Boring adult-ish updates.

Hello there!

It's been nearly two months since my last post, which was New York, and since then... well same shit different day really...

I feel like I have to go through my Instagram to see what I've been up to and according to the good ol gram, The 1975's album "I Like It When You Sleep For You Are Beautiful Yet So Unaware of It" was released (AMAZING OF COURSE), I drank lots of coffee (& still drinking lots of coffee), I went to Disneyland, I saw Justin Bieber at the Staples Center, I went to the Bernie Sanders rally here in LA at the Wiltern, I've gone to the beach a couple times, bought my cap and gown for graduation (!!!), went to the Staples Center the day of Kobe's last game (heart hurts), didn't go to Coachella, my school work load has been complete shit, I saw the 1975 at the Shrine Expo Hall, and lots and lots of running and "eating healthy."

I actually started a 12 week program also known as BBG, Bikini Body Guide, by Kayla Itsines and I'm currently on week 7! SO FAR SO GOOD. I'm seeing results and I've been feeling great and productive. My workouts are scheduled and I'm more cautious about what I eat, which I know is annoying when I go out, but I can't help it. It is now a part of me. There's just a little over 4 weeks left until I complete round 1 and hopefully I see better results. I'm trying to look and feel great before I fly off to S. Korea, Japan, and the Philippines this summer and I definitely plan to continue using this program once I get back.

IN OTHER NEWS:
I can not believe in just a little over a month I will finally be GRADUATING. I mean, it took me 5 years, but that's average and I could care less, as long as I am DONE (for now, there's always room for more education). Is it sad that I still don't know what I want to do? I think it kinda is, but I actually don't mind because I'm enjoying my time at StyleHaul. I've been given more responsibilities and I'm definitely super comfortable in the office. People are chill and the vibes are cool so hopefully after graduation they've got a spot for me because that would be COOL, VERY COOL. I'm honestly so scared about life after school! I'M GOING TO BE AN OFFICIAL ADULT (not age wise, obvi) AND I'M GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE ADULT DECISIONS AND DO THIS THING CALLED "SAVE MONEY." OH GOD. I'm not mentally and emotionally prepared. However, this burden must be done if I want to fly out of the nest and do some HGTV magic to my own crib because that is my current goal. To fly away like a little birdie. I mean, it's about time... Lucia needs to learn how to be independent and not always have to rely on others when an itty bitty road bump occurs. It'll definitely be terrifying, but that's life. TERRIFYING. So my target date is by early next year. WISH ME LUCK because I want to stay around my hood of course.

Ah, there are just so many things going on and I'm not sure if I'm overwhelmed or just over it. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEKS. Oh yeah and my little head and heart have been occupied by a someone whose subject is only written about in the physical journal, but I'm an open book and if you know me at all, you'll know how I'm feeling by the look of my face.

Until next time (which is hopefully not too long from now),
ARRIVEDERCI!

New York: February 2016

DAAAMNNNNN DANIEL! Back at it again with another blog post (finally)!!
So if you've been keeping up, you might have noticed that I've been a mess, as per usual. However, things have turned around since I came back from New York City! It was the first trip of the year and I was accompanied by 13 lovely friends, whom I'm ever so grateful for. This trip originally started off with 2 people then miraculously turned into a field trip. Tickets were a whopping $192 ROUNDTRIP. YES. ROUNDTRIP so how could you say no to New York City via Virgin America!? You simply can't refuse!!!! The night we bought our tickets will always be one of my most favorite memories. "Yo, are you down to go to New York?" "I'm down." It was as easy as that, surprisingly.

Since this wasn't my first NYC rodeo, I didn't go to as many places (wish I blogged about my first time there, but I was on hiatus). Fortunately, I did get to revisit a few of my favorites. So without further adieu, here are a bunch of photos of extremely over excited happy people!

The hardest thing about traveling with a large group, in my opinion, is eating out together. This bill was a pain in the ass, but those were some pretty BOMB pancakes. Bubby's is definitely a spot.

I was super excited for a few of my friends who have never been to the city! Look at how cute Arra is with her nuts :)

I'm not sure who these girls think they are...

Wrong pose Oscar...

Clearly, I'm the normal one.

We basically spent hours at Central Park as you may have noticed by the amount of photos. The first time I was there I said I would return when the trees were alive and green so I guess I'll have to make another trip soon ;) 

FAVORITE SPOT THO. PIES N THIGHS YO. PIES N THIGHS.

viewwwwssssss.

I made a special trip to see a special friend which was very special.

AND YES. We met the Sprouse twins and let me tell you, ouuuu let me tell you! They have sprouted into two beautiful human beings! Very hip. Very kind. Very chill.

Thankfully the weather wasn't shit! However, I did get sick on the way back home and so did a few others. That's what happens when you travel... Anyway, it was such a fun trip, too bad it was short, but at least now we can start planning our next adventure as a squadron. I can't wait to see what shenanigans we get ourselves into in the near future :)

UPDATE: Steph made a little video!

Hope you're all well!
