The 2008 hate

2008 was a rough year. I went from happy newspaper part-timer/billabong full-timer to newspaper full-timer/billabong part-timer and just when I thought I've found my career niche now I'll be back to newspaper part-timer/billabong full-timer. I've changed my health insurance 3 times (4 of you count the three months I was on COBRA). My boyfriend said he was going to move back to Maui in May to end up only coming back 2 weeks later to finish school then move back to Maui for good in October. I paid $60 bucks at the gas pump to fill up my '99 Camry. And the worst part was losing my dear Grammsy.

I know, I know, my year could've been way worse, and I am grateful for everything in my life that didn't go wrong. It's just that overall, it was a pretty crappy year. The year wasn't a total waste I did get to see Chris Breezy in concert, fell in love with Gossip Girl, went to my first Birthday Bash, voted for Barrack Obama, my Project Runway pick finally won, got a blackberry, saw HSM3 in theaters, and whoa did Lauren and Heidi actually have a civil conversation last week on the Hills?!?

I'm SO ready for 2008 to be over, only about 14 hours left. Time for a new year and a fresh positive start.

someone recently asked me to name restaurants I just can't live without, so here's my list:

Kua Aina
Masa Sushi
Aiea Manapua
Hank's Haute Dogs
Kalapawai Market & Deli
Shokudo
Hy's Steakhouse
Varsity (formerly Magoo's) or Red Lion's Waikiki
California Pizza Kitchen
Highway Inn

If I don't go to Disneyland for my birthday... I'm using the money I've saved up to buy a new macbook and a blackberry.

Congrats to my friend Jen, she got into the JET program and will be going to Japan to live and teach, I'm SO excited for her!
