Wall-E and Eve

This one goes to Justin!! Wall-E is a great movie, you should go see it if you haven't. I used my mad design skills to create this for him, and to clarify I didn't create the vectors, just added the text :) Wall-E reminds me of Justin because he is curious and loves to collects things. On the other hand, I am like Eve, hyper and destroys things. We make a good combination right?

The movie is really cute, and even though there is not much dialogue, it's not needed, it stands for itself. It has a great message and amazing graphics!!!

Sex and the city

I got all the Sex and the city episodes this past january so I have been watching them. I know I am really late since they came out a long time ago. I have really enjoyed the different topics and situations presented in the show. I feel like I am watching the show at the right time in my life, where I am old enough to relate and understand.

I guess the biggest learning curve for me has been seeing the big picture when it comes to love and relationships. As a viewer, it is easy for me to get the point, to see how and why women get crazy and psycho some days, and to understand both side of the stories. The funny thing is that when I am in those situations, many times I act like the naggy annoying woman who is just being a girl and wants attention. Guys are simple and to the point, they know what they are told and what they see. They aren't here to read our minds, they are here to love us and spend time with us. Of course, I am not speaking for all members of the male population, but for those guys who turly love us. We women get so wrapped up in the dumbest little details that don't even matter. We expect men to know everything we want and feel and it doesn't work that way; unless you communicate, you will be waiting frustrated forever.

Obviously, I see the women side of the story, I know guys don't get us most of the times. We think they are careless and selfish. The truth is that they are with us because they love us, otherwise they wouldn't be. We tend to over analyze everything and find little details to hang on and fight about. I am not speaking for all women of course, there are many exceptions. I guess my biggest struggle is growing and being able to see the big picture and enjoy the simple things in life. I believe there has to be great communication and balance for a relationship to work. Sometimes you give in, but many times you gain.

Watching sex and the city allows me see those mistakes women and men make when it comes to relationships. The thing I am working on is making sure I am rational when I encounter those situations in life where I have the choice to make a difference or to be another girl in the city.


Some of my favorite quotes from the show:

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous."

“When you're young, your whole life is about the pursuit of fun. Then, you grow up and learn to be cautious. You could break a bone or a heart. You look before you leap and sometimes you don't leap at all because there's not always someone there to catch you. And in life, there's no safety net. When did it stop being fun and start being scary?”

“Maybe mistakes are what make our fate... without them what would shape our lives? Maybe if we had never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, have babies, or be who we are. After all, things change, so do cities, people come into your life and they go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart... and if you're very lucky, a plane ride away”

Weekend happenings

So it is sunday night, another week is about to start! I love weekends!! why are they so short? So friday night I finally the 1st Harry Potter movie, I know I am way late, but I just never really wanted to become obsessed. The movie was good, I love the imagination of the writer, it is very cool, I will be watching all of them until I catch up to go see the latest one that is coming in theaters this summer. Saturday, we went bowling for the Junior Achievement Disney Bowl-a-thon, it was fun. I had not bowl since like 5 or 6 years ago, and not to mentioned I am way too used to Wii Bowling, so I had a rough start, but it got better! I actually did pretty decent, then we went to eat at Pei Wei, I love me some chicken fried rice! Today I just cleaned and rearranged the living room, did laundry and went grocery shopping at the new target, it is so cool! I love target.

Justin and I decided to give netflix a try, it is actually really cool, I think what I like the most is that you can stream the movies to your TV you have to have an Xbox and an online subscription, which Justin has, so it is pretty sweet. I got watch the pink panther and I forgot how funny and silly it is, I had not seen it since I was a kid.

I am going to start adding more art and inspiration to my blog. I got to see a Disney friend's blog and I got inspired, he is also getting married to a beautiful lady, and they have the best wedding invitation ever!!! I am very inspired by that invitation and now I want to get married! ha just kidding...

