25 is the greatest number

Yayyy today is finally over. I had a stressful week but it went well. Next week will be even more stressful, but I can handle it! I thought I'd post a bunch of photos from the past couple of weeks. I've been doing  a lot of different things. I went to three concerts in one week (Moonsorrow, Iztakh Perlman, & Roxette), working frantically on studio, turned 25 years old, and made some new friends. It's been crazy, but fun <3

Roxette <3

My studio friends took me out for sushi after studio on my birthday. The car parked next to us had this written on it~ Coincidence!!!!

Dos Equis man creeping forever.

I placed him like this today so whenever someone enters our studio, they are greeted by mr. creeper. A guy in my studio stole him from some bar. He is a great addition to our studio.

Moonsorrow at the Whiskey! They were awesome!!!

Making site models + concepts

We had a review yesterday. Long day.

Inside joke.

Green tea ice cream with Jasmine tea in Little Tokyo~

My bro and I. We always end up matching somehow without speaking to each other about what we are gonna wear. Yesterday was 'stripes day'!

Been re-reading and catching up with Naruto. It is so good.

This is a funny story. On my birthday (09/25/2012) I was filling out a form for school. I wrote the date, signed the paper, and turned it in. The lady I gave it to came back out with the same paper and pointed to the date that I had written. I looked at it and said "yeah...seems correct to me". She looked up at me and pointed to the date again. I looked down and read it out loud "09/25/198......1987??". I had written my birth year instead of 2012. She started laughing and I was just amazed that I hadn't realized what I'd done. Automatic reaction to writing the numbers 09/25 is 1987 in my head ~

Amazing hair.

OKAY gotta go to school and work~

GUESS WHERE I'M GOING!

I'm flying to New York on Tuesday!!!! My friend is gonna drop me off at the airport right after studio where my family will already be waiting for me. It was a last minute decision...My aunt called up my dad and told us to come for a birthday celebration. We don't see each other enough and my parents need a break, so we decided to go! So we'll be there for a week. I'll bring my laptop to do school work (I can't afford to fall behind....have had a pretty stressful week as it is)~

On Thursday I got a call from my cousin (from NY) telling me that he was in LA for a day (he flew here for work). It was such a surprise. My parents picked him up from Westwood and he spent a couple of hours with us before he had to leave. When I hugged him 'bye' I said "I'm not sad that you are leaving because I know I'm gonna see you next week". I wish I could always feel that way~

YAYYYYYYYY I'M GONNA SEE MY COUSINS SOON <3 <3 <3 <3

It's that time again

Summer is over. My final year of architecture school begins tomorrow. It's strange looking back to this insane ride that I've been on for the past four years. I remember my first day. I remember writing a post about how sad I felt and how scared I was. I feel nervous right now as I'm typing this. I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of that nervous feeling that you get right before something important is supposed to happen. Even though I still feel nervous, I've grown a lot from that first day. I've endured stress and panic, fear of the future, family troubles, and heartache. I've lost time spent with loved ones, relationships, friendships, and sleep. But I've gained a lot in the process. I've experienced sadness, happiness, and the feeling of accomplishment. I've traveled and I've made new friends. Even though it hasn't been a smooth ride I'm glad that I'm still here for it and will get to finish it no matter what happens later on.

I want to cherish all the good things that happened this summer. This photo is from one of the happiest days of my summer. We all went out for my sister's birthday. My mom was feeling much better than she usually does. I wish she could always be happy as she was that day. I hope that two semesters from now, when I graduate, she'll be okay~

I can do it <3
