The Fifth Marauder

I know this entry is a few days late but I have been a little busy "trying" to speed read my saunders book. Anyway I could start this entry by whining about the bad things that has happened to me this year. And believe me, at this point in my life those were all I could remember. I could say that I felt like I was in high school again, in the year 1998 because I still use a dial up internet connection, I don't have a cellphone, I am not allowed to go out whenever I want, and the parents' word was the law. I could say that it sucked leaving half of my life behind (my friends! my second family! almost half of my books and 3/4 of manila wardrobe!). I could say that 2007 was a better year because I partied harder back then and 2008 party-wise was bleh. Oh wait I think I just said all those things here. Hahaha anyway my point is that I am not here to say that 2008 stank. Inspite of all these things, 2008 has been nice to me, because this is the year I graduated from college after n years of studying (hahaha ang magbilang panget!), I took the boards, did a little bit of asskicking (81% baby hahaha I know it's not that great when you compare it to the topnotchers' scores but still this grade really exceeded my expectations because I was totally thinking that I'm going to fail), became a registered nurse, became a nintendo ds owner, had numerous parties, huling hirits, and despedidas thrown in my honor, had a change of address, and was able to visit 2 other US states (Michigan and Wisconsin). So yep, I did have a great time in 2008, all the good stuff just kinda happened at the middle of the year and eventually ran out near the end.

Good haul this christmas by the way, I got 50$ from the parents, 50$ from my 3rd family (hahaha), a new study desk, a 25$ gift certificate from gap. Oh and 20$ more from father because he thinks that I "fixed" his broken fone. He just forgot to charge it that's all. Hahahahaha.

Well 2009 has been a bit of a downer for me. Hahaha the past 4 days anyway. Whatever. Happy new year to all of us, may it be more awesome and kick ass than the previous one.

I have a short attention span. And one bad habit of mine is that when I start something, I always end up quitting after a week, a month tops and then that something is shoved at the back of my mind, never to be remembered again. I am quite the opposite about books though, but that's entirely a different story. Haha so needless to say my new years' resolutions have a predictable shelf life. So this year, I decided to give the list another name. Who knows, maybe this time it can actually hold till march. Or even later than that.

For the year 2009, I plan to:

• Pass the NCLEX in one take and become a USRN. hahahahaha i wish sige na please
  
• Get used to eating without a spoon. I can never enjoy orange chicken from Panda Express or any rice meal whenever I eat it in the resto because I am used to shoveling both the ulam and kanin on my mouth at the same time.
  
• Lose weight. Yeah yeah this has been on the list since like forever. Although thanks to the sore throat and flu that has been plaguing me for the past few days now, I seem to have been eating less than I usually do. Unfortunately for me, all the weight that I will be losing because of my temporary girly appetite (hehehe), can all be gained back within a day once i return to my normal eating habits.
  
• Read more books. I have 4 unread Palahniuks, 2 Anne Rices (hehehe), 2 Gaimans, 3 Chick lits and a Classic. I left the rest back in BF and I may never see them again
  
• Do less nanay gaming. I know, I know, the DS is such a waste on me. But but but nanay games are easy. And brainless. Waaaah.
  
• Take more pictures. My cousin says pretty pictures are possible with my benq, I just gotta learn how.
• Spend less time on the internet.
  
• Learn the bus and train routes. When the winter season is over. So I can stop feeling like I am Rapunzel. Or Princess Fiona. Hahahaha
  
• Watch other tv channels besides Disney and ABC.
