It's been six months since my last entry via iTouch (hence all the spelling mistakes), and I feel like I don't remember the art of blogging. It's almost the end of 2009, and this year was pretty exciting. During the past several days, I have taken the time to clean my room and simplify my life. I came across assignments from elementary school where I was required to write and illustrate a short story. I think they are pretty good for an elementary student. One even displayed my belief of utilitarianism, although I'm not so sure I fully believe in it now. I also got a chance to read over old letters from friends and previous journals. I read a few entries from a year ago which were about how I thought the year would go. I was way off about my academic life, friends, family, and in matters of the heart. But I was wrong in a good way. The year of 2009 has been quite an adventure full of surprises.

2009 consisted of:

my 22nd birthday...

my nursing dedication...

saying farewell to my old pc and saying hello to my MAC, which I paid for all by myself =)...

finally meeting my friend soulmate, Jing...

the formation of BITZ (Kristina is missing)...

the discovery of BLUE velvet cake, which makes your poop blue. But the red velvet at Le Grande Orange is still better...

LAKERS 2008-2009 NBA CHAMPIONS! This is the US Bank building lit up in purple and gold...

going to the Laker Championship parade. You can see Lamar Odom...

As much fun as I had in 2009, I welcome 2010 with open arms. I can look forward to working, graduation, finding my own place to live, and who knows what else.
