You Only Live Once...

And right now, this life is boring!
I wake up & go to school.
I come home & do hw.
I wake up & go to work.
I come home & do hw.
& repeat.
The weekend comes & I catch up on sleep.
That's life as of late.
What a bore!!!
I MISS MY IRRESPONSIBLE, FUN DAYS.

Obviously, the title of my post is a song from the Strokes♥
While catching up on reading some blogs, I saw these photos of Alexa Chung as posted on http://www.stylescrapbook.com. I love Alexa's style! & Stylescrapbook is one of my favorite fashion blogs to read :) It's nice to see a fellow Latina making her name known.

Oh, so swoon baby starry nights

2009 is almost to an end. And I don't know whether or not I hate this year. I've felt a sense of lost friendships, although in the technical term, I am still friends with said question marks.

And then there are those moments that made '09 one to remember...
I am beyond grateful for the friends who stood up and were actual friends to me. They know who they are. Family has also stepped up to the plate. With one little person in particular who has filled my heart with both a bit of sadness and endless amounts of happiness. And then the fear of losing my little buddy, David, had me realize that I cannot take life for granted. He has also managed to put a smile on my face every single time I see him. He's my little survivor & I absolutely love having him in my life.

Then there have been the events where I wondered "what am I going to wear!?" & made me forget about the problems surrounding me. There were many, many, many moments. From being able to step onto my beloved Dodger Stadium field, to meeting Diego Garcia, to laying on the sand w/ friends, to remembering how much I loved guestlists, to walking all of downtown & getting lost while looking for a museum with my best guy friend, to taking a chance(that although it failed) I enjoyed the nights I stayed up all night talking to him, to cutting loose & getting the hottest guy in a bar(talk about self-esteem boost!), to finding out beer isn't so bad... good times.

One last note... I have rekindled my love for Interpol. Though they have always been one of my favorite bands, I had neglected to hear them in recent times & have a new found adoration for their good ol' tunes. Also I have realized that although I still think Paul Banks is sexy, I have changed over to Daniel Kessler because he is simply adorable, is an amazing guitarist, he's sexy and has great moves.


Did I mention he is sexy?

& speaking of sexy... I love Matt Kemp. & love that he tweeted this:

oh hayy! ;]

It doesn't matter, baby.

The fall quarter consumed my life in during the past month. & then my two(yes, TWO!) jobs have made me into a productive, mature version of myself. I am not sure whether or not I am taking a liking to this new found me, because I am beginning to miss my care-free days like crazy. And meanwhile I have managed to engage in some social play on rare occasions, I am sure glad to be on winter break(from school at least).

Before I ramble, which I have decided to do via photos, I did end up going to see Elefant, up front & center, of course. I met all 4 band members, again. I got Diego's autograph. Woke up the next day with massive bruises on my legs/knees due to all the pushing of the crowd. Life is goooooooooooooood.
(More photos from this night on my Flickr)






Also, I have rekindled my crush on this beautiful man, Raoul Bova.




& I'll end this post with these old photos, of my boots & Walter's boots. & of a tree I took a photo of during a walk of the museum.

quick update:

My nephew David is still in the hospital. His surgery went fine, but he's been in recovery and due to medications that have had to been changed, he's still there.
***Update, Sunday September 20: He is finally home!

School: well... I'm still not sure what the hell is going on. I have had some holds removed, but only to find out there's more.

Work: I am still waiting to start working as a T.A. officially.

Friends: They still suck 'cuz I don't see them, in times of need though, they have at least let me know they still care, via text. However, my boy-best friend aka Walter turns 21 at the end of the month & I am planning to take him out to dinner along w/ the girl bff. But she hasn't mentioned anything, so I'll just make reservations & if she can't make it, Walter said we would just do something the 2 of us.

Men: *tumbleweed passes by...
But with little time for family & friends due to school(or lack of it) and work, I don't have time for much else. And consequently, my "love" life has been non-existing this whole damn year. Pathetic, I know. But part of me wants to change this, I haven't even been on as much as a date in... ya it's been a while!

Speaking of men... lately I have found myself kind of infatuated with yet another amazing artist, Brian Aubert from Silversun Pickups. Musically, he's well... amazing. And I happen to think he's a cutie.


One last note/comment: I want these boots!
