Hey just wanted to put down some thoughts before the new decade. This year has been great and I've gone through so many big steps in my life this year that I gotta put it down somewhere. I've been through a lot and it's really shown me who I am and what really matters. I've met so many amazing people at UVA and have been involved in a lot that I just wanna quickly shout out my thoughts because I really don't want to forget how significant 2009 has been for me. I also want to say some quick words to the people that really mean a lot for me this year and have always been there for me.

Significant Events For Me in 2009:

  • Got accepted into UVA

  • Graduated from High School

  • Turned 18

  • Amazing Summer with Teck Fresh

  • Lived on my own for more than 2 weeks

  • Joined OYFA/VSA

  • Let loose and started to go out

  • Met a bunch of awesome people

  • Met the Weedon Crew

  • Formed Team Vianh

  • Got an HD Camera

A couple years ago I wrote a pretty lengthy note on New Years Eve that was a reflection of who have meant a lot to me in my life up to that point. Looking back on what I wrote, my feelings are still the same today. So I wanted to revise that quote save me time to publish this note before its 2010.

"For the rest of '09, I feel so lucky to have met so many new people and friends. Many have brought me new ideals and perspectives about life, that I feel has improved my life and changed me for the better. Some of have made me laugh, some of them have encouraged me, and some just have made me happy. To be very brief, some of these people that I'm thankful for meeting this year or have gotten closer to are Alex Chou, ELDEREN LEE, Chris Kim, Sohwa Kim, Angela Kim, Anessa Caalim, Keia Del Rosario, Sofie Bitangcol, Emily Chau Ian Fajardo, Kyle Powers, Mama Tina Fernandez, Antonio Navarro, Lorenzo, CHI Kim Ho, Josh Borden, Crystal Lu, Agnes Kim, Sarah Seo, Jason Kim, Andria Song Tri Nguyen, Valerie Cardenas, Adrianne Castro, Natalie Nguyen, Vicky Nguyen, Sachi Ainge, Sarah Pietropaoli, Charles Wood, Nicole Martinez, Lynn Huang, Liz Kakouris, Kevin Padilla, Riz Magalong, Bobby Shoemaker, Alex Parker, and Zack Davis."

If I left you out sorry! The good thing about writing a note is that I can always edit it ;) I know this note is redundant seeing how I posted a Thanksgiving shout out last month, but 2009 really was a good year for me and everyone I've met has touched me in some way and I want them to know it :)

New Years Resolutions? I might as well post that up too right?

Goals for 2010

  • Make it onto the UVA Dean's list

  • Make a beautiful/funny HD film at UVA

  • Learn to dance/bboy

  • Go to Slaughter Gym and get big

  • Reconnect with people I've lost contact with

  • Meet more amazing people

  • Less junk food

  • Give more than I receive

  • Streak the Lawn

I hope 2010 brings all of you a year full of happiness, success, peace, and prosperity. Lets keep the good times rolling :)

ANYWAYS, HAPPY NEW

YEAR FOLKS!
