Oh no, you never let me down

Haha today I am a busy bee! Billion and one things on the agenda. Seems like every day I get closer to feeling like Diddy – that can’t stop won’t stop mentality.
FIRST. I landed the biggest contract I have done in a whileeee! I will be doing a wedding gown for this New Englandite from Martha’s Vineyard. Kind of scared because it took 23 sketches until I began to get on her level of understanding to know exactly what she wanted. Wish me the best! Later have to go shopping for the fabric.. Hopefully no bridezilla on my hands here.
SECOND. The site. I been neglecting it darlings but I’m back on my grizzy. As this is being typed also doing double duty and scanning more than an intern on Wall Street haha. My goal of 100 scans may be up tonight or tomorrow. Honestly might be more because I forgot how many more magazines were in the stack of mine. By the way, they will not only be text like some other websites have, basically anything visually appealing from magazines in my collection will be up.
And lately been into lots of old school influxed merengue and salsa tunes. Anyone have suggestions for songs I should download? Thanks! So if you don’t know.. Know you know. :]
Dueces to OH-9! It’s been fun..

Hey everyone! Yesterday I FINALLY graduated. Felt like foreverrrr! But it happened and I am feeling great right about now. I was going to blog via email and do it on my phone right after I recieved my diploma at BC’s Conte Forum, but my cell phone service was wack! Plus I couldn’t put up pictures yet. Shoot this blog shouldn’t be treated like a twitter now.. lol
Got my diploma, all in Latin mind you! Thought I was done with the language after four years from seventh to tenth grade. :[ Guess not. They tricked me! Later because of boredom at my house with 10 million family members over I translated the whole diploma. Yes, my Latin skills are not rusty. Came in handy for something besides the SATs!
The actual day was a venture within itself. Soo first of all. My friend, Junior, allowed to me to borrow his new car for the day – a beautiful Acura TL 3.2! It was his gift to me as he had someone deliver the keys to me Saturday night and he would be gone for my graduation. Now, my Dad was going to give me a ride but with a car I would honestly drive myself there. Like parents are just NOT reliable at least mine aren’t. They say ten minutes and it is forty. So last minute at 11:08am my Dad insists on driving me to graduation despite us having to be there at 12 and he drives hella slow. So we get in the car when OH! He remembers we should probably pick up my Mom’s car from the mechanic. Convenient right? My mom comes with us as we go drop her off and just to get there takes forty minutes! We get there at 11:53am and I am supposed to be at graduation at 12!!! I was crying and worried like a mother on the inside.
12:28pm and I arrive where graduation will take place. Some random lady asks my friend, Sasha and I to take a pic together because we were already in our gowns. Thankfully the guidance counselors did not go checking for people absent and such until a little later. 1:03pm we begin to file out and it’s whatever. Just have to follow the asian girl in front of me to my seat because it wasn’t like I was at the end of an aisle.
Lalala sitting down. The audio is HORRIBLE! Whip out my phone and begin texting away to Sasha who’s near the front, my sister Lizi to check if my family arrived on time, my friend Yarissa to check how her flight went and my friend Jennifer to check if she had arrived yet. So to my classmates, if you see me in pics with my head down I am looking at my phone! Just an FYI.
Then Sasha texted me. She said “Have to put the phone away.. Diploma time!” It was whatever so I put mine away too though she was at C and my last name is with J. Then the row in front of my cleared out. My stomach dropped. All that was going through my head was the same as if I was in line for the tallest roller coaster in my life and I was finally next in line. “Holy crap. What have I gotten myself into? God. Someone help me. How did I end up here?” Then we stood up and walked towards the stage. Next came the “Ohmygosh. I am right there. We are near the peak. It’s almost here. Time to look forward, sway left to right to stage with my head held high.” I was next to recieve my diploma. I almost froze. ”This is it. It’s here. I am here.” I quickly rushes to get through the freaking handshakes that I forgot about the accept with left, shake with right. Oh well, worked in my favor.
Beach balls were bouncing everywhere. Cameras snapping every which way. I missed The Wave…twice. Sorry was fixing my hair! It became a frizzy mess! So everyone there recieved their diplomas except the last person. We all knew his name so we stood up. We were at the last of the alphabet. His name was called and everyone whooped and hollered! This is it. For all of us. We are near done. The headmaster did the final address and caps went flying every which way. That is it. We are done.
My guilty pleasure <3

So months ago I remember watching a Joe Buddens behind the scenes video on WorldStarHipHop.com.. and well it was pretty flippin’ entertaining to say the least. Then I came across it again and heard them say joebuddentv so I decided to google it in the hope of finding all of his random videos. DUDE! Y’all needa get on this him and his group of friends and girlfriend are a riottttt! lmfao
Watch Irv Gotti spazz out because of some shiesty moves.. in Monolopy lmfao

I am trying to get everything on the site situated! YES, I went through with my conversion to WordPress because I couldn’t take it anymore. CuteNews was killing me softly. There are still new comments being posted daily on old posts that have been taken down with the link taken down and all. Grr, that was a good run but WP is much easier and less complicated in my opinion since I tried using it three months back. Please just give it some time while I convert everything into WordPress… mmkay? Get it? Got it? Good.
