That's enough lists for now.

Tomorrow, K. Sugitan and I have sweet plans to hit up the mall. I spend way too much free time there .. haha .. my parents and Christian and I were there earlier this evening .. doing some last minute shopping? I guess that's one plus to pushing the opening of Christmas presents to New Years - After-Christmas sales?

Eh, not really though, at least not when you're shopping for yourself. Gap was having the greatest sale of my life. For myself, I bought a couple boat-neck long-sleeved sailor striped shirts, a pink/red scarf; and for Christian: A pair of man slacks and a couple rugby shirts ..
$60. Steal, really.

So my days have been filled with HGTV. I love that channel. LOVE that channel. I've never wanted to stain wood in my life until now. Also .. how come I had never heard of chalkboard paint and ever since this channel has taken over my life .. chalkboard paint has literally come up maybe 6 or 7 times. Someone please explain.

I can't get enough of this Justin Timberlake song. it's too good.

122507 - Merry Christmas and the Whole Thing

Merry Christmas all :)

So this family tradition we have, is that we don't open presents till new years day. It's not even a real tradition, we just started doing it .. 5 years ago? haha, ask my mom, I don't get it.

But I did get an early christmas present. I got a new cell phone - T-Mobile Wing. I love it.

My siblings and I made gingerbread houses. I have no idea what gingerbread house making training session they attended, but their houses seriously blew mine out of the water. It was pathetic.

I've been honing my guitar hero skills.

122207 - All is well in the world of fine.

So so so...
today, my friend Steve had some details about our cruise to share including but not limited to the grand total of our adventure: $900.00-ish. All I can say is I better be having some life changing experience on this cruise or I'm going to complain till I die.

I have no doubts that this cruise is going to be the single greatest trip I've ever taken in my entire life .. and that's not to belittle the trips I've been on because I have been to many a places. But I've never been on a cruise so this will be interesting.

Earlier today though, my family and I finally put up the Christmas lights. I know you're thinking what?! it's literally 2 days before Christmas, what took you guys so long!? well, how cute is my family .. they wanted to wait till I got home to put up the Christmas decorations. A little cheesy, but it really made me feel like I was still part of this family, which is something I have not been feeling lately. I mean, I love my family, they love me, but because I'm about 9-10 ish hours away (driving wise) it's a little hard to feel as connected to my parents and siblings .. you know?

But anyway, the front yard looks corny but spectacular. The inside of the house looks even more corny, yet just as spectacular. And I can't wait for CHRISTMAS DAY.

I've got these sweet holiday pajamas that I've been dying to bust out and wear. I really am ready to run around in christmas spandex. YUM!

And also, we have supplies for building gingerbread houses on Christmas day. God, I'm fun.


So I know what I want for Christmas now .. other than world peace and the solving of world hunger.

1) A new cell phone. Perhaps a blackberry or a t-mobile wing. Yeah, most definitely a wing.

2) A new camera. Preferably the newest Sony Cybershot. My camera right now is the original version of the Sony Cybershot (DSC - T1). The first of the slide shutter editions. It's about 3 and 1/2 years old and is currently held together with scotch tape. I know, ghetto.

3) An LCD, flatscreen television. The ones that are so inexpensive this season that is should be considered illegal. I mean, just the other night at the base exchange I saw a 24 inch LCD Sony flatscreen for $650. Seriously. Originally priced at $1279 if anyone's wondering.

4) A digital video camcorder. I'm going on a cruise after all. I might have to document every single second of every single day. Yes.

I'm not picky, I just know what I like.

122107 - What have I done today?

what have I done today?! absolutely nothing.
and I love it that way.

I haven't done a single thing. I woke up this morning just to fall back asleep on the living room couch while watching .. I don't even remember what was on the television, but I do remember feeling bad for not finishing the movie.

I did watch Bourne Ultimatum earlier today with my brother. That movie is really good. My favorite part is that one fight scene between Jason Bourne and an asset, Desh. Intense. It really is intense.

And besides that, I just woke up and indulged myself in church's chicken. I had rice with it. I miss having rice at every single meal. I love rice and it has been very good to me.

Speaking of rice, I'm addicted to this one song, I don't know if you've heard it .. Apologize, by One Republic; produced by Timbaland. Speaking of Timbaland, he really did a number on that song .. really took it to its potential. It's good.

My friend Steve recently found out that his birthday falls during Spring Break week. We've decided we're going to save some money and go on a cruise. We don't know exactly where to or how we're going to get there .. or really anything for that matter. But we're going on a cruise, most definitely. And we will have fun and make many memories and take pictures like it's our job.

I have this awkward fear of being thrown off a cruise ship. Just think about it, it's the perfect way to kill someone. Not that I'm thinking of the best way to kill someone, but .. I'm just saying. If you throw someone off the edge, no one will be able to hear them scream once they hit the water. And also .. the ocean is vast .. how are you supposed to find someone's body in the middle of the ocean. Morbid idea, but come on, work with me here.

So essentially, I'm risking death by going on this cruise. So ready to get on this boat.

122107 - It's Beginning to Look a lot like...

Christmas Break has officially started. Thank you God for getting me through my first semester of sophomore year at Xavier University!

Finals week was ... interesting. A lot of running around and of course of lot of cramming and test taking. It was a fabulous time on my part, if I should say so myself, with sarcasm I might add.

I flew in to D.C. last night around 9:10ish. My flight was delayed, please do not ask. I was so very excited to see my family. The last time I had seen them was for Thanksgiving break, a little less than a month ago. I love love love coming home because my family is just different. No one gets it, but I do and I love it.

I also miss the filipino channel. If you haven't heard of the filipino channel (TFC) google it. It's legit.

All the things I want to do over break:
Get my drivers license
See Enchanted, I Am Legend, American Gangster
Master Guitar Hero on the hard level
Learn how to REALLY cook
Reconnect with my family and some old friends

For now, this list shall have to do. It's 3:37 in the morning, and I'm spent.
