2013 Year Ender
December 31, 2013
Once again this is my obligatory year ender post…
How was my 2013?
Let’s start with the ups.
- I went to Chicago to visit Rob for 4 weeks. We went on a mini road trip to visit a friend of mine in Wisconsin and as always road trips with Rob are awesome fun. We are planning on another visit for me next year in April/May.
- ROB PROPOSED! It’s quite a story but to cut it short, he took me to the Sears/Willis Tower in downtown Chicago, got on one knee on one those sky ledges and asked me to marry him. I, of course, said YES (after face-palming from embarrassment – there were a lot of people watching us). This explains kinda why we’re planning on trip for me back to go back. Apparently marrying a foreigner is a f*cking pain in the ass in this country so we’re thinking about getting the legal aspect of it settled there instead of going through the stupid bureaucratic bullshit here.
- I GOT A WEDDING DRESS! It was on sale and I scored it for USD$99! Eventually I will get around to blogging about the story behind the dress (I hope).
- I lost weight and gained it back and then some while visiting Rob. I came home and lost it all and then some. I’m happy to say I’m lighter than last year so I’m going to keep it up and try to lose more!
- The house is coming along. It has been locked for a couple of months now so I haven’t been able to visit and check out the construction as much as I used to.
- Added a new member to the family, Toby the Rottweiler.
Downs:
- Leo, my dog of almost 10 years died.
- Car fixes which have amounted to almost RM1k (which this can also be an “up” because it could’ve cost me more).
- Gotten sick more times this year than any other years I think, mostly BAD food poisoning. Like puking my brains out and high fevers kinda food poisoning.
- I would’ve love to save more but I didn’t so I guess that’s one thing I’m not too happy about.
- Work bums me out sometimes (like last year) and there seems to be more drama in the workplace. Office politics sucks!
- I’ve had friendships come and go, nothing I can do about it. I can’t control other people and how they behave or think.
That’s all for now!
Bye!
