party time

I want to move here to Paris. The people are so fashionable here and quite welcoming. I met a group of Parisians who have been showing me around. Shopping is amazing and food is so delish. Pastries and baguettes galore. Kronenbourg beer too


so since i´ve been here in europe, we have been going out just about every night. i needed a break so here it is. the parisians party like theres no tomorow. first we start with dinner and wine. then go to the pub. then to clubs. then to the "after". then drink at their homes. how is it 10 am already?

j´taime

yesterday when i was on the metro, i experience romance second hand. walking through the tunnels i saw some chalk writing on the floor. j´taime marta. turned around a corner i saw a big heart above the name marta. walked up some steps, and i saw a girl taking a picture of another chalk writing on the floor of j´taime marta. then me and my parisian buddies got on our train. she soon followed. we passed a few stops, the girl taking the photo jumps out of the train, runs and hugs a guy waiting at the stop. they both enter the train. i didn´t understand a lot of what they were saying, so i ask my french buddies if that was marta. and of course it was. what a sweet bf. he made a trail for her to find him. j´taime means i love you in french.

london? not so much

i was supposed to go to london today. booked the wrong ticket. went to the train station. tickets became way too expensive (230 euro one way), so i guess i'm going to barcelona instead.

nye 2008

so i went to the eiffel tower for nye. it was mad chaos. we left the hotel at 10 and by 11:30pm we were rushing to get there. massive people on the streets, the metro, we couldn´t even get on at some points. so we walked, or ran rather. so we got there right before midnight. people were screaming, dancing, drinking on the streets. no one says anything to you if you have alchohol here. then trying to get home was chaos too. no trains. no taxis. walking. walking. walking. pub till 5 found a taxi, he tried to rip us off (40 euros for a short ride) and then we took the metro when they openned back up.

nye in paris

paris flight leaves in 5 hours. i havent packed. sleepy. tired. hungry. i just want to be there.

miami

it's a whole different universe. its kinda like LA but with lots of italians and cubans, but with a lot of pastel colored buildings. shopping is wierd. theres a lot of bling. imagine forever 21 hoochie style, but with screen prints on top of screen prints on top of rhinestones on top of embroidery. i somehow managed to find a few cool spots. thanks superfuture and univ. stopped by univ, arrive, base, dwr, and base annex. got a dress at arrive, a dress at base annex and a few little notebooks and crap. i love base annex.

for my birthday i hung out with a few hairdressers at a place called pawn shop. its the shizzy. its an old pawn shop converted into a bar. lounge areas were made from an airstream, an old bus, and an airplane. good music, good drinks. if i ever come back to miami thats where you'll find me. we also went to a love hate which is owned by the guy who started miami ink. funk and soul all night. fun times.

it was cool. i even went to the beach here. nice water.

pre birthday

so i got here to miami 1am. i was supposed to get here at 8:40pm. i somehow missed my flight. well, it was at 11:15am, i got to the airport at 10:50am. i thought my flight was at noon. had to catch the next flight...it was delayed. then this morning at 9 am started my certification. the written part wasnt so bad, the lecture really made me nervous. thank god its over. now i'm getting ready for dinner, and later i will celebrate my birthday with a bunch of strange hairdressers. 8 hours and 45 min till i'm 25. but here it is 5 hours and 45 min.
