and competitions. Arroyo won over Poe. Barrino won over DeGarmo. Hugh Jackman won a Tony, and I won a bronze for archery. This was a summer of season and series finales. We said goodbye to Frasier and the Central Perk gang, while new Idol Fantasia won with a bang. The summer’s hottest flicks were not of the usual types. We had The Passion of the Christ, Troy, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and Shrek 2 making the Summer of ’04 all the more memorable. It was a summer of lessons. From archery to UPCAT review classes, I learnt and learnt until I could learn no more. For the first and last time in my life, I was able to experience SCB-A summer training. It was a summer of royal weddings. The Crown Princes of Denmark, Spain, and Jordan each brought home a bride, a future queen for their nations. The Summer of '04 gave birth to many new things (like my new love for reggae), but it also marked the passing of greats like Nick Joaquin, Ronald Reagan, and Ray Charles. That’s how I’ll remember The Summer of ’04. So much for my last entry. Ad astra per aspera posted by Ana (sgtpepper72687@yahoo.com) on 00:30 -------------------- |
