First off, Happy New Years! I hope everyone had a fun New Year’s Eve celebration last night.
For those who watched CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, wasn’t it funny when some of the reporters’ microphones weren’t working? You can see their mouths moving and nothing was coming out. 
It happened to about four of them! LOL!
Secondly, I added two new categories to this blog: Photo Posts and Sims-related. The first one is pretty obvious. As for the second one, I’ll be posting some pictures of some of my Sims here. Like these ones:
Hey there! I’m baack! 
It’s 2:59 AM and I know it’s the worst time to blog (since my fingers aren’t working and my eyes are sore), but I thought why not? I sleep at 4AM anyways so I have lots of time to blab about my life. Also, blogging makes a great distraction from congesting my already teeming laptop with custom Sims 2 content.
Seriously, I’m addicted to Sims 2 all over again. We just got a beautiful, new laptop for Christmas and I’m already filling it up with GBs of clothes, furniture, hair, make-up, eyes, and houses. My Christmas break is almost done yet I barely even started any of my homework. I knew I shouldn’t have re-installed that game.. 
Okay, now I’m just prattling. Sorry.. 
I just really have to get my frustration out in some way. I usually never rant about anything here anyway, so I thought I should start. Okay, I’ll get back on topic now..
2008 ended badly for me but everything before that was pretty okay. Some highlights were when my cousins from the Philippines immigrated here to Canada. They were very reluctant in coming all together to this cold, maple-syrupy country, but I am sooo glad they did. I learned a lot from them. Like, how blessed I am to have a family that’s still together and parents who can still stand to be beside each other. My cousin really made me reflect about all the things that I have.. Thanks, dude! 
Another highlight for me is when my sister and I got closer. I mean, we were already very close since we’re only a year apart and we’ve always been roommates. But there was a lot of teamwork this year. We painted our room together and she helped me complete my tree painting. She was also kind enough to respect my privacy and not read this blog. Or was she?! Huhhhh? 
I can’t remember any other events, but the last one is probably how I started my first…relationship…? Yeah, we’re still pretty much noobs about the whole thing so it’s a little awkward right now, but hopefully we’ll become more comfortable being with each other. I really wish that my 2009 horoscope is wrong and that my..relationship will be okay in the “second phase of the year”. Oh man, this is soo weird.. 
Moving on!
So putting 2008 aside, let’s think about the new year! I don’t have any New Year’s resolutions since they never work. But I do have some..wishes that I hope I’ll fulfill for the new year. One of them is to be more dedicated to this/my site. I need to make more pre-mades, blog more often and be generally active site-wise. At the same time I really want to focus on my work at school and develop all my relationships outside of the net. I need to step up my game, become less timid, think before I act and…“just live my life! Ay, Ay, Ay! Instead of chasing that paper. Just live my life!...“
...Sorry, it was just in my head.. Anyways, it’s 3:49AM right now, so see you next year! Which is tomorrow..! 
EDIT: Just wanted to say Happy Holidays to everyone, no matter what you’re celebrating, have a great time! I’ll be spending lots of quality time with my family and hopefully, I’ll have time to blog later in the week. Bye!
