Woke up to exciting news! Like I mentioned in a previous post that I ALWAYS check my email first thing in the morning.......this morning my emails were full of good news. I saw that I had an email from school saying that my fees had been paid for! I was like WHAT THE HECK??!! I double checked my account and the total amount of fees due was at $0. I checked once again. I know I'm crazy :) I kept reading the email and it turns out it was a congratulatory email for a scholarship I had applied for last year. In all sincerity I had already forgotten about the scholarship. Yikes. I really did needed the money! I was already thinking of getting a loan but I had made a promise to myself when I graduated from high school; that I would never get a school loan. I'm just HAPPY and GRATEFUL! The scholarship was defiantly a blessing. Anyways, I kept checking my email and I also saw that I had gotten a job interview at Kohl's for this Monday. It's going to be a crazy Monday for sure...why? I go back to school and I have 3 classes that day :o and now the job interview. Let's do this!!

More room.
I woke up around 1 pm. I was sick on Monday and wasn't able to sleep at night. As a matter of fact I only got 3 hours of sleep. So I made those hours up today. Sort of. I woke up to a clean house. I usually clean the living room and kitchen first thing in the morning. I saw the house clean and got scared!!! I thought somebody had broken in the house. But then I thought, who the hell would break in a house and do chores?? It turns out my dad did the chores. I guess I still haven't gotten used to my dad being home in the mornings. He cleaned the living room and there is more room to walk around. He moved a few boxes to the garage. Now I have even more room to jump around while working out!! YAY!! Anyways, I finished helping my dad clean the rest of the house. I'm still getting better from being sick, like my body is still sore but it's nothing that I can't handle :) Tomorrow it's back to looking for a job. I have to get a job by the 2nd week of February. Why?? I go back to school on the 5th and I don't want to be going on the bus at 5:45 am every morning. My plan is to get a job and a car. I know it's easier said then done. But we'll see. Maybe I'll be blogging about my new car in a couple of days....Who knows!!! :)

In 8 months.
In honor of my 21st birthday being in exactly 8 months, I thought I would write about some of my previous birthday parties. Today is also Narcizo's 19th birthday. Yay!! This is what Claudia made for his B-day. The cupcakes were really good!!
Anyways, I remember my 15th birthday party like if it just happened. It was one of the best days ever. My older brother got me a beach house in Newport Beach, Ca.
The house was amazing!!! My friends that went were Ramon, David, Sabrina, Marie and Marcos. We ate hamburgers and carne asada. We also had a bonfire at night. It was full of laughter and random moments. The funniest moment was when we got on the 6 person bike.

We went on a ride at 7 pm. Everything was going well. Until Sabrina broke the bike-chain!! We were like 2 miles away from the beach house. Here's what happened. We saw a lady running while pushing a stroller, and somebody suggested that we can probably go faster than her. It seemed like a good idea at the time. We passed the lady and kept going at full speed. Then Sabrina did I don't know what but her bike chain broke, which eventually lead to all of the chains to break!! Long story short, it was 8 pm and we came back pushing the damn 6 person bike!!! To make things worse, the lady who was running passed us while we were pushing the bike lol HOW EMBARRASSING!!! Regardless of this adventure it was still one of the best days ever!!!! To be honest, I think that has been the best birthday party ever. Let's see how my 21st birthday goes :)

