It's back!

2D animation for Disney has finally returned,
after a long hiatus!

Just got back from seeing The Princess and the Frog,
and I absolutely loved it!
Everything about it was magical (yes, magical) and brought back what Disney animated films are and should be!
The animation was beautiful, the songs were great, funny, sad, and has
the happy ending.
So, yea go see it :D


Wow, I just realized a decade has passed by!
Well, it was probably one of the most craziest 10 years of my life;
considering I'm only 18.
Anyways, 2009 was a good/meh year.
Alot better than 2008, that's for sure!
Learned alot about myself, my life, and the people around me.
I was hoping to end 2009 well, but sadly that's not much the case.
Since my birthday, alot of drama has been happening (not with me, but
i'm in the middle of it) and it's actually still going on :/
Also, my senior year has so far been hectic and not that fun like everyone says it is; which caused by the drama and work and college stuff!
Even though it's been hard for the past couple of months, I have been
able to enjoy my life and let me have some fun!
So, I'm hoping 2010 will be amazing and full of amazing memories!
2010 will be the year I graduate high school, taking care of my body and health,
and hopefully attend LATTC for fashion :)

Hope everyone had an amazing decade and 2009!
HAPPY NEW YEAR's EVERYONE <3

Only time I don't like the rain

My sister and I were supposed to go to Six Flags today,
but it's raining :(
Trying to do homework but YouTube has been such a great distraction!
And I found my new favorite video :D

I love Lady Gaga, so this makes it pretty awesome already!
But this singer is freaking amazing!
He has more videos and they're all pretty good.

Hope everyone had a good Christmas!
I did, and I got most of what I wanted :)

Well, I'm going to continue to try do my homework,
and try to see The Princess and the Frog tonight!

"Merry Christmas Darling!"

Yes, it is Christmas Eve and I shall be partying it up with
my family!
Then, Christmas Day tomorrow!!
Oh, how I love this time of year :)

Also, new look on my Lookbook!
Go hype it up kids!

Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thank goodness!

I got the stomach flu over the weekend!
It was first my family, then Saturday night
started getting sick, and basically got
worse over time, till the end of Sunday!

I had to miss the Christmas service at church :(
And a screening of Disney's A Christmas Carol :(

But at least it was before Christmas day!

Follow me on Tumblr!

It's true!

I got a Tumblr account!

It looks fun, so I decided to give it a try.
I'll still be posting regular blogs, so don't worry.

School needs to die :/

I have to wait till Spring??

UGH!
That's way too long for Glee to come back :(
Such an amazing season finale!


New favorite CD right now is She & Him's Volume One!
Very, very good!

Some more items.

Well, I put my Christmas list on one of my posts,
and mentioned I wanted new glasses.
I was able to get some before Jesus' birthday :)
They're a more modern version of Ray-Ban wayfarers, and I LOVE them!

Also, I would like to add to my list! Haha

That's rigth!

There was a time where I actually didn't like Lady Gaga at all,
and thought her music was very dumb.
Then, I started to listen to more of her music, and started realizing they were actually pretty catchy.
Then, it turned into some love for few of her songs!
I still think she is a little strange, but that's what makes her
so interesting and makes me want to know her more, in a way!
I want this CD not just because of the new songs,
but also it contains her debut album The Fame.
(I have it but it's all scratched up!)

:)

Christmas time is here!
Well, it's been here since the week before Thanksgiving.

I've been helping my mother decorate the house,
and will be going to my aunt's work to help too!
Then, more at my house, and off to APU Christmas Concert,
with BFF's!

Ahh 'tis the season!

"No more shadows anymore..."

I just got back from Orange County,
and from seeing Spring Awakeing.
And OMG it was AMAZING!!


(Tony Awards performance with original cast)

Anyways, the show was absolutelty fantastic!
The story was so powerful and so relevant to today's society for teenagers!
The music and dialogue dealing with puberty, sex, abuse, and even suicide
was just like teenagers today!
Everyone did an amazing job, the songs were awesome, the sets and lights
were awesome, as well!
I highly recommend this show :)

Gobble Gobble!

Well, I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving today!

I did, for I watched Macy's Parade, then Twilight Zone,
some homework, and ate like crazy with my whole family!
It was great day to be with family and reflect on the many
blessings I have been given :)

Oh! And this weekend my friends and I shall be seeing...


