New Years Again!

This is my third new years post. Can you believe that? Where has the time gone? Well, i'm more than anxious to bid farewell to 2009. I'm looking for extremely better things this next decade. I have so much in store for the following year and i'm really looking forward to finally getting my career started!! FINALLY! April-May and i will be in training to be a nurse. FINALLY! I can't say that enough. I will make a huge list of resolutions that i plan on keeping this time around- Ironically, that's one of them. I have to keep my plans going. It's time to get focused!

Dog'on it.

Thank you, sweet dog god aka Ceasar Millan! We finally taught our mut how to shake! After 3-10,000,0000 days of sounding like a broken record, she has finally succumb to obeying our command: shake. I was getting really frustrated and impatient, but i guess it just serves as a small reminder that things take time. Rome wasn't built overnight, dogs won't learn how to shake after a few demonstrations and life won't automatically fall into place. With time and effort, things will eventually come together.

So, i'm kind of milking my last week here in Huntington Beach. It's really sad. I don't want to go! BUT Mother awaits..if only she would have informed me before i decided to spend 2000+ on moving; life would be so much easier. It's OK, i've experienced a bunch of new places and new emotions. I wouldn't trade it for the world-even my most negative times.

The other day, Little Cous and I went to Dog Beach down Goldenwest and that was fun. It was windy and chilly, but getting there on time for the sunset was a blessing! Oh, how i'll miss the beach air. Hayley would not stop barking!! It was incredibly annoying! That's just the next thing we'll have to work on. Wish me luck

'til next time! toodles.

I lost my sanity in Vegas

This Vegas trip, 2009, was in November instead of September and dear lord, was it freezing! Never again! I came back after 5. long. days. Human bodies are not concieved to stay in Vegas that long and we were the perfect example. We slept at 5 and woke up at 11 to get out by 3 to come back at 6 to get ready and drink by 9. Leave by 9:30 or 10:00, get in by 11:00, party until 4 and eat McDonalds, only to come back and pass out by 5AM; times four days. It was all well worth the sleep deprivation, hangovers, money and time. The first night Jo arrived first and we went over to Kahunaville for some cocktails - bad idea. Although the bartenders here offer quite the show, as they make the drink, they turned me into the show of the night by having me drink it. What the hell did they add in there? 99% Tequila, 1% mixer??? I was gone. From what the photos show, i learned that i love bushes, hate elevators and apparently, i can't seem to grasp why a woman with a baby didn't want to share an elevator with 6 intoxicated people? Like i had said that night: What is a baby doing out at 12 AM, anyway?!!

Anywho, it was Pacquioa weekend, so you could only imagine the horde of Filipinos! and coincidentally, the whole bay area was there. geez. We went to Prive on Friday and the new club where we were staying, XS! Sooooo beautiful and big. The line was fast, the cover was decent and we had a good time overall. No one puked. Yes. Yesssss. I consider that a success. On Sunday, we had our best day. Make it worthwhile when it's your last night, right?

We ate at Serendipity 3 (yep, just like the movie), and tried the famous Frozzzzzen Hot chocolate! It was perfect. I wish it didn't melt so fast 'cause i really wanted to get the Peanut Butter Frozzen HC to go. I just LOVE Peanut Butter!!!!!!!!!! So, less writing, more pictures.

Oh, Tequila. You do me so dirty.

Hi, how are you. Hello, how are you. Good morning, how are you. I just left two hours ago and now i'm back, how are you-how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you how are you -MALFUNCTION. The traditional greeting i hear approximately 20 times a day is beginning to morph from a sincere message of kindness to a set of programmed words. Now, don't get me wrong, I greatly appreciate your concern...when it is concern. . Next time i ask you how things are going, tell me about your life - I CARE! Hope you're doing well. xox

4 days into 4 weeks

wow. what a rollercoaster this has been. I've explored HB and have desparately explored the job market. How could a place of so much opportunity lead me the same old thing i was doing before? I'm homesick for a place i've never been. Where do you begin?



Well, here in the sunshine of SoCal i have relished the environment, food, family and of course, the beaches around me. I've realized that i miss my friends and Momma more than anything! I've learned a new thing everyday and have even been writing my serendipitous moments to live a more 'charmed' life. try it. they say it works wonders.

Day 4 in Sunny Socal

That sure is no understatement. It is scorching here! I kind of miss my clouds and sun peaking through. Home will always be home; it's where my heart always is. I bid farewell to the Bay Area on Monday and after crying my eyes out for 7 days, i had no more tears to shed. It's time to stop my fear of change from paralyzing an experience that could be the time of my life. I love my friends and family at home;i love the streets and parks;The cuisine *muah* fo' get about it, it's exquisite! but now my new 'home' will provide the same amount of excitement and debauchery as it did before. I've already embraced my personal traits that allow me to be secure and confident and i'm sure there are good people here. Good people lie everywhere. It's just a matter of finding the ones that share you interests and hold good morals.