Blue.
I was suppose to sleepover at Claudia's house last night but I wasn't feeling well. Even though we didn't have the sleepover we still spent the entire day together. She came to pick me up at 11:45 am and we went back to her house. I helped her finish up the cupcakes she was doing for her uncle's girlfriend baby shower. She did a really good job doing both the cupcakes and cakes. Claudia didn't want to give me a cupcake until we got to the baby shower. HOW MEAN!! lol Here is a picture. (That is my pink polka dot scarf)
It was a pain to drive the two cupcake trays and cake to the baby shower. I still don't know how we did it. Let's just say the cupcakes and cake made it there in one piece. We got there at 4:15 pm and left at 6 pm. We had to plans to go ice skating at 7 pm. We went to Paramount Iceland and paid $13. The $13 was for 4 hours of skating and the pair of skates. We met up with Narcizo, Kevin, Bryan, Andres, and Fernando. It was very FUN. I didn't fall. AT ALL!! I felt like a boss lol jk Everybody else keep falling and as the good friend that I am I kept laughing at them....not with them. Ha just kidding. I probably sound like an evil person right now. Claudia has the pictures of us skating so I'll post those up later :) We left the rink around 10:45 pm and then headed to Norms. I have never been there so I didn't know what to expect. Took me a while to decide on what I was going to get. I finally went with the "Lumberjack Breakfast" Yea I was eating breakfast for dinner :P I got around 11: 40 pm and called it a night. I'm still happy at myself for not falling :)

Gyms.
Going to Costco is always an adventure. Walking around is awesome because you get FREE samples. YAY! I've gone to Costco with an empty stomach and always come out full. There is no more need to buy a chicken bake at the food court lol I still buy one though. One does not simply go to Costco and not buy a chicken bake :) Enough talk about chicken bakes. After Costco I went to the gym!! Not to workout though. Just to check it out. This was my first time EVER going to a gym. I went to the LA Fitness in the city of Downey. I liked it A LOT. It was clean and there wasn't a lot of people, this might have to do with the fact that I went around 1:15 pm. I toured the place and love the fact that it had a swimming pool. A big plus. I finished touring and fell in love. I know right?..who in the world falls in love with a gym?? Anyways, I was in love until the nice tour lady told me the cost of membership....that's when I got heartbroken. My heart was tore into thousands of little pieces. I'm a college student with no job. Just do the math. I thanked the tour lady for the nice tour and said "Thanks but no thanks." I'll just stick to running around the block and doing Turbo Jam for the next couple of months. The good news is that once I start at CSULA, I will have free access to a gym!!! YAY!

Mixture of things.
Today had a little bit of everything. Good and bad.

Movie Night
It seems like I always watch movies on Tuesday. I watched "Pitch Perfect" and "Perks of being a wallflower." Both we great but I gotta say that "Perks of being a wallflower" is officially my favorite movie. Let me start off by saying that "Pitch Perfect" was funny, especially Fat Amy!! The movie is a comedy/musical. I really don't like musicals but the humor was good so it kept me watching! I also have to say that the main guy, Jessie, was pretty fun to look at ;) lol jk "Perks of being a wallflower" is more of a serious/drama movie. I even cried!! Like no joke. It was heart touching and made me realize how much we take for granted. We should enjoy every moment of our lives to the fullest with the people that love us the most. I think I just shed a tear typing this! I recommend you give each movie a watch. Who knows...you might even shed a tear or two.

Working Out.
I worked out on Saturday and I'm still sore!! I worked out again today and my gosh I'm in pain. I don't know why I stopped working out in the first place but now I'm paying the price. A very painful price. I used to be in the softball team back in high school. I love being active and what not. But its been almost 3 years since and DANG its been hard getting back on track. I've been using Turbo Jam and so far I like it. There are different types of Turbo Jam workouts but I'm currently doing "Punch Kick and Jam." Maybe I should describe what Turbo Jam is. Its a workout....duh?.. and it consists of kickboxing, dancing and martial arts. My brother brought the five workout set maybe like 4 years ago. He only used the dvds 4 times. I would always see them on the book shelf, so I started to use them. When I started out I had no clue what I was doing. I can say the moves were confusing but after practice and practice I finally got the hang of it. Now if I stop using the dvds for a while and then I decide to do them again, the moves come out correctly. So if you are starting doing Turbo Jam and you don't follow, just give it some time and before you know it you'll be a pro!! Anyways, I start working out and start seeing great results...BAM out of nowhere I stop working out. I know that its not because the workouts are boring...its just lack of motivation :( This time I now its going to be different because I told 4 of my friends to keep me on check with my workouts haha

