So Surreal.

For some reason it's hard for me to write this blog entry. I don't know what to write. How to express my feelings. But, yesterday as I was walking to the subway station I called my mom to see how she was and she told me that Michael Jackson had passed away. My jaw dropped. I stopped walking. I was speechless.

I think he is the GREATEST performer of all time. No one could move like him, had so much soul and passion like him, or could write UH-mazing music like him. You can't help but smile and do a little move when you hear his music; for his music is contagious. I remember when I was 11 years old driving in the car with my dad and all of a sudden this song came blasting on and my dad couldn't stop singing along...it was Michael's song Rock With You. I'll never forget that day when I was introduced to Michael Jackson.

What I'm trying to get at is how fast one can leave the world. We never thought that Michael would leave the world like this, at this age or at this point in time of his career. It just comes to show that we should live every day like it is our last and to always cherish and keep loved ones close.

"If u enter this world knowing you are loved & you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with" 

-Michael Jackson.

RIP Michael Jackson.

Class of 2009.

Yesterday was the celebration for the accomplishment of what I have worked hardest for in my life! It was the celebration for completing projects that seemed impossible, the countless all-nighters I had to pull, the cutting, sewing, and sweat and tears, the commuting, meeting the most talented and most amazing people, being emotionally drained every day, but most of all doing what I absolutely love to do and was born to do, Fashion Design.

Yesterday, I was thinking about how far I've come. I remember my first day at FIDM, I didn't know how to sew, sketch a 9-head croquis, make patterns, or know the difference between satin and sateen. I was young, naive, irresponsible, and a wallflower. After completing 2 grueling years of Fashion Design I feel like I have blossomed... into a more confident, mature, outgoing, and self-driven young lady. Without my family, friends, classmates, teachers, God, and the belief in myself, I wouldn't be the person that I am today. Now I feel like, scratch that, KNOW that I was put on this planet to DESIGN! It truly is the best feeling to know who you are as a person and know what you are meant to do in this world(:

Congratulations FIDM Class of 2009!

Here are just a few more pictures from graduation:

Just A Few Adjustments.

Since it's 12:13 in the AM that means there's only 4 more days till I graduate! Luckily, today I found my graduation dress. One word to describe the dress = LIME. I was hesitant to try on the dress at first but as I walked around with it in my hand the color grew on me(: Four more days and you'll get to see it...

On another note, don't you just hate it when people take their anger out on you? I DO! But, I am guilty as charged for this action. I have so much running through my mind... having to finish re-decorating my room by the end of June, finish touch-ups on my portfolio, sending out resumes to 324985489 companies, and preparing myself mentally for the Bacehlor's program at school (another 2 years at FIDM :P ) I guess I didn't realize I was throwing all this stress on certain loved ones until now.

I just need to take my anger/stress out on something else....like a punching bag (going to kick boxing & losing a few pounds!), take a cycling class and ride the bike as fast as I can!, or even just meditating in my room with the lights off. The great thing about all of these things, minus the meditating, is that I'll be able to get in shape and feel better about my body(:

Time to work things out...

P.S.! I finally joined Bloglovin' ....so you know what to do(: Follow my blog with bloglovin´

Worst Flirt.

So I've absolutely enjoyed the weather these past few days! Cloudy, overcast, cool...just my style(: If only summer could stay like this...

Random thought:  Flirty smiles are just awkward.

I hung out with a girlfriend this past weekend and we tried this whole flirty smile thing...and I just felt RETARDED. Funny thing...when my friend and I saw this gorgeous XY chromosome (guy) he had the most beautiful eyes. So when I saw his eyes I told my friend it looked like he was wearing mascara and as I told her I did this little hand motion of putting mascara on my eyelashes. As I did the hand motion this other fella who was standing right next to Mr. Beautiful Eyes thought I was saying "Hi" to him or was flirting with him. HA. I didn't even mean to look at him.

Next thing you know this fella comes over to us and asks if he could sit at the table next to us. Being the ladies that we are we said of course. (At this point I was trying so hard not to LOL) As he sat next to me I could tell that he wanted to chit chat...but being the scorpio that I am...I didn't. OOPS. The whole time my friend kept nudging me to talk to him...but I couldn't.

I don't know...moments like that I get nervous and act stoopid. Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself :P
Hope you enjoyed a totally random story...

Birthday Bash.

How's everyone doing? I hope well! This week for me has been crazy...from registering for classes at the butt crack of dawn, to sending out a million resumes, to being the photographer at a birthday party, to running errands around Simi like a loca, to creating the best birthday gift! All in all this week has been good to me(: And I hope it was to you!

Well, this is what I wore to the birthday and I lalalove it! I hardly ever wear skirts so I decided to wear this A-line skirt. I've got to admit though, it is fun to wear skirts and dresses(: You just feel so feminine! Time for me to put the pants to rest and start showing some leg(;
