So I stole this from my friend Sarah on LiveJournal.
Hello, 2010! ^__^
1. What did you do in 2009 that you'd never done before?
I went to an anime convention. I went to a bar.
2. Did you keep your new year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
My most important one was to do well in school, and I've been pretty successful. :D I always promise not to bite my nails, but I've given up on that one, ahah. Let's just hope this year continues to go well.
3. Did anyone close to you give birth?
My friend Christella is due anytime now, with a baby girl she's going to name Mika Nicole Wilson. I can't wait to meet her. <3
4. Did anyone close to you die?
No, but a lot of celebrities sure seemed to die this year.
5. What countries did you visit?
I didn't travel much at all this year.
6. What would you like to have in 2010 that you lacked in 2009?
A job. I hope to get my credentials, work and get a job that is related to teaching.
7. What dates from 2009 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?
This year has soooo many memorable moments. EDC was tooo much of fun. It was an amazing time with amazing people. All my fun times with Ryan. <3
8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?
Passing the CSET/CBEST. I was convinced I would fail, but I studied soooo hard and passed both on the first try. Hooray for meeee! ;]
9. What was your biggest failure?
hmmm...well, I could have done somewhat better during Spring '09 quarter, but I was too excited about Ryan to focus all my attention on school, ahah.
10. Did you suffer illness or injury?
Nothing new, I still have hypothyroidism.
11. What was the best thing you bought?
I bought a lot of stuff. I guess it would have to be my fake Jimmy Choo purse. I use it everyday, every where.
12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
this is an odd question.
13. Whose behavior made you appalled and depressed?
idk, serial murders?
14. Where did most of your money go?
Food. Where else would it go?
15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?
soooo many things. Christmas!
16. What song will always remind you of 2009?
ahaha, RIVERSIDE MOTHERFUCKER. <333
17. Compared to this time last year, are you:
a) happier or sadder?
sooooooooooooooooo happy. This has been the best year ever! :DDD
b) thinner or fatter?
I think I'm more or less the same weight, but I must be a million times unhealthier. I blame too many nommies with Ryan, heehee.
c) richer or poorer?
poorer. nommies = too much monies spent every day.
18. What do you wish you'd done more of?
read. exercise (as if, though, ahah).
19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
eat unhealthy food.
20. How did you spend Christmas?
I was in Vegas with my family. It was nice. Ryan and I had our own little Christmas and that was sweet, too.
21. Who did you spend the most time on the phone with?
omgg, Ryan by a long shot, ahahahah. Sharene, too. <33
22. Did you fall in love in 2009?
yes. <3333333333333333 (I really overuse that emoticon, haha).
23. How many one-night stands?
no.
24. What was your favorite TV program?
Bones, Law & Order.
I got into Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory from Ryan.
25. Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year?
nopee.
26. What was the best book you read?
I didn't read much this year, so probably some romance novel.
27. What was your greatest musical discovery?
well, we all really liked David Guetta for awhile.
28. What did you want and get?
Ryan. (okayy, I know I mentioned him sooo many times, but he's newwww and took up the majority of my year). Ohhh, and he got me House Season 5 for Christmas. :D
29. What did you want and not get?
a new laptop. It's okay, this laptop will break down one day. (omg, knock on wood so it doesn't break down in the end of some 20 page paper.)
30. What was your favorite film of this year?
AVATAR, for sureee. I actually watched it twice in theatres and I have never done that. Up is one my favorites, too.
31. What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you?
I turned 21 this year and threw a party. Spent tooooo much on alcohol, but on the bright side, it's where Sharene and Minhaz met, and where I met Ryan. :DDD
32. What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying?
ummmmm...if I received all A's.
33. How would you describe your personal fashion concept in 2009?
I started wearing dresses a little more, but I pretty much wore leggings/sweats ALL THE TIME. I was scared to wear jeans, in case I had gained weight.

I used to update my livejournal often and now I don't update my life anymore. I did it for myself and I still like to look back at my old entries, dating back to 2004, when Patrick and I just got together, until now, when I'm happier than I've ever been. Life is good.
One more year left of R'side and I'm already nostalgic. How can I not be heartbroken when I leave the one place that gave me my best memories? When I was in the car with Ryan the other day, and as I looked around the streets of Southern California, I thought how never in my wildest dreams would I have expected my college experience to be the way it has. Unfortunately, people come and go, but at least my memories of what we had together will always be with me. And that's why it's so important for me to update this darn thing because my head can only hold on to so much on its own. I like to update in such extreme detail (usually those entries are private) and when I read back on it, it's like O_o, is that what happened!
Anywhos. Summer school is going to be a drag. I either have a paper or a test every week. But EDC is this Saturday and next weekend is Anime Expo (which I am SOLELY going for Ryan, kthx) so I have to get cracking on my shizz.

I'm overwhelmed with school right now.
It's definitely time to get cracking, with midterms literally right around the corner.
but on the upside
I'm happy.

