And if you close your eyes...

Slowly but surely getting to post more on here. It may not seem like it to you, but I am. Just wanted to do a quick post on some awesomeness I was given recently.

As you may know, earlier this month I turned 22. I feel like I've been celebrating this entire month because I would receive random gifts from people I love, including Veronica. She got me these wolf tattoo tights and I was ecstatic. If you don't know about about my extreme love of wolves, now you do. Smiles.

Aren't they amazing? I went to work in them and a bunch of people thought I had a thigh tattoo. I've definitely thought about a thigh tattoo or just a tattoo in general but I'm still debating on what I would get. But it's a possibility for sure.
Anyway, thought I would share this with you guys. I'll have a real outfit post for you soon.

Dancing through the fire...

Yes we are well into November and I'm barely posting about shenanigans from Halloween.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with midterms and working and all that good stuff. I feel like I'm always making excuses on here and it makes me mad. 

I love talking to you guys about my life and showing you what I'm up to. I promise this month will be better. So here's a little quick post from Halloween night.

There wasn't much time to take pictures since we were havin' a ball but I did the best I could. We mainly just hung out in downtown Santa Cruz which was insane since they close off Pacific Ave. on Halloween night. I hung out with some awesome peeps at the Red Room and it was great.

As for my costume, I knew I wanted to be a zombie of some sort because Veronica is amazing at doing the make up for it and also why wouldn't you want to be a zombie? Duh. Plus I didn't really want to have to buy a costume so I just looked in my wardrobe and found a lumberjack outfit. Plus it was functional and comfortable enough to wear downtown, walking a lot and gettin' dranks and all that jazz. Smiles.

We jumped never asking why...

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted on this.

Life has been grand in every which way, trying to balance my time between school life, work life, and my social life. It's a struggle but for the first time in a while, I'm extremely happy with pretty much everything. And that's that. I'm just happy.

I just wanted to post about my lady love bester's 21st birthday that happened over a week ago.
Her birthday basically spanned over a whole weekend and I hope she had a grand time. We've been waiting for both of us to be 21 for almost four years now and I just feel like this is one of the many milestones we'll hit together. I never expected to get a best friend in college but here she is. I can honestly say I wouldn't have been able to get through the past three years without her. But enough of the sappy. Smiles.

I got to wear my new favorite dress on her birthday night. A week beforehand, I had treated myself and splurged on some UNIF and I have no regrets. This dress is everything to me and it's even on display in my room. Is that too much?

This last photo is us celebrating at midnight. And it's basically my favorite picture.

Only two posts in October, I know. That's really bad. But the holidays are coming up and I'm stoked.
I'll really try and post more on here because I do miss it when I haven't in a while.

See you soon. xo

You make me glow...

This week has been weird. Has this week been weird to you? I don't know. Maybe it's because I spent this last weekend at home and I'm still recovering. I just want it to be the weekend already.

So I basically hung out with my family all weekend and had a grand old time just chilling. I missed home a ton so it was good going back for a little. 

It was nice being back especially because I'm actually staying in Santa Cruz this summer until I graduate next year. Yay! I just found out yesterday that the place that we wanted just approved us and I'm super stoked on that. It's really exciting to actually move into a new place by yourself that's not on campus or your parents' house ya know. I can't wait. Smiles.

Besides being stoked about all about that good stuff, I think just being in a new environment will be good for me. I'll definitely miss a bunch of people from Monrovia but I think meeting new people is great. This might be too much info but I've said worse on this blog before, I mean I think. Save for a few people, my friends suck. I don't know if "friends" is even the right word anymore. I can't wait to see who will actually take the time to visit me over the summer. I can't wait for summer.

But anyway, not going to bring you down. This is a good thing. Smiles.

Oh and I promise to try and blog more often. xo

By the way, no judging, but I'm kind of obsessed with this song. Sang it all weekend with my sister.

So I turned 21 yesterday!

On New Year's I celebrated with my sister and parents in LA and we had lunch at Tart which was delish. On my actual birthday, I hung out with my parents and then went out for drinks with a couple people in Pasadena. Fun stuff. Smiles.

I feel like I've been celebrating every day. I might as well live it up I guess since I'm going back to Santa Cruz pretty soon. I do miss that place but it's nice being around family and old friends.

But anyway, I got these amazing boots from my family. They know me so well. So thankful.

Hope you guys are having a good week! xo

Watch me as I glide...

It's that time of year again, everyone! 

It's the time when we look back at the memories we've made this past year, whether it's the adventures or the mistakes, and we wipe that clean and start over. Smiles.

2012 was pretty good for me, unexpected but pretty good. I always say unexpected is a good thing. If everything was predictable, we'd lead boring lives and that's not fun. So I hope 2012 was good for you guys too. Here are my favorite moments.

May 2013 be even better. xo

I'll only stay with you...

Yesterday was my amazing sister's birthday. We celebrated all week and it was pretty bittersweet because I left for school today. I am blogging in a hotel room as we speak.

Last night, Rosee came with me as my date and we went out for drinks with my sis and some of her friends at King's Row Gastropub in Old Town Pasadena. I've gotta say, it's my new favorite night time place. It was pretty hoppin'. I had a great time and she had a great time and I'm glad.

