Christmas Day

CHRISTMAS DAY!

To me, it's just another day. My family does CHRISTMAS on CHRISTMAS Eve. So we are the family that separates and does their own thing. This year, I drove to Lancaster and met up with my mom and little brother Brian. We decided on Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol and it was really good!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! But it makes me want to see the others to refresh my memory!

**Sadly, my little brother isn't so little anymore**

How was everyone else's holiday?

MERRY CHRISTMAS folks!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve!! I can't believe we have gotten here! I mean, really where has the year gone!? I know I haven't been doing this blog long but I plan on posting about my year (more on that later, of course!!)

Christmas Eve is the time I spend with my Step-Dad's family. I hear it's Mexican thing and I know so many Mexican families that meet on Christmas Eve, so I guess it's true! I've been apart of this family for 13 years now and my aunt Lynda treats me like I'm one of her own. We have an amazing relationship and I'm beyond grateful for her. Even in the beginning, she made sure I was comfortable and felt welcome at all the family events, so I hold Christmas Eve high on my quality family time list.

**This Cheesehead won me title of BEST COUSIN EVER! Kyle doesn't have to tell me for me to know he was thinking it**

**JoJo loves the present I got him**

**And so did Bob! I got Bob the SLAP, I mean, SLICE -O- MATIC. The SLAP part is an inside joke but he really did one of these for Christmas**

And that's it for my Christmas Eve ! How was yours??

So much has happened...

Hey bloggers!!

I know it's been 10 days but with the Holidays, I've been nuts! I've been off of work all week and it's been amazing. I'm sad it's almost over!

Alright, to start it off: I went to a Fashion show benefiting modern day slavery, human trafficking, child labor, and human rights violations. I know, I know, pretty intense! But I'm glad I was able to donate and learn about this amazing project!

Check it out here: Freedom and Fashion

My friend Ramela and I drove out there and eventually met up with Jaime... who was LATE! How rude?! But it was nice to watch this fashion show with Ramela who is a fellow closet CLOTHES JUNKIE and gossip about the models and clothes.

**I was at a fashion show... hence the see-thru Hello Kitty shirt**

More to come!!

Jay's Birthday @ Busby's West in Santa Monica

Happy Tuesday friends!!

This is days behind as my office is closed all of next week (Xmas thru New Year's) and we are trying to get things finished and cleaned before we leave so instead of updating my blog at work, they actually have me working! How dare they?! Kidding... kinda. This weekend was filled with a ton of things going on. I had a friends birthday party, a fashion show, last minute Christmas shopping and of course the Dexter season finale!! I'm obsessed with Dexter and this finale didn't disappoint me. I'm actually bummed I have to wait a WHOLE YEAR before it comes back because I have so many thoughts on what may happen!! Any of you guys watch it?? If so, what were your thoughts??

Friday night was Jaime's (Jay) birthday party. His birthday is actually this week but with Christmas, he decided to throw it early so he could get the chance to celebrate with friends who may be out of town this coming week. We went to a place called Busby's West in Santa Monica. I've lived in LA for about 5 years now, but I still don't know much about it. I'm always up for exploring my city or finding new locations to hang out at. This place was a Sport's Bar and Grill but when we got there they had a DJ who actually played great dance music. It was an interesting crowd of people though. They had a private party going. An Ugly Christmas Sweater party was in FULL EFFECT and it was people watching at it's FINEST!

**Denise (yellow top) is known for making this face. It's become quite the joke. So all of us girls decided to mimic. I say her face has been perfected so she won the "GRRRR" face pose for sure... but Ramela, Natalia and I didn't do so bad!**

I don't have all the pictures from the fashion show ready and available at work so I'll add them later! It was for an amazing Cause and I'm really glad I got to attend something so special. PICS TO COME!!

Wicked: The Musical

Hi Blog friends!

Things have been crazy hectic with the holidays coming up and my office shutting down for a week between Christmas and New Years so I'm finally posting the pictures from my fun night out on Tuesday!! I went to go see Wicked at The Pantages Theater with my friends Ramela and Jaime. I've seen it before... it came to LA a few years ago. So when I heard it was coming back, I KNEW I had to check it out again!! I wasn't disappointed at all! Whoever played the lead character of Elphaba, the "Wicked" witch, had some lungs on her! All of her songs were projected to the back row of The Pantages!

We got to the theater with only 10 minutes to spare before show time so we got to our seats as quickly as possible! The seats weren't too bad. Mezzanine Row C. But it was a packed house!

**Ramela and I during intermission**

**Ramela, Jaime and I. We are the LA version of the 3 Musketeers!**

After the show, we decided to head over to Dillion's Irish Pub, which is right next door to hang out for a bit.

We always laugh when we are together. We make up funny stories, we tell each other jokes, and we talk shit about people. Never a dull moment with us 3.

**Ramela said she felt like she had to act snobby because she was holding a phone with a hot pink case. It's my phone. So we all laughed a bit because I am the farthest person from snobby... I just like PINK!**

**And to top it off, I have pink glasses! So we had to do the glasses pose pic. And we both wanted to know what we would look like in each others glasses so we switched. Ramela is blind. But we both look amazing in each other's glasses as well as our own**

Tonight is Jaime's birthday party so I'll have more pictures to post this weekend sometime.
