Summer is almost done.

Weird. I feel like I haven't done alot, but in reality I kind of did.

It's been quite sometime since I last posted, but alot of good things have happened! Well, I've been job searching since my last post, but now I'm an on-call sales associate at Macy's! Pretty cool, but no set schedule; yet, it's better than nothing. Those positions do tend to move to either part or full-time positions, but it depends on the time you're there. Because of that, I'm "somewhat still" looking for a job, but I'm happy with what I have so far! Another thing that happened, is my recent adventure of seeing The Monster Ball Tour Live starring Lady Gaga! Yes, the effing Lady Gaga!! It was seriously one of the best concerts I've ever been to! She is amazing live, and my friend and I were soooooo close! She is returning to Los Angeles in March, and I'm totes getting tickets for it! And last but not least, I turned 19 the past Friday. Crazy, but it was a lazy day for me (since the night before I was at Gaga and still tired). That night I got to go to dinner with a couple friends, which was very nice!

So, all in all, this has been a pretty fun summer! Not the best, but still pretty good. I must start getting ready for school, as I start on the 30th!



(The picture is mine! Yes, we were so close!! And the video is mine, but it's the only working video.)

Real Housewives of New Jersey

Probably one of my favorite reality shows right now!

I haven't posted in a bit, but I've been a little busy. Random, but I realized that in my last post I mentioned watching Toy Story 3 again...it wasn't as fun. Anyways, I had orientation already for my school and I was able to set up my classes for the fall, thank God. Also, my great aunt and her family came to Los Angeles from Miami to visit the city and be with us. It was such a great time to be with them and I loved having them for a week. My great aunt even got me a new, black iPod Nano for my graduation/birthday! She is so full of love and happiness, it came to my realization that she reminds me of my late grandmother. It was sad and hard to say goodbye, but I will always be grateful for her time with us for that past week. Now, I'm back to job searching, hanging with friends, and all that jazz.

First (actual) Day of Summer

I found this out on Facebook.

Anyways, it's been sometime since I last blogged, been kind of lazy to type here. But I'm here now! After graduation and my grad-party, my sister and I went to Washington D.C. as my gift from her, and a little from my parents. It was my first time, and it was so much fun! My sister and I actually love going to museums and things like that, so it was a perfect destination. We did alot over the span of the five days we were there. We did, like, all of the memorials, most of the Smithsonians, etc. Even though we HATE politics, we noticed that Washington D.C. is a pretty touristy spot. Probably the funnest thing we did was this interactive spy mission at the International Spy Museum. We got to figure out codes and run from the bad guys. Basically, the trip was alot of fun, especially with my sister whom I consider a best friend of mine. Also, humidity SUCKS!

I've been back since last Monday, and have been job searching, applying to school, and enjoying myself. My favorite thing I've done so far was watching Toy Story 3, opening day! It is, by far, the best Pixar film...ever. It truly was the perfect ending to a wonderful story. I literally grew up with this film, since the first came out when I was five and Andy (in the movie) was the same age; and now Andy is off to college, as am I! The film was hilarious, intense, and of course sad. The last fifteen minutes, I couldn't stop crying...literally. Last Disney movie to make me cry alot, was The Fox and the Hound and Up. I highly recommend this film, it is beautiful and bittersweet! I'm totes going to see it again :)

And here's two videos from the trip.

I should be sleeping right now.

But I'm not :)

So, my summer has officially started today, which means graduation just passed! Thursday night was Grad-Night at Disneyland, and it was...interesting. I had alot of fun don't get me wrong, but it was such a weird feeling to be seeing alot of innappropiate things happening at Disneyland, a family theme-park. It was cool that there were clubs, but I went on the rides mostly and there were alot of creepers and ravers at the clubs...kind of annoying. And I was sooooooooo tired by 3 a.m. So, it was a fun experience, but if I was able to do it again, I wouldn't.

Saturday was the big day, though. I got to the church at 9 a.m. and was pretty nervous. But the nerves went away once I walked and sat through the ceremony. Everyone was such an awesome speaker, but probably the one speaker that moved me the most was the middle school teacher, Mrs. Mikels. I actually have never had her in a class, but I've heard of her through people and stories about her daughter's struggle with leukemia. She talked about how there will always be trials and stuff like that, but it happens for a reason and even God doesn't like it. Not gonna lie, I teared up like 5 times because it really hit me, with my past family tragedies. Because of her speech, it really helped me to not be too scared for life after high school! Afterwards, there were thousands of pictures, lunch with the family (including my aunt from Nebraska :] ), both my BFF's parties, and my party the day after. So, this weekend was seriously one of the best weekends ever, and can't wait for what this summer brings to me.

Also, I'll be leaving with my sister to Washington D.C. tomorrow for a week :)

Prom it up!!

So, lately my last blog entries have been kind of sad. So, I'm going to change things up for now Haha!

This past Saturday was the anticipated Senior Prom! It was seriously one of the funnest events I have been to these past four years in high school. I got to my date's (Sarah) aunt's house to take pictures with her and the others. We wanted our little group to only take picutres, which was Sarah, Samm, Ryan, Shane, Kailtyln, and I. After that, we went to April's house for the limo and then left with the thirty-five other people in our limo :O We got to the hotel, which was pretty fancy, and take pictures and get seated. We eat and then go dancing! The dancing got really kinky but whatever. And there was a photobooth which was such a highlight there! All in all, the prom was so much fun. No drama, and everyone looked really good, and I mean everyone!

Well, this week consists of:
-Tuesday, I go in for Stats. final to present a project :/
-Wednesday, go to school for senior picture and VR, later on.
-Thursday, graduation practice at Pasadena and Grad-Night at Disneyland :D
-Friday, not sure but sleeping alot and being with my aunt from Nebraska :)
-Saturday, GRADUATION!! :D
-Sunday, my graduation party :)

Closer and closer and closer

I actually said bye and "thanks" to one of my Bible teachers, whom I loved very much, and I started to choke up. Today, was technically the last official day of school...academically, I guess. So bittersweet the closer it gets.

All good things must come to an end

Well, for high school, it might not be that hard to let go. Actually, even though high school was full of crappy events, it still was the best years of my life so far.

Anyways, my senior year is very close to an end and I'm happy but still not haven't taken it in all at once. The other night it was the annual senior-parent appreciation night at school. Of course, I went to the open microphone and told my mom how much I loved her and really appreciated her (my dad was out of town that night). Yet, it wasn't until later that night that I realized how close the end is. I literally have all of next week, then a couple days the week after, then graduation on June 5th. As it's getting closer, I'm starting to get a little nervous of change. Change in the fact that I won't see a lot of my friends at the same place, the school I won't have to go to anymore, even the people I dislike I won't see them again. But I do want this change very much, because this is life. Tomorrow we shall get our yearbooks, next week is spirit week (again), Powderpuff Game that Friday, prom that Saturday, Grad-Night at Disneyland on June 3rd, and graduation.


Oh, and I got my suit for prom and I am super excited to wear it :D

(And I want that t-shirt from Ellen DeGeneres' online-store!)
