HAPPY NEW YEAR
Well, I am not going to do my usual - go back through my calendar and pick out the best of each month, year end special- this year. lol. No patience for that. Plus, I think the end of the year would be blank since I haven't really written in this thing for a while.
I used to write in here a lot actually. I wonder why I stopped? In any case, I just wanted to Wish my friends list a Very Happy New Year. I wanted to share a few things that I am very grateful for that happened in 2011.
The main events in my life were Graduating College in July, and GOING TO JAPAN in May. those there the highlights of the year. I think the fact that my long time dream came true in 2011 makes it one of the best years of my life. I had a goal to go to Japan before I turned 30. In May I was 28, and so I am extremely proud that I was able to make my dream and meet my goal.
Graduating with honors in Graphic design was a big deal too. I still dont have a freaking job yet, but I'm re-thinking about what I want to do. I think a background in design has helped me with my painting very much. I'm also branching off in to crafts and hand made things (stitching a nd some emboridery) I also want to try some small scrabooking type things. Maybe not the whole scrapbook, but more like handcrafting my own greeting cards type thing.
I also want to sell my work at craft shows and so I hope to work durng the winter so I am prepared for the summer. :)
I'm also grateful for being offered full time at my job, getting benefits (which should start ina month or two) having great bosses and co-workers who really care for their staff. I have money to buy nice things, but I am hoping to save up for a nice living room set, and possibly aother trip to Japan, or somewhere else that is cool (I'd like to go back to NYC again,or maybe a week in Toronto would be nice, OR I can visit red__thread in Victoria and she can show me around Vancouver. I've been meaning to go there for a long time.
What surprised me on my flight to Japan was just HOW BIG Canada is! I think the majority of the trip was flying across Canada. Maybe 10 hours out of 13 was Canada?...Yeah!
SO, I missed Johnny;s countdown. It sucks, but I feel while I still love Arashi I am starting to move on. Never thought I would. I find I don't watch their shows anymore, and i've kind of moved aeay from Jdramas and on to Korean Dramas. It makes me a bit sad, but I know I will come back to it someday. :)
For now, I am listening to more...OMG, Should I say it? ENGLISH music. lol. But, I will be starting JAPANESE CLASSES in the New Year. ;) aroun the 14th of Jan. Hopefylly it goes well. :)
I also broke a bottle of wine today. It was alrady open because was had some at christmas. It was in a bag, so it was easy to clean up. I was getting out of the car and was slipping, and dropped it in the parking lot.
We are getting freezzing rain, and the roads are like a SHEET OF ICE. We skated to Martin's and back
I wished him a sebok-mani-baduseyo and he clapped his hands he was so happy. it means Hpapy New Year in korean.
OK! HAVE A GREAT NEW YEAR XOXOXOXO <3