Friends at home, i love you, i miss you and i'll see you soon :) Thanks for all your support.

Meet Bear aka (Bob) Marley

Marley! he's sooo fluffy and cute! like my own lifesize cotton ball that walks and talks. Took a few days to get the little sucker to like me, but now he's scratching at my door. WAHHHH. too bad my allergies are being more annoying than a million mosquitoes. damnit, i just let him in. i'm such a sucker.... oh well! goodnight guys!

untitled

yeah, you see it. an untitled blog because this will talk about absolutely (or positively as the Canadians write) nothing! except life. Last night was great, for it was meteor shower live in '09! I received one hour of sleep for every meteor that i saw leaving me at a grand total of..........drum roll, please. five. Now, I'm here, sitting at work, bright and early, lethargically snacking on a saltine cracker aka today's breakfast; It was so worth it. It was like camping with the best- we have our musically inclined, story-tellers, a solo photographer who captures the stars, comedians, flatulence enriched [ew] and mixed with alcohol we form a special cocktail that is on the top of the list of spirits. I'll have to plan a camping excursion soon. Any suggestions for campsites?

my move date is coming in two weeks. i'm counting down. watch out, Southern California! I'm excited. This is the beginning of struggles, life revelations, career opportunities, delicious cuisine and new friendships. Some good ol' challenges and chances to really rediscover what's important. can't wait.

Facebook is taking over the world!

i know you have one. join this fan page. it shows a very promising future.

Positivity on Facebook

500 days of summer

an honest and unconventional love story that captures the heart of the viewers; myself, being one. It ponders the very question that many movies(such as my sassy girl and you've got mail) put forth. FATE! so fate does exist? hm, some may get riled up on this question. After all, to be convinced that every person in this earth is destined to be friends with their friends or marry what we call 'the one', is hard to fathom, but can't a dreamer dream?

Monogomy? What?

Why do we get into relationships? We allow a person into our lives and into our hearts, risking heartbreak and emotional turbulence, hoping that the good times will outweigh the bad. We let our guard down in exchange for connection. We invest our very selves in something much bigger than us; the possibility of falling in love.

Finding “the one” is no easy task. It’s a strenuous game of trial and error that can leave us exhausted and crushed if we are not careful. In the search for connection we expose our most secret sides to another person, trusting that they will see something in us that is worth holding on to. But if finding “the one” is in fact so difficult and so wearying, why are we willing to give love a chance time after time?

These days, monogamy appears to be a dying concept. It seems as though less and less people are seeking something concrete and exclusive, opting instead for filler and fun. This concept can significantly complicate matters of relationships, because it can often be difficult to differentiate the ones who are seeking just another good time from the ones who are truly seeking someone to invest in.

In a world where the notion of monogamy seems to be disappearing as quickly as old-fashioned romance and dating, how safe is it to invest in the idea of something more? Are we just fooling ourselves, or do we really have another half? Are we betting too much in this love game, all the while setting ourselves up to be hurt?

Is monogamy dead?

Taken from havent got a prayer

Pyschology today

I love reading Psychology Today I came across this article advertised on the front page a while back-I thought that there was no such thing as accidental infidelity, but lo and behold, there IS, and Mr. Pittman, you explained it well. Is it just? No way! but his veracious explanations are convincing..Still, I think it's the lack of ones willpower to adhere to there own moral code..acts of the weak! The need for an ego boost; the need for a reason( to end a relationship);the need for a form of excitement. These are all things that could be fulfilled otherwise, and you cheat in order to attains such things? Anyway, check out the article! while you're at it, browse the site! I am sure you'll be able to grab something from it.

Simply amazing!

so, lately i've been incessantly "tumbling" on my new Tumblr . Yes, I'm sorry blogger, I've been cheating on you, but temptation was just too strong. Tumblr is pretty neat because it allows me to quickly glance at the multiple characters in the blogging world by simply opening up my dashboard. It has also exposed some of the most beautiful and inspirational photos i've ever laid eyes on! Overall, it's pretty awesome, but requires little to no thought while posting..So, here i am again. xoxoxo . On to other things, like the purpose of this post today; I ran across someone by the name of littlemisswhatever, as i was leafing through Deviantart.com, and i wanted to share her work because it was so satisfying to my senses! so much so that I am seriously scrounging up any ounce of change so i could hurry and purchase my SLR. See that penny on the ground? GIVE IT TO ME. *evil glare* yeah.

i love silhouette shots.

love shines

a very cute documentary that some and myself have found to be not only heartwarming, but very insightful. It's worth that hour. Why must we run whenever a problem arises? A small obstacle should be resolved through compromise. A relationship is not something that is readily at your disposal. Don't raise your voice, don't blame and communicate. love is funny thing.