Driving Around.
I was suppose to help Claudia learn how to drive stick shift. Actually my dad was going to teach her. We went to her house after coming back from Ontario, Ca. We had already agreed on a time and what not. We got to her house but she wasn't there. My dad said "well she lost her opportunity because I'm not going to be able to come back another day." It wasn't cool for Claudia to do that because from now on when she needs something from my parents, they are gonna have to think twice, unfortunately. My dad has always told me to be the type of person who makes commitments and actually fulfills them, or else people are not going to take you serious. Anyways, we went home to pick my mom up. We made our way to "Cerritos Auto Square", which is considered to be the "World's Largest Auto Mall." There you will find cars from Kia, Nissan, Ford, Honda, Toyota...in total there are 23 dealerships. WOW!! We went to Kia. I went to my first test drive ever ;) I've been eyeing the Kia Rio Hatchback for a while now. All I'm waiting for is to get a job so I can go ahead and make it mine. Around 7:30 pm I took my mom to the mall, some other stores and to buy the groceries. I was her chauffeur for the night which was really awesome driving all over town. We came back until 11 pm. It was a great day, I've been driving for almost 2 years now and I've been saving money to finally get the car I want ;) So I can't wait for the day that I'll drive out of the dealership parking lot!!!

Hi, nice to meet you!
I would like to introduce you to my dog BB in honor of her turning 4 years old today. BB is a female chihuahua who loves to sleep and takes up my entire bed. She loves to eat and walk around the block. BB also loves to play with other puppies. I remember when BB came home for the first time I was SOO afraid of her even though she was so SMALL. How embarrassing! My mom stayed up with her the entire night because she kept crying. I was always scared of dogs. So imagine having the biggest fear of your life sleeping in the next room. I know it sounds like I'm exaggerating but I'm not. Now fast forward 4 years and I'm always carrying and playing with my chihuahua. She is my best friend. As crazy as that sounds. I love being greeted by her everyday I come home. She likes jumping and jumping and jumping around when she sees me. Thanks to BB I have overcome my fear of dogs. Whenever I take her for a walk we always end up making new friends. It's soo much fun. Although I have to say having a pet, any pet, is a lot of responsibility. But at the end of the day, it's one of the best things in the whole wide world. Here are a few pictures of BB! And a video of her dancing to "Whip my hair."
This is one of the first pictures of BB. She was maybe around 9 months.
BB has her own bed but she LOVES my bed.
Sometimes I treat her like a baby. I just love her soo much.
I always take her in the car with me. She loves feeling the sun on her skin.
Here she is today!! Happy Birthday BB!!!
Here's BB showing off her dancing moves. Enjoy ;)

Chicken.
Another productive day. I woke up around 10:35 am and boy was it a mission waking up. These couple of days I've been going to sleep until 5:30 am and waking up around 12 pm. I had to wake up early today because I was going to go with my friend Narcizo to the DMV. One of the first things I always do in the morning......besides eat breakfast.......is that I ALWAYS check my email. I checked my email this morning and found out that I had just gotten accepted to CSULA!! :D I am sooo excited!
Anyways, Narcizo and I met around 12 pm and drove to the DMV in Inglewood. He was going to take his behind-the-wheel test for the first time so he was a bit nervous. Like the good friend I am I gave him advice. He calmed down a bit and went on to take his test. He passed! YAY!!! to celebrate we went to a restaurant in Los Angeles called "Roscoe's house of Chicken N' Waffles." It was my first time there and since I'm always willing to try things out I said "Ok let's go." I ordered the number 13 which is called the "Carol C. Special." The "Carol C. Special" is a big waffle and 2 pieces of fried chicken breast. I felt like a boss eating waffles at 3:30 pm lol Unfortunately I didn't have my cell phone to take a picture of it :( Narcizo got some "Chicken Chili Cheese Fries" and DAYUMMM the plate was HUGE!! Overall, I liked the what I ordered and now I'm thinking of taking my brothers to eat there one of these days. He dropped me off at my house around 4:30 pm. Around 6:40 pm my dad and I went to buy some Kentucky Fried Chicken. I was like chicken AGAIN O.o Not cool. It's going to be awhile until I eat chicken again so might as well eat up :)

