These are some of the people, places, things that I have come accross in 2008. It was truly my year to come out. So many changes, so many firsts, some lasts. I experienced many things I was unable to do in the years past, and I guess I can say the wait made every new experience even sweeter. It made 2008 great. With changes come more changes. New exciting experiences were short lived as college began. But that was the past and now it is 2009, the year for more change and improvement.

Birthday

Firstly I would like to thank Khanh, Jenny, Andy, Jason, Mike, Daniel, Tien, Jeremy, Chris, and Anna for being the greatest friends a guy can have. It means alot to know that people actually care about me. Thank you all so much for the ipod nano. I really appreciate it. I can't describe in words of how grateful I am- but know it is alot. Now I actually have an ipod that works!

I would also like to thank everyone else for the birthday wishes and everything else! It is what makes a birthday really happy

Friendship

"Now friendship possesses many splendid advantages, but of course the finest thing of all about it is that it sends a ray of good hope into the future, and keeps our hearts from faltering or by falling by the wayside. For the man who keeps his eye on a true friend, keeps it, so to speak, on a model of himself. For this reason, friends are together when they are separated, they are rich when they are poor, strong when they are weak, and - a thing even harder to explain - they live on after they have died, so great is the honor that follows them, so vividly the memory, so poignant the sorrow."- Cicero On Friendship


In Cicero's "On Friendship" he said that a lifelong friend should be: trustworthy, loyalty, honest, reliable, share the same virtues, and share common interests. Not many people possess all of these attributes. I, however, am lucky enough to know a handful.
