peek a boo

Sneak peek to my photo shoot with Harrison Stone at Lake Johnson!

Oh and I met Lorenzo Brown...correction hugged*....hugged twice**

Visited a local flower place on Hillsborough on Wednesday, I needed to get something for Arch's family since they allowed me to spend the night at their place after going to Muscle Pump. I had an amazing time with them, eating delicious food til I can't eat no more, and watching Ghajini (gasp, they were shocked I never had seen it before!).  Needless to say, I was too sore for our work out Thursday. Aren't these flowers precious?

but now your eyes see much more

remember when our only wish was to spend every possible moment with each other?

don't judge

i've always wondered what it'd be like to have a relationship with an older man, like a professor or stephen colbert

I'm taking a Film and Lit class and all semester I have been exposed to the most amazing films and novels. Just today we finished watching the famous "Scarface", which I have never seen before. I was actually not looking forward to seeing this film, I'm not the one to watch gangster movies with a lot of violence, but I now crown "Scarface" as my favorite movie ever.

Mostly because I am obsessed with Al Pacino and Steven Bauer and their faces and accents. I wish they still looked like that to this day.

Michelle Phieffer was gorgeous as well! Sans the coke sniffing.

Eerie.

This is personal guys, but I couldn't help to share. I just woke up, I know I'm a sloth! I vividly remember me dreaming about Aziz Ansair (I don't know why but hey! blame my subconscious!) He's such a cute bubbly fun comedian and he is definitely one of my favorites. In my dream we're like...dating?! I know so weird but hey I don't fight my dreams and basically him and I are hitting it off really well. Funny part is that my grad student teacher hooked us up! (Shout out to Eric!) I think we're all allowed to have a celeb crush, even if we find out through our REM cycles.

So I wake up and I'm like awww that would be so awesome if I was dating Aziz! He's so cool, so funny, he'd always make me laugh, we probably have the same interests! I'm basically day dreaming about Aziz and I as I brush my teeth.

This is the creepy part. I go check my email, but full of Groupon and Livingsocial deals I don't care about. Then, I go to check my facebook and my BOYFRIEND posted a link on my wall. Thought it was a youtube video of a song he likes. WRONG it is a link to Aziz's new American Express commercial.

My number one goal, mission, drive, whatever you would like to call it, in life is to please my parents, make them happy and proud. I've been stressing about not having a real stable job to do that, but just surprising them by a last minute decision to come home today at 7pm put a smile on their face that made me want to cry

Wishing I lived in London

My Southern Muse

It was summer in Charleston, and I was seeking inspiration. 

A man dressed in a black suit and a tie grazed passed my eyes.
He had a lingering scent of fresh home-made apple pie.
He carried himself as if all of him contained liberty and freedom.
His hair was perfection, and 
I knew even if the country's president ordered it shaved off,
he would still have the power to impress.
I've never been the one with strong instincts,
But it was nothing but obvious this mystery man was a renaissance man.
Was he a writer? singer? pundit? Son of South Carolina? He must be all,
for no one without talent could stand this tall.
He was pure inspiration, even with a glance
He was the incarnate of America
hater of bears
it was then I realized, I've been blessed by the presence of
Stephen T. Colbert. (DFA) 

Today has been kinda productive! I went to a comedy show at C's church: Michael Jr. I strongly suggest checking him out on facebook or anywhere you can because he is HILARIOUS. His jokes were really funny and I know good comedy. Trust me. They were clean, witty, clever, and I didn't find a moment where I wasn't laughing. He was adorable and he has a mission where he goes to places where laughter is deficient to make it present again. He goes to prisons, homes for abused children, etc and gives people the "opportunity to laugh".

I binged on Taco Bell today. Ugh, I can never go to the beach at this rate haha.

Alsoooooo, I got accepted into LeaderShape! Woo =) 

Le Samedi

My Saturday was beautiful! I spent the beginning of the day being lazy and moping around, but then I went to Cassie's house. We went to Morning Times and I had a blueberry cupcake and a vanilla chai latte along with trying to study medical terminology. Few hours passed by, and I was wasting time on facebook. Since it's pretty obvious I am in love with Stephen Colbert, an ad pertaining to me showed up about a poetry contest. If I write a poem about him I could win a prize with 115 other poets. I said why not ? and in 10 minutes I dished out a poem about my main squeeze Colbert.

Speaking of, you can vote for me hereeee :)

It was around 6:45 and Cassie finished a lot for her internship application. We wanted to take a visit to Father and Son's antique shop which was a block away, but it was unfortunately closed at 6 :( Fortunately, the weather was beyond perfect in downtown Raleigh and we were starving. We wanted to try a new restaurant and we remember coming across one last semester. It's called Calavera and it's an empanada and tequila bar! We strolled down to check it out. It's gorgeous inside, Latino inspired decor. Catholic decorations such as candles with Jesus and saints covering them.

My beautiful Cassandra

 I was really nervous about trying an empanada, never had one before. I decided to get 2 Holy Frijoles, which is stuffed with seasoned black beans (yum), sweet potatoes, and oaxacan cheese (apparently it is similar to mozzarella!)  First bit into these hot pastry and I fell in love! Tastes just like samosas! It was perfect and it came with salsa and a green sauce. The salsa sauce was amazing, and Cassie and I agreed that it's because it's a smooth texture and didn't have a lot of tomato chunks like most salsas do. However, we couldn't stop just there and we wanted some dessert. The menu had two options, King of Kong (banana and nutella) and Key Lime. We decided to get both and split them into halves. Best idea ever. Those desert empinadas are the true definition of happiness because nothing at that moment could ruin my mood!

Here's a crappy pictures of the Key Lime Empanada.

Afterwards, we went back to her house and made plans to go to a "French party" (essentially a party hosted by Frenchies at State). Cassie got dressed, headed to my place, I got beautified and we munched on strawberries and nutella and watched some Toy Story while we waited for Kim to drive up. (Yes, we were still hungry after our amazing dinner haha) We headed to Walton's place and hung out with his friends for an hour or so. It was nice hanging out with Walton because he reminded me of Lille and he is so sweet complimenting on things I wear like my "brown shorts". We then went to the party and there was probably 100 people there! Luckily the moment we stepped inside, it started to storm furiously as well as hail! I couldn't hear it since it was loud in the apartment but I wasn't complaining! I had a lot of fun seeing some familiar faces, using my zumba moves with my fellow zumba classmates on a familiar song, and just enjoying myself after so long. Don't remember when I was in the company of so many people. It's been a while. I felt in my element that I've been taken out of so many times.

It was about 1:30 and the crammed car decided to go back home. On the way back, Kim and Cassie and I (well not I because I didn't see it) but they saw a car from the opposite direction donut multiple times and run into a front yard on our side of the street! If we had gone any faster or was a car ahead of where we were, we could have been hit easily. It was scary and since Kim couldn't immediately stop on the side due to traffic behind us, I called the police and Kim told what she witnessed. I hope nobody was hurt!

Overall, I couldn't ask for a perfect Saturday. I've been wanting to do different things and explore and meet new people and I just did that.<3
