In 2009

So many things happened, and I can't believe it's (almost) over! I'm a big fan of lists, so here's one to tie the 2009 bag of craziness up!

• Had my first New Year's eve outside of home
• Moved to Australia
• Learned to do house chores (or had to... lol)
• Started my B Psych degree in UWS
• Drove on the other side of the road
• Learned Spanish
• Spoke more German than I ever have
• Went to Melbourne with friends (!)
• TURNED 21! (Can't wait to go back to Vegas!)
• Started paying my own bills
• Learned to take public transport
• Dated, dated, dated
• Watched a play and 2 musicals
• Got a job
• Went to Queensland with a friend
• Visited heaps of museums and art galleries
• Travelled overseas by myself (back to Manila)
• Applied and got accepted to move into my own place (though in uni) for 2010
• Met a wonderful, wonderful boy <3

It has been a fun-f'in-tastic year with lots of ups and downs. I met heaps of different people, fell in love, got dumped, slept a lot, and spent much of my time by myself a lot. I can't say it was brilliant all throughout, but it has definitely been such a good way to finally grow up. Without further ado, I bid 2009 a big fat good bye and welcome 2010 (a new year and a new decade) with a big fat HUG!!! Cheers, prost, salud, what have you, just have a blast!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

¡Prospero Año Nuevo a todos!

Ein Glückliches neues Jahr zum Alles!!!

RanDUMB conversations:

Dane: OH THAT'S RIGHT, I BETTER DO THAT NOW...

2. In the car:
Phil: Look at that Asian kid! He's sprinting!
Ryc: I wonder why.
Ryc: Oh look there's a kid chasing him!!!
Phil: *cheers boys on*
Ryc: OH maybe they stole something from the supermarket across the road!!!
Phil: What supermarket?

Phil: That's a used car shop...
Ryc: Yeah, but it still has the Used Car Supermarket!!!
Phil: HAHAHAHA
Ryc: OH OK I GET IT IT'S A SUPERMARKET FOR CARS!!!

3. At the TAFE office:
Phil: *signals me to come over*
Ryc: What's going on cuz
