happy groundhog weekend!

saturday was groundhog's day :) i always think of that bill murray movie when this time of year rolls around :)

i love that facebook lets you throw groundhogs at people. slide.com is genius.

had my bday dinner at opah in tustin last night - it was YUMSSSS.. thanks to all my buddies who came out :)  thanks to ML for sending out the evite i refused to create and for letting us all sloth around at your place afterwards.  and thanks to E for bringing jeff who brought the cinnabons...and thanks to ANNIE for picking out deeeeeeeelicious truffle cheese and a wine i didn't get to try out haha..

and thanks to ML and MON for today...for letting me drag you around socal so i can hit up all fob-town that nobody will ever go with me to... and then to SCP so i could accomplish my 2 goals today.

oh yea, we saw vanness wu from F4 (taiwanese pop star) today at bloomies at SCP... with bright red hair.  i was semi-starstruck cuz even though i live so close to LA and what not, i rarely see *celebrities*... and laguna beach/the hills people DON'T count.  if he wanted to keep a low profile, he didn't do such a good job cuz um.. a big mop of fire-engine red hair KINDA stands out.. i seriously would have walked RIGHT past him if his hair hadn't caught my attention..and then i saw his profile and was like.... hey now... then again, unless you follow taiwanese pop culture, most people wouldn't have recognized him, red hair or not... so i guess he's safe? maybe not so much if he were in rowland heights or something, but in irvine....

anyways. that was the exciting news for the day. oh, i also got a new jacket and shoes! both on sale! i rock.

Happy {belated} New Year!

See title.

Also, happy birthday to Kel :) I shall be joining you in the ranks of the late 20s soon...

Any new years resolutions guys? Any you actually plan on keeping?

happiness

I think that every year around this time, I look back and reflect upon what's happened in the past year.  And though each  year kind of differs in what I've accomplished or experienced, I find that I try to sum it up with one question and answer: Was I happy?

I think for the most part, I answer this with a yes.  Of course every year has its ups and downs, and this year had a few more downs than ups... but I believe that I've become a stronger and wiser person for it.  The realizations that came along with these 'downs' were harsh but true truths that I've had to face, whether I wanted to or not.  And now I feel like I have to make some important decisions that will affect not only myself, but the people around me.  I have to re-evaulate my priorites, both personal and professional, and see where that takes me. 

I don't mean for this to be a depressing post or anything - it's just some thoughts that have been going through my head that I needed to get out. 

What makes you happy?

end of an era

saying goodbye is hard to do..

i said goodbye to my purple monster today... my 98 honda accord that has seen me through so much.. is now gone :(  i was actually quite sad - she's been with me a good 10 years. sigh.  when they drove her away, i got a lil choked up....

end of an era...

the time of the TL has come.

at least that's done with. 

T-4 days till i get to go home!

deja vu

sigh. a crapload of stuff has been going on.

work has been kinda nuts - keeping me busy of course, but also kind of overwhelming. 

personal life has been chaotic.  i feel like some situations are deja vu-ish from college.... and it really bothers me because hello, i thought we'd moved past that and have GROWN UP since then.  but apparently some people are just incapable of growing up. 

moving on.

maybe i need to get away from socal for a bit.  i'm excited to go home for christmas and see some old friends. excited for tahoe and the fresh breathable air up there.  excited to not have to go to work for a week and half. 

i think i felt like this sometime last year - when i was seriously contemplating moving back home for good.  Certain situations bring out this side of me and apparently, it's back.  maybe i'm just being nostalgic.  maybe it's something more. 

hopefully i'll figure some stuff out when i go home.
