2008 Blog Memories

Site Related

I know I should be writing about my actual 2008 memories and not my blog memories but I’m sure no one cares about my personal life anyway. ;)

I made 11 New Years resolution for 2008 and I’m proud to say that I kept 7 of them!! Can you guess which ones?

Other commitments I tried to make this past year was to watch and learn football and also learn how to golf but they never happened. You would think working on Madden NFL 08 for 9 months, a slight interest in football would spark up but to Boyfriend’s disappointment, that never happened— not even a tiny bit. Now let’s see what I can say about soccer next year.

My favorite blog moments/memories of 2008 and ones that selected readers thought were their favorite:

I’m in Cali!

Trips & Events

Quick post since I’m still in Sacramento… but I’m coming home on Wednesday which I’m totally looking forward to. So far the trip has been fun, a lot of shopping, and eventful but extremely stressful and a lot of driving; being around like 30+ people all the time is just way too much for me because I’m that anti-social (I guess you’ll understand if you’ve been to a Vietnamese wedding but this is my first one and I’m like just in like OMG —in both a good and bad way). ;) I also got a total fashion faux-pas story I totally committed on purpose because I was too lazy. LOL.

The wedding was yesterday and that was fun. I got up at 6am to get ready and to get first dibs on showers and then later, Boyfriend informs me I didn’t even have to go to the first part if I didn’t want to!! I wish he told me earlier because it was all in Vietnamese anyway and I could’ve used that extra sleep since I was power napping every chance I got throughout the day. At least it was an interesting experience; they were all like you better watch and learn and I’m like yeah right! I don’t plan on marrying for another 6-7 years… that’s plenty of time baby.

On Vacation…

Ramblings

Looks Sorry for the lack of new entries— like I said, December is such a busy month and I’m swamped with projects and other personal stuff I need to get done before the holidays, like getting my teeth checked/cleaned before dental insurance runs out for this year since I’ve been avoiding it all year. My dentist somehow talked me into getting my teeth bleached (after I told him about my undying love for Crest White Strips) so he’s sending an application to my insurance company to see if they will cover it. The reason I maybe able to get it for free is because of… my tongue piercing (hah! to boyfriend who got mad at me after I got it). It supposedly scratches against my teeth causing sensitivity (hasn’t happened… yet) so I can get one which can be used as a tray and a guard when I sleep. Damn, I guess jokes on me. I swear I’m just just letting them make money off me because I don’t even smile with my teeth opened; I’m just REALLY easy to sell shit to (so if you’re an SA…). :|

I’m soo excited for Cali! There were a lot last year we didn’t have time to do so hopefully we can squeeze it in this year. I was hoping to go to Pink’s pow wow :( and even talking to Boyfriend about changing our plane tickets so we can go earlier… but then it’s too late to take any days off work. Have fun though ladies!

Dinner / Secret Santa / REUNION with the ladies.

Sorry everyone, your Christmas cards might get to you after Christmas because there were some shipping difficulties when I got them sent to me (I knew I should’ve written “Merry Belated Christmas” on them) and the colors are messed up! They were suppose to be a light blue, but it turned out way less saturated. :( My fingers are also forever cramped from writing 100+ cards since I haven’t written that much since high school but I’ll try to send them off tomorrow morning before I go to work. Mailing internationally went up 70 cents since the last time I snail-mailed overseas!! :o

Chop Restaurant Review

Food, Reviews

On Friday night, Boyfriend, N, D and I went to the new Chop Restaurant in Richmond at the Sandman Hotel for their dry run before their grand opening which means a complimentary meal for us… how can we say no to that? The restaurant which was divided into a lounge and dining area, which was huge, beautiful and intimate although the waiters were standing around talking to each other when we first walked in which kind of annoyed me. I guess that’s why they totally needed that dry run… most of them seemed like total… no0bz (although, very friendly noobs I must say).
