nice knowin' ya

well HOT DAMN, 2008 is over. thank god. can't say its been my greatest year, but it was something. good and bad. i don't know where the time went, really. it seems like it was only yesterday i got off work and the girls picked me up to go to the chris brown concert, n then headed out to vegas for NYE.

muahahhaha.

how ill remember 2008.. in CHRONICological order.. or as much as possible:

- NYE in vegas.. CANCUN "no one will ever understand"
look at us baby, look at us now.
- a year of a million dreams.. no really, i think this year i've gone to disneyland more than some people have ever gone in their lifetime. yay for being an annual pass holder. =) HORRAH for pin trading, fireworks & fantasmic choreography & hidden mickeys.
- philippines vacay with woody. haha
- eddie k. obsessions established.
- i met a jabbawockee.
- gina & bryan's wedding/family vacay in hawaii
- i retired my fake ID, good bye joyce.. hello 21!
- vegas all year. really!
- geo graduated & passed his NCLEX!
- rachel moved back to vegas =(
- moved to sd for nursing school may 15
- spent almost every weekend in monrovia
- EDC, vanessa's bday
- ECC - july 4
- me and hazel's first jonas brothers concert. july 13
- random vegas trip in august, everyone remembers that trip.. right pat?
- justin leaves for bootcamp in september
- october: monster & halloween weekend in vegas + pat's birthday
- somewhere in october: me and brey's 1 year anniversary
- 2nd jonas brothers concert with angelica & hazel in san diego. november 15
- jonas brothers frenzy november 23-25, when we burnt our cupcakes

the rest is history.
that really does sound like a funfilled 2008 but ngl (not gonna lie) i really am hoping that 2009 is a lot better. because are the little shitty cracks in between that i wish i could have changed. mistakes i've made, boys i've talked to, yada yada yada. i know people don't want to "change" what they've done.. and they like to think positively with such things like "no regrets".. but don't lie. you know you regret it, and you know you would have rather had something else..
OKAY FINE im being real pessimistic. and i GUESS if i didn't learn from these mistakes i wouldn't be where "i am now". i just hope 2009 brings out bigger & better things.
please please please.

but i guess i could be more happy about the good things that have happened. like nursing school.. even though its kicking my ass.. im in school and i couldn't be more happier about where its heading.

and another year of friendship with my best friend vanessa. sometimes it seems like our years gets shittier and shittier. the bullshit we go through, at least we go through it together. but it really is like that! haha.. but i really don't think i'd have anyone else next to me when im crying my eyes out or crying cause im laughing too hard.

and a year that i wouldn't trade for the world because of hazel. it wasn't so long ago when we had a anthropology class together, which we skipped because we'd always go get cupcakes with vanessa. little did i know she was gonna be come one of my best friends. good friends finish each other's sentences, but we find each other saying the exact same thing at same time. its really scary, i wont lie. but i would NOT have it any other way.

i think ill stop now because if i keep going i'm going to end up writing a testimonial for every good friend that i have, and i have a handful of them. but you know who you are and i'd like to thank you for being there for me this year through my worst & my best.

and for those who i've lost touch with, i wish you the best tooo. for whatever reason it is that we don't talk anymore. i hope it passes soon.
new year, new changes.

hope everyone has a safe & blessed new years. whatever you're doing and whoever you're with.. =) happy new year! cheers to 2008, see you in 09.
