I am broke

Yes that's right kids...broke!! Can you believe that? I blame school....I can't work as much because of school and all this damn homework I have and because I can't work..I don't have $$$..it's a vicious cycle. Yeah so that's the word right now. On the upside..I'm doing well in school so I guess that's a positive in this negative equation. AND--I'll be in New York in a couple of weeks, which I am looking forward to! That's about all that's happening with me right now besides all the weddings I've been going to. This blog is just a bunch of randomn nothingness and I think I'll stop here.

Rock Band

The word today is.....

ROCK BAND!!

I looove playing this damn game. It's similar to Guitar Hero only you have a singer, dummer and bassist as well as a guitarist. I was the drummer last night and we rocked out lol. I kinda sucked at the beginning but it was so fun once I got the hang of it. Anywho, in other news, I start school on Tuesday which I'm excited/sad about. Excited to start but sad to get off my lazy ass and start learning shit haha. I also have been doing a good job keeping my new years resolutions going. I have been going to the gym and running and eating a lot better than I was. Just got back from Big Bear--absolutely beautiful. thee end. Yeah we played in the snow and had a snowball fight and Shawn just had to throw a snowball and hit me in the face..haha but it was all good. I probably could've stayed up there forever and taken in all the beauty of the mountains but unfortunately we had to leave and come back to reality aka Chino. Well that's all for today, gotta go to work and make that money! Take care babies : )

It's been too long!!

That's right people it's been too long since I've posted anything, and I wonder if in fact there are any people who even read this boring blog since I don't write much in it! But after a long hiatus, I've decided to turn over a new leaf in 2008 and see what the word actually is.

Last year I accomplished so much and am extremely proud of myself and the person I have become. I can hardly wait for this year to get going and see what kinds of shenangigans I will get myself into. I just registered for classes at Cal State Fullerton, for which I am very excited! I feel like finally I am headed toward something in my pursuit of a career in journalism. For those of you who know me, know that I had the opportunity to do an internship at the Tribune newspaper for the business section. I had the greatest editor in the world...and I mean that. I learned so much from him and he let me do everything that a staff reporter would do. I really had a miniscule idea of what path I wanted to take in journalism when I started at the Trib until I stood in front of the camera and interviewed someone. It was though at that very moment I had an epiphany. I LOVED that spotlight and grandeur..lol..of being on the camera talking and watching myself later while it was edited. Some would call me somewhat of a ham, and maybe I am...maybe I should try poetry instead LOL. (if you don't get it, re-read the previous sentence!) The jist, I guess, would be that now I am on track towards a goal, I couldn't be happier. I still work at Islands..love it/hate it...but mostly hate it now--but it is a job and I do need the dinero so I stick with it. And I have met some of the most wonderful people, those are nearest and dearest to my heart there so for that, I will stay. At least until a better opportunity comes for me. This turned out to be one of the longest blogs I have ever written...which isn't many, I think I've only posted like 10. Kind of a random one as well..but then again so am I.

Among my many new year's resolutions, that I hope to keep, one of which will be to update this blog more often, sometimes with pictures to make it look cool, and find out what the word actually is.

the picture is me on new years with my girlfriends!! Enjoy : )

Gone but not forgotten

Well....to all who read this blog, the reason I havn't written anything is because well I forgot my password. Ha yes folks I forgot the password to my own blog..but luckily in a fit of boredom here at the tribune as I sit and wait for a source from Parsons to call back I had the time to rack my brain to remember.

I've spent a lot of time here (at the trib) during my summer which pretty much only consisted of work..here and at my shitty job as a server/bartender. In between I try to sleep as much as I can. What a life huh?? I did however, manage to take some trips! I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with some friends for a week and then on to Guadalajara with mi mejor amiga Andrea to visit her familia. And what a good time we had!! Much ceviche eating, clubbing going, tequila drinking fun!

I also applied to Cal State Fullerton (finally!!!) for the Spring. So i'm currently awaiting a response. Also I am NOT excited about having to return to Mt. Sac for another semester bc the class I need to take is stats..which blows. I am, however, happy to be back on the newspaper staff for my (hopefully) final semester.

Well if anyone out there reads this..which I doubt since Ariel took me off the blog section of the mountaineer website...thanks alot haha...leave me some comments so I know I'm worth something to someone lol.

Take care...Ciao!

bored!

i HATE when sources don't call you back....it's the most annoying thing ever! I'm here with my story written just needing a couple quick quotes and there are none because this man won't call me back! aarrgh...ok enough bitching. thee end..

back to the grind

well i havn't written on here in awhile so I think I need to catch you up!

I got an internship with the san gabriel valley tribune newspaper in the business section..it's going very well so far. ha today was my first day...i wrote two stories which wasn't very hard at all considering I havn't written a story in over a month. Well that's about it for me...I leave to Mexico in a week! ya viva me...until later

Mi vida loca

Mi vida loca....yes that's right people my crazy life.

There is so much that my life consists of every damn day. Right now much school, studying,working, editing, writing, thinking and maybe a little too much online shopping..thank you Victoria's Secret.

My parents just came back from a vacation in beautiful Cabo San Lucas and I was jealous!!

Those nice beaches and great sun, yummy margaritas and chilaquiles..but most of all I was jealous of the slow pace of life there.

As more and more time passes in my own life in this country, I am focused constantly on how stressed and really tense I am. And for what?? To race over to Target to buy some shampoo or whether its driving like a maniac on the freeway Americans are always in a hurry to get somewhere.

I try for this American lifestyle to not be my lifestyle. I pray for this crazy pace of life not to be my own. But then I wake up and smell the starbucks and realize that I aspire be a journalist, a very stressful, in-the-moment type of job.

Funny huh...maybe ironic even.

My grandfather is my inspiration. That man moves to the beat of his own drum, believe me. He eats lunch for an hour and a half, drinks wine and enjoys his days watching the news, reading the newspaper and working in his garden.

If we all took more time to be like him and just chill and not worry about the five tests we have this week and the 30 hours a week we must put into our jobs we wouldn't have such crazy lives.

Just some advice I should take myself on a topic that has been heavy on my mind.

Good night!!!
