I want! I want! I'm getting an eyeshadow pallet! (The one with the pinks)

Omg, what a morning . . .

I had my behind the wheel driving test this morning. My dad told me the night before that he wasn't going to be able to with me to the DMV, because he to set up for some special event at the Hollywood Bowl. He told me that my stupid-idiot-asshole-moron brother was going to take me. So, this morning I got up and got ready for my 9am appointment. It was around 8:12am when I asked my stupid-idiot-asshole-moron brother to take me to the DMV. He didn't want to take me. I asked him, and asked. Then I went to my room and I just started crying and I called my dad. And he was PISSED. He said "I'll be there in 10 minutes. Wait for me outside." (NOTE: I cried because I was furious! I was more than furious! I don't know another word that means beyond furious. Whatever that word is, that's what I felt) So I went downstairs, and I waited. I text Soleil and I told her what was going on. I started crying again. Then my korean neighbor walked by and she said "Are you ok honey???" and I said "yes" I obviously lied. Ugh. 13 miutes later my dad showed up to the rescue. He said "I'm going upstairs. Wait here" I wish I could have gone upstairs to hear what he told my stupid-idiot-asshole-moron brother. When he came back downstairs, we left to the DMV. He was driving FAST. I mean FAST. He was telling on our way over there "This is not the way your suppose to drive, but I want to get you there on time" I said "ok" THEN he started talking about my stupid-idiot-asshole-moron brother. He called him "MIERDA" "HYPOCRITE" When he was saying all those things, it made me feel better cause he's starting to realize how his son REALLY is! He said "He's such a hypocrite! He didnt want to take you because he doesnt want you to get your license because he wants the car all to himself. But he's VERY mistaken!"

When we got the DMV there was a line. They hadn't open yet. We made line. There was this elderly lady in front of us. Once they opened, the black lady behind the counter said that our line had to straighter and blah blah blah. She pretty much talked to us like were little kids. The black lady called "NEXT!" and the elderly lady went next. Omg the black lady yelled at the elderly lady. She said "YOU NEED YOUR VEHICLE REGISTRATION TO TAKE THE TEST! GET OUT THE LINE! ... NEXT!" Omg, my dad told me "what a piece of trash!" He was right. There was NO need to yell at her like that. When she called next, it was my turn. She said "Do YOU have the papers?!" I said "Yes" Then she looked at all the papers and she said "Ok, put this on top of your dashboard and park in the drive way" So me and my dad go outside and I park the car where she told me. I was just sitting there waiting for the instructor to show up. THEN, the SAME black lady behind the desk gets in the CAR!!! OMG, I wouldn't fucking believe it! In my head all I said to myself was "Ok yeah, She's going to fail me" OMG, she raised my nervous level way the hell up there!

So I start driving and she kept looking at ME not the road but ME. That made me really nervous. THEN I had to drive through this neighborhood and a BUM with his target cart was in my way!!! He was standing in the middle of the street!!! OMG, I didn't know what to do. If the stupid black lady wasn't with me in the car, I would have gone around the bum. But I didn't do it, because she was probably going to FAIL me. So I waited until the bum got to the sidewalk. I drove to hollywood and vine, then we went back to DMV. She told me to park. Then she told me to turn off the car. THEN she said "when you drive you need to keep the vehicle centered, you need to pull into the intersection when making a left turn. So, in order to pass you're allowed 15 errors. You had 16 errors. You need to reschedule another appointment." OMG, I felt my heart drop to the floor. And that's it, she just got out of the car. OMG my dad walked inside the car and he hugged me. I almost cried (again). He told me that he was going to give me the car so I can take it to work tonight =( I REALLY almost cried hahaha. I came home and I made an appointment for this Monday coming up. I'M GOING TO PASS.

I cant believe I DIDN'T pass because I went over ONE error. Ugh.

How FRUSTRATING.

Thanks to everyone who text/called to wish me Good Luck! You guys are awesooooooome!"

Here are some of the texts! Some of them are funny, so I'll post them up! hahaha

"Good LUCK on your driving TEST!!!! You will pass and be driving to work later :)"

"Good luck today karla!! U got this shit in the bag. And im pretty sure i said today was the day, right?"

"OMG! Good fucking luck bitch!! I hope you pass so we can go PARTY!"

Thank GOD for work tonight. I need a distraction!

Solvang, CA

Today me, Sergio, Soleil, & Ali took a little road trip up to Solvang, CA. I've never heard of this place EVER until Ali mentioned it. This town is so small and cute! The locals are so NICE! The vibe and just the whole atmosphere itself felt different. There were a lot of tourists there, including us hahaha There were a lot of little boutiques and little dining restaurants. I think about 80% of the people there were ALL eating ice cream! =) Here are some pictures!

