Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind

I still have yet to see that movie, and it's just lying there on my drawer unwrapped. I'm not sure why I am avoiding it, maybe because I already have this wonderful vivid depiction of it and I don't want to be disappointed.

I made some decorative adjustments in my room recently, thanks to a certain someone. It was quite a comforting surprise this past weekend. A good friend of mine placed a present for my belated and some flowers for my mom on my porch. It was very unexpected, but it was very heartwarming.

School starts tomorrow, and my schedule looks like this:

Monday and Wednesday, 4-6
Tuesday and Thursday, 10-3, 6-8

With the wind in my eyes.

With a quick end to a very lovely December, a new year is now upon us. Two Thousand Nine was a better year, that is, compared to Two Thousand Eight.

It was a year of maturity and realism, a year that significantly shaped me into becoming an adult. I met some new faces and was dealt with new responsibilities. New friends were made and I adopted two new hobbies; photography and blogging. The house is now occupied by my mother and I only and I purchased a new car. I traveled to the canyons of Arizona and to the rooftops of New York. I started on my snowboarding venture, which led me fracturing my tailbone. I lost all sense of time and sleep while roaming the streets of Vegas. I lost all sense of miles and laughter while driving to San Francisco. My credit card was maxed out and the banks were on my tail. The first annual Wongsgiving was born and the beginning of DWP was launched. Witnessed my first baseball game and pondered among the stars in Griffith. Introduced four friends into chords and strumming while exploring the final fantasies with my neice and nephew. I took up the sport of Golf, employed by the sport of Golf. Discovering Washington D.C. in the eerie hours at night and discovering you through a note left on my desk. Watched the Beatles "Love," Cirque Du Soleil and witnessed Miss Lewis and Mr. Oberst live. Killed over a thousand zombies at the age of 22, with a great gathering at the birthday.

It wasn't that bad of a year.

-Keep Calm and Carry On-

So many miles and so long.

A very particular friendship bracelet of mine broke off yesterday, marking it exactly two years since the day it was given to me. How coincidental, and yet so nostalgic. I have always held that accessory dear to my heart, and it finally gave out. I'll do the same too I guess.

It’s so many miles and so long since I’ve met you.
Don’t even know what I’ll find when I get to you.
But suddenly now, I know where I belong.
It’s many hundred miles but it won’t be long.

This past weekend was quite a blur, and the reason why is pretty obvious. I have probably taken more alcohol in this one weekend than I did this whole year, haha. Thanks again for those who made the effort to come see me this weekend, it lifted my spirits.

Yardhouse was chaotic, given the small amount of space in the patio to accommodate 40 people was no easy task. I nearly maxed out my texting and calling memory space in one night, just to make sure everyone knew where they were going. But of course, it all worked out in the end.

Just for the record, this is what I consumed within a span of 24 hours.

• 2 Jager Bombs
• 2 shots of Jager
• 1 Adios (AMF)
  
• 1 Thai Bomb
  
• 1 Four Horsemen
• 1 shot of Patron
• 1 tall glass of Pyramid
  
• 1 Tokyo Tea
• 1 Jameson with Sprite

I had work the next day at 1pm, which was today. And boy, was it tough. It was quite funny because half the co-workers that were working was in the same state as myself. We all gave each other a devious smile and then I proceeded to check the timesheet. I saw that Heather has already called in "sick" and Mike had to leave from working barely two hours because he couldn't do it anymore, haha. I then walked into the break room to see Rhea past out on the couch. I walked back to my station and my manager came up to me and said, "I'm glad to see that you are still alive, David. Thanks to you, everyone else isn't." Mission completed.

It's getting close to that day, I shall refrain from drinking for awhile now. It's been fun while it lasted.

Thank you, thank you.

I am still currently drunk right now, but I am feeling good.

It's been awhile since I had this much comfort and fun, and I'm grateful for my friends. This weekend was a success; all my close friends were at one place and I am quite pleased for them to finally meet one another. I would like to thank Tami, Jeff, Heather, Charles, Kristina, Josh, Brian, Jasper, and Andrew for the drinks. I would like to thank Courtney, Shannon, and Glenn for being my drivers. Thank you Lawrence for being the photographer for the night. Thank you Michelle, Lawrence, Courtney, Erin, Ashraf, and Jocelyn for the birthday gifts.

Mazel tov!

Tonight was a good night indeed.