Hello

Long time no write...I am really bad about writing on here. Well, what's up? new year, oh wait! it is march!! almost spring time, we just spring forwarded our clocks last sunday, not very fun, I feel tired and messed up for a week. Can you imagine if I was from California? I would be so lost every time I visited, I don't know how Justin does it. Oh Justin! he is so funny. I love him, he is such a character, a cute one I might add, he is always teaching me all these cool things, and sometimes I am like blah blah..but I do grasp..it just takes me a while haha.

It was cold these past few months.. It was nice but so weird for FL, like my car was frosted twice, I had not had to wait for my car to defrost since Winter 2006 in NC. Crazy!!

Okay, so I need to get going because American idol is about to start and I need to research our pool pump brand. See ya!

Lazy sunday

Last saturday my mom turned 50, so I thought we should do something special for her. I had been planning a month in advance with the help of my dad and Katherine. Justin and I drove friday around 2pm. I had forgotten what it is like to drive for ten hours!!

It was cool to do a road trip with Justin, we had fun, we talked, and listened to music, and ate. Then it got dark and VERY COLD! I was freezing when we pulled for gas. My mom was very surprised! I was a little nervous of how she would react, but she was happy and excited. The next day we threw her a surprise masquarade black and white party. It turned out very nice and my family had a lot of fun. We had great food, and drinks. We had a pinata and a mask contest. It was hilarious to hang out with my family, they are all really funny, crazy and loud in a good way. We went to Carlos' house to play guitar hero. We had a good time, everybody played and we had pizza and wings. Later in the evening, we got to hang out with my friends, we had mexican with Liz and family, Christen, and Lauren. We went out with Lauren to foothills and Burke St. I was able to drink woodchuck! yay, it was very good and cheap, thanks to Mark!

Right now, Justin and I are watching movies and just being lazy on a sunday. It is storming, so it is like perfect weather. We saw no reservations last night. It was an okay movie. It moved a little slow and weird, but it was cute. I just don't like movies when a little girl/children lose their mom at an early age. It is so sad! We also started watchign hairspray but I fell asleep. Go figure. Today we saw "The Simpsons movie", it was funny, I used to watch the simpsons all the time when I was younger, so it ws good to see it again in a movie. It started raining harder!

Back to the Blog

Hello there,

So I haven't written a blog in a very long time. I think the last time I was blogging was back in 2006, right after college. What brought me back? I am not sure, perhaps a need for inspiration, perhaps I need to start writing again so I can get things off my mind, or maybe to better explain myself.

I am not really a writer or reader, I do enjoy it, but many times I am lazy, yes I'm being honest. I just really need inspiration to write, or read, or even to design and I haven't had much inspiration lately. 

On a different note, I miss college very much. As much as I was so ready to get out, I knew I'd miss it. I really miss learning and I miss being around so much art and inspiring people. I feel like I have lost touch with my artsy side, like I have become some ordinary working person with no need for art, which is not really me because I love art! and well, I do have a painting hanging in the room, which I created this past august to match the room decor. I replaced the beautiful dolphin painting I made back in my color theory class. That is probably one of my best paintings, it's just that I need a different kind of colors right now.

So what is up? what is new since my last blog two years ago? A WHOLE LOT! my whole life has changed dramatically, some for the better. The past two years have been quite an adventure, I have met tons of people, I have made friends, lost some, I have been working like a bee. I am dating a wonderful guy and he is a source of beautiful inspiration. I do miss my family and friends very much and, yes I do miss good ole North Carolina.  

Florida has been fun, I always wanted to live here so bad since I was younger, the sunshine state, it is shiny, but probably hotter than I want it to be. Do I call FL home? no I don't think so, I haven't really found those roots yet, well I mean obviously there has to be some kind of root, because I have been here for quite a while, it is fun, there is always something to do, but it is missing something, and I am still trying to figure it out.

Let's see what else? there are lots of things on my mind, lots of updates to do. It's like I am trying to start back where I left up two years ago, but too much has happened and it will take a while to write it all out! But for now, I think I will stop, but it felt really good to be free and write.
