1. i haven’t been updating
2. because i’m drenched in stress
3. which causes me to sleep every chance i get
4. which makes me absolutely boring
5. waking up at 4am blows
6. even though i am tired/stressed/overworked beyond belief
7. i LOVE what i’m doing (on most days)
8. fatigue is setting in now…
9. so, i must discontinue blogging…in a list format
10. i love my boyfriend!
And any time you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain
Don’t carry the world upon your shoulders
For well you know that it’s a fool who plays it cool
By making his world a little colder
this is going to be semi-brief because i have an endless amount of reading to do but man, i haven’t updated in awhile. i feel like there’s so much to blog about but i simply do not have enough time. here’s a quick overview of some key events towards the end of winter break. first thing’s first…
NEW YORK
it was an AMAZING experience. although i didn’t get to see inches of snow as i had hoped for…
- lodged at the W in time square and had my first celebrity sighting (ludacris).
- experienced the oh-so-wonderful 16 degree weather with ridonkulous wind chill.
- rode the dirty subway. it was fun!
- utilized public bathrooms that were constructed for people who don’t mind being confined to filthy, small spaces. not so fun!
- shopped around the soho district. kidrobot!
- ate lots of splendid food. joe’s shanghai soup dumplings, various asian restaurants, europa, chicken & rice stand (which btw is disgusting if you’re sober but REALLLLLLLLY good if you’re completely blitzed)
- quality time with my man, carol, randy, and NYSaxy@gmail.com
- missed the flight back home, crossed our fingers for available seating, and managed to have a fever at the airport. wut! wut!
the trip was marvelous. there was so much to look at. the environment was totally new to me (as well as the people) andddddd needless to say, i was freaking excited the entire time. i can’t wait to go back and actually do some touristy activities. this trip was exactly what i needed. thanks honey! best boyfriend in the entire world!!!! foseriously.
Other activities/events/people
- hanging out with people i don’t see on a daily basis
- chau & fahd’s holiday party (prior to xmas). great company, good game!
- secret santa @ peter and mark’s (prior to xmas)
- dinner with kimmie at trulucks. i NEVER see this busy woman. lets change this kimmiehimmie anh nguyen.
- michelle came home! although i did not get to spend as much time as i wanted with the bff…we did manage to have dinner at least twice and had our traditional lady pow-wow with angel. i ♥ my bff’s.
- sammys! i havent been there in soooooo long. it was refreshing to rock out to 80s music.
- vivian’s bday. started out pretty chill but ended up being a barf fest. ugh…party bus + bar hopping = pulling over to the side of the road to vomit. not pretty.
errrr….i’m pretty scatterbrained right now, so i can’t quite recall any other events or anything but i had an awesome winter break. got to spend it with awesome people and started 09 with a big bang. i love 2009!
anticipated activities: midsummer nights dream, transferring over the rest of the belongings to his new place/more interior decorating, an overdue recreational day!, michelle, austin to see perlman in concert
more pictures soon to come. peace out bitches!
this has been one of the most memorable decembers evar! with an A! i’ve been all smiles =) [excluding work..because retail during the holidays makes you want to kill yourself]. as the year comes to a closing..i have to say…this has been the best month for me this year. had some great memories, spent time with some great people. and i received the absolute BEST christmas gifts evaaaaaaar. case in point:
i fell in love with this bag when i saw it in the catalog and was quite surprised to receive it. <3
my dash was on the verge of eternal death. i am officially a part of team blackberry!
you can never go wrong with kidrobot products
teehee
i so needed a new ipod. after my last one was stolen, i never had the time to replace it. argyle skin ftw.
what a great ending to a horrible year. gonna start 2009 with a bang in new york! it’ll be the first time that i will see snow and new york. excitement! i’m smiling right now! and using a whole lot of exclamation points!
i am FINALLY done with this semester. it was torturous. whew. this past month has been nothing but wonderful, despite all of the stress. =) i haven’t been this happy in soooooooooo long.
lots of eating out this week. i’m accumulating a new and improved list for 2009. i can now check off the oceanaire! it was fucking INCREDIBLE. holy shit, the oysters were so freaking good. i’m a die hard oyster fan. we also had 2 bottles of this great reisling and two different types of lobster. dessert consisted of this cake with meringue drenched with alcohol. it was pretty potent haha. please excuse the cursing….but there’s simply no other way to describe how good the seafood was. =P
we saw anjelah johnson last night at improv comedy. eh. she wasn’t too funny. the only thing that was worthwhile would probably be the nail salon bit but even then, it’s pretty played out. BORING. jo koy > anjelah johnson by far. i want to see charlie murphy in january.
ahhhh, so many things to be excited about! the holidays, reuniting with friends, spending quality time with everyone, and 2009! i can’t wait to start the new year. it’s going to be so much better than 2008, i know it.
thanks for the song <3
Kings of Convenience – Misread
If you wanna be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread…
And what do you know
It happened again
A friend is not a means
You utilize to get somewhere
Somehow I didn’t notice
friendship is an end
What do you know
It happened again
How come no-one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke the truth
The ones who made a difference
By withstanding the indifference
I guess it’s up to me now
Should I take that risk or just smile?
What do you know
It happened again
What do you know
i’m so stressed right now due to school but I AM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYY
feeling a bit euphoric. it’s different. i like different.
and this is a badass interpretation of eric clapton’s wonderful tonight. totally different feel.
fall out boy – champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends
weird how quickly things can change. i have to say…this month has been a crazy barrage of drama and surprisingly, i came to a rather instant realization on my behalf. honestly, i’m perfectly fine right now. in fact, life is not just handing me lemons…it’s throwing a crapload of lemons at me….i’m just not sure if i want to make lemonade just yet. just gotta keep moving forward and prepare for the new year. 2009 better be good or else i’m going to have to smack a ho. mu ha ha.
i’m so very grateful for my support system. i love you guys. forreal, not for fake. but seriously, i’m finally letting the balloon go. no regrets!
things i’m anticipating:
- thanksgiving! nom nom nom
- rachmaninoff piano concerto 11/29
- good company on the evening of 11/30
- howie! 11/31
- michelle and alvin’s visit
- personal enrichment day 
- gingerbread house/gingerman making day
looking at houston from the 45th floor is simply amazing. the black sky, the lights…it was great. the entire time that i was sitting there looking out of the window, i was thinking about the iron and wine cover of ’such great heights.’
things are looking up =)
