   Hehe...First post of 2006!!!!!
*My new Avatar*

As you can all probably see, I have a new avatar for my site. Yup, I drew it with Paint. I guess it came out kinda well. Drawing stuff on paint with a mouse is not easy. It's much easier with a pencil ^^ It's not the first time I've drawn with that Paint program but this is one of my favorite ones. I didn't draw a chin on her because I didn't know whether to give her a long or round chin. Boo. I liked it without the chin and the white skin. I didn't wanted to bother with finding the perfect shade for the skin because it would either come out too yellow or too pink, or orange and that's like not very appealing. Haha...The pic is not based on any anime. It was just randomness...

*Rainy days*

Well the creation of my new avatar was the result of New Years Eve boredom and because it was raining outside. It was very dark and cold outside at 1 pm so I just huddled up in my room and went online. It's been raining nonstop. But the good thing is that there hasn't been any bad floodings (so far) nor any mudslides. I'm sure you all So. Californians remember the terrible beating nature gave us for like 2 weeks almost a year ago. There was a lot of rain. So. Cal is relatively dry. I think the rain average is like 11 inches a year (I'm not a meteorologist, so I'm not sure). A year ago, 32 inches of rain fell in 2 weeks (again, not sure but it was in the 30s...haha). And then the mudslides...The La Conchita mudslide claimed the lives of about a dozen people. That place is not very far from where I live and one my history teachers from high school had a friend whose entire family perished in the mudslide. It was bad. We don't want it to happen again...

The rain seems to be quite bad up north. I hope the rain is over for them soon ^.^ It better be!!!!

*New Years Celebration*

Hahaha...let's see...Well we had some family come over and all that fun stuff. There was a lot of food (yummm) and yes, it was Mexican food! Haha...

Well the countdown came and we all gave cheers and all that. We did the 12 grapes thing where each grape sorta represents a month in the year and you have to wish something for that month, then you eat it! That was fun. Oh yeah, for drinks we had Jose Cuervo Margaritas (can't go wrong with that...bwahaha). They were delish! My bro made them and it's kind of a mystery HOW he learned to make them since he's only 15 O.o Well they were good. Like right after I drank some I felt kinda sleepy, a slight indication that the tequila was a little too much for me. That thing has like 40% alcohol!!!!! But I have to admit that the margaritas were very good with the lime taste and the salty cup rim. FYI: I'm not a regular alcohol consumer...k?

*About 2005*

I think it was a good/bad year.

For me, it was a year I got learn more about myself and who I am in the world. I also realized that I needed to get a JOB if I wanted something. Hehe...Anyway, I also began college in the fall and realized that I shouldn't take my friends for granted. I love all of my friends ^^ They're such unique people. These are my high school friends like Anna, Carol, Monica and Jona whom I shared the past 4 years with and had to sadly part because of college. Nonetheless, we keep in touch through the wonderful Myspace.com ^^ We may make new friends and acquaintances in college, but nothing beats the trust high school friendships can create. I had Myspace (got it on Dec 24, 2004) and My Otaku (got it on Aug 26th, 2004) for 1 year too. Like always, the date Aug 26th has a special meaning for me...but it's a secret why!!! Bwahaha!

2005 was also a sad year. My aunty died, it was 1 year since my friend Joel died, Pope John Paul II died, the Katrina Hurricane affecting the people in New Orleans, the Rita Hurricane, the countless other hurricanes, the terrible earthquakes in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the floods and rains, the new diseases (bird flu) and the fact that the world is still at war.

*Resolutions for 2006*

-Do well in school
School is central in my life, as is my family (family is #1).

-Get a job
I've already applied to places during this Winter break ^^ I want to kinda help my parents out in repaying my loans.

-Improve my writing
I am a good writer, I think, but I want to define my style some more. I also have a lot of new ideas and unfinished projects. So, I want to kinda finish those ^____^



So...I guess that's all for now....


Later!!!
