Happy Holidays & Beyond!
Merry X-mas! Merry Morrisey Day! Merry Kopitarians! Happy Whatever You Celebrate... ect. ect.
Whatever you all celebrate, I wish you all a nice and safe holidays! :D
And just because since I was highly amused over this (I ended up finding this vid on Youtube after seeing a random screen cap of that particular video on Yahoo's 25 Top X-mas Music Videos)... Enjoy!
So far this holiday season...
12/23: My family & I had dinner at my aunt's house, since it was my cousin's Joemca's birthday. Happy belated birthday Joemca!!! I hope you had an excellent birthday!
X-mas Eve: The family had lunch at China Town since it was my grandma's 94th birthday. She has a great sense of humor. If you ask her how old she is, she'll either say that she's 90 years old or 99 years old. She's too cute and funny. :)
Later that day, Liza, her friend Nicola, Joemca and I all went shopping at Amoeba records. We finally got our parents their X-mas presents.
Finally, Nommie came over to the house, we opened our pressies, and had dinner w/ the family. Since Joemca wanted to see my portfolio and artwork, I showed him what I have set aside for my main portfolio and I ended up trashing my room just to gather up more of my past artworks I've done over the year. My family was impressed. Joemca took some of my extra photographs to take back to NY. In all, it was a great X-mas eve.
Today: X-mas!!! I'm being such a party pooper, but I'm so spent from X-mas eve plus trying to gather and put away my artworks which is a pain in the butt since I have so many not to mention my portfolio cases are heavy to carry around.
I'm gonna end this now... Till then, have a wonderful holidays! :D

39. Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2006? "You can't always get exactly what you want. but if it's meant to be, it will be." Also... I've learned the true feelings of friends... I've opened up a lot more than before, I shouldn't take anyone for granted, and don't forget to completely dry my pen nibs and pen holder. They all got rusted so badly... Also, don't pull the tape too hard. I ruined my mat boards that way. Lastly, keep all cell phones away from water! The next time I go swimming, I should leave my phone in the trunk of my car.
40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year.
It constantly changes... It always varies... I really don't have one...
