it's 10.30pm. only an hour and a half away to a brand new year.
to 2009!
i think i did it. it's coming true. my new year's resolution that i made exactly a year ago. i made it! well, almost. only less than a couple of hours away for it to truly come true. my first resolution ever to come true. unbelievable.
so before it hits 12am, here's a little list i made.
the top 10 highlights of my 2008:
10. watching the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony on tv. it was truly the most spectacular thing i've ever seen in an opening ceremony. truly.
9. jogging. i've finally started to actually jog on my own basis. finally. still slow like a tortoise, but finally.
8. hitting 20. "the big 2-0," like they said. it wasnt that much of a big deal for me, but at least now i wont be treated like a kid anymore.
okay, who am i kidding?
7. KT Tunstall live in concert. the woman is amazing. what else can i say?
6. hiding inside the toilet of the zoo for about an hour. literally.
note to self, and every other person who's stupid enough to attempt what we did: pay for tickets.
5. getting a job. no, getting paid.
4. my first wisdom tooth extraction. the stitches hurt like crap, but i got rid of that damn bugger...and it felt damn buggering goooooood.
3. graduation. ah the bittersweetness. it's still a mystery. but a highlight!
2. Singfest. definitely the best 10 hours of August. the best concert i've ever been to in my short life. worth every drop of sweat. really.
1. Australia. not the movie. the trip.
everything about it. the place, the people i met, and basically, the real experience. my first real experience. and my first flight abroad alone!
so hopefully 2009 will be an even better year for me. for you. for the world. okay, Mr Obama?
HAPPY NEW YEAR, everyone!
auld lang syne!
so...has anyone seen Mas Selamat?

i want to be a nick carter. after christmas.
i watched Twilight today. or last night, to be exact.
it wasnt bad. but it wasnt that good either. certain parts were pretty cool, but overall, i thought it was just okay. then again, that's just my opinion. maybe all that hype earlier made me had higher expectations of it.
in all fairness to the movie, my bladder on the verge of explosion was kind of a distraction throughout. i mean, i already felt the urge to pee only 30 minutes into the movie, but i was bent on not missing any part. and the film was about 2 hours long. so, well, you can imagine. distraction. (i should check for stones.)
although... whenever Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner came on, i still couldnt help but think, "girl from Panic Room" and "Shark Boy" respectively. i wasnt thinking "Cedric Diggory" when i was watching Robert Pattinson, but i did feel like he could've used a little hair-wash in the morning.
nevertherless, i still thought that they were pretty good. yes, the young and the talented. the young and the talented who are making far more than just $7.50/hr, for sure.
anyway, i just caught MTV's TRL Finale and i loved that all the ex-VJs actually came back and attended the final episode. nostalgia! especially since Carson Daly was hosting(with Damien). it was like a high school reunion 10 years later. 10 years!
i also saw the longest lasting boyband around, the Backstreet Boys, performing the old-school piece, "I Want It That Way", and i thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but they werent. Nick Carter actually looked waaaay leaner than he was a couple of years ago. in fact, he looked almost like how he was when the Backstreet Boys first came onto the scene.
(a gazillion years ago.)
(left: then. right: now.)
alright, that's it. proper diet. working out. i'm going to do it all. if Nick Carter can do it, so can i. it's time i stop being a teapot.
(although i know without a doubt, i'm cheating on christmas. shit.)
farewell, Total Request Live. and Damien Fahey.
it has been a fun ride.

the long weekend effect.
i love public holidays. especially when they fall on mondays.
it only spells, "l-o-n-g w-e-e-k-e-n-d!"
no work on monday = no monday blues.
sunday's perfect.
but it makes going back on tuesdays even harder.
and after all this typing, it's still only wednesday.
gotta attack the chocolate pudding.

what doors and guitars are for.
doors are for slamming.
and guitars are for strumming in minor chords really loudly.
that's how i deal with my frustrations.
because i dont drink.
