The real challenge is not to survive. Hell, anyone can do that. It’s to survive as yourself, undiminished.

After a long day of being a Senior Portrait Model, we all went to Nonna’s for some Empanadas. They were amazing & the perfect way to end the day!

Check out how my Senior Portrait turned out!

Today I went to Vence with JQ, my internship supervisor & co-intern, Mia. JQ took our Senior Portraits & it was the most fun! Thanks JQ!

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Jane’s Golden Birthday & Hunger Games at Midnight

For Jane’s birthday we blind folded that betch & tricked her into thinking we were taking her to a strip club. In reality, we took her to dinner at Thailand Plaza for some live entertainment, karaoke & dancing. We ended the night into the next morning by seeing the midnight showing of The Hunger Games. 

Trust means you’re ready to risk what you currently have.

Last day of my PR internship. I am going to miss the walks to the building & the view of the Hollywood sign for the distance.

Took a break from the internship for some fresh air. That’s my supervisor on the tight rope! Isn’t she great?!

Someone sprayed LA on my bench.

On the ride home, I saw a new movie poster on Highland.. TITANIC EEPPP!!!! :)

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them.

Side note: Chris from the tv show Whitney was in the cafe. Looks the same as he did on the screen.

Lulu’s Cafe had no idea who they let enter their. Spread out inside the tiny cafe, Jane, Yareli & I had a Facebook photo post battle. Started by Jane & ended by Jane, the battles lasted a nice 20 minutes of giggling, chuckling & snorting. (Snorting was all me.) The other cafe customers were very confused.. & probably out Facebook friends so we apologized.. via Facebook. 

Photos above are all of the images that blew up on my wall. Oh what a wasteful fun Sunday.

Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.
