It's been quite an eventful year so far. There were bad time and good times - so crazy! There are so many things that I want to get off my chest, kind of.
One thing I will be putting out there although I never wanted to is the fact that my family was a victim of a break-in robbery on the eve of my brother's birthday. It was during the daytime when everyone was at work. My mom was the one to discover the ransacked rooms, and was left in disbelief and anxiety. My dad and I rushed home as soon as we heard about what happened. =/ Police report was filed, but we all know it takes time for almost nothing. Family heirlooms, jewelries, cash, and sentimental items were taken from our home, but we're glad that we all still have our lives. The family is still shaken, but still counting our blessings. We all know God is with us. :)
Of course with the bad always comes the good. I have been promoted to supervisor at work! :) Yes, you can soon find me behind the desk inside that cozy-looking office. WOOHOO! Fiiinally, I can get paid to be physically away from work. Haha.
Good news? Over the MLK weekend, Mike and I went to SoCal to celebrate his 24th birthday (OLDIE! lol jk). What was supposed to be a mere Disneyland visit turned into a food trip. Ramen, seafood tacos, ribs, steak, etc. Sooo delicious! :) Disneyland, as always, was a ton of fun. It was too bad that the rain got in the way of the much awaited fireworks show. Womp womp.
Over this past weekend (Jan. 23-24), thirteen friends and I went to Northstar in Lake Tahoe. We all shared a condo for the night, and had the biggest slumber party ever! We danced the night away to Lady Gaga, Trey Songz, Mario, Ke$ha, and Miley! We drank out of yellow cups with "stripper names" given randomly by one another, had snowball fights, and went snowboarding. There were plenty more worth mentioning, but that would take foreeeever. If you're my friend on Facebook, you can check out the pictures through my tagged photos. It was nonetheless an amazing getaway with amazing people. I'm hella sore though! :|
On a different note - where the eff is my W2?! I need to file my taxes soon. I hooope I don't have to pay the state as I've always done. *sigh...*
OK, that's all. PS. I need to start saaaaving! Aaaahh!

So far, so good. =) Last night, I finally watched Avatar with Mike, Ate Sarah, and Kuya Emerson. Everyone I know who had seen it said it was thaaat good, and quite frankly I thought it was thaaat good! :) Hahah! That movie is amazing! The graphics are awesome, the story, the characters... oh boy! It almost makes me hate humans, because it shows how we only care for what we can take. Do we ever think about fair trade with Mother Nature? She gives us soooo much, and we give so little. Something to think about.
Today, I fulfilled one of my cravings from last night. Puto & dinuguan (sp). I don't even know why I was craving -- I never crave chocolate meat! LOL. Nonetheless, it was delicious. I have to admit though, I can't just eat anybody's choco-meat. I have to know who made it, and I have to self-approve it. It's weird things in there y'know, I have to know that my food is clean! Heh :P
Finally, I hooked up my PS3 to the TV in the family room. I also took out the Wii from my room, and took it out there as well. The only thing I have left to hook us is the DVD player. I'm thinking about buying DHMI cables, but those are definitely not necessary right now. I also have to hook up my DVD player in my room; I don't remember how it made its way out of my room.
Anyway, that's all I have for now. Don't forget in 2010 -- Give a Day, Get a Disney Day. ;)

A whole new decade!
Happy new year, everyone! Happy new decade as well.
If I have to choose one word to describe the last day of my '09, I would choose busy! Yup. But if I have to choose one word to describe my year, I wouldn't be able to do it... even more about my decade. Between 2000-2009, I attended middle school, high school, and college. I had three long-term relationships (thinking that 2+ years were long in accordance to my age, lol), still going strong with my third one. I traveled to several places with friends and family in and out of the country via car, plane, and ships, Disneyland being the most popular. I made new friendships, strengthened already built ones, and sadly lost some. I became an aunt three more times, and a God-mother twice more. I got my driver's lincense, car, and two jobs. I volunteered hundreds of hours to local communities and charities, and became part of two ministries. I've had my share of troubles and disappointments, but the good always prevail. I had my first alcoholic drink, went to my first 18+ and 21+ clubs, gambled, but not a puff of smoke. There are a lot more to say, but the most important things are that my faith is stronger, and I learned, learned, and learned.