That's right!!
I am sooooooooo excited, I have been wanting to see this show
for the longest, and I finally have a chance :D
I'll talk about it later this weekend.

Like I said...

...it's not even Thanksgiving, but I'm UBER excited for Christmas :D

Last night, KOST 103.5 held an event at Disneyland.
The park was closed to the public at it's regular
closing time, but KOST had the park for "special"
guests from 9p.m.-1a.m.

And I got to go with my BFF, Sarah :)
It was quite fun and tiring at the same time,
but the park is Christmas decorated like
crazy, and I LOVED it!!

What was even better, was that there was not
a lot of people, so the wait time for all the
rides was like 5 minutes!

It was quite magical, and I'm happy I got to go :)


My best friend, Sarah, and I


it's a small world in Christmas decorations!


Sleeping Beauty Castle in Christmas decorations!

It's not even Thanksgiving!

But, I already know what I want for Christmas :)

Happy Veterans Day :)

It's seriously been awhile!

Well, past couple of weeks have been crazy,
and yet so awesome!
So much with school and friends, but I'm taking it
a step at atime to deal with.

Halloween was quite fun this year, for I dressed up
and attended an awesome party with my friends :)
Dressed up as the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland,
played crazy games, trick-or-treated in the neighborhood,
and DANCED!
It was sooooo much fun!
Oh, and I also got to carve my first pumpkin!!
Haha it was pretty fun :)


My "single-ladies" pumpkin :)


Taylore, Aaron, and I at some house!


DANCE PARTYY!!

And here's a video I made from the party!



Then, this past weekend I went with
my youth group to the Fall Retreat!
It was quite an experience for me,
and I feel so much better and at peace
about everything, especiallywith God!
So, it was quite an amazing weekend for me;
but, sadly, it was my last Fall Retreat,
since I'm a senior.
But I'm pretty thankful for a great, last
retreat :)


So beautiful there!


Group "silly" picture!


Seniors 2010!


Cabin North Long Beach!

And, of course, here's a video of that!

Here it is!

I finally made the video with...

AIDS Walk footage,

random bathroom footage
(for the bathroom my BFF, Sarah, and I
did a scene from Toy Story, so it's
not what you think when you hear
"bathroom footage"!)

and Elephant Bar footage!

Yea it's a pretty fun video that I made,
so go favorite it on YouTube
and subscribe to my channel!

Here's the video :)

U2 live on YouTube

That's what I'm watching right now!

Well this past weekend was my fall play.
It was a lot of fun and I'm gonna miss it,
but can't wait for spring musical :)

I took some video over the weekend, and last,
so I'm probably going to combine it all and
post it on YouTube like tomorrow.
It basically consists some of
AIDS Walk, fun at BFF's house, and at Elephant Bar
hahahaha
They're pretty dumb but I don't care :D

And new look on my LOOKBOOK!
http://lookbook.nu/andres

One more thing before i go...

My other BFF, Sarah, and I did the 25th AIDS Walk
in West Hollywood, California!
It was quite fun and a good work-out for me too!

I would love to do more walks like that,
so let me know if there's more :)

It's been awhile!

Really, it has!

I've been uber busy, seriously!
Just with school, church, play, and then homecoming.
Homecoming week consisted of...
Mad for Plaid,
Dynamic Duo,
College Day,
Around the World,
and Spirit Day!

Well, College Day wasn't a big deal,
considering the underclassmen had to take their PSAT's,
us seniors had to take senior pictures
(which came out horrible because of the rain!)
and it was a half day :)
Got to see Toy Story & Toy Story 2 in 3-D, that day :D

Now we don't have a dance, sadly, but we have a show thing
called Non-fire, and basically cheer and drill team
perform, homecoming court is announced
(which my BFF Maggie was on and won queen!!!),
and the best, Senior Guy Dance!
Both cheer and drill team literally dance with the football guys!


So, it was a pretty cool homecoming for my senior year :)

This week is my fall play, so yah!
And I have a new look on my LOOKBOOK :D

I'll show you crazy!!

My friends, Sarah and Angela, and I decided to rent Obsessed,
since we got to the AMC 16 late for a screening of Fame.




