Cupcake #3: Red Velvet edition
I love my bestie but let's face the facts, rarely does he ever do anything nice for me. HOWEVER, he bought me a red velvet cupcake yesterday! Red Velvet is my favorite, I think it's his too. I love it! :)
Irredesent
Bestie, Lauren, and I got matching purses! Lauren got teal and I got a really pretty pearl iridescent.
My first pair of Tigers!
My roommate, Jordan, has a full closet of Tiger Shoes and I just bought a pair! I'm kind of excited about them! They're very cupcake-like. ;)
My Coffee Adventures!
I always seem to be at a coffee shop doing some kind of work on my days off... this day was a little more intense. Allow me to share ;)
12pm to 5pm: My drink at Peet's Coffee. No lie... AMAZING! It was a Raspberry Mocha. One of the best most artistic drinks I've ever had!!! I was so happy I got it. It would have made my day if not for something else. :)
7pm-9pm: My drink at The Coffee Bean. A Jasmin Pearl Iced Tea. It was really asian tasting! and I mean, I was totally expecting that from the name but my friend who joined me said "it taste like bathroom soap" and as I continued drinking it I thought to myself "I'm drinking bathroom soap" regardless, it wasn't bad. just something I think I needed to aquire first. It looked really cute though- purple straw and all. haha.

I think he just pulled a Jerry Mcguire
Tonight he told me that we complimented each other. That's pretty awesome of him to have said. and... I completely agree.
There are some moments that make me love him even more.

RIP Andy
I've been contemplating buying a Warhol print so I did a little research and found out that he died the year of my birth tomorrow, Feb. 22. Sign much? I think so!
Marc Jacobs Daisy in the Air
I don't typically like Marc Jacobs scents but I like this one. It's sooooo Lauren Conrad. haha jk. ;)
Coffee free
I'm trying to lay off coffee for a while. It's going to be hard because I love it so much but I think it's for the best.
I've noticed that I've been drinking coffee to suppress all the sadness and discontentment I've been having as of late but that's of course not healthy. So I need to stop.
I've been thinking about it some more and I think I really need to let go of lot of what I love.
I love coffee, and I love sugar and I love him. but all of those are bad for my system.
Wish me luck.

I'm tired of being penciled in
I get the fact that I've put myself in a terrible position but regardless of what terrible situation IM in the truth is... it takes 2 to tango.
I know I constantly tell myself I deserve better but maybe I don't because I put myself into this. I think what I'm trying to say is that I'm tired of being put on some ones back burner. I'm tired of being penciled in and I'm tired of asking and looking like a fool.
To all guys out there: please stop making me your backup. please stop using me. I don't know any better so if you could just be up front with me I'd really appreciate it.

Plaid cookie
Jordan got a bouquet of cookies from his parents and I'm SOOO stealing one of the plaid ones. Yum! :)
Vika Visits OC
Vika visited me in OC for the very first time.
Needless to say, just like the two of us, it was incredibly chill. We weren't really in the fancy dining mood so we just walked around my complex and town center, bought Thai Iced tea and enjoyed the beautiful OC weather drinking it outside. It was nice catching up with a good friend but I think I came to realize something.
We're both so worn down. I mean, we're fine. We're young and goal oriented but getting worn down as life keeps pulling us down.
Regardless, it was chill, cost efficient and just a great time together.

3 days
It's been 3 days since I've last spoken to you and already I'm a mess. What's gonna happen when we say good-bye forever?! Sad day indeed.
"Doggy"
Anthony from the orphanage called this a doggy. It's obviously not but it's still so cute! It was muddy and most children in America would not touch this thing with a 6 foot poll but every time I saw it at Sidai it would always be in a different spot from where I last saw it. That just meant they played with the muddy little "doggy" and they loved it. I love looking at it because it reminds me of those kids and I love those kids with all my heart. Happy Valentines day. That's real love, btw. ;)
You're some kind of amazing
I looked over at you today and you made an expression that made me want to take a picture of it and keep it forever.
You may be cold-hearted, indifferent and mean but any guy that can make me feel like that is some kind of amazing.

Presentation is everything
I had a really long and great conversation with my little brother Marcel today and one of the topics we had talked about was presentation. This is the perfect example. The sushi itself was TERRIBLE however presentation was kick-ass! :)
Things that break my heart #1
Sometimes I think to myself...
Maybe if I'm the best person possible then I'll find a place in your heart.
I'm slowly learning that there may not be a place no matter how hard I work my way in. That I have to keep fighting hard for your attention and that you'll never care for me the way I care for you.
It's a sad reality but a reality nonetheless.
I know you don't want to change but I don't either and it's getting harder and harder to make compromises and acting like I'm not hurt because you so blatantly don't care.
I know your personality makes you... you and I love you more than words can express.. however, you're tainting me and your gradually taking pieces of my spirit away from me.
I hope the day we say our final goodbye is one step closer to finding someone that I can have emotions with and not have to make so many compromises for... cause I think I deserve to be happy with someone who doesn't have to work hard to care for me.
I'm sure we both know that.

