the hair blues are no more!

In proper prep for "back-to-school" i did a little clothes shopping... not too much. Sadly i've gained weight this past year and REFUSE to buy bigger size jeans since i know i'm gonna work the weight off in the next 3 months [i'm taking a hip-hop dance class AND aerobics]. So i got a few shirts from Forever 21 [Y] and a few cute hair accessories. which bring me to the topic of this posting.... it may seem vein or unneccessary.. but darn it! its important to me!!



my lovely hair has been a mess the last 4 weeks! i had it all braided up for a good 2 months until i realzied how tender-headed i am! [its paintfully tender]. then after 4 weeks for head bands and cute lil hats [like the ones below] that hide "bad hair days" they are no longer necessary.. until another bad hair day its or it gets cold.

*totally un-hair related... but fashion related*
While i was looking around at diff website for cute new items. I think it looks cute together.. not too much pink, right? I had considered wearing this top to the Britey Spears concert next month.. kinda has a 'circus' theme since it has strips, no? But I settled on making my own shirt... pics will be posted closer to date of concert.

And these sunglasses from Pastys are tooo cute! and so appropriate for right now because its extremely hott and sunny in the Los Angeles area due to all these crazy fires!



** once my hair is all done up and looking cute i may post some pics... you'd be surprised the magic a pressing comb can do! **

Summer's End

I've been kinda MIA from this blog.. not much has been going on. Trying to relax and prepare myself for one of my last 2 [or 3] semesters of college!! Can't believe i'm finally *almost* done. My summer class went well, got a B so no complaints here. Hopefully I will be able to update this blog more frequently once school gets back in session; I will have a LOT going on [classes, work, sorority, everything else]. So yea.. and i will definitely keep you [who ever is reading this....] posted on my 101 list... havent completed anything yet =( Could have had the TV taping done... but the lovely studio called too many people to come in and my group didnt get seating! =( oh well... next time will be different!

** and for the sake of adding pictures **

[if you have not seen the show[Criminal Minds- check it out! i just recently started watching it and i'm glad A&E airs re-run. i LOVE crime shows and this one is my new fav... right behind CSI Miami]

101 things to accomplish in 1001 days

*update 9.4.09*
Okay, so a few weeks ago I stumbled upon this website [ Day Zero Project ] and it challenges people to create a list of 101 things they want to accomplish within 1001 days [yes, one thousand and one]. After a lot of thinking and finally completed my list, and even went a little beyong 101 things!

Back in the day... 8.14.1999

Okay so I'm taking a short break from cleaning and preparing for my sorority event to reminisce on my teen years! Exactly 10 years ago today... [is it sad that I've kinda kept track on this knowledge?] I went to my very first concert!



It was an *Nsync concert... I was so in love with the group...it was crazy! Its wierd when I think back on those days when I into *Nsync and Backstreet Boys [yes, I liked both groups]. I spent sooo much money on posters and magazines it's a shame. Sadly these guys arent really a group anymore, but I'm still holding on to the fact that they will take a hint from NKOTB and BsB and reunite for just one more tour, one is all I ask for! Well below is one of their videos that I absolutely loved way back when. Enjoy!

random happenings this week

Haven't posted since Monday.. oops.... well not much has gone on this week, well maybe a little bit of stuff. Got releved of Jury Duty; lawyers dropped the case, so much my CSI-type moment. But it worked out fine since I finished my summer class today. Had the wierdest/funniest final ever. It was open book [which is good] but if you didnt have a book you could share with someone! Sooo there were like 3 small groups taking the final together!!! Hilarious! people had music blasting and having side-convos. The techer didnt care. LoL

Didn't realize until eariler the difficulty of cleaning an entire house! =( i'm preparing for a little chapter 'retreat' with my sorority sisters and we're using my place. Me and my mom are pack-rats... this is sad. I have found many things that need to be disposed of ASAP!!!


*Highly Anticipated Movie*
Nope i'm not refering to New Moon... at least not this time. I finally saw the trailer for the newest Tyler Perry movie "I Can Do Bad All By Myself" I watched the play years ago, thought it was funnie, glad its being turned into a movie. Taraji Henson is a really good actress! AND my favorite Puerto Rican is in it; Adam Rodriguez [actor-CSI Miami].




[YaY me, i figured out how to post the actual video onto the blog, only after an hour!]
So thats all for today... another posting tomorrow for sure!

Daily Thoughts

So day #2.. or 3 of blogging... Me and my buddie Kim [hey chica] decided to make a blog together.. about TWiLiGHT. mainly because we're both hooked on the book series, and the movie, and the cast! So check it out! [TwiRemedy.blogspot.com ] =)

AHH why is Jury Duty such a .... idk what it is.. but I went through it today and its mainly a lot of back & foward "go here, wait there, line up here" lol. But as strange as it sounds I wouldnt mind sitting through a case... just as long as it doesnt interfer with school. So we'll see how tomorrow's session pans out.

TEEN Choice Awards: I kinda felt wierd watching it... mainly because I'm no longer a teen [that went out the window, oh.. 4 yrs ago?] and I barely knew who half those kids [young celebs] were! I remember the TCA days when Nsync BsB, and Britney took over it all! Good times those were. Glad Britney got the Ultimate Choice award! but has J.Timberlake[ Y] gotten it already?!?! If not than I take back my Brit comment.... LoL I am, however, a little disappointed that some of my votes [yes, I changed my age in order to vote... ] didnt stand a chance!

What ever award Channing Tatum was nominated for [i only remeber he was up against RPattz] he should have gotten! but of course 11yr old girls dont understand that much hottness... after looking at the show I realized that this whole Disney Movement thats been going on... is the same as it was 10 years ago: many of the hott celebs came from a Disney background [Mickey Mouse Club]. its funnie to see history repeating it self- sorta.... oh and of course I'm glad Twilight swept up all those awards!!! love that movie!!

Okay, thats all my babbling for one day....
