Another year where I don’t dress up and don’t go out. I actually had the opportunity to, I just didn’t feel like going at it alone. Any who, one of my most favorite quotes

You have a lot of freeways and thank God for the invention of GPS. I love your 65MPH speed limit which allowed me to fly on the freeway at 80+MPH. I got to say LA, even with that high speed limit, your traffic hurts my feelings. Why does Melrose shops close at 7pm? That really made me sad ESPECIALLY since you have bad traffic. You don’t understand how hurt I was to pass by Kidrobot LA and it was closed. Because of traffic, I missed the shops by 17 minutes 17 minutes!! I also missed the Crooks & Castles boutique, Go APE!, and other wonderful shops I’m sure. A day wasn’t enough with you LA. I will be back and shop at Melrose and all these other wonderful shops.

Ok guys I really wished I stayed there longer. I really didn’t like going alone because it takes out all the fun of shopping and the experiences. For my first time for LA, it was pretty decent. My conference was an eye-opener and I got to see the home office. I also got to meet some awesome colleagues of mine. Besides all the massive stares and questions about Hawaii, the trip was a success. I’ve been working too hard and was glad to even get away (even though it was still for work). I need a vacation!

In a few days I have my very first business trip for my company and it’s going to be in Los Angeles, California! I’ve never been there before and I’m very excited. I’m only there for one day but I’m going to make the best of it. I fly out on Tuesday arrive in LAX at 9PM, conference on Wednesday and fly out the next morning. All expenses paid for and I’m just really excited.

I haven’t had a vacation in over a year and a half and even though this is purely business, I’m still glad to get away. I’m getting away from all the stuff that’s going on with me (personal life, not business).

I’m going to make the best of it. If I have a roommate I hope this person knows her way around CA and can take me shopping! I scored $500 buckeroos!

Halloween is in 8 days too. I need to help my roommate with her outfit and I don’t even know what I want to be. Any ideas?

I have to admit, this is one of my biggest dislikes. I don’t understand why people can’t just ask questions instead of assuming. It causes unnecessary drama and time.

I’ve been going through a lot of shit these past couple of weeks, emotionally and physically. Including when it’s emotional, these are my three steps (and I’ve been realizing this lately):

Ok, “depressed”, is a strong word. More like I feel sad and ask myself many questions to how the situation happened and I start blaming myself.

During my “depressed” step I tend to over analyze and get to a point where I’m upset at the person or situation. Usually when I’m going through the first step I start to beat myself up and then rise from the ashes and start targeting that person in my mind. During this time they usually become my worst enemy.

After the first two steps I get to a point where I just say “fuck it.” And not care. Word to the wise, you never want me to get to this step because my mind is stronger than my heart and feelings. Once I make my mind up, it’s already been made up. You’d probably never get on my good graces again. At this moment you lose my trust, integrity, and friendship.

With all of the things going on with me emotionally, I’m at that second stage. I’m upset and confused. I feel helpless and ignored. Knowing her, she’ll probably do the same thing I did. “Two wrongs, don’t make it right.” I’m the wrong person to pull this on. Enough said.

I mosdef have a problem with shopping. But I love everything that I bought. That’s all that matters, right? I have to think about the holidays thats coming around the corner. I’ve been so busy that I really have no time to myself. I just want one day where I can be a complete slug and do nothing all day.

A couple of weeks ago the very first Victoria’s Secret had opened in Hawaii. It is incredibly huge. The biggest I’ve ever seen in my life. Since I’ve never owned any bra’s from VS I thought I’d try one. I’ve been using Frederick’s of Hollywood’s bras for most of my life (mainly because that’s the only lingerie store we’ve ever had) and still find that Frederick’s is still a little bit better. The fabric for VS is better, but the lift for FH is better. I’m going to try other bra’s from VS and see which one is the best. I’ll blog about my great find later

It’s been a long time since I posted a picture. I have a lot of things going on right now. Working my full-time job, working on my portfolio for a CEO, and running my own little dunny biz. Lol. Yep I said it

In this picture: Air Jordan Retro 1′s.

Old habits definitely die hard. I claimed myself as a retired dunny & sneaker head but I was just suppressing all the feelings for what I really love. Since I’m finally admitting stuff, I’m going to just say it: I have a shopping problem. I’ve been buying clothes, shoes, dunnys, jewelry for the past few weeks. I’m supposed to be saving money. Tomorrow is the first of October and I need to get a head start on Christmas shopping. When October hits it’s 2 and a half months until Christmas.

Besides all this shopping. I have a HUGE opportunity to show my portfolio for a new company who is doing ridiculously well. I need to start working on it since my old computer crashed and I lost everything. Wish me luck guys. I certainly need it