Anyways, I loved the movie!
No, it's not Oscar-worthy,
but it's such a fun movie to see.

Beyonce was really good!
(and I'm not just saying that because I adore her!)
And Ali Larter was such a crazy bitch!
I hated her character so much!
So go see it!


Also, I finally got my first look on my Lookbook :)

It's on my Lookbook, of course, so go HYPE it!

Bananas!

Oh Rachel Zoe,
how you made me miss Paris, France so much!
I decided I shall live there...
or at least own an apartment there :)


I'm going to try to have a look on my Lookbook by this weekend!
I tried by myself, but it's a little difficult getting
a picture of your whole outfit with an old 7.0 pixel camera!

Hoping to see The September Issue on Friday, with my lovely tia ;D

October already??

Holy crap! haha

Can't believe it's already October! Soooooo much to do.
Like projects, Student Ministries Weekend, shooting for short film,
Homecoming and Homecoming game, AIDS Walk, and more!

Hope this month won't be stressful!

Still needing a job and still no new post on my LOOKBOOK :/

And i want to actually do something this Halloween!

Boo to everyone!

I signed myself and aunt, Ely, up to win red carpet bleacher seats
for the 2010 Oscars, about a week ago.
And we both got an email saying we didn't win :/
We really wanted to go 'cause we love celebrities and fashion!


Oh well, maybe next year.


It's effing hot outside!!
Can't wait till it cools down next week.


Bye now :)

Can you say Precious?

Why yes i can, actually!

Recently, Beyonce did her Sasha Fierce concert to a big crowd at Sydney, Australia.
During her show, she brought up an 11 year old girl who attended, and
who, sadly, happens to be suffering from leukemia; but wanted to see Beyonce perform!
Beyonce was so moved by her and wanted to sing Halo to her onstage.



This is probably one the sweetest things I have seen in awhile,
like I was tearing up when I saw this!

And this got me thinking about how in the midst of suffering and pain in our world,
there really still is love and beauty; and we need to be the people to give it those who may be in pain or need some hope!
So let's stop hating and help people in pain!

For example, I signed up to do the AIDS Walk on October 18,
to help find a cure for AIDS/HIV!
So you should do it too!

Bye now <3

Sooo true!

Well, as you know I went to New York City a couple weeks ago.
While I was there, soooooo many people came up to my dad and I
seeing if we want "cheap" tickets to a comedy show
or a bus tour,
and it got soooooo annoying!

Well, iJustine, a pretty big blogger and YouTuber,
is in New York City right now and posted a video about being annoyed by
the same people!
I enjoyed it because it's totally true!
So here :]



Goodness, it's hot!

Bye now!

o people...

...how much they can suck!


Yeah, I'm still a little upset at Kanye's "attention whore" episode
during Taylor Swift's acceptance speech.
I'm happy they told him to leave!
But Beyonce is amazing for letting Taylor continue her speech!
She's the best DIVA ever!!

And Kanye doesn't know what an actual apology is...
...what a douchebag!
I'm gonna watch him on Jay Leno tonight and boo him!

Also, sad news today!
Patrick Swayze passed away after battling cancer for 2 years.
Very upsetting, he was a great actor, and he'll be missed very much!


Getting off track again now, you know how much I love YouTube!
So, I have already found another great video!
Jake Wilson from the musical web-series, "The Battery's Down",
sang Miley Cyrus' song "Party in the U.S.A.".
Now, I hate Miley Cyrus, and I hate that song,
but Jake does a great job with the song making it fun to watch!



And Alice Ripley is finally back on YouTube!
Oh how I've missed her spontaneous videos :)


Hmm pretty random post haha!


Bye now!

One more thing...

I was at Denny's with my good friends, Josh and Miles, and we decided to watch YouTube videos on Miles' Iphone! And we came upon this video:



This is probably thee funniest (and creepiest) video I had ever seen!
When we watched this at Denny's, we couldn't stop laughing!
So, I thought I share this with you :)

Bye now!

