January

January was an excellent month for me. For starters, my birthday is on the 15th. It's the beginning of a new year, so I had resolutions. My birthday was excellent. I went to go-karts and spent time with my family. I got a lot of stuff for my birthday too. I remember eating my favorite food and all. Grades reset, too, because the new semester started. I got put on a lot of artists too that I still listen to these days. For example, Weezer is a band I enjoy listening.

Summer

Last summer was great and memorable. I hung out with lots of my friends. I also went to my friend's house and had a sleepover playing games a lot. I remember getting lots of games too at my party. It was so great not waking up early for school too. My brother told me he was coming for Thanksgiving too. I didn't like how school was right after though. I had a blast with friends and even flew a drone, but we lost one of the propellers. I got a lego set that I liked building. That's basically it for my summer.

Thanksgiving break

Another top 5 moment for me last year was the Thanksgiving break. My older brother is a nuclear submarine engineer. He's in the Navy so he lives states away and I barely get to see him. In the Navy, they give you liberty days which means days off you can use for holidays. My brother finally got enough to stay for the whole Thanksgiving break. We picked him up from the airport and we just hung out. He bought tickets to a Caifanes concert and it was amazing to see them live even though they are pretty old now. We watched series and played games since we have a lot of the same interests. There was again no school too which was a bonus. He left a day or two before break ended for me, so the rest of the days I just played with my friends.

Pasta

It's kinda funny how you put a waffle as a memorable moment, but this one is sort of similar. My mom made my favorite food in December. Spaghetti is my favorite food and I don't know why but this time the one she made tasted too good. It's the best pasta I've ever eaten and can still remember. Maybe it was the day or something but it was like the first time trying spaghetti. I'm a picky eater too so that was just amazing too. I can still taste the marinara sauce is I think about it. I asked my mom and she said she didn't do anything different so I have no idea why it tasted so good. I wish I could see how she made it to make it again exactly like that but to this day it was the best pasta I've eaten. This was a random memorable moment, but I still think about it when I think about spaghetti.

Strays

Another memorable moment in 2024 was cats. I've always been a cat person since I was younger. I used to have a cat called tiger, but he didn't return one day. I had Tiger for like 6 years before he didn't return and it was heartbreaking. There was a stray outside my place and we didn't adopt her, but we started to feed her. She came by more often to eat and some other cats came, but didn't return. Later another stray came and he stuck around too. I don't have pictures of them, but they just come by to eat and they are so playful. The second ones cat breed is called a toyger which is similar to tiger. he remind me of tiger so the stays are a memorable moment of 2024 for me.