I used to blog on my livejournal incessantly. I guess I just don't have much to say anymore. Or maybe for some reason, I felt less self-conscious writing about myself on LJ. Whatever it is, I want to start blogging more because I love reading my past entries and marveling at the old days, regardless of how stressed out I used to be.
So after finallyyy figuring everything out, I need 12 more classes (5 psych and 7 soc) to graduate with a psych and soc major. Hooray! I used to worry so hard that I was way behind because my first year was such a rough start and I started my lower division psych requirements way late. But now, technicallyyyy, I don't need to take summer school if I take 4 classes a quarter, but I'm going to take one class during Session 1 just to give me some leeway during my senior year. MY LAST YEAR. These past three years (minus one quarter) of college have flown by. During my senior year in high school when I was stressing about college, my cousin told me that college would be the best years of my life. Now when I update her about college life, her "I told you so" is well taken. I know I need to take this all in stride, but I can't even want to imagine life after this. I'm probably going to go back to San Francisco, get my credentials and HOPEFULLY (all fingers, toes and eyes crossed) get some sort of job. My parents think it would be a good idea for me to find a job in Las Vegas because apparently they are having a shortage of teachers. I can't waaaaait to teach those little kiddies, brats or not. Preferrably not?
Crystal and I are getting tattoos! We are both getting an emoticon heart <3 on our inner wrist. Richard knows someone who can do it for free, especially since ours will be really small. How exciting! Even if it's not free, it should be cheaper than other places. It's for sure happening, though.
the end.

make someone happy
I decided that I like writing in steps.
so here is my first day back in Riverside yesterday in steps. :]
Step 1: Fly back to Ontario with Klein.
Our flight was delayed an extra hour, so I bought a ridiculously expensive tuna sandwich at the Oakland airport, enjoyed a bumpy flight to southern California and talked extensively to Klein about school. Upon reaching Ontario, we waited for Crystal to pick us up. After dropping Klein off, Crystal and I were on our way to Santa Monica, hoping to catch Ken Oak Band (one of her favs) at Third Street Promenade.
Step 2: Shopping and Judging
There are so many odd fellows at Third Street. We saw the oddest people with insane hair and overall general craziness stamped all over their demeanor. We watched different street performers...perform. The freaks come out at night? Just kidding...but not really. We saw a guy banging on buckets and pots. His personality shined through his dirty exterior, and his performance was entertaining. As Crystal and I watched him, he asked me, as well as this girl and guy, to hold a metal pot for him to bang on. We knelt in front of him in front of this crowd as he did his thing and then he asked the girl to my right if she was single. She blushed and looked down shyly. Then he turned to me and asked me the same. Now I wasn't expecting him to ask me since he spent so long with the girl next to me, and I won't lie, I was somewhat offended. As if I would throw myself at him after he just asked someone else before me! So I said, "Wow, thanks. Now I'm just sloppy seconds." He looked thoroughly amused and then made the whole crowd chant "SLOPPY SECONDS" with him, which made me feel really awkward. I tipped him a dollar. :] Crystal and I later saw him perform again and realized that his performance was an exact repeat LINE FOR LINE. It made me feel significantly less special. Crystal is convinced he makes bank, which I'm sure he does, but I don't know to what extent. There was also this other guy who was balancing on his arms. He had some sort of physical deformity (wow, that comes out sounding way ruder than I intended) where his legs are really small compared to his upper body. He was making insane bird calls and shrieking animal noises. Refer to Crystal's blog if she posts pictures. The man then later demanded that she donate a dollar for taking a picture of him. There was also a large man who had a monkey on a leash. Crystal was too heartbroken to see such a thing. (P.S. Thanks for the sticker. :])
Step 3: Finding parking lot Structure 4 (easier said than done).
Crystal and I wandered around the area for over an hour, through dark alleys and homeless-ridden streets trying to find Structure 4. We found Structure 1-6, but our search for Structure 4 was frustrating and borderline impossible. After asking many useless people and making our rounds around the general neighborhood, we finally found it. Of course, it was just around the corner and we just kept walking around and away from it for the past hour. I won't lie, though. I was genuinely terrified for our lives as we walked through those allies. This dirty man with greasy hair was walking towards us and Crystal and I swerved towards a store in order to look busy. Another man on a bike made kissy noises. Seriously, FREAKS COME OUT AT NIGHT.
Step 4: Find a high class restaurant.
We're in Los Angeles. We're in Beverly Hills. Of course we'll find a high end restaurant. And of course, we found the most expensive place I've ever been to in my whole entire life. Enter Fogo de Chao. Crystal drove into the parking lot and was required to use the valet service. $5.5o. We go in at 9:00 PM and the restaurant hours say it closes at 9:30. There are quite a few people at the restaurant and as we are seated, the waiter comes up to us and lets us know how this place works. He quickly tells us there are 2 parts to the meal: 1. the salad bar and 2. the 14 cuts of meat. I don't understand what the heck is going on and we look on the menu, only to see that there are no prices. We look at wine menu, only to see that their wines costs up to $630. Wow, eff our lives, right? So I ask a woman working there to tell us ONE MORE TIME how the place works and I straight up had to ask her how much it was. $56.60 per person. Eff our lives some more, please. I mean, what were we supposed to do? Walk out after eating their delicious free cheese bread? Crystal later realized we were in a Brazillian steakhouse. We effing stuffed ourselves silly. The meat was delish and the waitors were really nice. But wow, really. $60. We ate and ate and ate and then we went to their bathroom and stole their extremely nice and heavy duty cloth-like paper towels.
Step 5: R'sideeeee
Then we went on our way to Crystal's house to pick up stuff so that she can make RAVER PANTS (ahahahahaha) and back home where we immediately crashed.
Oh, R'side, how I missed thee. <3
