7:48pm listening to Bullet of my valentine

Since classes ended i have been waking up at 12pm..this is not me, ive been waking up at 7 or 8am my whole life...just shows you how much energy school has sucked from me.

so i woke up at 12pm called my friend who has been though the toughest times at the moment and wanted to see if she needed anything, i know how it feels when no-one is on your side and the whole world is on you.

Walked my dog lily and went to eat at subways yummmy haha
then went to eat pinkberrys with my sister and talked for like an hour in there about how much of a crazy weather nyc is having..nothing new.

Go i DARE you.

ill answer them ASAP in a sercet location that will be told to you when you ask me a question.

go ahead, the world of words are yours for the taking.

somewhere in my room

hello,

so im going to try to blog a bit more since finials are almost over and i really need all my emotions on a blog...funny how it used to be a 'journal' or a 'diary' and now we blog, times have changed soo fast. Even though i still write letters and like to get mail from friends.

so this is my last week of class at FIT and so far my grades have been more than awsome...hope it stays that way *fingers crossed* haha

today was good if you also count the weather. Two fashion shows today one at 7pm and another one at 9pm, this is pretty much the stepping stone to a fashion designer at FIT because they get to show of all there work in a show. A lot of people don't know but it takes about 6months to arrange a great show and its only about 15 mins long. When i was lucky enough to go to a fashion show at fashion week it was only 15mins long and we put so much work into it, it was pretty much insane.

the fashion show had the most amazing theme heres some of the inspiration




the sad thing is that with all the studying i had, i was unable to attend. Some of my friends did go, get wait to see the photos!

This sunday was mothers day in the USA and i had my mom not doing anything, zip, nada
we made her [ my two sisters and i] cupcakes and strawberries dipped in chocolate. It was soo cute it was unreal!







doesn't look so good! haha

what did you do this sunday?

here is my 2secs of fame...

Tokio Hotel Episode26

hey everyone,

so lemme just address that ive been wake now for more than 18hrs or so...and ate twice...not good.

Today i woke up at five AM to catch the bus to head to 46th street to get my wrist band for the show at 6pm later that day. I know you may be a asking what show? well this has been a tokio hotel week for me, and  today was the day they were doing a meet and greet, so i said why not?  it doesn't hurt to meet an awsome band right?

I waited about one hour  and was sleeping while wake haha

just a side note its finials for me at FIT for this week and the next to i was super tired anyways.

the time was 8 oclock and i had about 45mins to run the the 42nd trian station and head to school [which started at 9:10am]

As i walked i remembered i had to pick up fabrics for my project, im designing a marc jacobs chair for class and its due next week. So i went to the fabric store moods [as seen on project runway] and got small samples. Then headed...like running and trying not to get hit by a taxi.

+ = project haha



A hour passed and i had to leave early because i was also attending a G. Armani presentation that he was giving at the school. I had to run to the restroom change clothes and put some makeup.

There was soo many camaras flashing and so many video teams that i couldnt believe i was there.

That took about two hours or so and i heard that mr. armani got stuck in the school elevator for 15mins...thought that was quite funny.


our school president








So after that crazy meeting i ran back downtown to TRL which meet some of my old friends it was quite fun haha

Then i went back uptown to get something to eat at mangolias and wake myself up at home.



Five oclock came and i was back downtown at virgin megastore. People were already lined up and waiting to see tokio hotel, but as i am me haha i went though the back enterence where the "celebs" come in and out. There i was bought to the stage where they were going to perform...no-one was there except the tokio hotel "team" and press.

They came out really late and everyone was ready to fight anyone haha

but then they came out and sang three songs: Monsoon, Ready Set Go, and Rescue Me

then the meet and greet which was awsome, i was the first one =D and they are so sweet, im quite happy i got to meet them, they dont come to the US as offen to that was pretty sweet to meet them while they were here.

after that a body guard walked me to the street level and i went home.




so that was my day today, im dead tired but i cant go to sleep..have many projects to attend and they aren't gonna do it themselves haha, i wish!

well thursday i have Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, cant wait!
