So whoopee. It’s 2007. (unenthusiastically) Yay. I honestly think that almost all of the holidays celebrated in the States have lost their true meaning and now it’s all about getting drunk. I was walking through the drugstore the other day and saw all this crap for Valentine’s Day. Seriously, who wants to celebrate their love on the same day that everybody else is? If I want a special day to celebrate with the one I’m with, then I choose my own damn day and not look at the calendar. Seriously.
Anyway, what has happened since I last informed you? Well, if you have, or haven’t noticed, I have created a daily journal now. It’s pretty much a (boring) detailed blog that I update as often as I can, but only once a day. My friend, NN, and I finally exchanged our Christmas gifts and I love mine. =) Too lazy to take pictures now, but I may later… Maybe.
I’ve started packing to move back to Cal and I’m getting rid of a lot of papers mostly and leaving behind a lot of other things. I have, however, decided to leave behind anything that reminds me of the ex since this is a new start, a new year, and a new me. I don’t need to be reminded of those times and have realized that he was not exactly the best influence for me. So, all of that will go into a box and stay in my hometown. I am taking quite a few reading books with me, especially the new one I just bought, Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. I can’t wait to get my hands on her latest book, New Moon!
I have a lot of stuff. 
I just hope it will all fit in the car.
Anyway, I have more to say, but I would like to get started on a movie before I head to bed. That and also because I feel I have written enough to keep you bored.
Why is it easier to destroy something than to make it?
Why is it that the only time the candle burns your house is when you leave it unattended and never acts out of place when you are there?
Why are some people able to get up and walk after a terrible accident (assuming they’re not made of steel)?
Why do you fall for someone despite knowing that in the long run, you two will not be compatible?
Why do you always find what you don’t need but can never find it when you do?
Why does money seem to make things easier yet complicates them at the same time?
Why do some people say things they know aren’t true and has no beneficial value?
Why are some people able to make the butterflies in your stomach flutter?
Why are we so insatiable?
Why do some people enjoy seeing the misery and suffering of others?
Why are we so complex?
So this weekend was really good and fun.
I didn’t do anything Friday or Saturday except work and whatnot, but on Sunday, SB came down again and we had a really good time. We had sushi at this fun place, then walked across the street for a good coffee place. Then, we traveled down to a nearby Japanese garden that’s located somewhat in the hills. It was gorgeous. The views were just amazing and since it was a little cloudy, you couldn’t see most of civilization. 
After that, we went for ice cream in a nearby city (’cause that was the closest location to where we were coming from) and oh my goodness, the city was so charming and cute. Even though most of the shops were closed, it looked like a town that could be part of Gilmore Girls. We saw a hella funny fountain because it had a place for dogs! We spent a lot of time just walking around that small area because of its quaint atmosphere.
Christmas day I went to mass before I went in to work. I’m not too bummed about working because as a library page, you can sign up to work during the holidays when the library is closed. They open up for us so we can get more things done in a quiet and still environment. I really love my job. Some people kind of complain and say, “Damn. I have to go to work.” But for me, it’s more like, “Yes! I get to work. :smile:” I don’t see work as “work;” I see work as a “break” from what I have to do. I’m going to be sad to leave in two weeks. 
I really do love that place. 
Now I have less than two weeks before I return to my beloved college town. Yay. 
I just hope that all of my crap can fit into a sedan (and that includes a twin bed frame) 
Happy New Years!
Thank you to Tony Chu and Tiffany Reyes for allowing me to use their work. 
I like how this new layout turned out. 
Anyway, so… it’s another three days until Christmas, until the birth of Christ. Last week, I was able to see the Newman Parish in Berkeley decorated for Advent and I must say that it was absolutely gorgeous. As for going to mass for Christmas, I’m still debating whether or not I should go on Christmas Eve or Christmas.
This week has been so slow yet fast. I’m still reveling from the events of the weekend, more so from Saturday’s events. Aside from that, I didn’t do all that much. I went shopping for my sister’s Christmas gift since she was the last person on my list. I went to work Thursday but missed two days of work this week. I’m going to try and make it up next week though. I rented Little Miss Sunshine, but I have yet to watch it despite all the good reviews I’ve heard. Maybe I’ll watch it either later tonight or tomorrow after work.
So I had a striking conversation with SB this morning and I thought to myself, How many friends do I have that will just be there for me when I really need them to be there? To stop me from doing something that I’ll truly regret? Then I thought of how many times my answer has changed with every year, with every few months. So now I ask you: Does your list of friends change often and if so, why? Do you wish that any of the ones who fell off the list would return? And if your list hasn’t changed, then how do you go about preserving such a relationship, such a friendship?
I think I should get started on a new layout soon… But I’ve decided that for the next however many layouts, I want to do just photography. I don’t want to excessively blend or use brushes and shit. I want to show others’ work without my photoshopping. Well, not a lot anyway. I wouldn’t change the colors or anything; I’d crop & whatnot. I think I have my next photographer in mind, but I need to ask permission first. I’ll return to Patrici’s photos in another layout; I want to give the opportunity to show someone else’s work instead. =)
I must admit that this is the most fun I’ve had in one weekend for a long time. It was nice because I got a taste of all three worlds. On Friday, I spent time with an old friend, Saturday with a new non-Cal friend, and then Sunday with Cal friends. It was nice to spend time with so many people I care about. While I was in Berkeley, however, I ended up running into an old schoolmate of mine from about six years ago. It turns out that she’s my old roommate’s new roommate! I was quite shocked to see her there (despite the fact I didn’t quite recognize her :secret:… it’s been six years!)
So yeah, this weekend was filled with… three movies: The Departed, The Pursuit of Happyness, Blood Diamond. All of them are quite recommendable. It was good to spend time with my friend on Friday since I don’t get to spend much with her outside of school. Saturday was a really good day and I’m surprised I was able to stay out for so long. The day consisted of a park, swing, cheesecake, two movies, IHOP, then the park again. All in all, it was quite an enjoyable day. Sunday I went up to Cal to pick up apartment keys because my new roommate won’t be there when I move in. She seems really nice and I don’t think I’m going to have a problem.
Anyway, I want to do more leisurely reading, so off I go!
