And so it begins...

I turned 21 last saturday! FINALLY!

On Friday Bryan took me out to Roy's in Newport Beach.
I tried to order a drink but they wouldn't let it slide since it wasn't technically my birthday yet :(
We watched The King's Speech (ummm kind of not as good as people claimed)
and at midnight tried to get into Yardhouse -- but they wouldn't let me either!!!!
Apparently you have to be 21 for 24 hours?? Ridiculous...
We eventually got into D&B's where I drank a delicious apple martini. Cheers!

Here are some camera phone pictures from that night...

 

 

On Saturday night all of the friendsies came over and we went to
the Edison hotel in downtown LA. Well... they got in hahahah.
Someone (not saying who) may have had one two many drinks and was not
allowed in the bar (hahaha yikes!!!). It was definitely a crazy night, to say the least.
My sissy Michelle ended up (unknowingly?? accidentally??) ordering bottle service while they
were at the club so you KNOW they had a great time!

 

Camera battery died :( Hence, camera phone pictures.

P.S. Aren't my friends GORGEOUS??!
P.P.S. I am somewhere exciting right now!
 I don't have time to update about it but I will very very soon :)

House of Mouse

Sorry, but new camera means my blog will now be bombarded with 

pictures of my mostly mundane yet occasionally exciting life. 

My last Disneyland trip until summer. Sighhhh.

Goodbye SB, Hello Freedom

So yesterday was my last day in Santa Barbara. 

I packed all of my belongings into a U-Haul, studied for my last final, owned my last final,

 and then stopped by the beach one last time before driving home. 

I have talked a lot about how I couldn't wait to leave Santa Barbara.

While this is true, I would be lying if I didn't tell you how much I love it there.

The thing I love most about Santa Barbara is its natural beauty.

The beach is breath taking. I will truly miss those drives from LA to SB (and vice versa). 

The view of the ocean at sunset is unbelievable and those nights when the moon

shone across the sea were near fatal (I could hardly keep my eyes on the road). 

I will miss the salty smell that lingered in the air late at night and early in the morning.

I will miss going to sleep to the sound of waves crashing on the shore,

which could be heard from pretty far away. 

But most of all I will miss the stars. I have never before seen a sky so full of stars.

WHATEVS. It's only two hours away, right?!

Anyway, I am home at last, and I could not be happier. Today I:

went to Sprinkles Cupcakes in Newport Beach. Dark Chocolate is my fave. 

watched an amazing movie with my baby sissy <3

(I am so in love with this man)

But he is taken. By Penelope Cruz. Still can't decide who I am more jealous of.

and painted my nails this amazing color. Love OPI!

First day of freedom has been incredible. Tomorrow I will get down to business.

This includes: calling potential employers, turning in my visa application,

and accomplishing a Day Zero Project goal. 

:)

happy happy happy

Disneyland is my favorite place in the world. I could just wander around there all day.

I don't even like going on rides while I am there -- I literally just stroll around (and eat),

soak up the happy rays exuding from all of the guests  (and eat),

and appreciate the beautiful atmosphere (and eat).

I also eat. 

Here are some shots from our day.

photopass pictures: I love the balloon one haha!

On the ferris wheel. Someone is afraid of heights... not gonna say who...

California Adventure. I am obsessed with this picture.

It is such good quality because I paid to download it from the PhotoPass site.

$15 bucks. Yikes.

Watching the World of Color show for the first time.

So magical!

I was so mad that I lost my iPod because all I wanted to do after the show was 

get in my car, blast my Disney Princess Collection CD, and sing it at the top of my lungs!

Heehee. Fun day ♥
