New Years Party Of One*۰ Ձ٥۫١મ ۪ ҉

I had somehow managed to spend my second New Years alone....go figure.☠ I really should have just stayed home and snuck out, or at least I could have invited someone over. Well, too late now. I say this as I'm sitting in the apartment alone, waiting for someone to rescue me from my boredom. Any second now, Raymond would come bursting through the door, riding on a majestic stallion, pick me up, and take me away into the night. ❤ A girl can dream, can't she? #backtoreality Well, I guess snapchatting my prince will suffice for now...(๏̯͡๏

Now, where was my adoring family you may ask? Well, Nick had left with Rachel to some party, and they were out for the rest of the night. Mike was out with some "friends," and by this, I mean girls. Finally, my mid-life-crisis parents went out for a few drinks, and probably going to some clubs in the hopes of rekindling their childhood. Where was I in this picture? Of course, stuck alone....as always. I guess I didn't mind it that much anymore, I was solitary by nature, and I surely enjoyed my alone time. But sometimes I wish I could just hang out with some friends on these type of days, just be a  wreckless teenager for once, ya know? #YOLO 

Anyways, I have a few New Years resolutions of my own. Despite the usual mumbo jumbo about getting in shape and running more, I actually came up with something better...(≧◡≦) I really just want to be more approachable. Years of my awkward "be mean to guys" phase has left me with a pretty bitter reputation. This year I've been really working on it, but I guess there's always room for improvement. ☑ If only I could cross that off my list that easily. It's mainly just a few people who really despise me, but I've decided that I really don't care anymore. I didn't do anything to them besides be myself, and if that's a problem to them, then they can f*** off! 凸(¬‿¬)凸#strongindependentblackwoman

Well, I guess that's enough from me for the night. Happy New Years and to all a good night! #Ijustwantakissatmidnight #ohwell

The Hobbit Date (♥‿♥)

Finally saw the Hobbit today.....I have only thing to say....it was.....pretty damn awesome! ☻ After reading the books quite some time ago I didn't know what to expect, surprisingly, I was really satisfied with the first and second movie. Despite the three hours, I actually enjoyed every minute of it! The graphics and fight scenes were pretty amazing to watch! #TeamBilbo Although, I think my favorite part of the film was spending it with Raymond. (♥‿♥) Lets just say, we got some needed alone time. He even got to stay an hour at my house afterwards. Key and Peele may have been on, but both of us were focused on other things.... (◕‿-)  #makeoutsesh

Despite this being one of the best days ever, (cue the spongebob music) this is the last time I'm gonna see Raymond until the end of break. >_< #asianfamilyprobs If only my family was as cool as Mia's. (best friend) Her and her boyfriend Aidan spend almost every freaking second together. I don't know if I wanna see Raymond that often, but every weekend would be nice... (◑﹏◐) Sometimes I wish my parents weren't as strict as they are, but I guess it's made me the strong independent black woman that I am today. #justkiddingnotkidding

The boys left to Portland.... Mike isn't coming back.... ಠ_ಠ Me and my parents are meeting them tommorrow at the apartment and staying for the New Years, and atleast we're bringing Nick back; we got some Ratchet and Clank games to beat! Have I mentioned that Mike got me a super awesome Pikachu Pillow Pet??????????? #Pokemon4Lyfe  Now, let me finish my boring night with a dozen cheesy lifetime Christmas movies...凸(¬‿¬)凸

Boredom Blues ಠ_ಠ

Winter break went off with a good start for the first week, but as time is dwindling, so is my patience. It may be the abundance of re-runs I watch everyday. Maybe it is the exact meal of ten bagel bites I have for every meal. Or, it may even be the lack of my friends and boyfriend on Snapchat. #firstworldproblems Either way, I am still bored beyond another game of Bananagrams. Honestly, I had been bored all week, but I was hiding it behind the hours of scrolling on Facebook and looking on iFunny. #whydoIhavenolife 

Despite how pathetic all of this sounds, the highlight of my break is definitely going to be tommorrow. Finally, I'm gonna see Raymond ( my boyfriend ), and we're going to see the Hobbit in theaters! ☺ ♥ Now, for most people that's a regular thing, but being the stereotypical asian father, my dad isn't exactly open to the idea of me having a boyfriend. Now if you recall, I'm a junior in high school, and plenty old to go on a couple of dates with a guy I like/love. Yeah, I had pulled the "L" card a week ago, after all, we've been dating since June. I don't usually talk about this stuff, but he's perfect. I had never really had a boyfriend before, and this may just be the typical girl hormones taking over, but he his everything I ever wanted and more. (♥‿♥) #Imsuchateenagegirl Before I start to get all lovey-dovey, I'll just stop here. :p

Presents, Presents, and Presents! ۰۪۫ ۪۫☃۰۪۫ ۪۫

I can clearly remember the familiar scene of racing out of my bedroom every Christmas morning as a kid. I remember blankly stopping at the tree, myself in awe as I noticed the dozens of finely wrapped presents and the disappearance of cookies and milk. I even remember thanking Santa as I opened my many awaited presents. But of course, things are a little different now because now I am currently a junior in high school. Now, we open presents on Christmas Eve, we quit the Santa rituals, and usually get money instead of thought out gifts. I'm still pretty grateful for these things, but its a little depressing. I used to love opening all the small and personal gifts, for instance, my old tamagotchi. It was only $20 back in the day, but for some reason, it was way better than any other gift. Money is nice and very useful, but it's not that personal, even gift cards. ಠ_ಠ

However, this Christmas was pleasantly different. My main gift was an iPad Air, which my dad got free from work after buying a certain amount of supplies. It may have not cost him anything, but it was still a pretty amazing gift; as a matter of fact, I'm typing on it right now (got a keyboard case off Groupon)! My brothers' gifts were actually pretty good this year too. Nick got me six different playstation 2 games (we love the old game stations btw), four of which were part of the Ratchet and Clank series. We had previously played one of them a few years back, and Nick and I were crazy about the game! The gift was incredibly personal, and it was nice to know he gave effort this year besides the usual lotion and candy. Mike gave me Mario Party 9 ( we have Mario Party 8) and I thought the gift was pretty useful. I got some other assorted gifts: headphones, nail polish, but mostly candy. Overall, this Christmas was pretty successful, everyone loved their gifts and its great to finally have the boys home from college.  (◑‿◐)

❄ Christmas Tidings ❄

Merry there-is-no-Christ-mas! ✞

This is the proper title considering that Jesus and God are purely fictional; I was taught my whole life to believe in his almighty being who is placed on a pedestal for his "noble" actions. If you had his power would you let innocent people die everyday? You can't deny that undeserving souls are murdered and plagued with deadly diseases all the time. Either this "god" is one cruel and merciless watcher, or he does not exist at all. Before I begin to ramble anymore, I should probably just stop now....:p

Nevertheless, this occasion still ranks as my favorite holiday; now, I know that sounds hypocritical, but for me, it's all about the gifts. If that's not your favorite part then you are surely lying. It's okay, it's in our human nature to be greedy. Let's just all accept it and move on. However, giving gifts is one of the best feelings in the world. Something about hunting down a present, wrapping it poorly, and presenting it to a loved one is one of the best parts of this season. I love opening presents as much as the next person, but the face they make when they've opened the perfect gift is priceless. I do have a softer side besides all the atheist stuff okay.
