My Addiction...

So today I yapped and yapped to a good friend about a crush I had w/ this one celebrity boy... lol What can I say, I think I have a bit too much time in my hands. But she made me realize that growing up has its disadvantages... Do you remember the times when we were younger, around young teenage years where we can just be silly & goofy and admire people you know you can never be with nor even meet? But during those times, we were able to fantasize and have a little fun with it. I know my dorky phase will eventually fade away but I'm enjoying the moment.

My friends who know of my somewhat dorky addiction teases me but I find it entertaining. lol Call me crazy but its hard to find something we adults can fantasize about now a day. I know it sounds silly but its get me by the day and what matters is that it brings a smile to my face :) and that's all that I yearn for.

But since I am in the topic of addiction, there is one thing I did start craving for again... and that's the crave to learn more on guitar. Since my last class I have been putting guitar aside and just didn't have much of the push like I use to at the beginning, but lately my passion is slowly coming back. More and more I crave to learn more on how to better myself in the guitar.

Just last night, I practiced some of the songs I learned and even though I haven't gotten it down as much as I hope I should have at this point. But I refuse to stop learning. I will learn how to play the guitar and I will look back and think of moments like these and be proud of myself that I didn't quit learning I always wanted to learn.

One of my main goal is to write a song and play it on the guitar and perform it to my family and friends. :)

Current songs learning/practicing: "Anyone Else But You" (Fr Juno), "Flightless Bird American Mouth" by Iron and Wine, "Officially Missing You" by Tamia, "Brown Eyed Girl" & more...

Appointment # A LOT...

So it is Monday once again, my least favorite day of the week and work is a drag as usual. Its less than an hour to 12 and I should be getting this done because I have yet another doctor's appointment. This is somewhat getting a bit ridiculous because I don't think I have never gone to a doctor's office this much in my life. I know its a good thing that I am but it can be a drag... I mean who likes going to the doctor, it's a bit nerve-wrecking & somewhat draggy. Oh well...

I bet you all are guessing why I have to go to the doctor so much, that will probably be in a whole other blog, I don't think I'm ready to publicly announce it, but everyone is entitled to have their opinions & guess. Well, I just hope today won't be as bad... in terms of how I feel and how the days go.

***************

Just got back from the doc's office & I am feeling mighty sick. I really hate feeling like this. Its the worst feeling ever. I just hope this feeling goes away real soon, even though I highly doubt it. I cannot function well in these conditions, it's simply terrible. But I will surely keep my head up and hope that my conditions get better by the hour. Looking at the bright side... Work is almost done and Monday Syndrome is almost over!!! Just want to go home already... siigh.

"How To Be" starring Rob Pattinson

"How To Be" starring Robert Pattinson, what can I say, it was extremely entertaining, in which I enjoyed every moment of the movie. I was fortunate to attend the SOLD OUT screening of "How To Be" directed by Oliver Irving at the Burbank International Film Festival this past Saturday. I arrived a few hours early due to the high demand of cravings to see Rob Pattinson light up the screen once again. I knew seating might be a problem, so I made sure I got a good seat. This time, aside from his familiar strong and heart melting character he plays in Twilight, Rob brought a more depressing-dramatic and somewhat comedic aura to the film. It was like you just wanted to feel sorry for his character, but adored him for his full heart.

The synopsis of the film:

"A wry coming-of-age comedy about twenty-something Art (Robert Pattinson) who gets dumped by his girlfriend, moves back in with his parents and hits a quarter-life crisis. Art uses inheritance money to indulge in retail and new age therapies only to end up enlisting the help of an eccentric self-help guru, Dr. Ellington (Powell Jones). Arts painfully funny journey to define his existence brings to the fore the dysfunctional relationship he has with his parents and the importance in his life of his odd-ball friends. How To Be is a timely look at increasingly common phenomena: grown-up children living at home, frustrated creativity and self-help. "

The appropriate reactions were reacted, people screamed once Rob's picture was visible on the screen, people laughed during the comedic scenes and people "aaawwed" when Rob's character Art faced various depressing and humiliating scenes. The movie presented different emotions, and the audience seem to react with great interest, not to mention a round of applause as soon as the movie ended.

