New Years Eve! 2009!

Well today is the last day of 2008, EVER! Can you believe it? I can't. Gosh, this year just rolled past me. Lucky for me that I documented most of this year in pictures or else I wouldn't remember how this year passed by so fast. Well it all started in January, finals, my birthday, swim season, ap tests, school year ends, summer of senior year, susan's birthday, fall semester, thanksgiving, and winter break and here we are. ACTUALLY, that's very SHORT! :(. Oh well, I'm sure there was more to 2008 :) and I'm sure there will be even more to 2009! YEAH :)

Here is what my day was like in a nutshell
-woke up at 8
-went out to 99 Ranch Market to buy food
-went home and worked on gov paper
-played a bunch of random flash games
-ate lunch
-planned for benihana
-played soul caliber for the wii. It is an okay game, but it's a wii game, it's not very addictive and gets boring easily. I'm going to return it tomorrow and get my Order Up! game :)
-went to Benihana at 5. Benihana was fun, entertainment wise, but not food-wise. 25 dollars for a couple pieces of chicken and shrimp is definitely not worth it, but it was interesting watching Tim (our chef) prepare our food. That is how they get you. They do fancy tricks to make you forget that you are getting little portions :(. Scratch that off of my list of places to go for my birthday. I had a lot of fun because Susan went with me :). It was officially a date :), even though we sat next to strangers. At least they were friendly strangers. Anyways, I'm glad that I got to take Susan to Benihana for her first time<3.
-went to Arby's and then Starbucks. Susan and I were just being hobos and just wandering around because we had nothing else to do after. Plus, I was still hungry so we got 4 for $5 arby melts. Even though they were very unsettling to eat, it still got me full :).
-took Susan home. All in all, it was a really magical night. I love just making jokes and having fun with you Susan :). I always feel really comfortable around you and I know I can always just joke around and have a great time with you. You're just a fun person to be around. I love youu<3.
-got home and ate apples and cake :).
-watched Miley Cyrus's MTV New Years Special and now I'm watching Carson Daily's New Year's Special because there are performances of Katy Perry, T.I., Elton John and such :). New York looks so much fun. Well, freezing in 20 degree temperature does not seem fun, but heck, it is only once a year RIGHT? It'd be an unforgettable experience to say the least. Well I am making a resolution to go to New York Times Square next year :).

Well as I promised, here is my New Year's Resolution List
1) Be a better boyfriend and person
2) Be smarter
3) Be more successful
4) Work harder, never be lazy
5) Be more productive, never have down time
6) Eat less junk food, work out 3-5 times a week, swim practice when scheduled :)
7) Cherish time, live life, document life as much as possible (meaning take more pictures :))
8) Be more outgoing and assertive towards people and issues
9) Play less video games and get a job! Make money!
10) Once college rolls around, get 4.0 :)
11) Read more, learn more, be more well-rounded
12) Be more musical, ie. learn how to play piano :)
13) Love and be the best boyfriend to my girlfriend<3
14) Be more optimistic and never be in a bad mood or snap at others
15) Save more money
16) Less panic attacks?

Susan, I just want to say that I love you and that this next year just means another 365 days of passionate and everlasting love heading towards your way. You can be sure that, despite any obstacle we may face, I will try to change for the better and make sure that we get through it, together, hand in hand. Let's make 2009 another awesome year. You seriously make each and every year, for the past 4 years, really memorable and meaningful.

See you next year!