Some Changes

As you can see, my page is a little different. I have been wanting to change for a long time. Well, I finally got to do it and so far I'm liking it. Probably will do some more later this weekend. And I guess this site is going through a little changes as I type this blog. The setup to put a new blog is different now! But anyways, let me know what you all think of my page ;D

Goodness, this week has been a little crazy! Wednesday, I said bye to summer vacation as I was driving to my first day of school for the new school year :/
But, this is my SENIOR YEAR; so it should be pretty cool!
So far my classes are pretty cool, and I'm hoping somehow it stays like that haha! But I am hoping this will be a great year! And, yes, I'm still job searching. Right now I'm applying for H&M. I do hope I get it!

But yeah, random post haha!

Bye now!

Left my heart in N.Y.C....part 2

So, I took ALOT of pictures on this trip and video!

About like 200, I think.

But here's just some of the many:

Me infront of original torch of the Statue of Liberty

Lady Liberty

Financial District

View from Empire State Building

Times Square

TKTS staircase and booth

Central Park

Central Park again

American Museum of Natural History

Karen Olivo as Anita in West Side Story.

I congratulated her for winning a Tony for her role as Anita!

Metropolitan Art Museum

The new Yankee Stadium

Our hotel view. You had to look down to see Ground Zero

My dad and I waiting (on the now closed 42nd Street)

for In The Heights to start

Javier Munoz as Usnavi. Not the original "Usnavi"

from In The Heights, but he was really good and nice!

And here's a video of a bunch of clips of the city

with a Passion Pit song!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwD6AKrbOZc

So, like I said, it was an amazing vacation!

Mmmmkay bye now!

;D

Left my heart in N.Y.C.

Well, I have returned from New York City...sadly.

Just kidding :)

I do miss it very much, though;

but it was probably one of the best vacations ever!

Well, here's what has happened.

Saturday:

My dad and i left to JFK Airport, New York.

We got there, and it took about 2 hours to get to our hotel,

because we got lost in the subway system!

But we finally found it, and our view was Ground Zero,

which was pretty cool!

Then, we went to go get some N.Y.C. pizza,

which is AMAZING!

And then some Dunkin' Donuts,

which are the only donuts I can eat!

Sunday:

My dad and I made a quick trip to the

9/11 Memorial Site,

which has pictures of the future plans for Ground Zero.

Also, we went to Trinity Church,

which is very old and famous.

Then, we took a train to New Jersey to

see family of my dad's side.

Monday:

We took a chance to go see the Statue of Liberty

and Ellis Island.

Sadly, you needed reservations to go to the crown :(

After that, we visited the Financial District,

St. Paul's Church, and the famous department

store, Century 21!

Then, it was off to Grand Central Station,

Park Ave., the Empire State Building,

Times Square, and Theatre District!

Tuesday:

My dad and I went to go learn at

The Natural History Museum.

After that, we walked through Central Park;

and apparently Whitney Houston was there

for Good Morning America!

Then, it was FAO Schwatz,

5th Ave., St. Patrick's Church,

and Rockefellar Center.
So, we decided earlier to try the lottery

for West Side Story,

where you can win $26 front row seats.

We did it, and won!!
We saw it and were amazed!

The show is really fantastic, and

I got to get pictures and autographs

from the cast!

Wednesday:

This day, we went to the

Metropolitan Art Museum.

It is absolutely amazing, and is

as good as the Lourve in Paris, France!

We took the subway, afterwards,

to the Bronx, to get tickets

for a tour of the new Yankee Stadium!

After that, we met up with another relative
of my dad's

Thursday:

We went back to Yankee Stadium,

for the tour and it was really cool!

Then went back to Manhattan,

and saw the Flatiron Building,

SoHo/NoHo, and NYU!

We went back to the hotel to relax,

and ended up watching

HBO's Grey Gardens,

with Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange.

And I loved the film; very good!

Then, we went to try the lottery

for In The Heights.

Sadly, we didn't win but got

$41 orchestra seats for that night!

The show was, also, amazing!

Very modern and very true to the Bronx!

And I got to get pictures and autographs from

cast too!

Friday:

My dad and I packed up,

took the train to JFK Airport,

and flew back home to Los Angeles.

Over all, the trip was a blast!

New York City is probably my favorite city

out there!

So, many people there, of course, and a lot

of European tourists too!

And I got to see my first (and 2nd) actual Broadway show!

I'll post another blog with the pictures and video later from my

N.Y.C. trip,

because this blog is really long haha!

Mmmkay bye now!

