Forgotten bloggy...

So as the weeks go by it gets closer to crunch time, closer to the date of my fashion show, EK!!! Everything is due May 6th and the show will the 13th. A day I hate to remember, due to the loss of my lovely cousin 4 years ago on Friday May 13th. But she loves me soooo much that she is shinning some light on that day, thank you my lovely Tania.

Spring Break was a few weeks ago and as much as I would have loved to be in the middle of the wilderness alone with the Stud Muffin (Bryan) I was stuck indoors, sewing. BUT we did get on good hike it and it was FANTASTIC! I need not to discribe it with words but with visuals instead. Enjoy becuase I sure did.
P.S. I would like to thank everyone for the helpful words during this crunch time. Love you all.

You April fool...

Fools:
All day i tried to think of a good joke to play but couldn't and realized not only have i always hated the April Fools part of April 1st but i suck at playing pranks. I feel like a liar and back in the day couldnt get even one soul to believe me. I'm the worst liar and if i did pull a prank i feel like it would really happen. How much would that suck. If ur a fool i hope you had a day full of fooling other fools.

Daylight:
I seem to miss so much of a beautiful day. Wake up, eat, shit, cut, sew, spill fray check on my fabric then start all over. The glory of being an anxious student the life of someone doing something they love. Love makes you do wild things thats fooorrr sure. For example redesign a dress about 7 times just to find yourself at the start all over again. Fabric and thread consumes my room and i'm trapped from the outside be the ironing board in the doorway. Study for midterms...What's that? I sew for 18 hours of the day and cause my anxiety to rage like an angry 90 year old person.

I went on a peaceful hike that made me realize im out of shape and trapped in my own world. Sitting at the waterfall was the best i've felt in a long time. It's sad really. Getting away was great even for the day and i have to admit for a few seconds the image of my dress wasn't dangling behind my thoughts. I've began to hate the sound, look, or color of the word Janome (the brand of my sewing machine)


My family comes and goes in and out of the house and i sit here in my room keeping up to date by overhearing what they do in a day and laugh at the jokes George makes from across the house.


My dress is in pieces at the moment and so is my mind, Obviously. I keep going from one thing to the next. I know it's all worth it when i get to see my drawing come to life on someone down a runway. Fucking nuts. I would say excuse my language but at the moment i frankly don't care. I don't think i've spoken in about 3 hours. I sing sometime while i sew just to keep my tounge from going dead. Soon after realizing i'm a horrible singer and that my tounge can't really die.


I JUST realized the Zoo next door in completly silent, horrah! Those 10 dogs and 20 birds drive me crazy and sound like a Zoo animals getting killed one by one. Not even kidding those birds sound like dieing monkeys. Yeah they may look like they come from the Amazon but they sound like death.


I'll post pictures soon for all like 2 of you that read this. haha. My friend Ben says he never reads this and he just looks for pictures. He likes to call me EMO, shove it!

It's plain and simple, i miss these days....

Mixed Martial ARTS

Saturday was a big day, my brothers really good friend, Vince Parra, got a chance to fight in his second professional fight. The event was in Irvine so off we went, with our 3 car caravan. I still don't have pictures but the video speaks for itself. He fought Cesar Macias which has a 1-1 and Vince had a 1-0 record. Going into the event I knew it would be weird to see these fights live, but little did I know my reaction to his fight would be so intense. The 1st fight was the ice breaker the sounds are so piercing, the faces,knees, hands, elbows hitting the mat with so much force and weight. The second Vince walked into the ring I was lightheaded and ready to pass out. I was excited but nervous all at once. To know that someone you know so well is getting in that ring to fight takes this kind of fighting to a whole different level. Enjoy the video!

As you can see Cesar Macias now holds a 1-2 recors and Vince Parra now holds a 2-0 record and made us all so proud and also impressed many of the sponsors. Someone that is so discipline and hardworking deserved every moment of this amazing victory, congratulations Vince.

p.s. Here is another one of his videos:

what does it take to get a drink in this place?

