Moving Forward

just my two cents on moving forward in 2009. I'm a little late with posting but i tend to do that a lot.. have a lot of things in my head and then post it 3 days later. On another note 2008 has taught me so much and i find it amazing to see how much i've grown just within a year..

-time waits for no one. the idea of growing older hit me harder this year with my dad's operation and his other one hes going to have in March. we dont realize that our parents get older because theyre like our superheros.

-my nursing program. this was a big one for me this year.. its shaped me and made me grow up in so many ways.

-my constants. that continue to be together each year. the group of friends that continue to support each other no matter how far the distance.

-the concerts! ive never been to so many concerts this year in my entire life. Justice, N.E.R.D., Santogold, The Ting Tings. I'm probably missing one or two more.. ill have to ask keith. haha.

-my 20th birthday in disneyland.. before that i havent been there for about 6-7 years. it was crazy to come back and see how much disneyland had changed!

-watched my first sunset.. its a beautiful thing.

-popsicle.. definately an experience to remember!

-being unemployed for about 3-4 months living off my savings!........ i dunno how i did it.

-and most importantly.. i've learned to never settle for what you deserve. i should have learned this lesson years ago. sometimes we're so used to something that it becomes a part of our life. but what we don't realize is that if we settle for something thats less than we really deserve, we miss out on so much more of everything else.


As for my new years resolution.. i havent really narrowed down a good list yet.. but the ones i have thought of are:

1. maintaing a clean room!.. i used to be so good at doing this for half the year.. and once i started my nursing program my room has been looking like its been hit by a tornado.
2. time for me.. this is something i noticed i havent done at all this year and its something i know i need to work on. i tend to worry too much about other people and start to forget about taking care of myself. and catch up on things i like to do like reading and sitting around watching a moive by myself..i need to take some time out for jessica!.
3. im gonna go sky diving this year. ive already decided.
4. i've had a lot of first time experiences that i didnt all write in my blog. especially thanks to a particular person who's made this year that much more exciting. so thank you. im looking forward to many more this year.

and thats pretty much it so far.. ill have to update that list later. im glad i wrote it in here so i can come back to it.. we all tend to make new years resolutions and never follow them, but im going to try my best to fulfill them this time.

goodbye 2008!... Hello new experiences, challenges, and lessons to be learned, 2009!