I didnt know THIS existed either!
We came across areas that were burned due to forest fires . . .
The nicer areas!

Population: 5,332!!! Yeah, believe it!

We finally arrived! =)

Oh yes, R-Patz was there! The lady offered us to take him home. She said she had an extra R-Patz in the back. TRUE STORY!

Mmmm!








Sergio made me take off my shades . . .

On our way back . . .

Sergio & Soleil playing connect 4

The BEAUTIFUL view! I swear, this was gorgeous!

88 miles to home!

81 miles to home!

This small little island in SB

More view =)

55 miles to home!

Before we went home, we made a pit stop at the camarillo outlets! and OMG they had a CCO (Cosmetic Company Outlet) I got my hopes way high. I thought it was going to be like the CCO in Nevada. But I was SO mistaken. They had a SMALL section of MAC products, SMALL. They only had 3 pigments to chose from. The selections were'nt that great. The one in Nevada had a WHOLE wall dedicated to MAC. I can't wait to go back this fall, I swear.

Anyway, I bought 5 things:

MAC Cream Color Base in "Bronze": $11.75 (Original Price: $16.50)
MAC Pigment in "Mega-Rich": $13.75 (Original Price: $19.50)
Estee Lauder Kabuki Brush: $13 (Original Price: $35)
MAC Sharpener: $2.50 (Original Price: $5)
MAC Paint in "Architecture": $11.75 (Original Price: $16.50)

YESTERDAY, I went to the Beverly Center with Soleil & Ali, and I bought hair accesorries! They're so cute. They're BOWS! I like the H&M ones better than the Forever 21.
Tmrw, is memorial day! I get to sleep in! I have A LOT of laundry to do though. In the afternoon I'm taking my parents to see EARTH before they complain that I never took them and blah blah blah. My dad is going to LOVE it! I dunno about my mom . . . She might fall asleep.

'Till next time!

My eyebrows need waxing, no joke.

Yesterday after work I went to MAC. I walked in and I noticed that they had the Style of Warrior Collection out. Me and Soleil had an appointment for next friday to purchase our things, but Soleil said that I should just buy it on the spot. So I purchased a couple things and I also canceled our appointment for next friday. I purchased 3 Lipglosses, a Lipstick, and a Nail Polish. Here they are! The packaging is AWESOME! I love it! =D

Left to Right: "Liberated", "Fierce & Fabulous", "Gold Rebel", "Brave New Bronze", and "Mercenary"

After MAC I went to Ali's house. We had a couple hours to kill until we had to meet up with Sergio & Soleil. While we were at her house, Ali was straightening her hair while I read the last book for Twilight. Soleil gave me the book yesterday! =) Those books are so addicting I swear!

We BARELY made it on time at the Arclight! We met up with Sergio and Soleil. We went to go watch the Terminator movie. It was pretty good! I liked it =) The part that surprised me was when "Arnold Schwarzenegger" came out! It wasnt the ACTUAL Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was like a digital copy of him? I dunno what it was, but it was a look a like of him.

IN OTHER NEWS

The annual sales are coming up! I'm SO excited! I get to stock up on lotions and LOTIONS and more LOTIONS! Yaaaaay! I'm going to skip out on the Victoria Secret this year. I have underwear to last me a REALLY long time!

Bath and Body Works: June 1st
Nordstrom: June 20

Hollywood Bowl Photoshoot

Yesterday after work Sergio, Soleil, Ali & myself, we went to Applebee's! I've never been there until yesterday. The food was good! We all had burgers hahaha and we spinach dip and mozzarella sticks as the appetizers. Those were GOOD! =)

After Applebee's we were on our way back to Hollywood, and we stopped by the Hollywood Bowl. Sergio and Ali have never been there, so we went. I showed them inside! While we were there, we took A LOT of pictures! hahaha It felt like out own little photoshoot with little sony cameras hahaha Here are SOME of the pictures!









Fierce!

Kids Say The Darnest Things

Today was the premiere for UP at work. There were SO many balloons! Geez! We had a meeting at 9am then we had an hour to kill until our shift started (11:30am) So, we went to go eat at Baja Fresh. We took pictures on our to Baja. It was so HOT outside! OMG, seriously.

Once they started letting in for the movie, the FIRST celebrity that we saw was TIA GUERRA. She showed up with her daughter and husband. Her daughter is SO cute! And TIA is sooooo NICE! She was really sweet! She said that Coke flavored icee was her favorite! hahaha After

This is me & Soleil!

OH! During the meeting I got a Perfect Attendance Certificate for 3 months. Yay?

