Birthday pt 2

saturday night me and my amigos and amigas went to Chile's... we intended to just have dinner and a few drinks then head over to the bar round the way... but i guess we got comfortable and just shacked up in Chile's being probably as obnoxious as possible until after midnight (mind you they closed at 11 lolz) the only decent photo i have of my outfit was taken at home sans ALL my accessories because i just wanted to see if the shoes matched the dress (as many of you may kno i was struggling with this via twitter earlier in the day lolz) i'ma throw in a few other photos of me and some of my favorite ppl... man i need to get better at taking way more photos at events... and posing better ::sigh::

[dress - faith 21 ($25) shoes - forever 21 ($11 on sale) i tend to over analyze things and i just kept thinking these were way too awkward together but i reaaally wanted to wear the shoes and i had no other dress to go w/them just jeans and tops... and i have a thing about wearing a dress on my b-day lolz i think it turned out okay though with my added gun/raw metal accessories... oh and i am so in love with these shoes! i've never walked so much in a pair of heels in my life!! i need to like fashion all of my future heel purchases after these as far as height/platform/coverage goes because they were just heavenly! with no valet! lmao so awesome!]

[with my BFFFFFFFFFF and my SOUL cousin <3<3]

[we go our separate ways but we eventually always reconnect <3 est. 1996 heh i just realized we're like a ghetto neapolitan ice cream... brown, yellow, & black lmao]

even though my Bae was unable to make it because of work and wack ass temecula lolz... i still had a wonderful time with some of my most favorite people :D good food, good friends, good laughs... GOOD LIFE! thank you God!

<3

p.s.

did i mention my friends are fucking awesome? lolz

weekend outfit, fun, photos, and even a club review

this was my fun weekend :)

Friday

Mingle and Plei with my old friend Fatima and her girlfriend Mariela and their friend Willy. Also met up with Nikstar (from xoxo Nikstar) and she is just as delightful in person as she is in her blog! hopefully we'll be able to hang out again in the future :) enjoyed board games, drinks, a little dancing, and a lotta laughs this night! ;D

[this was my intended outfit for the night... but that belt was just doing nothing for me but reading SANTA HO HO HO MERRY CHRISTMAS when paired with the new red dress (from Faith 21, sorry not available online) and plus something was telling me to go with flats, so i decided to work it differently ;)]

[random giant dog unleashed outside of random liquor store in LA, man i love Cali]

[me tryina be a model ;P]

[ended the night the best way possible! with tacos from a 24hr joint! wut u kno about my rabanos lolz mmmmmm ;)]

Friday's outfit consisted of:

- red empire waist cap sleeve cotton dress (Faith 21, around $20) i loooove the way this dress fits on me! i know u can't tell really but it has such great darts and pleating in ALL the right places (must remember to take photo of the back! must!) and it flares out just enough from the thick empire waist band

- brown woven zipper belt - random store in Cerritos mall

- black opaque tights, i thought these really weren't gonna work with the red and brown combo of my outfit but i think it fits in pretty well :)

- brown faux suede over the knee boots - Ross, these have really cute buckle and lace details on the back and can be worn folded or unfolded

- gold delicate dangly hoop earrings (old), gold heart and fortune cookie necklace (old), California 2 finger ring (Forever 21), faceted bronze/gold bangle (old), glass ring with gold flecks (old) decided to show a nice picture showing the details of that ring cuz i reaaaally love it :)

Mingle and Plei (in Los Angeles) review

I first heard of this place from Nikstar's boyfriend Ryan (check out his super funny comic/blog The Adventures of Coochie, Piggy, and the Chickenhead, how can u NOT check it out with that title?! lolz) who works there. You can check out more details on what Mingle and Plei is all about here. It's basically a night club that ISN'T a typical night club... there's drinks and music and a dance floor... but there's also jenga, monopoly, dominoes, guess who, scrabble, battleship, and loads of other nostalgia type games for everyone to enjoy freely (as long as tables and boards permit) and also hula hoop and musical chair competitions! It's the freshest concept i've ever seen in the late night adult entertainment department and really worth checking out if youre in the LA area or willing to drive out here. There's definitely a large turnout of people all night and a good mix of hip-hop/reggae/r&b music pumpin. I have pretty much only one gripe about this place and that is that they should really try and find a bigger venue. From what I know they've been around for a while and they've really grown in popularity, because of this the place was pretty much jam packed ALL night! I really think they should consider finding a place with a larger dance floor and just straight up more space. Aside from this though, everything was pretty enjoyable :).