I was really happy I got to celebrate her birthday with her. Since I've been in college we've always celebrated in Santa Cruz every year, but somehow this year it worked out. I love that lady.

I'm going to miss her a lot. xo

See you all again soon, and I'll be in Santa Cruz then! Smiles.

There's nothing I would change...

Part 2 of the Veronica Extravaganza

I know the posts from Veronica's visit are kind of sporadic and I apologize for that. There's just stuff happening in between that I have to blog about so yeah. So about two weeks ago we went to Warped Tour in Pomona. It was my third year in a row going so it's sort of become a tradition. I've gone with the Andy man every year and we have welcomed a Veronica into our two-person club. Smiles.

This is Alfie Scully of We Are The Ocean. Aren't we cute?

I didn't get as sore as I have gotten in previous years from pushing and hitting people because most of the bands we watched this year didn't require that from where we were standing. But my shoulders are basically black. My arms and my forehead were the only parts of my body that got tan. However, I still had one of the best times I've had at Warped ever because I was with my shenanigan buddies. 

My middle school and high school dreams came true since we saw The Used, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday, and All Time Low. I was super pissed that we missed You Me At Six since they let us in late. It didn't make shit of sense because doors opened at 11:30am but their set time was at 11:10am. But what can you do?

So in last year's Warped Tour post, I told you all about this little band Andy and I literally stumbled upon called It Boys! and we ended up loving them. We saw them again this year and that was fun. But anyway, the same thing happened this year. We saw this UK band We Are The Ocean and I fell in love, not only with their music, but some of the band members as well. They were at the entrance telling people to watch them and we ended up seeing them. They were great and meeting them was fun, plus they're not hard to look at. Very handsome men. Smiles.

It was such a great time. It won't be the same next year without Andy since he'll be gone on his mission, but we'll definitely be there in his honor. I really want to go back and relive this day, it was amazing.

I see right through you...

I might just talk today since I haven't done that in a while. Maybe I'll put some pictures up from Memorial Day weekend. We'll see how I'm feeling by the end of this.

First off, happy June to all. I posted a total of three times last month which is not good. Only one of the posts was an Inspiration Wednesday too, so I feel bad about neglecting that. I'm almost done with school this year, only a couple weeks until I go home, so I'm counting the days. And I will definitely post a lot more this summer. Smiles.

This past weekend was somewhat enjoyable. I got to spend a lot of time with my family and friends which is always good. We all went to the fiesta, ate yummy food, and had a grand old time. I even had time for some retail therapy and bought some stuff. Maybe you guys will see them in a outfit post pretty soon.

So that was nice. If you follow me on Twitter or Tumblr, you may already know how I'm feeling up here in Santa Cruz. Some stuff happened a couple days ago over the weekend, and it's literally exhausting me. I'm just annoyed and tired of it all, every day I'm just kinda bummed out and all I want to do is eat food and watch Netflix in the comfort of my room. I don't usually tell people why I'm feeling a certain way, but that's my cross to bear I guess. Also, the having to go to school part of all this just puts another damper on what I want to do. But I guess that's life. You think it's going a certain way and then it becomes a crap festival, and everyone only cares about their problems. So yeah that's basically how I'm feeling right now.

This whole week has just been really weird. That Monday off of school kinda threw me off too. I want to go home so badly and hang out with my sister who is basically the only person I can count on. I love that lady.

But enough of me pooping on your party. I'll reward you beautiful people for getting through me talking my face off and complaining. Here are some captures of my weekend with lovely people.

Sorry if this was super long and annoying. Just wanted to put some stuff out there. Maybe I should start making rant videos on Youtube. Anyway, I'll see you soon. Hopefully I'll be in a better mood. All I can say is thank God it's Friday. Maybe I'll have a date night with my girl Veronica. We deserve it.
Love you all.

We're doing it right...

It feels like it's been forever since I've posted on this. I don't know what it is but lately, I've just been a lazy bum. Maybe it's because I'm going home for Memorial Day weekend and I can't wait to see my fambam and besties that I can't really concentrate on anything else except for food and my phone.

So today I thought I would just update you on some things and talk about my weekend which was super fun. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know I went to Santa Cruz Flea Market two days in a row with Veronica and got some fun stuff. It was so hot this weekend, I kinda got a weird tan. Also there was a Pride festival on Saturday which was fun too. There was free food and performances and rainbows and all that jazz.
Also did anyone see the solar eclipse?

DIY WOLF SHIRT - EBAY/ FLORAL JEANS - F21/ MINNETONKA BOOTS/ VINTAGE DOONEY BAG/ LE SPECS SUNGLASSES

A couple other things.
I'm starting to get into this 90's grunge funk and I love it. Just take a look at my Tumblr. I wore these floral jeans basically all weekend. I'm also wearing them as I write this. Smiles. I bought them last year but I gained weight so I stopped wearing them. They fit me again and I forgot how much I love them.
Also t-shirts. I forgot how awesome just a simple t-shirt and jeans combo looks. I got this wolf shirt (yup, wolves again) on Ebay and cut it up. It's like my new favorite shirt.
I absolutely can't wait for my summer to start. I hate seeing my friends being done with school already. I'm super jelly. Anyway.
See you soon. I'll try harder this time. Last time I said that I didn't go on here for two weeks.
xo