Redondo Beach Pier.
I spent the day in Redondo Beach! It was really nice to go to the beach when its really cold because there were no people. At all. I didn't get inside of the water. I touched the water and WOW it was COLD!! I did get an amazing view of today's sunset. Look at it!!!!
Breath taking. I went with my friend Victor. I've known Victor for almost 4 years and is like a brother to me. We spent the day taking pictures. You know...funny/silly....pictures. We walked around the pier and got some ice cream. I think we were the only ones walking around since it was soo windy and cold. I mean we were even eating ICE CREAM!!! lol After we went to buy our ice cream we went back to the water where we took a picture of this sign.
We didn't see any people inside of the water but I do remember last time I went during the summer there were people swimming. So I'm guessing this sign is new. You can also see how high the waves were. I love how in California I have everything soo close. The city, beach, mountains and all sorts of amusement parks!! Its amazing. Anyways I love Redondo Beach. The other times that I have gone to the pier, its full of life. There are people performing in groups and playing guitars. All sorts of fun things to see and do ;) I want to go back during the summer and rent a beach cruiser....and go cruising!!! Oh yes!!! Summer hurry up.

Movies.
Tonight was pretty fun. I wasn't having such a good day but going out with Claudia made up for it. We went to watch "A Haunted House." All I have to say is WOW. The movie had its funny moments!! I had a $10 gift card that I got a few months ago and I finally used it. I only paid $1.50 :) Then we got some snacks. DAYUMMM they were so EXPENSIVE!!! we spent $15! I was like :o Pure madness. This is what we got for our money!
I guess I shouldn't be complaining because we got a free popcorn and ICEE refill. The movie theater was empty which was a good/bad thing. A good thing because we didn't have to listen to little kids crying and what not. The bad thing was that it was only Claudia and I and 15 other people....I guess I'm not used to seeing an empty movie theater lol Anyways, it was a good night and it helped me get my mind off the fact I had to give up the insurance job. I know that I'm going to find something when I least expect it ;)

It had to be done.
After doing a lot of thinking I have unfortunately made the decision to give up the job at the insurance company. The job position is full time. I am going back to school in February and I'm going to be a full time student. I have to. I have to complete 3 science courses so I can go on and transfer to a 4 year university by this fall semester. By the way I've been going to a community college since I graduated high school back in 2010. Anyways, my parents and brothers have been giving me advise about putting school first. No matter what. I'm going to look for a part time job and keep going to school. If I was able to get a job in less than 2 weeks then I know that I'll find something else.

Boring Sunday.
The weather is still pretty dang cold in Los Angeles. Last night was around 35 degrees. I can say that we are not used to this type of weather but to be honest I LOVE IT!! I love it soo much that I woke up at 3 pm today -_-. I am sure it's going to be a pain in the ass falling asleep tonight :o I have also been wearing 3 pairs of socks and all sorts of other stuff. I'm telling you...we are not used to this cold weather. This weather reminds me of the last time I went to Big Bear. I miss going to Big Bear and going sliding and building snowmen!!! I hope I can go during this month. Anyways, I'm going to watch a movie and drink my hot chocolate. Good Night!! ;)

Shopping.
Since I got the job yesterday my mom took me shopping for "office clothes." I told her I didn't want her to spend too much money so we decided to go to Ross. I got a BUNCH of stuff on discount. I got black slacks for 4.95 and 3 other pair of slacks for less than 8.99 each! Talk about a good bargain. I also got a few dress shirts. They were also on sale. I got the most expensive shirt for only 6.95! AWESOME. In total my mom only spent 49.53!!! Anyways, I'm excited to start working on Tuesday. And I'm just so grateful I was able to find something really fast.

