Inspiring

‎"Every one of us alone has the power to direct the course of our lives by choosing what actions we will or won't take. While sometimes it's easier to believe we don't have a choice, the reality is that we always have a choice to behave differently."

Met Bear's twin Teddy...

And his mom (my name twin and new bestie) Hilary.

Turned into a Wii Mii.

Got my man! FINALLY!

Celebrated Bear's 2nd birthday.

Went to Disneyland with Cedes on our Birthday.

December 17, 2010


I can't believe the day finally came! I graduated from the Art Institute of California-Hollywood on December 17, 2010. Almost 3 years exactly after I started.
NO summer breaks.
192 credits in 36 months.
6 new apartments/change of address forms.
3 jobs and one internship.

I have learned so much about myself, life, and about working in the industry. I can't believe how much I have accomplished and grown the last 3 years.

I am now officially a grown up.

My grown up Christmas list


I love Christmas!
The lights, the smells, the desserts, scarves, boots, family and friends, snowboarding, Christmas trees! (especially the one at the grove which is the tallest tree I have ever seen!) The only problem is that every year my list seems to get longer and more expensive. Since Santa can no longer fit everything down the chimney I have decided to write down my Xmas list early this year so he can have time to FedEx my gifts to me.


1. Louis Vuitton Purse
2. Christian Louboutin boots
3. Black 6-speed manual convertible mini-cooper (with free full coverage car insurance)
4. Miss Dior Cherie perfume
5. A cute Xmas sweater for bear
6. Unlimited tanning
7. Bear to be completely 100% house trained
8. Affordable beach front apartment
9. The OC box set
10. Nordies gift cards (cause that's where all my money goes anyways)
11. My credit cards paid off
12. A new snowboard
13. My apt complex to get rid of the $50/month pet rent
14. Lifetime supply of cupcakes
15. Cupcake baking machine
16. Michael Kors watch
17. Shopping spree on Rodeo
18. Spa day at Burke Williams
19. To have registration on my car that never expires/To never have to deal with the DMV ever again!
20. For Bryan to live closer to me.
I have been an extremely good girl this year so ...
21. For this list to come true :)
