Hey guys…I felt like writing in here since I haven’t in a while. I know that I haven’t been giving this blog as much attention as karen and the other joy…so I’ll try to get back in the habit of writing in here. Actually…I never used to even write in here that often before…but when I would…it would be pretty long….so I’ll try to do that at least. Umm…the last time I wrote in here was like 2 weeks ago. Oh yeah…happy new year’s by the way! New year’s eve and day pretty much came and went….nothing really too exciting or out of the ordinary. Spent time with my family and relatives which was nice I guess…but I don’t know…the thrill and excitement of new year’s has really been going down in the last couple years. I’m not that eager to count down the seconds like I was when I was younger. In fact…this past new year’s eve…I didn’t even realize when there was less than 30 seconds left to go. I was downstairs with my family…and I was making shomai (like dumplings) in the kitchen…when I look at the tv and see that there was just like 20 seconds left till midnight….when the count down was finally over…I was just like “happy new year…woohoo” (kinda sarcastically). I know I should be grateful to have been with my family…but they weren’t really in the spirit either…except for my mom…who is always lively. I just think that it could have been more fun. But really…even though it doesn’t even seem like the holiday season just passed…I shouldn’t be one to complain…cuz I really am blessed. I have a good family….and even though there are times that they can drive me nuts…they have good intentions. Like I remember when I was driving back up to la with my older brother and sister after break…my brother was talking about my parents and how much they do for us. Seriously…my parents are like the hardest working people that I know. I admit that sometimes they can be nagging…but it’s just they want the best for all of us. They make so many sacrifices for us and I know that we would be nothing with out them. I also have wonderful friends…which help to keep me sane. They know how to make me smile and are always there for me…and I love them. I was fortunate to get into such a good school and meet lots of great people…and of course…I was also fortunate enough to go to the same school as my boyfriend. I remember my mom saying to me before I left for college that I might get distracted with ryan there…but I reassured her that he wasn’t the reason why I decided to go to ucla. The both of us knew…even before we met each other…that we wanted to go to ucla. So I was really excited when I found out that I had gotten accepted. The fact that ryan had gotten accepted too…which was no surprise….has just been a really big bonus. This new college experience is such a big thing…and I’m so glad that I have him by my side to share things with. What can I say…he’s one of the greatest things that has ever happened to me. Gosh…and I was so happy to see him last Saturday after not seeing him for nearly three weeks. I missed him so much when he was in the philippines…and it was so nice to just see his face and hug him…aww…he’s great. But yeah…on to other things…my sister stayed over at my dorm last Saturday night…then flew to Berkeley the following day. It’s cool hanging out with her (and oh yeah…for Christmas she gave me a “saved by the bell #1 fan“ pin and a saved by the bell t-shirt…ahaha….how great is that). I started my second quarter of my first year in college this past Monday….this quarter is gonna be a lot more busy than last quarter. I now have four classes instead of three….I’m looking for a job…and I have pcn (pilipino culture night) practices that I have to go to and all these other things. I guess it’s good that I’ll be keeping myself busy and wont just be lazy….but I just hope that I have the time and strength to do well with everything. Last quarter was ok…I got a pretty decent gpa…better than what I heard is the average for the first quarter for a first year college student…but I know that I shouldn’t settle for average and that I could do better….I just have to work hard. But yeah…umm…tomorrow I think I’m probably gonna be going to vibe at Irvine with ryan…so I’m looking forward to that…it should be fun..and hopefully I’ll be able to see a lot of people. Ok then…I’ll end this here…I have a lot of reading that I have to do tonight for homework…and I should get it done tonight because I know that I wont have time tomorrow. I hope that everyone is taking care and doing well. Hey karen I hope the Jordan situation is going well…and joy I hope you’re doing well after having your wisdom teeth pulled out…enjoy the rest of your vacation. I’ll be back down in san diego next week for the three day weekend….to visit and pick up my eyeglasses from Costco =)…alright…catch you guys later…take care and God bless…
