You can't carry it with you if you want to survive

Best of 2010

Photobucket

Picking 10 of my favorite outfits this year, was just too hard. But I eventually narrowed it down based on the ones my readers and I both loved.
2010 was such an amazing year for me. I got everything I had ever wanted in my 24 years of life, all in one year. I told myself in January that it would be my main goal and I feel so accomplished knowing that I made it happen. 2011 will be the year of reclaiming my passion and creativity. I missed performing way too much this year, but I know that whatever I put my mind to, I'll do. So, I just have to work hard, think positively, and hope for the best. That's really all I can ask for. But I have the strongest faith that everything will fall into place very soon. I hope you all had a wonderful year, stay strong, and let's hope that next year is filled with lots of love, happiness and style ;)

My Christmas was absolutely magical. On Christmas Eve, I had to work in the morning-but when I got home, I was in full clean house and cooking mode. I was so excited to have my family over our house this year for Noche Buena. We got to eat, drink and open presents! And I was completely satisfied with everything I got. Funny but kinda awful story...I made a wishlist for Geo a few weeks ago which had this amazing Modcloth military coat included in it. He ended up ordering it for me, and when it arrived-he pulled it out of the box, and the thing looked like it was stitched together by a 5 year old. No joke, it looked more like $6 than the amount Geo paid for it. Needless to say, both of us were very upset and I was extremely disappointed since I had heard such great things about Modcloth. Now, I can't say this is my last time ordering from them, because I've seen so many other bloggers in their stuff-but I will definitely be more wary of what I get from now on.
So apart from that tiny glitch in my evening, the food was amazing, and the drinks and company were superb. Christmas Day was spent with Geo's side of the family at the Smokehouse in Burbank. I had never been, and they're apparently known for their amazing prime rib. I have to admit though, that the garlic bread was much more appealing than my main course. I hope you and your loved ones had a very Merry Christmas. Now, we have to wait another 365 days for the next one.*Sigh*

Gift exchanges with my best friend are always special. But this year, we decided to have a tea party. Little did I know how all out she would go, and I was extremely floored when I was welcomed with her Alice in Wonderland themed table set up. The tea, the pastries, the cucumber sandies-were all exceptional. Our gift exchange went successfully as well...I mean, she knew EXACTLY what I wanted and vice versa. It's a pretty great feeling, and she's a pretty amazing Best. Love you, Kate!

4 more days!

Date night tonight consisted of playing in Sherman Oaks. First up, dinner at The Stand-one of my favorite burger joints. But not only do they have amazing burgers, they also have hot dogs, sandwiches, salads, etc...has the retro feel without looking chinsy. Tonight I got the mushroom burger with sweet potato fries. It was heaven in my mouth-especially their chipotle special sauce. I don't know what they put in that thing, but it is damn good. Another treat for the night, was getting to see Black Swan over at the Arclight. This movie has been on my most anticipated list since probably March. I love Natalie Portman to death-I think she is one of the best actresses of our generation. And this film did not disappoint me AT ALL. It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time-acting, choreography, music-all brilliant. It's definitely one of those films, where after it's over, it'll leave you sitting there in shock and awe. Geo didn't quite share my enthusiasm with the film-but that was to be expected ;p. 
Tonight was amazing. 
8 Days till Christmas!

My sister's home for her winter break, yay! To celebrate I met up with the fam bam for a lovely afternoon in Burbank. We caught up on some Christmas shopping, and brunched at Market City Cafe (one of my faves). Family time is always nice, especially being with my sister. I don't think I laughed so hard in months. She's quite a character, you see. ;)
14 more days til Christmas! xoxo

I wanna hold your hand

No, but really I do. I know it's a little late but this whole Beatles on iTunes thing? Really stoked. And yes, I used the word stoked to describe my feelings on the matter. Need proof?
Haha! No, actually this is a result of my mom (who is an even crazier Beatles fan than I am) forcing me to pretend I was "in the band!" LOL. She's a nut but I love her.

Last night, a few of my PCC girls were reunited at Josie's holiday party. It was my first time at her new place, and it looked absolutely beautiful. It had a very retro feel, and had quite the "old hollywood" charm. Needless to say, the evening was lovely-and it was amazing seeing some of my old friends again.

Catch my disease

So, I have this obsession with leopard...

Went to my alma mater last night to see my friend Dana perform in Arabian Nights. It was such a visually stimulating show. And she, as always, was magnificent in it. I got really sentimental walking down the hallways of Nordhoff hall. I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I graduated, and that every time I'm there, the fewer people I know. Both Dana and Siera will be graduating in the spring. So I don't see me coming back to CSUN a lot anymore, unless it's to visit Garry Lennon (my mentor, and who directed me in 2 musicals). Although, with the new theatre building opening up, it might give us an excuse to drop by from time to time.

Sorry the pictures of my outfit are kinda bleh. George thought it best to snap pictures of me in motion, whilst waiting anxiously for Dana. Me, not so much. So I promise I will get a better picture of my new leopard babies soon. They're not the most comfortable, but they're lovely and any excuse to bring leopard into my life-well, it was sort of a "gotta have" moment.

HAPPY DECEMBER! xoxo
