(Unhealthy and Obsessively) Looking Forward to February & March

So some pretty exciting things that I'm really looking forward to:

Feb. 21, 2012: Hitting the 3-year mark in our relationship (I still can't believe it's been so long!)

Feb. 14, 2012: Valentine's Day (meh, but oh well any reason to celebrate and go out after Christmas & holidays is good enough for me)

Mar. 2, 2012: Turning 21 fuckyeaa~ & GNO lounge-bar-hopping (Don't worry, I'll be drinking good ole' H20)

Mar. 3, 2012: Dinner at my favorite restaurant in the whole wide world, Crustacean, Beverly Hills, with my best buddy Keson. I'm already salivating already just by thinking about the delicious roasted Dungeness crab with butter infused with fresh garlic and spices topped with An House garlic noodles.. straight up orgasm for your taste buds.

Mar. 4, 2012: SKYDIVING FOR MY BDAY! Thank you, Keson, for knocking off one of top 5 things on my bucketlist! Although, I do wish you would jump with me...a;eflimaf;liam can't wait!!

Jumping out of an airplane with a stranger &

4 parachutes at 10,000 feet?!?! fuckyes.

Mar. 24-31, 2012: Spring break in NYC w/ Keson to visit my beloved best friends Angela, Jamie, Jeffrey, & Sam! And hello Broadway Shows, Central Park, Times Square, and all the billion other things Angela has planned for us.

Thank you, Mommy & Daddy, 

for the best birthday present ever <3

All in all, these next 2-3 months are going to be pretty crazy fun (except for you CS122a.. you can go suck it) and hopefully I'll also be able to add dirt-biking in the desert w/ Jeff & Allison on my list as well!

My First Time Riding a Dirt-Bike! (Thanks Jeff)

But as always, school comes first blah blah blah mur.

Care Package

This is a delayed blog post, but I just wanted to thank le boyfriend (who better be an avid reader of my blog..) for driving over with this care package when I was sick all last week coughing up bogeys. Although my olfactory system was hibernating, with my taste buds unfortunately following suit, it was still lovely :)

Things I Am Grateful For

My beautiful & dorky family that taught me more than I will ever know. 

"The most valuable gift I can give you is your independence and freedom to make your own decisions and choose who you want to me." - Papa Chiou

Being lucky enough to live in Irvine, Southern California and to experience amazing weather even during Winter (thank you parents).

My "ridiculously handsome who gets better looking everyday" boyfriend (quote said boyfriend), main bro, and best friend, and has stuck by me and treats me like a princess in spite all my clingyness, jealousness, forgetfulness, lackofcommonsensicalness, farts (literally) since February 21, 2009.

Being able to see this on my way home.

My family friends who I've grown up with and grown to love as my own sisters (with the exception of the 2nd from right who's actually my sister..)

Being able to spend the Winter holidays in Utah every year where I can escape the aforementioned everlasting sunlight and amazing Socal weather, and experience the beauty of a landscape that goes beyond what your eyes can see.

My precious little brotherman Marley, who's cutecuddlyawesomeadorablefluffyfuzzyness brings happiness, sunshine, rainbows, hearts, stars, and unicorn poop to our family.

Peitro Ferrero, I am eternally grateful to you and your Rochers. Its whole roasted hazelnut insides encased in a wafer shell covered with hazelnut cream, milk chocolate, and chopped hazelnuts make up one of the best chocolates in this entire universe.

Olivia Wilde. Explanation not needed

Amazon.com for creating my Kindle  in all its awesomely light-compact-thin self complete with e-ink technology/anti-glare/yadayada makes my favorite hobby of reading.. even more of a favorite hobby. Okay, not my best writing, but it'll do.  &John Steinbeck, I'm grateful for you as well.

My parents & role models, thank you for your everlasting guidance and support for everything I do. Thank you for putting up with my shenanigans as the older child, my many food(ing) needs, my morning battle cries, my post-used clogged up toilets, and my annoying laughter. I love you two, and thank you for everything in my life. 

to be continued..

What are you grateful for in your life?

Until next time,

Lils