So I'm pretty melo as we all know and don't do much but random little adventures but recently (mid Fed to be exsact) I went to Vegas. I attended MAGIC which is a huge fashion tradeshow of all the new lines and seasons. I don't have pictured from MAGIC becuase there not allowed but i have a bunnnnch of Vegas in general. If was more fun that i thought Vegas could be and the girls thought our hotel was nicer than it looks on the outside. so heeere we go!...
Classy Hotel, haha
Who would have thought it would be THIS amazing
On the free time we shopped and over dosed on M&M's

We then hit up our CocaCola polar buddy
we flew to Paris on the same trip, not a big deal...
and later returned to our Flamingo palace.
This is one of our beds, how rad is that!?
1,2,3 driks ready to gooooo
4,5,6 drinks gooone- I'm not
This was our final night out where none of the ladies could get a freee drink, Vegas was a dissapointment that night. But XS was an AMAZING club but the DJ was sh*t!
After getting home i never thought i would return to life, i dont know how i used to go out so much its nuts and i couldnt do it for more than 2 nights haha i'll update more often and more interesting things.

Mi Abuelita...

(Abuelita means Grandmother is Spanish)
Well she is pretty much the most amazing woman on this planet, you might argue yours is better, but to me she means the world. She is probably the most sweet, honest, peaceful woman on planet earth. If you met her you wouldn't help but love her she is so nurturing and loving. Days as a kid were the best when I got to ride on the bus to visit grandma. The 15Th of this Month was her 75Th birthday just this past Saturday we all got together and planned a semi-surprise birthday party! It was great our family from everywhere made it to celebrate with us and of course endless amounts of great food. After everyone ate the music came in. In our culture it's tradition to have a banda come play so they walked down the driveway until my grandma realized it wasn't the DJ her smile was priceless. Even though she knew the party was gonna happen she didn't know we got a band. After standing with her for a couple of minuted my uncles came over one by one to dance with her it was super cute. The festivities went on until 3am and she couldn't have been any more grateful. Here are some pictures but I didn't get any of my grandma with my camera(whoops) but others have plenty so I'll post those later.

Up to Date...

Well alot has happened I now intern for Harvey's in the Design department, http://www.seatbeltbags.com/ it's fun and different. I also went to S.F. a couple of weekends ago, but I wish I was still there. I went to SF because it was Bryan's Christmas gift to me. I'm a very lucky girl and a thankful one too. We flew in Thursday and had a relaxed dinner with Peggy and David(Bryan's aunt and uncle) after dinner we got settled in and decieded to go in the hot tub, it was soooooo cold to have to get out and run inside haha.

Friday was an adventure with a car so we decieded to visit Berkeley and Haight St. and fell upon a little hidden treasure, Buena Vista Park that had Amazing views and great trails.



Saturday we took Bart into the city and went all over Fishermans Wharf, Pier 39 Aquarium of the Bay, and all that jazz. We hit up a farmers market a ride on the muni and saw a creppy clown trying to direct traffic, not one of my most favorite memories. Bryan learned that bus drivers don't care how far and how fast you run, they will still leave you behind. After the sprint we tried to figure out how the heck we could get to the deYoung before they closed. After finally finding the right bus we were off and getting to sit and relax a bit. We had hot dogs for lunch before going into the deYoung where I got to see the YSL exhibit and that was AMAZING! and our timing was perfect once we were in the gift shop we had only 5 mins. until they closed. After the exhibit it was back on the bus towards Market St. to meet with Peggy and David for dinner at Asia SF which was lots of fun and a real treat ;) After dinner Peggy and David drove us to Twin Peaks and in search of other good views, and I gotta say those views were breath taking! I just wish I had a better camera.

Lovers <3Asia SF totally wild WoMen!

Sunday was our last day of fun and we sure didn't want to leave, but we went off on one last adventure we went to Union Square, Market St., and rode a cable car the things people usually do :)

My Instant Film camera is Huuuugee!


FIN!
