turning deuces

i knew 2008 would bring me new things, situations, friends, and some fortune (maybe not money but other intangible things). and, if you've read my other blogs, this year has given me more motivation to continue looking up and ahead.

though, a party bus didn't exactly happen as it was planned the weekend before my birthday, all went well. friends and family came through in the clutch, and i'm just glad we made the most out of the night at Ritual in Hollywood. Thanks everyone! Even though I didn't even get to see my CSUF people, I appreciate you guys coming out for Gwen and I.

the night before my birthday I decided to be like Obama and give myself a change. so what did i do? i cut my hair! hate it or love it, it'll grow back. everyone's calling it the grown up cut. haha. whatever. mad weird not having to deal with the long hair. but it'll grow back for the winter time.



my friend took me out to dinner at a place called Stevie's in Van Nuys. i must say, i loved the "ambiance". =) if there's one thing other than food that matters to me when i go to restaurants, it's the music. i think they stole my r&b playlist somehow and started playing it when i got there. creole dining. yum!

friday night, i had dinner with erica and my mom at island's in long beach. and, after i headed to l.a. to pick up tambs and meet up charms, paul, mary, hata, and hata's two friends at LAX. warning: do not drink Strong Islands back to back. very bad idea. thanks charms! jerk. juuust kidding. thanks tambs, hata, paul, and mary for coming out.

so what's there to look forward to after 22? i'm guessing the year of 25 so my insurance is lower. hahaha. no, no. i've discussed this with cf. when i turn 24, i'll be traveling around europe for two weeks (june 16-30,2010). oh yeah and...
May 15, 2010 <-- my graduation date. two years will fly by with working full-time and going to school full-time. but nonetheless, i'm gonna finish. year of the dimes, baby! better believe i'm deckin' out my cap and gown with such nonsense. =) i'm not ready to pay back my college loans anyway.
