I promised to blog last week — was it just last week? I feel like I’ve been gone for ages.

I got sick last Tuesday. I vomited everything I ate. I made it through all my classes but I felt so sick at the end of the day that I asked my sister to go up to the building to get me. The school personnel went looking for me and escorted me to the clinic. To tell you the truth, I was unimpressed by the college doctor.

The next day (Wednesday), I ended up in the hospital and missed my PROFES1 class. I was diagnosed with Acid Peptic Disease. I’ll be taking meds for two weeks.

I’ve decided to do two challenges this 2008.

• 100 Film Challenge
• 100 Book Challenge

If you want to join, just leave a comment on my latest blog post or email me.

I’ve been running scans on my laptop for the past two days now. Because I’ve spent all day just waiting for the scans to finish, I was able to write a background story for the new original fiction I’m planning to write and illustrate. I got inspired again after reading Sabriel (The Old Kingdom, Book 1) by Garth Nix.

My relatives weren’t able to come last night for New Year’s Eve. They said they’ll come by later. We have a LOT of food left. And I made ice cream (cookies and cream)! They’ve been after me to make some for two years now. haha! I always end up making refrigerated peach cake instead - they love that too. I made one and a half trays.

I was too lazy to get my camera so no pictures of the fireworks. And we decided not to buy anything - we just watched our neighbors light theirs up. Besides, my brother Karl and my cousin Yeye are too scared to set up fireworks/firecrackers. It only lasted for about an hour or two anyway. I couldn’t stand the smoke - it made my eyes water so I wore my protective goggles (the ones from my LASIK surgery). hehe. I looked really odd. Some of our neighbors stared at me but I didn’t care! At least my eyes weren’t red.

I hope you all had a great New Year’s Eve!

Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? I didn’t. haha. It doesn’t work for me. I just end up not accomplishing any of it.

Anyway…

Repeat after me! “I AM GOING TO HAVE A FANTASTIC 2008!!!“
