Merry Christmas 2009 & Happy New Year 2010
Submitted by ardith on Wed, 2009-12-23 21:35Where have you gone, 2009? Don't you know that 2010, we're really in The Future? I know 2010 is going to be a bang up year. I can't wait to meet it.
My predictions for 2010? Aside from autopilot technology for cars, hence removing the human factor and a large amount of accidents?
I hope that the health care bill will pass. *sigh*
I can't believe how fast time has gone. I've been a bit neglectful of my blog. It's been a bit crazy the last few months.
First of all, I have a new job.
Second of all, I'm in Los Angeles.
Third of all, I'm still driving back to Murrieta on the weekends to check in with my parents and hang out and eat some yummy foods.
Honestly, I missed a lot of things about LA, but traffic wasn't one of them. I forgot how horrible the drive can be. Living in Torrance isn't bad when my office is in Culver City, so I'm just trying to force myself to wake up early and head to the gym before work.
Sometimes that even works!
Ok, now I better hit the sack. Tomorrow, I have some work to do. After work, I'll drive down to San Diego for my extended family's big Christmas party. Can't wait to see everyone there.
Thoughts on the Holidays 2008 and Looking Forward 2009
Submitted by ardith on Wed, 2008-12-24 10:40In my eyes, 2008 went by in a flash. Of course, when you get older, each year seems to go by faster and faster.
This time of year always goes really fast for me. Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and New Years. And then my brithday. Boom! Another year older.
I feel like I've been blessed this year. My family is healthy and I have lots of friends and family that I love all around me.
I spent the last few nights wrapping gifts and making cookies. It's nice because it's what you expect to do. Very comforting.
It's been exciting. Barack Obama will be our President very soon. Sadly Prop 8 passed in California, banning gay marriage. My thoughts have been consistent about this issue. Homosexual people cannot help but be as they are. Don't they deserve to have love and marriage as anyone else does? My God is not about hate or denying others, but loving each other. Celebrating a little more love in this world can't be a bad thing.
As to my personaly 2008, I felt as if my life was on pause this year. Mostly because I lost the ability to hang out with my friends in LA and was hindered by gas prices (and laziness) to go down to San Diego and hang out with my family.
The pattern of my life has changed so much from the constant buzz of working and living in Los Angeles to moving out here. With the horses. And the sheep.
But sometimes you need a change. And since I think I really was in the right place in the right time, I'm satisfied with the outcome of this year.
Of course, with 32 looming just a few weeks away, I have to revisit this topic when I'm less buzzed on egg nog.
So, my wishes for 2009?
Well, I want to win the lotto, of course. But since I don't gamble and it's easier to get struck by lightning, I think that's going to be a bust.