Sharing is Caring.

Hehehe. I do this and i love to find them too.

Cupcakes and Chanel. Ain't it a looker?

Ok..i just thought these were way too cute to not share.. how cold would i have been to not show you Chanel decorated cupcakes? A modern Cruella Devil, i'm sure. Yay for Friday! Yay for Cupcakes! and another wa-wa-wee for my scars healing and a weekend to visit the brother in sunny San Diego.. 2009 not even summer and i'll be dipping my little tootsies into the sand once again. excited.

I Heart J-MRAZ

The mirror image of a soul that I'm dying to meet! Can everyone please just read his blog and learn a thing or two? More mindfulness, value yourself, stop consuming yourself in the pressures of society, stop speaking negative of others! I hate that so many people are caught up in this. Explore your hobbies, find new friends, travel more-That's life. Just relax!! OH.. and for your hearing pleasure i shall hook you up with something that this certain monster gave to me not too long ago. It's called a mash up, i guess, but it's worthy of your time. ALL of it is. Milkman, listen to me!

Let it snowwww!

Not too long ago, a bunch of the troops set off to an adventure in the fresh powder. My second time snowboarding, but a first for my little ride snowboard! Whoo hoo! With the fact that my feet were numb for over 5 hours aside, i could proclaim the trip successful! We spent one day at the Sierra resort which was beautiful and was composed of various runs..too bad I'm a straight-up amateur. The SUPER short bunny slope and I were becoming well-acquainted! I wish i would have had a chance to hop on the other slopes; i heard they were really good. On a good note, I showed progression thanks to Nammy poo, Ray Ray, Crystal so.....um..THANK YOU! If there's one thing i learned, it's that balance is key! I can't wait to go again! and if i can't make it out, i always have the water to turn to. *hello summer sun and waves* Any who, here's some pictures from my vacay!

Heading out in the freezing cold to go CLUBBING (!!???)

The gang at Club VEX in the Harrah. Male Go-go dancers? Wowee zowee!

And now i have to say...i'm joining the Nikon club! After playing around with Nam Nam's camera during the Tahoe trip. I just couldn't say no to purchasing a SLR. WHY am i so easily lured into purchasing these outrageously expensive contraptions?! I'll be doing some major exploring this year, so get ready for some rocking pictures.

You sicko!

Oh my god, you controversial genius. I love how you expose the truths and enlighten us blind people with facts that make us scream out vulgar profanities and curse our country..

Thanks to my BESTIE, Gina, i attentively watched this documentary on health care in America.

After watching Sicko i blurted out some profane things somewhere along the lines of . ."fdai^*^&^45eif2$$%( fiei$#@$# , Bush" I am so happy that our great Obama will be in office as of January 20!! Don't miss inauguration day!C-SPAN will be doing live broadcasting 8:30 AM PT! & just click the link and watch the documentary. Support socialized healthcare!

Can you just take one minute?

Just one to sit here and gawk at him. SILENCE.1..2....4.....60. okay, the heavenly minute is over. Why is he so damn gorgeous! As you besta know my hubby, John, released an album, Evolver, a few months ago. I just can't get over how amazing he is. I sit in bliss as his tracks play, daydreaming about our lazy Sunday morning laying in bed as he gently strokes my hair and serenades me with his sexy, tranquilizing voice. Whoa, i entered a trance-like state for a second. One day he'll realize i was the only girl for him, but until i enter heaven, his picture and songs will have to satisfy my desire.
Come hither & take a listen, but take caution! Either sit or lay down, for he may just make you very very weak in the knees and quite possibly knock you off your feet.

Shhhhhh-ecrets.

On post secret this week i found one i could totally relate to! and then there's another one that i thought was just so cute. You know how i am when it comes to romance. I am completely and disgustingly googly eyed, cheesy-smiled, hands-clasped in joy SAPPY. If i may add, Slumdog Millionaire was executed extremely well and made me elicit the most nauseating reactions known to man;Especially, at the end *star eyes*

I'm sure you could figure it out and you could relate. I still have to send one of these suckers in.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the excessive amount of exclamation points are necessary. 2009 is here *sigh* As we get older the time goes faster. How sad, but then again, its just a reminder to live every day to its capacity! So, one of my many resolutions this year is to be more organized because frankly my life has become a pile of papers and mornings of "where the hell did i put my pants?" as i rush out the door trying to beat the clock. I just found this great site that has a ton of printables to keep your life manageable organizedhome.com. We'll see how long i follow it for, but you can't say i didn't try. I must report one thing before i end this oh so helpful post because i'm especially proud of myself for this accomplishment! I made it in early to work! Day one of punctuality. COMPLETE! HOLLA! Whoot whoot. Enjoy your weekend friends! and in the words of Oprah, "Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right!"

warm wishes and best of luck for 2009
