30 Day Challange - Day 3 & Day 4

Day 3
If you only had 24 hours to live, what would you want to do?

Source: WeHeartIt

hmm... interesting question.

I can probably answer this, But if this were to really happen it would probably would play out the total opposite and I'd be doing a lot of crying and freaking out! haha!
BUT aside from that...

• Of course be with my loved ones!
• EAT EAT EAT (from burgers to cupcakes)
• sing & dance around most of the day
• stop at Disneyland
• shopping spree
• marry my boyfriend
• not sleep the night before
• swim
• give all my prized possessions away to people that will appreciate them
• Tell my mom she means the world to me

Day 4
Write about a period of time in your life where things seemed to be constantly going good.

Actually, this has been recent. The past 6 months have been great. I have went to working in the telephone service center in my credit union to assisting as loan processer in the loan dept. This has given me a better opportunity to show the top dogs what I am really made of! It is very hard in some cases to move up here and I feel so thankful they have selected me to work be in the loan dept. It isn't official but I am hoping and praying it will soon be! Oh and yeah a pay increase that has really helped me out ;)
Also, I have been closer to a lot of my family. I started to realize the negative people in my life that I do not need & begging some to stay in touch. I know who my true friends are and who appreciates me as a person.
Christian and I just hit the 5 year mark & I could not seriously ask for more. He is soo great to me and he's my best friend. I wouldn't choose anyone else to be spending my time with.
I am overall just a happier person and I am actually feeling proud of the person I am becoming. I do come across those negative nancys (hehe) but I don't let that hurt me or bring me down anymore. I move past it and just think that we only live once and we have to take advantage of the little time we are living and that is exactly what I am doing!

30 Day Challege- Day 2

[Day 2]
"Write about the best friends you’ve had over the years."

Well, this is a veryyy interesting subject to me. I have had soo many friends and so many of them end dramatically! I don't know what it is about girls that they have to talk bad about you behind your back, be jealous of you instead of be happy for you. I guess that's why I don't have too many girl friends. I actually was talking to my boyfriend about this subject this past weekend, so it's a bit fresh in my mind. haha!

Let's start:  I met this (ugh) girl, in 8th grade. She went to another school and we still remained friends. When we got to high school we drifted a little but we always came back and it was if we never parted. I always considered her a close friend. Last year was one of those times, she actually asked me to be the maid of honor in her wedding. A few months later, she appointed a second maid of honor, which didn't bother me because I figured there wouldn't be too much on my belt. Well this girl ended up being an evil caniving biottch and told her I wasn't helping. blah blah blah. A week before the wedding guess what? She kicked me out of her wedding, changed her number & deleted me from facebook! Real mature! So screw her and her fake marriage.
The last example, Best friends with a girl since 11th grade. We did everything together, called and texted eachother everyday, you know the whole shabam! After being friends for about 5 years she met a boy. A boy that was in my brothers band. (also a boy she used to bad mouth in high school) anywho, they hit it off which was cool because now we can go on double dates!
One night I got a call from her that her boyfriend abused her and she was histarical on the phone! I picked her up found her with marks all over her face and arms & a black eye!
So as a friend what would you think??? I was so mad I just couldn't believe he was capable of hurting her! When they both drank they got out of control. So my boyfriend and I did everything to help her. We talked to her, took her out, offered for her to stay over and everything we can possibly do. One night my boyfriend gets a text from my friend's boyfriend asking why he badmouthed him to my friend? I was like, really? So turns out she went back to him without him knwoing and told him my boyfriend and I try to brainwash her basically!!!!!!!! OMG Really??? she has some serious issues! and this happened out of nowhere! so from what I know they are still together. So good luck to that!

POSITIVITY!
I actually have some good friends! hahaha!
Although I don't know if I can count him, but my boyfriend Christian is my everything! He is my bestest friend He's seen my high & lows and loves me no matter what :)  I will  love him until the end of time.



Lizette- I was in high school colorguard with this girl. We were always good friends & started parting together. We lost contact a few years back after high school and reunited & here to stay! She is totally my row dogg! and I knw she is down for anything! We have so much in common yet we are so different. I love it! She is the only friend that I KNOW for a FACT has my back! (vis-versa) She is such a good friend & we have soo many memories in the past & yet to come!

Margaret
I met this girl at our previous job. We now again work together at a better place!
She is just a bit older than me, I see her like the older sister I never had. She always helps with really big decisions. I seriously can't ask for a better friend! Love her to pieces!

And I have to write about my friend Jessica!
This may be record breaking! I have been friends with this girl since 3rd Grade and I graduated 6 1/2 years ago so guessing like .. almost 16 years? Wow! I don't talk to her often but I knw she is still there and she never misses my birthday :)
Our families are close. loveeee them ♥


   clockwise: Jessica, Me, Lizette & Bianca

In conclusion of this loooong blog post, I have had friends where I like certain boys and they go hook up with them behind my back, later years down the line, i find out they always said bad things about me for no apparent reason. But then I think about the good people in my life & I just think about how miserable & sad those people must be to do evil things to people like me for no reason.
There are good and bad people that enter/leave your life. The bad ones, well I don't have any regrets but I wish it never happened! Everything happens for a reason and for those people I still have, I am so thankful! My cousin Leo & Bianca are awesome and I have my mommy! She is always number one!

Weekend Adventures

Friday- Christian & I accompanied our two friends on their first date.

We set them up & look cute together♥

We ate at the Alcove Cafe and Bakery in  Los Angeles.

Not far from my house.

I wanted to take a picture of my yummy panini turkey melt w/sweet potato fries

BUT the lighting was not so great!

Check out the sweets:

Saturday- My cousin collected all her brides maids and we went out to eat

at my favorite place ...

the San Antonio Winery.  We discussed wedding details :)

Not only did she pick up the bill, she also gave all the brides maids different shades of MAC Red Lip Sticks for us to wear at the wedding & ME.. since I am the maid of honor she gave me a black ruffled makeup bag with a hello kitty keychain, hello kitty chapstick & also a Russian Red MAC Lipstick.

She is total opposite of Bridzilla! I love her!

Not the best picture of us hahah

but you can notice our red lips♥

The middle gal is my beautiful soon to be bride cousin!

actually 4 of these lovely gals are my cousins :)

All the wine & left over food!

Sunday- I went hiking with my cousin Jessica in Eaton Canyon.

She is on the cross country team for her school.

Second fastest runner at Alverno High School.

The view from the top!

This was "Photo Op Heaven!!" too bad I only had my cell phone.

Lastly, the best for last, took almost an hour to reach this bad boy!

We had to cross the river with rocks and hike!

It was an intense workout!

4 miles!

Hope your weekend was great also ♥

 Follow these rules ... your beautiful face shouldn't have this junk on after these months:

Foundation = Purge after 1 year

Powder Eyeshadow = Purge after 1 year

Mascara = Purge after 3 months

Blush or bronzer = Purge after 2 years

Lipstick = Purge after 1 year

Nail Polish = Purge after 1 year

Do any of you gals know any more tips ??