This is the best stuff, ever.After work I went to the Glendale Galleria with my mom. I drove over there! I like driving. We went to go eat at this Italian place inside the mall. The food was ok. While we were eating, my mom asked me if I had a boyfriend. Yeah, I know. RANDOM. I laughed cause it was funny/random/weird. Then I said "Nope" Then she said "Uh huh . . . You have one don't you?! Tell me, it's ok" hahaha I said "Ok, I'll tell you when I get one" lol She didnt believe me. I was teliing the truth! Anyway. I only bought 2 things at the mall.

I massage thing, that I'm going to keep at my locker at work!

A body scrub. We walked in Bath and Body Works and this girl comes up to me and she says "Hello! Would you like to try our body scrub? They're buy 2 get one free!" I said "Sure" Then she took me to their special sink and she tells me "Ok, give me one hand" and she starts rubbing the scrub on my hand. While she's rubbing/massaging my hand, she's explaining to me what the scrub is made of and what it does and blah blah blah. And after she rinsed it off, my hand was so SOFT! Omg, I loved it! And it smelled really good too! So I bought it. She's a good seller. After I told her that Yes, I'll buy it, she came back and massaged my hand with lotion. I like massages.

OH! So I went to go use the restroom inside Macys and I go in into the stal and this lady and her daughter are in the next stal. So I'm there peeing, and the little girl asks her mom outof nowhere "Quien se toma el pipi?" (Who drinks the pee?) hahaha I laughed out loud and the mom heard me, so she started laughing too. The mom told the girl "Ay! Aileen! Nadie se toma el pipi!" (Nobod drinks pee!) hahaha it was funny lol


Work again tmrw . . .

Girls Are From Venus Guys Are From Mars

I just got back from work. Work was crazy today, I swear. The first show was SOLD OUT. They were ALL little kids from different schools that showed up. I was lead at the orchestra level. I had pre orders of 95 healthy kids packs, 122 classic kid packs, and 93 kid meals for the FIRST show! I just wanted that first show to be OVER. But, oh! The second show was worse! The second show was only a group of 262 kids. But OMG these kids were BAD. They ALL bought stuff. NOTE: I only had 3 ppl with me behind the snack bar. All I kept hearing was "EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME! HOW MUCH IS THIS! HOW MUCH IS THAT! EXCUSE ME! EXCUSE ME!" OMG! I wanted to shoot THEM! Geez! It's like Hello! Your in line this whole time! Why dont you take a fucking second to look at the menu and decide what your dumbass is going to get! (these kids were in middle/high school, just in case you were wondering) Ugh, I was so frustrated. Seriously. And one of the guys in the snack bar was telling me "Smile!" I said "NO! Not until all these stupid kids LEAVE!"

OMG, DURING the movie they kept leaving their seats! They were going to the "restroom" YEAH RIGHT! they kept coming back to the snack bar! First of all they didnt have a lot of money. They came to me with $1-$2 and asked me "What can I buy with this?" I said "CHEESE" and they would walk away. THEN more of them came out! It was just never ending.

After they left, the guy behind the snack bar told me "ok, they left now! So Smile!" hahaha I smiled. lol I dont want to say his name cause I have a story about him that I'm going to tell later, and I dont want to get him in trouble. (Just in case someone reads this and tells on him) I'm going to name him . . . . Jacob! (Because I just finished reading NEW MOON last night, and I like Jacob's name)

So for the 3rd show it was pretty slow. Me and "Jacob" were just standing there and this really pretty girl comes to the concession stand and he says "HI! How can I help you ma'am?" while he's hitting me with his elbow. She ordered nachos and "Jacob" tells me "omg! She's HOT!" hahaha and I just started laughing. While she was ordering he kept looking at her boobs while SHE looked at the menu! hahaha and after she paid and left. I said "Shame on you! You have a GF!" and another co-worker heard me and he came to the snack bar as well, were going to name him "Charlie." I told "Jacob" "why do you guys do that!? You guys are NOT single" then "Charlie"said "Think of it this way, when we go to a bar we're not hungry. But when we see the nuts/popcorn on the counter, we get a little even though we're not hungry" I said "WOW, you guys are BAD! Why would you eat nuts/popcorn when you have FOOD at home?!" hahaha they just laughed, they didnt answer me. Then a guest walked up and the conversation was OVER. Then I thought "hmm, he just compared girls to nuts/popcorn" hahaha yeah . . . guys are just WRONG! and EVIL! EVIL! Girls are EVIL too, I'm not going to lie. Everyone is just EVIL. Sucks.

Anyway . . .

