Phase: College

So the college life loves me and I love it.
I love the fact that I don't have school EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I loooove it when my classes don't start before 10!
I love that teachers actually teach! [stupid high school]
I love that I have breaks in between classes.
I love that I can take my computadora.
I especially love the hott musician boys I get to work with. :)

Life seems to be going in my favor lately...let's hope I didn't jinx it.
A few weeks ago yours truely applied to be an intern with the Phoenix Symphony in the Operations Department. They called me in for an interview last week. [It was soo nervous-making!]
I just found out yesterday that I got the position!
Ya, Berklee better take me now! :D

Also, I might have landed an awesome hair styling job!
Let's hope it works out!

I like this new phase of my life..
It almost makes high school seem worth it..

Next phase:
BOSTON!

Summer Haze

These past two years of my life have been hectic!
I've had school, evit, work, and other stuff to deal with everyday!
[plus, thats just how our family is. Busy and unpredictable.]
This is the very first summer since...2004 that has been completely free!! [except for work]
I've always had summer school and EVIT to worry about.

Thinking back on all of this, I've come to realize that I actually like my hectic life style. This summer is just work..and sleep...and being lazy/playing with friends. Don't get me wrong, all that is way fun. But I feel like such a...BLOB!

I can't wait for the 24th of August.
I'll officially be a college student.
With that, sadly, I'll have to trade the little social life I've gained from this summer of freedom. :C

This lazy summer of mine I feel was deserved and quite needed. Without it, I don't think I'd have the will or energy to start college and work!

August 1

This was a birthday quite unlike any other.
For one reason, I was turning 18.
My parents surprised me, and got me a laptop. :D

Then Mimi, Connie, Shelby and I went to go see The Band Of Skulls playing a free show at Zia Records. We went to every Zia Records store in the area of Phoenix and Tempe trying to find the one were they were playing at [thanks Cha Cha]! Finally, the last store we went to they were there...packing up all their stuff!!
Fortunately, Connie has amazing luck meeting famous musicians.



We heard about a show they were doing later that night..
and we looked up directions to get there..thanks cha cha
Don't worry, we made it :)



It was one of the funnest shows I've been to.
But it wasn't because of their fancy high tech lighting, or because the crowd was wild.
Their music was amazing and they really made you feel it.
They were so connected as a group, you could see it.



I made eye contact with the drummer several times...
He'll remember me when they're super famous.

I am an over-stuffed cherry oak box. Cherry because it's sweet, with the occasional knot in the wood displaying my seasons of stress and grief. The oak is stable, simple and essential. My corners are rounded as I avoid confrontation to soften a blow.
You'll find me discarded in an old abandoned concert hall, where you will take apart piece by piece my box. Each piece represents notes on a page, instruments belonging in a symphony, movement in an orchestral suite, songs in an album and keys of a piano.
Inside, you can read over and over all the timeless books I love. Watch all 13 years worth of piano recitals. Wear the Tu-Tu from the only dance recital I was in, for I was too scared to ever go back. Feel all my happiness, anger and stress as you browse through poetry. Laugh and cry as you read the tail of my past. Mourn for all the people I've loved and lost. You'll hear an old guitar playing rock and roll riffs that shaped a new generation. Carefully take out the concert tickets and movie stubs I've collected over many years. Listen to my albums that supplemented my times of joy, comforted my sorrow, inspired epiphanies, and drowned out bad memories.
As you walk away you'll hear how each sour note gracefully found it's way into a beautiful melody. As you movie along, you'll find the music that compose my life, will be apart of your own composition too.

So over the years Ive gone through many phases.
I've gone through my skater phase...
my rocker/grunge phase
my rocker/punk phase
my Juno phase
among with many more.

the past year or so I have been diagnosed with Yellow Fever.
but to be honest.. I was only into Asian girls..
no not in that way
I dont think that fever will ever pass.



But lately, I feel a new thing coming on.
Jungle Fever.
Lets face it.. they're just so sexy



There is no White Chocolate Fever or anything
because thats racist. ;D




Oh, and lets not forget this never-ending phase:

Every one gets their words mixed up every now and then.
It happened to me just yesterday.

Me and my little brother were watching TV and an annoying obnoxious commercial came on: "EVERYBODY BEATS MITCH!"
And of course, I always mimic everything
I say:
"EVERYBODY MEETS B*TCH!"
It was very entertaining.


Now, on to a different note!

This Christmas was very odd and not like any other I've had before..but I find it probably one of my favorites and a memorable one.
And on top of all of that.. I got a keyboard!
and Logic Studio!
:D

I love it

Let's observe the planet Saturn for a moment..
-Has rings
-6th planet from the sun
-Big ball of gas.


It may look like a planet with a solid surface,
but all in all..
It's just gas.

Looks can be deceiving.
and
Everything isn't what it seems..

I wish everyone understood that.

Over the last few weeks I've realized how many people I'm going to leave behind in order to start my new life.
I will get to move out of my house and stuff..that's always fun...
but what about the few friends I have that are actually friends??
I just have to leave them now??

This part of growing up sucks.
I don't really like it.

I know I'll have to go through more eye opening experiences..
like BILLS!!

ugh.

So, on Saturday I received the most wonderful news I've ever heard.

I was just about to get ready for work when my Dad calls me down to the kitchen [great, I was in trouble :)]. Then he hands me an envelope from NAU, a small envelope.
[Earlier I had applied there and was waiting for a response.]
I open it, it was very nervous-making especially since I had my dad reading over my shoulder. I was expecting it to contain no happy-making news...it was a small envelope after all.
But it was a good small envelope!!

I'm accepted to start fall of 2009 as a music performance major. :D

It's so scary to think that in less than a year, I'll be moving out of my home that I've lived in for 13 years and go live on my own. [with some fabulous room mates of course!]
But I think this is what I need. I need to live a new life in order to create and start my new life.
