Chuc Muong Nam Muoi!

CVS has bought Savon and Supervalu has bought Albertsons. My future career plans are possibly in need of tweaking.

Celtics beat Kings on friday. Afterwards, there was a short All American Rejects show. We then traversed to Hooters from wings and good times. As we were leaving to go back to the T, we chanced up two of the band members coming out from their bus behind the Fleet Center! Booyah!! And they didn't want to go to Hooters. =)

Exams are beginning. I cannot motivate myself to study. Not because I think I know everything already, but because it's only the third freakin' week of school.

Dim Sum for Tet with friends. Have serious food coma and, as per usual, cannot bring myself to study. Wish I could be with the familia, and also, a few red envelopes might be nice. ^_-

Health, happiness and prosperity in the new year. ^_^

sleeping good

i have a bed! not just an air mattress anymore, an actual bed, with a headboard and springs and everything. sleep good.

sat on a bus for four hours to maine to snowboard, only to learn that the mountain was practically shut down because of high winds and ice. sat around for four hours, and then sat another four hours on the to get home.

dad thinks i have pneumonia. mom wants to fedex to me antibiotics. heh, good ol' parents.

in actuality, my cold is dispersing and i'm feeling much better.

summer internship interview on thursday. moving forward on my career path.

only the second week of school, and i'm already tired. starting in feb, one or two exams every week through spring break. gah. good thing i've got a nice bed to rest on now. =)

80 degrees in california!

during the week we were in vegas, and a few days after, it was raining with some winds. typical of winter. i developed a cough from it. yesterday, it got warm again. we actually had to turn the AC on. oh, california, how i love thee.

i went snowboarding even though i had a mildly severe cough. the bad news: i fell down and a girl behind me couldn't stop in time, so she ran into me and the edge of her board rammed into my back. there are two huge bruises and moving is a bit strenuous. the good news: i was carving! i need to go boarding again ASAP to move forward with my progress, instead of resetting back to beginner again.

sigh. need a job. for real.

less than 48 hours left in my sunny homeland. definitely not looking forward to the freezing cold of boston, but excited am i to see my apartment and bostonian friends again. hopefully the blistering cold will encourage me to stay indoors, rather than go outside and spend money that i don't have.

in vegas for new year's (third in a row). awesimo, as always. highlights:

1. dx and i willfully abdicated our 604 thrones after reluctantly trying out a double shot of 151 during one of the earlier nights of the trip
2. the david and goliath store at venetian rocks my socks
3. craftsteak, mgm = so good
4. no one got sick in our bathroom this year!
5. many ppl got sick in other bathrooms
6. i much prefer the taste of absinthe to 151, but absinth burns waaaaaaaaay more
7. club pure was verra nice, but also verra crowded and smaller than i expected
8. nick crusado is the luckiest bastard, but also the nicest. he won $9000 at a high roller slot machine, and then treated everyone to drinks.
9. touching a girls' breast will get you $100 tip from the patrick
10. around the world can get verra noisey. it's a good thing it was changed from 1 AM to 1 PM. there were 8 rooms housing our caravan of drunkards. at each room was an undisclosed shot that the room members were responsbile for. all patrons which would skip from room to room with a shot glass in hand, ready to down each shot without question or knowledge of the shot was. in reality, everyone knew what the shots were, and i totally denied the bubblicious shot because i don't like goldschlager. after the 8 shots (some ppl took doubles and triples), we all journeyed up to the pat's room to partake in some vodka. some suspected absinthe would be the last shot of the world, but that was actually reserved for after new year's countdown (see above).
11.lisa is a friendly drunk
12.don't drink yellow vodka
13.boys eat way too much buffet
14.john webb river danced on ddr, and i missed it!
15.adam backwards is mada
16. phil is the best boyfriend ever.

the calendar year has started off well. here's to a good one.

yes, we're  drinking in an elevator