During break I went to forever 21 to return a shirt. After forever 21 I went to MAC. I bought a 15 eyeshadow pallet for Soleil. She bought me a book, so I got her MAC. I walked in and they all greeted me like and old friend! I love it. They're so nice, I swear. SO, I walked in and the manager of MAC (I dunno his name, YET) tells me "Your makeup looks fabulous!" I dunno if he was just saying that, or if he really did mean it. I feel weird getting makeup compliments from MA's at MAC because THEY'RE the pro's not ME. You know? I dunno, its funny. Anyway, I said "THANKS!, Um, Can I get the 15 eyeshadow pallet please?" He said "sure!" He goes to the back and this other MA comes up to me and says "Hello honey! how are you?!" (he remembers me cause he did my foundation when I bought the sculpt one. Which later broke me out) I said "I'm good! How are you?" He said "Great! What's going on across the street?" I said "OH! Its the premiere for UP tmrw" He said "Whats that?" by that time the manager had came back from getting the pallet and he said "Its the one with the balloons and the old man" and the other MA was like "Ohhhhh! OK!" Then he had to go cause he was doing a tourist makeup. Before I was about to pay, he said "I want you and your friend to come to our event!' I said "Oh! OH! the one with the leopard print packaging!" He said "YES!" and I said "OK! We'll come!" (Thats what she said) and he wrote our names down and he gave me a card with the appointment on it. I said "THANK YOU!" and as I was leaving I said "See you the 29th!" Then he said "oh no, thats too far away you should come sooner!" hahaha and I left.

They're so nice. I'm going to bring them souvenirs from NEW YORK I swear.

My mom just called and asked if I wanted to go to TARGET with her. I said "Sorry, No. I'm too tired" =( She was shocked that I said NO to target. Sorry target.

I don't have any pictures to post up with this blog. Sorry.

OH! wait yes I do!

Yesterday I went to go see "Little Ashes" with Sergio, Soleil, and another co worker! The movie was so CUTE and sad =( One of my favorite parts was when R-Patz (Salvador Dali) asked Javier (Frederico Garcia Lorca) "What should I wear?" and Frederico said "You should wear the purple one" and Salvador said "But I dont like the purple one" Then Frederico said "Then the grey one" Then Salvador said "I like the grey one!" hahaha that was so CUTE!

Mother's Day

Today was Grrrreat! I spent the whole day with my mom and brother. We went to church in the morning. A girl from church is getting married in the summer, and she asked me if I can go to her house to try on some makeup on her for her wedding! I said YES! I'll do it! So, one of these days, I'm going to go to her house and play make up! =D

After the service was over they had carne asada for everyone. My brother had TWO plates of food and my mom was STUFFED. My mom asked my brother to drive because she was in a food coma. While my brother was driving he asked me to drive because HE was in a food coma too! I said OK! So I drove ALL day today! =D


This is my mom throwing up cause she was so full hahaha! I had to take a picture.
This is my brother sleeping in the backseat, after his food coma.After church I drove to my grandmas house. From my grandma's house I drove to my house to pick up some tickets. My mom had free movie tickets for any AMC theater. I called Sergio to ask him if he knew of any AMC theater. He said the only one that he knew was the one in Burbank. So he was my mapquest for today. He gave me directions on how to get there =) I got there fine. I didnt get lost! Yay!


We were making line to get our tickets, and when we get to the window I give the lady our 3 coupon stub and she says "Oh, you cant see X Men with these because this movie just came out. You can use these stubs for any of the other movies" OMG all I thought was "I drove all the way to burbank for NOTHING" We ended up BUYING our tix for X Men. The movie was good, I liked it. Except for the stupid girl inside the theater who kept yelling.

After burbank I drove to in-n-out in hollywood. We went in the drive thru (that was my first time DRIVING through a drive thru!) and this guy that used to work at el cap, now works at that in n out. So I pull up to the window and he's there. He says "Hi! How are you?! Long time no see!" I said "yeah! how's work doing?" he said "its really good! You're looking nice tonight!" (NOTE: my mom is in the passenger seat) I said "thanks! Bye! See you later!" and I drive away. And my MOM says "who the hell is that?! Why is he telling you that you look nice?! WHO IS THAT!" I said "calm down! he used to work at the theater! geez!" and she looked at me with that face like "Uh huh . . . " hahaha my mom is funny.

Anyway, after in n out I drove to the bank and FINALLY I drove home! When we got home my mom said "So, are you tired of driving?" I said "NO! Its fun! I dont know why people complain that they hate driving!" then my brother said "I give you a month! After a month you're going to be tired of driving!" 3 seconds later Sergio called and I told him what my mom and brother said and he AGREED he said that I'm going to get tired of driving later. They might be right. lol.

You could do #9 here! They're clean here!

Today was so much FUN! After work me, Sergio, & Soleil went to Burbank to do a little shopping! Our first spot was FRYES ELECTRONICS. That was my first time there. It was so cool! It's like home depot and best buy had a baby together, Fryes would be their child! Anyway, we took a couple pictures inside! They had like an alien theme going on inside. Here are some pictures!

This is an alien coming out from the wall . . .

This us in our cars!