Walking around.
I love the current weather in Los Angeles. These past days have been windy/sunny/rainy. I just love the fact that I can wear my coats, colorful scarfs and sunglasses without looking like a total creep. Today was full of unexpected adventures...again. I went to ask for information on how to join YMCA. The closest one to my house is around 3 miles away and is easy to go in the bus. HUGE PLUS. I woke up excited and what not, but once I got there, the gym was CLOSED...as in CLOSED FOR EVER -_- I should have probably called before going...lesson learned. I was already out of the house so I thought it would be fun to walk around the city. The city of Huntington Park is perhaps well known for a shopping strip called "La Pacific". It consists of one long street full of clothing stores, movie theaters and restaurants. I love going to a coffee shop called "Tierra Mia." I am probably a bit addicted to their delicious hot horchata latte. Just look at it!!!!!
This picture is from the last time I went with Yvette. We always like catching up while drinking lattes and eating muffins. It probably sounds like I'm promoting "Tierra Mia" but you gotta give credit where credit is due. Just saying. I mean look at this other picture...yummy!!!
This picture is from another time that I went with Claudia. It seems like I'm always encouraging my friends to go there. Oh well! Enough about "Tierra Mia". After I went to buy my latte, I kept walking around "Pacific." I noticed about 3 stores that were currently hiring. So I said "What the heck!, I'm going to go inside and apply." And I did!!! I turned in the applications and they told me they will get in touch with me shortly. YAY!! After that I got on the bus and made my way back home. To my surprise I had a message from an office that I applied to last week. I called them back immediately and set up a job interview for tomorrow at 2 pm. Anyways, I'M SO EXCITED for tomorrow. I'm planning on going jogging in the morning to release all of my nerves!!!! HA. Wish me luck ;)

Day like no Other.
Walking around with an empty stomach is no joke. I went to a temp/staffing agency at 10:30 am to fill out an employment application. I'm still waiting to get a call back from the insurance office but I can't stay without doing anything. I got there at 10:20 am and the application itself took 25 minutes to fill out. It was sooooo long!!! Then I was sent to another room where I watched a 30 minute video about job safety/procedures..blah blah blah. It was me and around 15 people applying for jobs. The room was pretty small with no AC, so you can just imagine how irritating that was. I'm in no way complaining ....I'm just saying lol I waited another 10 minutes until I was called for a "mini-interview." The lady told me that she had something for me and that she'll call back on Monday. I was like MONDAY!!? but it's okay. I left the office around 12:10pm and headed to the bus stop. I should probably mention that I do have a driver's license but I don't have a car. Then again how can I have a car if I don't have a job(money). Not cool! I got on the bus and headed to school. I had to take care of some applications for the upcoming spring semester. I got that done and headed to the bus stop...AGAIN!!! I got off the bus and still had to walk around 1.5 miles to get home. That's when I started to get REALLY hungry. It was insane. To top it off, there were restaurants all over the place. I passed by a 7-11, hamburger place, Chinese food, seafood restaurant, and a bakery. I could had stopped to get something to eat but I didn't have MONEY!!! I finally got home around 2 pm. I made myself 2 hot dogs and orange juice. What a day. This was the first time in my life where I didn't have money to buy something to eat. It was sad. Made me realize a lot of things. Anyways, I really do hope to get a job soon. I know I am not the only 20 year old looking for a job. I just know that my situation is temporary.

