Pocket Pix: January Photos

Categories: Picture(s), Pocket Pix, Whoo Hoo

I mentioned before that this year I wanted to actually take a photo everyday for a year. And, shockingly, I’ve been keeping up with it! All photos will be posted on Pocket Pix. Don’t always update the photoblog every day but I do make a point to take a photo at least every day :D! I mentioned also in the new year that at the beginning of a new month I’d post a few photos from the previous month. It’s a few weeks into February … so better late than never. Each image will be shown with a link to the blog post under it along with the day and title.  January was a great month overall :)

Day 1: Happy New Year

I had a great new year’s day! And it would not have been complete without a drink ;)

Happy Birthday to Me!

Categories: Friends & Family, Picture(s), Whoo Hoo, Work

It’s weird to think I am 26 now, especially considering people ask if I am 18/19 and I get cared for R rated movies :P Birthday was on the 17th (it’s now about 15 ’til 2am so technically it’s the 18th) and I had a GREAT birthday.

Woke up this morning at 5:30am for work (not so fabulous), but overall work was a great day :) Coworkers kept wishing me a happy birthday and we even had pizza for lunch at work. After work I bought a few things and headed to Michael’s arts and crafts store to pick up some stuff to make a World of Warcraft inspired bag. Jose and I waited around the apartment before going out for dinner. He ordered me something and it finally came after 6:30pm. I was shocked when he told me to close my eyes and he presented me with a dozen red roses :D

Initially I thought of The Hunger Games and President Snow, haha (which by the way, I finished reading the final book today SO GOOD!) but they were a nice surprise. After the pretty roses came we left to go eat at Genghis Grill, which neither of us have ever been at. Basically you get a bowl and go to a buffet style area and pick what meats and vegetables you want (all raw) which you can also add a wide array of seasoning too. Then you pick a sauce for your dish as well as a starch and they cook it for you and bring it to  your table when it’s finished. It was SO good and we plan on eating there again really soon.

I had chicken, steak, carrots, broccoli, and white rice in a honey soy sauce. Was very good, also had cheesecake for dessert :) Also got to raid in World of Warcraft tonight with guildies for the first time which was a lot of fun (even won some nice pieces!).

Overall I had an amazing birthday. Next weekend I am going home to visit family and to celebrate my birthday again :) Been getting lovely cards from family members also wishing me a happy birthday! This was also my first birthday with my iPhone so I was shocked with how many facebook comments, tweets, and forum birthday wishes I was receiving :) Thanks again everyone!

X-Mas, New Year, & 366 Photos (Hopefully)

Categories: Misc., Pocket Pix, Whoo Hoo

I hope everyone had a great holiday and is enjoying the new year :) I got lots of goodies for Christmas (clothing, money, giftcards, movies, and more), but my most used gift is a kindle! Got a Kindle Touch (so did my sister but mine doesn’t have 3G) and I LOVE IT. I already finished the first book in The Hunger Games and am currently halfway through the second. I find it so much easier to read on then the iPad (at least when it comes to reading for 2+ hours straight) and the compact size of it.

Besides enjoying the holidays and the time I spent with my family I have not been up to much. I have been applying to lots of local and some not-so-local design jobs in hopes of finding something (I really don’t want to do retail any longer than I have to!). So my fingers are crossed on that :) Classes start tomorrow and it’s a great feeling knowing that I don’t have to return!

Anyone have any New Year’s resolutions?  I tend to make the same ones every year. Do well in school (or now I guess do well at my job?/find a new job?), eat better, exercise, be better person, etc. But once again I want to try to do a 365 project … or this rather, it’s a 366 project! I’ve done these in the past (most recent was around July 2011 I did it for about 2 weeks, haha) so I am reviving the website I made for the last one I attempted and deleting the old posts and starting again!

So, Pocket Pix is back :) I literally decided today to do this (yes I realize it’s the 3rd :P) but thankfully enough I took photos the last two days on my phone anyways. I also love the idea of having a seperate website for a photo-a-day because I can upload them straight from my phone plus it’s easier to share with people. If you’re doing one too let me know! Also link me to your site if you’re uploading them to a specific location, would love to keep track of others and maybe we can motivate one another! Even added a Pocket Pix category here, at the end of each month I’ll post a few of my favorite photos that I took.
