it's about damn time

i know, it's been a while since i've last updated my blog, but since i have my first major test tomorrow (technically later on this morning) and i simply cannot go to sleep, i figured now would be a good chance to do so.

so let me refresh my memory on when the last time i blogged was
:: opens a new tab (which is probably not the most efficient way of checking my last post) ::
:: types "http://www.tequilasunsarising.blogspot.com" into the URL box::
:: re-reads last post ::

ah yes. December 22, declaring my acceptance into the LVN program at Downey.
now time to recall the events that occurred between that time and now.

12/24 - christmas eve w/the fam & loves. opened gifts @ home.
12/25 - christmas party in Corona
12/26 - awesome birthday celebration @ Ivar in Hollywood
12/27 - i cried cause my parents were home for my birthday. haha!! then dinner @ Mama D's which by the way was the best birthday dinner in the whole entire world. super "trendy" and "hip" lounge/bar called Memphis.
12/28 - CHURCH! & bday lunch w/ family, the Lims, & ducky babe. dinner @ rad's w/his fam from Canada then off to their place in Hollywood.
12/31 - new years eve @ Fontanilla (1st patron shots w/cousins. ha, it's about time!) count down @ home. the first time i was home for the countdown in over 4 years. then spent the rest of the new year w/ raddie.
1/1 - mama's old college friend comes to visit from Canada
1/2 - Happy Birthday Ate Arlene! took mom's friends to Hollywood (it was COLD and FOGGY)
1/3 - Happy Birthday Mahalia!! went to P.F. Changs for the 1st time for May's bday.
1/4 - last day of freedom!
1/5 - school starts. and it was probably the toughest day of the week. i was super exhausted!!

basically from the 5th - now i've been at school. so far raddie and i have had 2 quizzes and we have our first exam tomorrow. =)

so going back to my bday celebrations.... thank you to:
mike cordeta for helping me with my bday plans on Friday
the guys for coming (gene dennis louie ryan pooty taing)
darlyn for being 21 for the night
nychel & april for coming out & representing the rest of girls who were all away and traveling! lol
alyssa for coming out to dinner & memphis
michelle and niel for coming to dinner too & niel for buying the wine & drinks @ memphis
to wingard for being there both days even if you were sick! hahaha
to all the people who greeted me w/ text, facebook, myspace, phone calls. thanks. it means a lot.
lastly to my LOML. you made my birthday the best!! you have no idea how thankful i am of all that you've done. from my very cute bday dress, to planning ride arrangements, to actually driving everywhere, to paying for my bottle service and dinner. i could not ask for more. i love you!!


so i know. it's super lame for even putting that shit up but i really wanted to take the time to thank the people that mean something in my life. whether or not you were able to go to any of my shindigs, greeting me happy birthday was enough for me! i love you all, and i cherish each and every one of your friendships. i mean that with complete sincerity. i've lost lots of friends and i feel like i should give such recognition to the friends that i have. i love you & thank you for being there for me.

ew, so now that i'm done with that, i think it's about time to go to sleep... or take some ibuprofen bc my cramps are KILLER! good night all. i shall update again soon.
