i forgot to add that i got my ears pierced in january. about time LOL parents still have not seen it. although, at lunch i sat next to mom and she was looking towards my ear. so i don't know.

my application for credit card balance transfer got declined. that sucks cuz my apr is SO high. i swear the first thing i do with my first paycheck is to pay off my stupid chase credit cards. the apr is stupid ridiculous!!

i finally bit the bullet and scheduled my exam for the 31st. i gotta get real serious about studying. i have 13 days to study!! yipes!

hopefully i'll pass. so that could mean in a month, i can apply for registry and move the fuck out. or find a job that's not as far and move in with the fiance... i have my fingers crossed.

HOLY CRAP!

i can't believe i haven't updated this blog since june! well, actually i CAN believe it. but... so much has happened... i guess i just forgot about this blog =(

so for catching up. i graduated in august. i still have not taken my boards. i'm scared to. but i swear i will take them this month. it sucks ass though because all the state facilities still have hiring freezes! i have no idea what i'm going to do. my only choice might be coalinga. i really, really, really hope i don't have to work there. i don't know if i can deal with a bunch of sex offenders. yipes.

i went to the motherland in november. i was supposed to stay for 5 weeks but only ended up staying 4. i just couldn't take it. the stupid mosquitos... god! it was a miserable time. i love bandung! i love lake toba! the rest can suck it LOL oh wait, i love lombok too. fuck bali. i miss my little cousins. they were so cute and entertaining. it made me sad because i don't get to see them grow up and they won't really know me =(

for christmas, the boy bought me a bike of my choosing. so i picked this gary fisher cruiser-ish bike. really cute. really heavy. can't go up the hills! yikes. and then, in january, he got me a fixie! it was a surprise! upgraded it a little. got a brooks saddle and i changed the pedals and toe clips. the stupid ass plastic toe clips were not cutting it. i almost fell like twice either trying to put a foot in or taking my foot out. next on the agenda would be the wheels but i'm in no hurry. i'm still trying to figure out what color scheme i'm going for. at first it was all black with a purple chain... but i'm not too sure anymore.

the biggest news is...

I GOT FUCKING ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!

after all the times he told me to just be patient... so much so that i just gave up. i lost hope. i cried watching movies with wedding scenes cuz i thought i'd never have it. he told me that he wanted to ask me a year ago but didn't feel right because he wanted everything perfect. so he finally started thinking up plans in october... he bought me the nicest ring in the world while i was gone... and proposed to me in a hot air balloon over wine country (temecula) it was the best surprise ever! that place is so magical. if i have money, i'd like to get married there. but i think we're leaning towards eloping. it's so funny. all these times when i would talk about weddings... i always tried to convince him to elope... and now... it's weird, i don't mind having a wedding. it's just... we don't have money. so i think eloping would be the best option for us. besides, the day we wanna get married (our anniversary) is on a tuesday. makes the most sense to elope... at least to me =)

so yeah... damn, i need a job!!!