Saturday

i got invited to a bonfire at Bolsa Chica beach by Fatima, Mariela, and their friends. Ended up meeting a couple of super nice and funny gals :), scraping up my thighs on gravel that was supposedly sand :(, charring some hot dogs, drinking, listening to some great guitar playing, and shooting the shit til the wee hours of the night. lovely :)

[don't mind my unhappy looking face lolz it got pretty cold when we were outta the water and our bonfire was pretty much a FAIL ;x aaand this is the only pic i took of myself all day]

i know i really should have took photos of my swimwear, not that its anything new, but just so u guys kno wut i wear when i take a dip, cuz i love seeing wut u other chiquitas rock for the sun and sand! 

hope everyone had a blast this weekend too!

theres a plastic in my posse

women love their girls... they love having that group of women, whether small or big, friends or family... that they shop with, gossip with, have fun days with, lunch with, dinner with, club with, drink with, shoot the shit with, whatever! some women even have different groups for different purposes, like myself... i have different women in my life for different purposes... ones to talk deep meaningful things with, ones to talk random seinfeld-like things (or non-things lolz) with, ones to do shallow mindless girl things with, etc... but amongst these many women we keep in our lives for the many different reasons... sometimes there is one who seems to only be around to rain on your parade, to throw salt at you, and to completely disregard and knock down the good things that occur in your life... why they are even in your circle still, not to mention to begin with, is a hard question to answer.

obviously this situation applies to any combination of men and their close friends, women who keep close men friends for said purposes, and men who keep close women friends as well (even though i believe this issue plagues more women than it does men)

i myself am currently faced with this predicament... there is someone in my inner circle of men and women who has repeatedly thrown his/her grainy, bitter, and down right hateful salt on my sweet life... i'm not here to judge at all whether his/her life is something that they have reason to be bitter for... that's not the issue... the issue is that he/she cannot manage to ever stop being selfish, to the point that he/she can never find themselves able to be happy for me in my most happy moments... all they can manage to do is find some sort of hateful thing to say... or some sort of selfish comment/issue/bull shit predicament... that steers us back to his/her own life... this person even makes snide and extremely mean remarks as if we were back in high school or something!... but in a way as to sound like he/she is being friendly or its all in good fun... BULL SHIT.

sometimes i question whether it is just me being too sensitive because i honestly have never had groups of friends that act like this (like the Plastics from Mean Girls) i don't know what its like to keep friends/people around who its constantly a battle to be around because all they spend their time doing is trying to one-up everyone around them... i have to have better clothes/girlfriend or boyfriend/life/this/that/everything!... all they do is yap out of their butts about how "oh wow you got that... that's nice, but you know my blah blah blah was way more expensive and better quality, but yours is nice too, i guess." and i have NEVER been, or ever will be dragged down to become, a person like that... who gets their happiness from belittling everyone around them... so i never retaliate with this person, i don't hurt their feelings back and play these little children mind games... i personally always thought it was a sign of low self esteem, which i figure is the case for this person because they throw excessive amounts of salt when i happen to fit nicer, or fit AT ALL, into something that they wanted. that's not my fault. don't take that shit out on me. seriously. ugh.

like really? how do i even deal with that? and am i even supposed to?! 

i just don't know... this person just feels so poisonous in my life... ive contemplated just letting the relationship taper off... but its harder than it seems in this specific case.

it would be nice if this person would just realize that they're acting like a 16 year old piece of shit and its time to grow the fuck up already... lolz but knowing this person, i doubt that'll happen.

poo sticks!
