6. Read Romeo and Juliet

I've now officially read Romeo and Juliet.  Somehow I skipped that in High School... and I know I wasn't missing much, but it's a classic... and one I wanted to read for a while... just cuz of all the frequentlly quoted text from it. :)  It's actually not half shabby I say :)  Anyone may oppose.  It's just my opinion.

By the way, the two books... I started with the Oxford Shakespeare one, and I was doing ok, but I found when they had their monologues, sometimes I'd lose interest, usually because of a lack of understanding, so when I realized my uncle had a version that had both the "original" text (I learned in the Oxford that apparently there was no original script, theirs was devised from what people said, wrote down, transcribed, etc.) and a modernized verision on the adjacent page.  It was great cuz I didn't have to read the lame modern version, I just had it there for those random inexplicable figures of speech.

[ 35. Write and send a letter once a week ] - update

I don't know how I'm going to fix this one cuz I can't go back in time, but there are some weeks I send off up to four letters, but then I go a week or two without writing... =/ any suggestions?

68. Make tamales

Lita taught Moni and I how to make 'em Friday!! =D and dare I say it's the best she's ever made... I say it's cuz Moni and I helped out! ;)  We made 36 total! and I reckon at least a dozen of 'em were eaten day of!  Oh! and for those of you who don't know... they're basically... meat (in this case pork and chicken) and an olive, sometimes a hot pepper slice and an egg slice, though not this time, wrapped in a cornmeal and spices mix :) so good when done well!

44. Go on a “date” with each of my direct family members #1

So I took my sister for sushi the night before Valentine's day... we were going to get a love boat, but we were not that hungry, and she didn't want to try all of the ones it came with, so we just got:

          Ebi Maki Norimaki              and  a half order of Prawn Tempura!!

Needless to say they were delicious! =D and we had some fun mixing things for the Maki! :) ... we actually asked for hot sauce to mix with the soya sauce :p it wasn't bad! and satisfied our want for a spicy something... but I think I liked the classic soya sauce with ginger and wasabi better :)

Funny story : to decide what kind of sushi to get we flipped a coin (like B-dette would!) and... it fell into my cup of water!! hahaha! ok... maybe not so funny when you tell the story, but hillarious at the time ;p

          my chomping shot                ;p            her Aaaaaagh shot

Our happy together shot! <3

49. Have two jobs at once

I have two jobs!! I got out of work at ON today to go to BBW!! ... still working on pictures... and still working on getting a better second job ;) ... but I don't wanna jinx it, so details will come!

k! so that job didn't work out, but I do still have two jobs! =D one still at ON the other at iStock! =D  Not really working at the one though... :)

72. Write something in my journal every day for a month

I honestly thought I'd forget and have to restart all over again really close to the end, but once you get into a habit of it... well... I couldn't go to sleep without writing!!  I'm gunna keep this up! :) cuz it's defs helpful! :)

76. Learn to, and make, crema volteada

We had a Death by Chocolate activity in RS today! and I made it!! with instructions from my mommy! :) and it turned out good! ... I think it was the only not actually chocolate related dessert there ;p  [tastes better than it looks ;p I even got compliments! =D ]

24. Have “coffee” or a meal with a friend from elementary school

so... it was actually DQ drinks :) (I had an Arctic Rush ;) mmm cherry flavoured ;p) and we just sat and talked... mostly I listened :) and learned about what happened to a bunch of my old classmates :) <3 it's fun, sad, crazy, weird, amazing, etc. to see how much we all grew up. 

Here's us! All grown up!

77. Practice piano every day for 3 weeks

I even practiced the day after it was all done! I want to keep this up! The only problem is in my sister being quite annoyed at me whenever I do... but that's only a minor problem because generally I can practice when she's at school! :)

Yay!

PS- This is my beautiful piano! Whom I can't bring myself to name... and too many times is used as a doorside coffee table :( *hearts*
