My Goodbye to 2008
It wasn’t until today that I realized I should be excited for the new year. My coworker, Johanna, kept saying how she had this feeling that 2009 was going to be a good year and I honestly don’t think I’ve seen anyone that excited about a new year than she was today.
I have to say I’ve had a pretty exciting year; great opportunities, a new school, new apartment (even though it’s only been a month since I moved out!), the cruise, and a lot of great memories with awesome people. But I also had some of the bad; a friend who was shot and killed (R.I.P JD), betrayal from a person I trusted. Life isn’t always fair, but we live and we learn right? I’ve made new years resolutions in the past and to be honest I wasn’t the best at following through with all of them. But I’m starting to feel like this year is going to be different. I’m not making any new resolutions, but I am keeping ones I have already made so I can keep striving for more.
So goodbye to the good, the bad, and the ugly. It’s been a pleasure 2008.
A New Year. A New Beginning.
Stay Motivated.
Secret Santa
I arranged a kris kringle that night and Augs ended up having me! She got me a Lomography Fisheye camera and a globe ball with a peace symbol on it because I had put “peace on earth” on my wish list. Haha
Unfortunately Tina got a box of coal from her kris kringle. Hahaha
Tracy & Kim
Tracy’s present to Jon was by far the best one of all! She printed a picture of his face and made a cardboard cut out of him. Then she put the shirts she bought him on it as if he was wearing them. Haha
It was about midnight when I left the house and on my way home. But while I was driving I couldn’t decide whether or not I wanted to stop by Classic. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to stop by since I knew some people that were still there. But the event was pretty much done.
Mic had left in the middle of his game, so the boys told me to bowl for him. I hit a spare! I used to be in a middle school league, but I haven’t bowled too much lately. So all my practice is from Wii bowling…
Union Square
None of us could decide where to go so we ended up at an Irish pub a block from my apartment. They had this thing called a “chug tower” for $30 and let me say it’s well worth it! It also comes with a free side of nachos or fries! I noticed they had other specials like $2 Dollar Tuesdays and Fat Tire happy hour. If you’re ever in the area, let me know!
Merry Christmas
We got my dad a Wii for Christmas. My mom and I went shopping yesterday for a couple hours and when we got back my dad was sitting in the same spot as when we left…sitting on the couch playing the Wii!
My bro set our Mii’s up. For those of you that know me…my bro gave me the mouth that hangs open!
The Fam.
My little cousin was wearing a red poofy dress with these cute ass rain boots! I think they’re from Old Navy…so cute.
And my most favorite picture…Grandma.

Black Friday Toys
(Photo taken with my Canon Powershot SD750)My first SLR! I was thinking about getting the Canon Rebel XSi, but I didn’t feel like I needed a 12.1 mega pixel camera. So I was trying to choose between this one and the Nikon D60 which was a little cheaper. I ended up getting this one because I like Canon’s and it just felt better in my hands. It was on sale and I had a $100 gift card. It was $30 cheaper online so I was planning to go back to get a price adjustment. Then on Sunday I checked online one last time before I was going to get the price adjustment and it was almost $100 cheaper! So I ended up getting $100 cash back! Woohoo!
Now I have to learn how to use it!

Who wants to watch it with me?!
Shoes
So my mom was saying to tie my shoe boxes together so I can carry them. Hella Asian! But it totally worked. Lol Reg helped me out with that.
And waah-laa!
