HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR! i celebrated my new year's eve @ my cousin's house for the first time in a LONG time. it was an interesting experience. what a way to end an interesting year. 5 minutes before midnight, we all gathered in my cousin's tv room. then my mom yelled, "ok, all the husband and wives hold each other. all the boyfriends and girlfriends seperate!" i was thinking, "omg. i think my mom had too much of that cranberry juice than i did." then as it came closer to midnight my mom said, "ok get ready. everyone stand next to their sweetheart." and i thought, "yay! no comment about the young couples!" hahah there was no acutally countdown because they had satelite. i didn't get to see the ball drop in time square for the first time lol. it was fun nonetheless. we watched the clock on the TV. when it hit midnight, someone accidentally hit the switch that was connected to the TV and it turned off. so my cousin quickly turned it back on. then everyone yelled, "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" i, for one, had my first new year's kiss at midnight. unlike all my other years, i didn't have a champagne glass filled with sparkling cider. instead i had a friend turned best friend turned boyfriend in my arms. it was my cousin's first new year's kiss too... even though her and her boyfriend were together for almost 3 years. ;)
then today (new years day) we ate breakfast at the restaurant outside of knotts. we were suppose to go to Barstow's outlet, but our plans changed. we went to diana's house to celebrate her and her sister's bday. diana and i called people up reminding them about tomorrow (jan. 2nd). and she let me listen to the prison song. hahah i like it! mm fun!
-----------------
i felt that my last entry didn't really express my gratefulness of surviving 2003. Besides the whole "FINALLY FREE CLASS OF 2003" aspect of last year, there were a great deal of events that had taught me who i really am. i have one person to thank for helping me realize my abilities and for helping me conquer my insecurities. never in one year have i learned so much about life and about myself. it was a great year for my mind to grow and accept what is given to me whether it was a blessing or a thorn in my life. i cannot stress enough how much of a miracle it was to survive a demanding year. i've learned over the course of one year, how it truly feels to be the mother of a house. all responsiblity (minus the role of being an account for the family) was thrown on top of me at the beginning of the year. i had never worked so hard for my family in my 17 years of living. i cannot look back and see if i have achieved my 2003 resolutions because i have forgotten them. i can only guess it consisted of weightloss, being true to myself, and not being mean to my sister. just to humor myself, i think i did a pretty good job this year. i think i could have done better. i could have been more rational rather than reacting like a drama queen (even though that is the only way people can realize how much they hurt me). yes, i may have been a pain in the butt to some. yes, i may have felt like an obligation to others.. but i've come to accept myself for being the one on his/her last nerve because quite frankly, it's me and you just have to accept it.
2003 was a year that brought me to a realization that someone does actually care for me and actually appreciates me. i have never in my lifetime felt this way towards anyone. if this was a "thank you" i would have soo much to thank you for. but for once, i dont know what to say because i cant find the right words to express how much you mean to me. as much as i search for the right words, it all boils down to three meaningful words. as scared as i am for taking such a big risk, i feel i have to make it known to everyone. as corny as it sounds, it's true. i know we've been exchanging these words for quite some time now, but i've come to the point where i just want to tell the whole world. as stupid as my method of proclaiming my feelings is, it just had to be said. i love you.

i have been having fun the past 3 days! of course i missed him, but i had fun nonetheless. on friday, the day after christmas, pam and johnny came by for a visit! yay! i haven't seen johnny since my bday and pam.. well.. since the mall. haha but it was fun just talking to them and feeding them. ;) i'm really hoping we could hangout again before break ends. pammy gave me stationary so i can write to her. oooh yea. imma put it to good use. everybody loves getting snail mail. hehe. they left the house around.. 1?? i think. lol. i didn't bother checking the time cuz i was just really glad to see them. yesterday, i had visitors again! yay! karla, joe, shanel, jason, and nana came by to drop of christmas gifts. nana's so big now!! she loved me the most just because i was holding sponge bob. heh. hey, bribes work. kaybee and joe were so funny. i love laughing with them. there's never a dull moment when those two are around. esp. when you bring up lord of the rings and pirates of the caribbean. oo orlando bloom and johnny depp. sooo sexy. we talked about everything from movies and tv shows (the OC cuz joe hangs out with them.. noogies!) to college life and our future. *sigh* but yes.. i've been having fun with people i dont get to see that often. good times. as for today, i went to church, came home and did the laundry, ran some errands, tv/dvds, and now i'm here... yup. i guess my weekend fun is over.
-------------------
wow. this year has gone by faster than the last. i guess it's because i was having more fun this year. not only did i close a chapter of my life and opened a new one, but i've extended into many different areas of my life that i thought would never exist for a while. let me recap my year of 2003:
- january was a month of hospitals, surgeries, no mom days, and home alone nights. but solar FINALLY took me to CPK like he promised. ;) oh and it was a month of parties ~ emily's bday/dad's retirement party, charisma's bday dinner @ bobby mcgees, and diana's cotillion.
- february brought many wonderful surprises. best day ~ the 14th. it also came with a lot of thinking.
- march was filled with cotillion practices, pcn practices, pcn show, and a weekend at UC Berkley. Got to see my cousin Ellen!
- april was all cotillion practices... even during spring break. there was a day of senior productions... but that was wutevers. my bunk bed came this month too! and i attended my firts TKB class (turbo kickboxing) with sagita and chilled at mrs. wohlgemuth's house. went to SD and shopped at Fashion Valley. i was BUSY this month.
- may held val's cotillion, AP Tests, a fun outing to DT Disney with kristen, solar, and jerome. mom's bday, premio de oro, and PROM =)
- june was a BIG MONTH in my life. finals, senior ditch day, GRADUATION, the BEACH (even it was a dirty beach.. u can't blame redondo. lol), the QUESTION, the ANSWER.. haha u get the point. my LAST MUN conference i will be in and chair at.. DISNEYLAND with the mun family..
