4 years ago, I remember watching the Beijing 2008 Olympics Opening Ceremony with my cousin April in my Tita Mitzi's LA condo. We were sitting on the couch in 100 degree weather wearing party clothes while downing a bottle of Malibu Rum with Pineapple Orange Juice. Fast-forward to today (well technically last Friday, July 27th). I watched the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics in my living room with Onell while having Indian food for dinner...in New York City. I cannot believe it has been 4 years since that crazy 2008 summer. LOL. Man, I feel old!!! But so many things have changed since. I now know what my priorities are in life (sometimes....chos). Instead of going out that Friday night with Onell, I decided to stay home and worked on my marketing plan, which was due on Tuesday at noon, but since I'm "responsible", I turned it on Monday before I started work so that I didn't have to worry about it anymore.
August 2, 2008 - I boarded the PR 102 flight alone from MNL to LAX... August 2, 2012? Will be boarding flight CX xxx from JFK to MNL right after my last final.. Who would've thought that I'd be in this position four years ago? Def not me... Tihee.. All I can say is that my life turned out so much better than what I have ever hoped it would be. I would've never thought that it would be this amazing. Thank YOU, Lord. :)

I was supposed to reward myself with a charm from Tiffany & Co to end my first year in Business school. My mom got me a charm bracelet for Christmas 3 years ago, and I realized a month ago how awesome it would be if I would buy a charm for every little accomplishment I make. After having lunch with Onell yesterday, I was supposed to go to Tiffany's to buy the charm I want, and run errands i.e. buy the stuff my sisters and friends asked for, but we decided to go Hermes before going to Onell's store (MK)... 10 minutes of being in the store and I found myself handing the sales associate my debit card.. Bye bye paycheck.. I got this gorgeous Kelly Double Tour in black leather. I've always wanted it (in white though) but I said to myself I should save up for other stuff before buying it.. No regrets though because I deserve good things, we all do!
I only buy stuff if I can pay for it, otherwise, all I can do is drool. Hahaha. And because of that purchase, I don't have shopping money for my trip to Hong Kong next week. Totally worth it, though. So no regrets... Now, back to studying (and finishing touches on packing).
