undercutting some portfolio work to blog. let’s see…aside from a few setbacks, 2009 wasn’t that bad. in fact, there were many new experiences that i never dreamed i would be able to do until my career took off. however, i do get a little sad now and then about losing touch with a lot of friends. it’s partially my fault for not taking the initiative to maintain contact but school, work, and lack of funds make for a sad homebody. i do get to see a few people every now and then but it’s not very often. i guess it’s because every time someone wants to hang out, they just want to drink and i’m pretty much over alcohol, unless i’m on vacation. school has just drained the life out of me and all i ever want to do is be boring and sleep. and my plans for this year is to definitely save money because financial crisis is never fun.
the start of 2010 was amazing! i got to spend it in seattle with my best friend. lei took me snowboarding for the first time and i FINALLY got to see what real snow looks like. and i must say, snow is so very beautiful. it has a way of calming you to the point that you find yourself tuning everyone and everything out and the cold isn’t so bad if you’re probably dressed haha.
there’s a pretty humorous video of me falling while snowboarding but i think i’ll spare myself the embarrassment. seattle was just full of wonderful things. there was so much to look at and so much to do. i absolutely love places that have a lot of culture and history. houston is so mundane, although i am spoiled by large parking spaces and bigger living spaces. i do plan to relocate within the next few years, so that’s something to look forward to.
here’s to 2010!

even if u lose ‘touch’ with friends, it doesn’t mean the friendship still isn’t there. good friends are like cactuses (term coined from Emmi).. they don’t need a lot of attention, just a little watering every once in a while.. even if it’s a long while. With alcohol.. i feel its for 3 reasons.. 1. relax 2. kill boredom 3. socialize. seems like in houston, majority of the time – it’s to kill boredom, for something to do. i totally understand why you only drink on vacation and why you only want to be “boring” and sleep. you’re not being boring!!! you’re resting and getting shit done. all this travelling you’ve been doing is awesome — i hope u make ur way to ASIA =) if u ever do, let me know where you’ll be, i’ll be around ~!