Hollywood Sign Hike.
What a day!!! It was full of laughter and adventures. I finally went hiking to to the Hollywood sign. It's been on my to-do list for almost 6 months and I'm just soo happy I went today. Claudia came to my house around 9:30am and we left at 10:15am. We waited until 10:15am because we didn't want to deal with rush hour traffic. If we would have left the house at 8:30 it would had taken us like an hour and 30 minutes to get there. Instead we waited until 10:15am and got to the Hollywood sign around 10:50am. We took the 101 fwy and exited at Gower St/ Beachwood Dr. We drove around 1.5 miles on N. Beachwood Dr., the view as you're driving up is truly amazing.
We saw tons of nice houses and stores. There was also a handful of tourists taking pictures in the middle of the street. We finally ended up at "Sunset Hollywood Ranch" and parked. The dirt parking lot was really small but the good thing is that Claudia's car is small so we didn't hesitate with parking. You can see the parking lot in this picture.
It took us 35 minutes to reach the top of the mountain. The hike was not that difficult. There were a few steep parts in the road but its really not that bad. I'm a bit out of shape and I didn't have trouble going up. Not saying that it didn't make me break a sweat because I sure did break a sweat!!! As you're walking you have the choice of going to the back of the Hollywood sign and go to the top of it, but Claudia and I wanted to see the front. So we went to the left instead of the right. There was not a lot of people hiking which is a good/bad thing. At times it was only Claudia and I walking :o The view was nice as we went up but the fog made it hard to see.
We walked on the empty road for around 15 minutes. I guess it was empty because everybody was going to the top of the Hollywood sign. Claudia and I were singing and messing around as we walked. For a second we thought the road was closed but it turns out there is some sort of construction going on. We kept walking and FINALLY saw the sign. IT WAS HUGE. Our jaws dropped. We were stunned at how big the Hollywood sign is. I think this is the closest people can get to the front of the sign without trespassing.
Since there was nobody else there we waited around 15 minutes until somebody came. We took a bunch of pictures that made the trip totally worth it. If you've been wanting to go to the Hollywood sign. Go for it!!!!! It truly is a unique and amazing experience. Just make sure you don't forget your camera like we did. We had to use Claudia's cellphone camera so the picture quality isn't great. Also make sure you know how to get there and what directions you have to take during the hike. Anyways, now I get to cross "going hiking to the Hollywood sign" off of my to-do list :D

A little bit of everything.
Have you ever had a day when you don't want to do anything? Like not even get out of bed? I had of one of those days today. It was just weird. I literally rolled myself out of bed. I guess this windy weather had a role in how I felt today. I went to my orthodontist appointment to get my retainers checked. By the way I had braces for about 3 years, and I got 2 teeth pulled out. And to top it off I also had my wisdom teeth out!!!! I can say it was 3 brutal years but it was totally worth it. Now I have a beautiful smile....I used to have vampire teeth...so if you're thinking of getting braces....go for it ;) Anyways, I walked instead of taking the bus back home. It was a 30 minute walk but it felt really good to feel the wind brush against my face, and it was nice to have my hair flying all over the place....I probably looked like a crazy person but who cares!! I was enjoying my walk. I got home and my chihuahua got soo happy and excited to see me....I was only gone for like 45 minutes o.O After my chihuahua was done dancing and running all over the place, I got back to applying online for jobs. I applied to 6 jobs today, and I'm keeping my hopes up that I get the job at the insurance office I had the interview at lash week. Fingers crossed!!! Then I started to organize my piles of clothes. There were piles and piles of clothes everywhere that I wasn't able to find my shoes in the morning. I knew I had to do something about it.
Here's an after picture showing my neat clothes :) I feel like I accomplished a lot today but at the same time I don't. It doesn't matter though because I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm finally going hiking to the Hollywood sign!!!!!!!! Oh yes!

Mommy's Birthday.
COUNTDOWN: 265 Days
I love nights when all of us are at home having a good time. We ordered pizzas from Pizza Hut and cooked hot wings, and ate until we dropped. I've never seen soo much pizza in a room all at once. I knew the cake was still going to be cut so I made sure to leave a little empty space in my stomach. We sang "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" and cut the cake.
We bought a small strawberry cake since we knew we were going to eat lots of pizza. This was like the 5th time we sang happy birthday to my mom today. My brothers and I woke my mom up exactly at 12am and sang to her. It wasn't sort of a good idea because my mom couldn't go back to sleep. Oops!!! Next morning my oldest brother brought my mom a bouquet of beautiful flowers :) moms eyes lighted up soo bright. Aww. Today was mostly spent Skyping with family. It was nice to see my cousins, aunts and grandpa. We made plans to visit in July for my aunt's wedding. Now I can't wait for that. Anyways, time to watch a few movies and call it a night.

