Poladroid-ing my life

Here you have a peek into my life with the help of my handy Blackberry and Poladroid. Love it.

New haircut, I’m digging it.

Back in time

A long time ago I lived in Uruapan Michoacan (When it was a more peaceful city), I loved living there, it was such an amazing and beautiful city. I still have a lot of friends living there and plenty of memories.

This week, after about 2 years away, I went back for a couple of days. I relived a lot of things, and some pictures. I missed the city so much, I missed my friends, I didn’t have time to meet with all the friends I wanted, but I had a great time, I meet with Jean Paul and he gifted me with a book he illustrated and a calendar he took part of (you can check a lot of his work on the link), I was so happy to see him.

I really want to go back there, the air, the food, the people, everything makes me feel so good. It’s so sad to know I won’t be able to do it very soon.

Anyway, I just wanted to share this, I have to get ready cause I’m going back to school on Monday, I’m not happy about all that ‘Going back to school thing’  but I miss my house, my cat and my boyfriend so much. I want to go back, I miss my own space so much.

So, see you soon kids.

5 things I’d give a year of my life for (day 3)

Thank you everyone for those awesome Facebook messages, texts and e-mails saying ‘happy birthday’ to me. I am now a 25 years old, with a lot of goals and projects, You’ll see, very soon you’ll see.

Now, let’s get to it, 5 things I’d give a year of my life for, day number 3 of this list. Lately a very nice girl has been asking me some questions on Formspring.me, one of which got me thinking, what would I really, really love to do/get/live through if I could, even if it would cost me a year of my life? Here’s the list.

1. I would travel the world. I still have a lot of places to visit, and I’d always wanted to do it with a red suitcase. I’m still looking for that red suitcase to start with, If you happen to have one in good conditions  let me know!
2. I would defeat my fear to drive. This is something I am actually working on, and I hope to be totally ready in a month.
3. I would meet either Gala Darling or Chloe Rice, both amazing and super inspiring women I look up to. I would have so many questions for both of them.
4. I would live in a different country. Alone. Scary? Hell yeah. On my list of plans? Of course! If I could pick right now, I think my first choice would be San Francisco, simply because I love the place,
5. I would get my grandma back, even just for a few hours. I normally don’t get too sentimental or too personal in here, but I’ll make an exception right now: About 2 months before I started this journal, my grandma passed away, which pretty much triggered my need to find reasons to be happy about and eventually led me to all that “Letting sequins into my life” and of course, this blog. I loved my grandma more than life, and she knew it, I am not one of those people filled with regret because ‘I did not say what I had to’, I actually did, PLENTY of times, but still, I would give pretty much anything just to give her one more hug, touch her face one more time and tell her I love her. She rocked.

Here I am with my grandma 2 yrs. ago on the last vacation we took together. We're on a ferry under the Golden Gate. We both loved that city.

So that’s it. A list of 5 things I’d love to go through, get or do.

Anyway, last night I celebrated my birthday with my boyfriend and it was pretty amazing, he cooked for me, we watched Halo Legends (he’s a big fan) talked a lot, hugged my cat, and watch Utena. Tomorrow I am celebrating with my mom, and all I know is that I want strawberry Ice cream, and on Sunday it’ll be my boyfriend’s birthday (Scorpio love, I know) I won’t be meeting him until thursday, then we will celebrate again! I just wish I didn’t have all these tests pending. 😦

Love,

5 silly things i’ve done right before turning 25… (day 2)

…which mainly consists on the last day, since my birthday is tomorrow (yeeppi!) So let’s see.

1. I got my last picture as a 24 yr. old: Yes I have a damn bloody eye, it’s because all this stress.
   
2. I watched Candyman, and I do have a strong opinion about it. I found it interesting, but I’ll talk about very soon,
3. I spent a few hours hugging my normally un-huggable cat. She’s so awesome, I also decided that if I do get a new cat, I’ll name Nanami, after Utena’s character Nanami, here you have her with Touga, her brother and my favorite character.
   
4. I *finally* got my  RFC. (You may not get this if you’re not from Mexico)
5. I got a new savings account. ❤ (i know, I am so lame that I get excited about things like this)

That’s it, I guess this is just me documenting my last day as a 24 yr. old, now let’s just wait for that quarter of life crisis to come. I guess this list got really self-centered, but hey… it’s just to remind me life is good, huh?

Love,