Personally, I loved the movie, not mainly because it starred Rob but because he brought realistic emotions to the movie and did a really great job playing his character Art. Even though everyone is probably so use to seeing Rob as a heart throb vampire, who I can honestly say captured every Girl's heart who longs to find a man that portrays Edward, he did a phenomenal job with his character in this movie. I don't think there is nothing he can't do. He is a great actor and I can't wait to watch his dorky-like character again. To be honest, I adored his character and don't mind watching him portray somewhat a geeky, helpless, and depressing character. Overall, round of applause. And to lastly add on, not only did we see a different side of Rob but in bonus, we got to see him do what he also loves to do, and that's play music. I never knew he can play the harmonica too... I'm telling you, there is simply nothing he can't do. :) Good Job Rob!

A Friends Visit

So besides my best friend celebrating her 26th Birthday, a friend I haven't seen for over 4 years is visiting LA for 2 weeks. I can't wait to see him. It's been obviously long. I can't believe how fast its been since I last saw him. Crazy!!! Well, no intense plans really. Actually he did have plans to go to Santa Barbara, but unfortunately it was cancelled with very last minute notice.

Anyway, my ideal weekend plans is just to get my Twilight DVD and watch it throughout the weekend... ALL weekend LOL. I don't mind just doing that. I'm sure I will get tired of the DVD but I want to savor the moment hahaha. Lots happening this weekend again but idk if I want to really do anything. I'm still debating. I will see how things go. A friend invited me to go to house party tonight so perhaps I'll go. We will see how I feel. I feel kind of tired... - Whats new really? I've been exhausted lately... but no surprise there, its highly expected.

I do hope I do get to see my Kai (my friend I haven't seen forever). I really miss him and hope to hang out with him while he is here in town. It sucks I'm not quite in the mood but hopefully next week will be much better. I need to catch up on some reading b/c I am falling behind my books. I am surprised how out of focus I am lately on my reading. I need to focus!! FOCUS Czar!

Well, TGIF and hope my weekend isn't as drama as it can possible be... Wish me luck.. I am in for a real treat. Tell you all about it when it's finally out. Have a great weekend everyone!

Decisions Decisions

So this past week has been a bit overwhelming for me. Lots have happened and changed drastically, but I think I will be okay. I have to make so many changes starting now and who would have thought? I will be faced with so many craziness, I really don't know how things will end up. I do believe at the end, i will know every stressing moment I am having right now and will have will be worth it all. I can't stress enough how things are getting insane by the days go so I hope I will stay focus and be able to handle every obstacle coming my way...

At the brighter note, I have locked myself in my room almost all weekend and watched more movies. I think next week will be a bit chaotic so I wanted to relax as much as I want. I am expecting a visit from a long time friend and suppose to go to Santa Barbara for a high school reunion. So I don't know how that will go. I am not quite sure if I will go though because I am a bit short in cash. I really need to start saving. I promised myself NO spending after my VA trip, so I should really stick with that plan.

At any rate, I still need to post more pictures up from my trip and previous events since November...so I really need to start working on them.. sigh, its going to take a LOOONG time.
Good luck in that :P lol

Reality is biting me in the butt...

So it's mid-week already, a week when I left to VA. Unbelievable. I cannot believe how fast the time went. I am sadden that my mini vacation flew by so quick. I haven't gotten time to blog about my VA trip, but it is coming. But I wanted to blog about my last 3 days back to work... one word - "INSANE!" It has been crazy the last couple of days, not to mention, I am still trying to catch up with some sleep. I am extremely lacking it.