;D

o well...

Well, my plans to go with my BFF to see GLEE didn't work out :/

  She basically kinda got in trouble,

so yea.

But I am actually with her right now, as I am typing this :D

So it's still a fun party!

So, tomorrow I leave for NYC for about a week!

(even though I have to be at LAX, early!)

I'm pretty excited!

And I'm gonna try to see 

In The Heights and West Side Story!

And, of course, the usual "touristy" attractions.

So, I'll have a fun blog to post in about a week.

Hopefully, I will have access to at least Facebook!

Mmmkay bye now!

;D

it's reeeeaaaalllyy hot!

Yes, it is!

And apparently mountains near Azusa are on fire :/

Well, I've been a little busy these past couple of days.

Saturday, I went to Island's for dinner and then bowling

with my sister, her friend, and little cousin.

Sunday, I went to the mall with Jenn and Teongnoi,

and finally saw District 9!

It was actually really good! Go see it!

Monday, I hung out with my BFF, Maggie, at Burbank.

Tuesday, I went to my friend's, Michelle, birthday dinner at

West Hollywood.

Then, I got plans today to be part of a little film.

Tomorrow, I'm going to friend's house.

Friday, hopefully, Maggie and I will go to Hollywood

to meet the cast of Glee!

And Saturday, I leave to New York City :D

Oh my goodness!

Well, here's what I wore to that birthday dinner party:

Cardigan-GAP, T-shirt-Costco, Jeans-PACSUN, Scarf-Sidecca

And, I got to wear my new black VANS!

That scarf from Sidecca is my new favorite thing to wear!

Got it for about $6!

Hopefully, I'll be able to see the cast of Glee Friday,

and post about it!

Stay cool in this crazy California heat!

Mmmkay bye now!

;D

im a fan!

So, this will be a nerdy blog!

I am obsessed with a video on YouTube!

Here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EDPIa8OmI0

It stars a young Eden Espinosa,

before her Broadway days, at Disneyland!

I am such a fan of her's,

and she's sings the song so well!

And the two guys there are amazing as well!

I am still hoping to meet her!

And there's talk about her coming out with a solo album!

Haha mmkay bye now!

;D

"been awhile"

This going to be a quick post!

It's been awhile since I made a video.

So, I made one today just 'cause.

Since I got my EnV Touch, I love to listen

to the horrible ringtones that come with it.

So, I decided to make a video about that.

Here's the link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMmzfcp-yO4

and subscribe!

Mmmkay bye now!

;D

funfunfun!

This past weekend has been pretty bomb!

Saturday, I went with my awesome friend, Sareen,

to the FIDM Open House.

It was great! I actually would love to attend there after high school!

It has a great environment, very artistic, and helps you get

ready in the fashion world.

We first had a tour of the campus,
went to an alumni panel,

went on our own in the campus,

and went to this museum there.

The museum consisted costumes from the latest

television show that are nominated for the

upcoming EMMY Awards!

That was fun to see the costumes from

Coco Chanel, Gossip Girl, and even

last season's winner of Project Runway!

Speaking of Project Runway, the new season is this week!!

And it was filmed this season at FIDM!

Anyways here's some pictures:

Me and Sareen at alumni panel

Sareen infront of Juicy Couture wall

FIDM's big project in the past year

was the 50th Anniversay of Barbie

We are stylin!

Since it is a fashion school,

I had to somehow dress decently for it!

Shirt-Old Navy, Shorts-Use to be jeans, Shoes-Urban Outfitters

Then Sunday, was a family dinner for my birthday!

We ate a lot and I got presents!

I got giftcards to some of my favorite stores,

money, Passion Pit CD's, The Breakfast Club DVD,

and finally a new phone!!

Yes, I got my EnV Touch and I'm in love with it!

Also, another amazing gift is my parents are

taking me to NYC!

One of my favorite cities ever!

And we're gonna try to see either

In the Heights or West Side Story...

or both!!

I'm soooooo excited!

So, it was a great birthday!

And here is what I wore and bought at Disneyland:

Shirt-Disneyland, Cardigan-Target, Shorts-Costco

Oh, and my friend Sareen made this awesome ring for me too!

Sadly, it only fits on my pinky, but I still love it!

Mmmmkay bye now!

;D