He told me love was an inconvenience for him, that when someone loved him he had to work harder to care, or pretend to anyway.
Bottom line is, I can't be your backup. I won't be your backup. I REFUSE to be your backup... cause I think I deserve a little more than that.

Free Colorado Hat
I've been thinking about moving to Colorado and I think this offer takes the cake! hahaha!
Of course I'm kidding however despite Colorado being cold, as Khari said to me today, "you may be cold but your bank account will be hot!" hahaha.

ZUUUNE!!!
When I first started working for Microsoft everyone was on the Zune bandwagon and I never was. UNTIL NOW! I JUST got one and I've fallen in love with it! I mean, I get to put as much pop music as I please and I think that's super cute!
Lettuce! hahaha...
Last night one of my best friends and I were hanging out and almost everything we were saying to each other was on point. We think a lot alike and we act a lot alike. We just embody characteristics that the opposite sex typically has. You know, he's a little more indifferent and I'm a little more compassionate, he's a dude and I'm a chick, it's just biological. :P
So last night I was being silly and clowin' (like I always do. haha) and we start joking around and we both say "lettuce" simultaneously. So that's it, I think that that's proof that we're 1 person in 2 bodies. haha. Now, I'm not trying to be cute or emotional. I'm just saying... I'm a lucky girl to have met a friend that I'm THAT connected to.
That's all.

Fairy tales do come true...
My mom bought this movie on VHS when I was a kid and I so fondly remember it being one of my favorite movies. The 2 protagonist of the movie were so kind hearted and giving it gave me a lot of inspiration as a child. Now, as I watched it on Netflix it's really rekindling that corny warm fuzzy feeling I had.
I think I might have found my Valentines day gifts!
It's a lollipop without a stick, a ring of flavor you can lick!" Don't ask how I still remember that! :P
Mc T-shirt
I never knew how much of a "chick thing" Grey's Anatomy was until my friend said "of course you'd like that show, you're a girl!"
I thought everyone liked Grey's Anatomy, boys and girls! I guess not...
but I suppose to all the bros out there lookin' this shirt would DEFINITELY get almost any female fans attention! It would get mine. hahaha...

Mazuri saaaaaana.
Cynthia would always be chewing on random things... plastics, grass, anything she can stick in her mouth. I guess she found it playful but I just found myself yelling at her a lot to "get it out!" (haha!) Whenever I would however Cynthia would look at me with her big bright eyes and coyly bow her head and smile. Her smile is engraved in my memory and her sweet little voice still echos in my head.
Honduras
A big concept I had to understand about Kenya was that cleanliness was near impossible, ESPECIALLY factoring having to play with kids the whole day. It was a hard concept to grasp for me but the day I walked through a 6 feet heap of garbage laughing and enjoying the company of 10 not-so-clean Kenyan children was the day I unlocked a piece of my heart. I learned that "dirt don't hurt" and that "3rd world countries were SO my thing."
So ever since coming back from Kenya 2009 I've had my heart set on going to Central America! Let's hope if I keep my eye on the prize I'll achieve this goal in 2010. Expect an application Global Volunteer Network !
For now, here's a picture of what I'm looking forward to see in person!

HAPPYNESS-The correct spelling isn't relevant. However, the emotion it is!
Every time I go to B&N I pass this book and contemplate purchasing it. It's the most adorable book and I'm ALWAYS tempted to get it but maybe for now I'll just rely on my own thoughts to provoke happiness (or maybe I'll buy the book. Whatever. hahaha)
The Happy Book
Kids have style too... oh yes they do!
Forever 21 for Kids TOTALLY makes me want to have kids. hahaha JUST KIDDING! but I love the idea of kids that are trendier than me! hahaha.
...and VOGUE
Ever since watching The Devils Wears Prada I've had the song "Vogue" in my head.
Here's a performance by Rihanna...
...and a performance by the originator of it, Madonna!
Both SO SO fierce! hahaha!

When she was 22 the... future looked bright
There are moments when I like being elaborate (& FIERCE. haha!) and there are moments when I love simplicity. My 22nd birthday was exactly that and I LOVED every moment of it!
SF Beach overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge. It was a beautiful day!
Bay Area's own Kara's cupcakes. Sprinkles, WATCH OUT!
Such a great surprise walking into a dimmed room and finding a beaming candle on a cupcake