I will be having a crazy crazy week... I am not looking forward to it... but the same time, I am... lol you know what i mean ;P But my weekend starts early. I am going out tonight with a friend I haven't seen in a while to Viper Room for a Hiphop CD release and to Foxtail Club @ Hollywood for a birthday party. I do not know any of these people so it'll be a new scene. I'm excited but the same time tired. But I am game. Life is short right.

----- So I actually just got back home & had a great time. The Mateo's CD release party went great. I have to add, he was good. I'm glad I'm being more attentive to musicians -- catchy ones I have to add. Oh, I meet a couple nice people which made the night even more worth it. Despite me feeling a bit woozy, the night went great. Had a beer, great company whom I haven't seen since last year, got to dance for a bit & met nice people, I would say the night was a good night. I needed it badly lol :)

I have to add, I'm glad I finally went to AREA night club. It was actually really nice. The crowd was good, very attracting people - WOW... But I had to remember, it was Wednesday & I still need to get some rest, so rest is waiting for me. I just hope today will be a less stressing day than the last couple days.... The last thing I need is to looked so stressed out, like the image lol :) I'll keep you posted.

Night at Norfolk

So it's my first night at Va and it's a great feeling. Before I mention what I'm doing, my flight was pretty good. Got great seats, window :). My flight was a bit delayed, but otherwise, it was good. I was soo hungry but as soon as I got to the house, I got the royal treatment of "mom's-like" cooking. Despite I still can't eat rice, I had asparagus & spinach as an alternative. It was good.

I am trying to go online to do some work, but no internet available yet. So that leaves me to read my book. I am almost done so I get to start my new book. I can't wait. Well, I will update you more, but I need to get some sleep. Night night for now.

East Coast, Here I Come

So it's 10:26am and I have about and hour & a half more before I head home and get ready to head to the airport. Work is chaotic as usual. I decided to step up the plate and take charge with a project that is well over due. Too bad I won't be here for the rest of the week to work on it, but I will be good and work on it when I'm at VA, it's the least I can do... Work... wow.

Other than work, I am pretty packed and ready. I made sure I wrote a list of things that I need to remind myself to bring, lol, I tend to forget a thing or two on my trips - it's natural. Good news is, I heard the weather is so much better there than here in So Cal, but it will be still pretty cold- yikes!

12:53pm - Going nuts. Work held me back as always. They really need to learn how to be more prompt, otherwise they're great! lol. I am eating a small meal... about to get ready and out the door to Burbank AP.. I'll update you all as soon as I get to VA... I wish everyone a wonderful CA week!!!

A Good Deal...

The Day Before My Departure

So after backing away from my social life, I finally acquainted myself with a friend I haven't been conversing with for a few days. I was a bit relief that I was able to vent out on how I felt about our previous vendetta that occur ed last week... I guess I was disappointed on how the outcome ended up but I have to consider that "things do happen for a reason." I'm glad I have care-free friends to remind me that. I realize after accepting the fact that my master plans wouldn't go the way I planned, what bothered me more was that I have been looking at the negative side of things lately. It really saddens me that the negativity is getting on my skin.

I'm actually glad I am taking this trip by myself. This will give me time to relax with no distraction and enjoy myself with family and friends I haven't seen in ages. Despite if I don't end up doing anything, I think it'll still be great. I think getting away from LA, most especially California will do good for me. Hopefully, when I get back, things will fall in place and I will be more than focus then ever. I don't know what it is... I hope when it comes down to it, I'm not just bored. lol that would be really funny, in a bad way.

So my plan when I get back to LA was to go get lunch with my little cousin, but I just extended my flight for a few more hours. That being said... I will get dinner instead of lunch with my cousin... and my plan is to get dinner at "Pigs and Whistles" Hollywood, Ca. I'm actually excited to see how that place is. I've been wanting to go there for awhile now, & who better person to go with then my 20 yr old cousin... That means I get to enjoy a beer or two :P

Well, its' almost 7:30 and I still have so much to do. On my agenda, laundry, pack, work & pack!!! Unfortunately, I still have no idea what to bring, wear & did I mention BRING!!!!