Second ONE.
Tonight we are throwing Ana a surprise birthday party. We are almost done decorating. Lets see how this goes :)
*****The night started off good, Yvette and I went to buy balloons and some other decorations. We headed to Eva's house, and Julio was there, and she showed us the cake. The cake was a small chocolate flavored with sprinkles. We waited like 15 minutes for Ana to get there. This time we didn't turn off the lights or anything. We just waited there and when she knocked we came out singing "Happy Birthday", and held the cake. She cried for a while and then hugged us all...AWWWWWWWW...Vicky wasn't able to go last night so we weren't able to make margaritas :( Eva and Julio went to get the pizzas, cookies and the movie "Bridesmaids"...Ana had NEVER watched it. Ever. Last night felt more like a hang out than a birthday party since many of our other friends didn't make it. But it was still FUN!! Anyways, I gotta stop eating so damn much cake. I feel like I'm getting drunk on cake.....in a weird way.....good thing I didn't drive there. lol My mom's birthday is on the 6th so more cake for me....NOT GOOD!!!

Ever. Last night felt more like a hang out than a birthday party since many of our other friends didn't make it. But it was still FUN!! Anyways, I gotta stop eating so damn much cake. I feel like I'm getting drunk on cake.....in a weird way.....good thing I didn't drive there. lol My mom's birthday is on the 6th so more cake for me....NOT GOOD!!!

What a Thursday.
COUNTDOWN: 267 Days
I did soo much today. Woke up at 8:00am and went straight to the library to drop off some stuff. I remembered I needed a new toothbrush so I went to buy one. I also got my eyebrows threaded. It was soooooo painful but totally worth it because my eyebrows look good. Then I drove home and got ready to go job hunting. I was fortunate to find 2 places that were currently hiring. I filled out the job applications and turned them in a.s.a.p. At one of the offices the girl in the front desk was so nice. She was able to get me a walk-in interview with the district manager :o Once I was done with the interview the district manager told me she had liked my personality :D that made my day. I made my way back home and saw a txt from Yvette, she wanted to go bowling. I said yes!!!! She came to pick me up and we went to pick up Ana and Eva. We played a game and I won!!! Oh yes!!! I felt like a boss haha jk.
Then we went to get some hot chocolate and a donut. The night wasn't finished yet, we went back to Eva's house and watched a part of Justin's movie "never say never." We finally called it a night at 10:35pm. I'm still surprised at how much I accomplished today by waking up at 8am instead of at 12:30pm. I have seriously been wasting my time.

Grey suit.
Its just staring at me. Like if its telling me...go ahead, wear me, and take me to job interviews, and I'll help you get the job you always wanted. I'm starting to get a little freaked out. But c'mon its just a grey suit. Actually it's a really nice grey silk Calvin Klein suit.
Buying a suit wasn't on my to-do list, but my older brother is always telling me when you go to job interviews, the thing that really matters is the first impression. That establishes the type of person you are. At first I didn't believe him....I was like why would people judge others by how they dress. I still don't get it. But if they want me to buy a nice grey suit, then I'll buy one. That simple. Well actually my older brother was the one who paid for the suit. He was like "do you have a suit" I gave him this look O.o Long story short, he took me to the Calvin Klein outlet and a few minutes later I was walking out with a suit in a bag. Anyways, I have a couple of job interviews for next week. Which I really don't know if I'm excited or just plain freaking out. I'll let you know later on if I've been sleeping at night.

Here's to another year.
COUNTDOWN: 269 days
So far so good. I'm not doing any new year resolutions. I'm just going to improve myself everyday and keep doing so forever. I bet the gyms are going to be full of people for the next couple of days. That's why I'm just going to start working out at home and do so without spending a dime....Well only because I have no money. Other than that, I'm happy for a new year. This year is going to be the best one yet. I have so many things in store for myself and I'm just freaking excited.
