Above are the places I'd like to visit in New York. And to complete my NYC checklist: 1290 Avenue of the Americas, 28th Floor
New York, NY 10104 + Radio City!
I don't get it but 'signs' keep appearing in front of my two naked eyes these days. NEW YORK. I've seen New York on shirts, on movies that I've watched (within the last couple of days) and it was even part of one of our class discussions. I feel like something's gonna happen. But I don't know what it is.
I really wanted to go to New York since I became a Fun. fan. Because basically, the band's living there. But my NYC dream evolved into something bigger. If before, I just wanted to land my feet on New York grounds, now, I'm aiming of landing a job at the Big Apple. It's really a BIG dream which is really hard to fulfill but who knows? :) And speaking of 'job', I think I know now what I want myself to be in the future. I remember once, Aunt Cecille asked me what are my plans after graduation and I wasn't able to reply because I wasn't sure about my future yet that time. And she kinda looked at me with a whut?-you-are-about-to-graduate-in-two-years-time-but-you-doen't-have-any-plans-yet-face. I feel that even if she didn't said anything after. Uh, I think that's because American citizens think beyond their age. Like people same as my age has concrete plans already. So back to what I was telling you, my dream job is to be part of the music video production team of Fueled by Ramen. I don't know how it works there but I really want to pursue on music video making. Or if that doesn't work, I can be a photographer instead or anything that can make me be associated with FBR. HEEHEE. I just want to be on that line of job.
But maybe I was saying all of these just because of the thought that I could get closer to Fun. Haha. But for now, because that 'thought' keeps me inspired, I'll just keep it hanging in one of the corners of my mind.
And before I forgot, I already started saving money. And I call it The Fun.d. With all the things I've said, you probably know by now it's purpose. Yes, I'm just preparing for that time. :)
After almost 3 or 4 weeks, we came back to Arizona last weekend. This time, it was more special because we'll get to meet Lolo Celso's daughter who's currently living in Colorado. And because Memorial Day landed on a Monday, she and her boyfriend booked a flight to Arizona on Friday, making them spend their weekend there.
Daddy was telling us that she last saw Aunt Cecille when she was still a little girl. And now, she's 27. That's 20 years after. Me? I haven't seen her since then. I'm her friend in Facebook and Instagram but we haven't really talked about anything yet. It was my first time to see her in the flesh. By the way, if you can still remember my post way back May of 2012: Last Week of May. I mentioned there that I have a tita who's into fashion blogging. She's the one who I am referring to.
So it was indeed a fun weekend. I got to catch up with Aunt Eileen and we got to play with her kids, Lucas and Danalynn. These kids are the coolest! They're Filipino-Vietnamese, both born in the US. It was really draining to play with them, really. Then Aunt Cecille and I had a little talk. We had a great conversation about studies, family and boyfriend stuff (Well I said I never had a boyfriend but she and Uncle Chris' girlfriend, Katrina, said I will have one soon. I think that's creepy.) We talked like we've known each other for years. She's so sweet and cute. She even gave us her unused clothes, mostly Forever 21 (and she, her sister and I played dress-up) and she gave mommy a set of Victoria's Secret stuff and the rest of us, North Face shirts. Those are big names which I wouldn't be able to buy even if I have money because it's too costly. She's so generous. I think she like stuff like that because her work is something related to fashion before. Her boyfriend is such a lucky guy to have her.
The weekend wasn't enough to bond with their family but we have to be back at Mexico because daddy has still work. That, I guess is the saddest part of being in Arizona -- leaving. But Aunt Cecille and her boyrfriend plan to go to the Philippines by winter. I hope we'll see each other again.
PS. Along with the family gathering, the fact that I was so close to Nate Ruess' hometown, Glendale made our Arizona trip a blast. 34 miles. Freaking 34 miles away from Nate Ruess' family. The latter is a clear evidence of me, fun.girling. FUN.GIRL ACHIEVEMENT.
I guess the title preempts what I'm going to say next. Hihihi. But before anything else, I'm just going to give a little update with the things that are happening to me lately.
Because there are really bum moments of summer, I have to do things to consume time so I tried playing Candy Crush. I also watched some episodes of Detective Conan. Oh, I can't thank enough the speedy connection here. I also streamed Be Careful with My Heart and Showtime even if it's late here already. Last weekend, we went to Calexico to shop and we also went to Daddy's workmate's party. I met new Filipino and Mexican friends! That's it. I thought I would be able to make literary stuff this summer but I just don't feel enthusiastic about it. I also haven't read any book yet. This summer's just pure fun and I don't want to be a KJ. Hahaha!
So now.. *drum roll*
I'm currently into FUN. If you know what I mean. I'm listening and singing to their songs everyday since the start of the week. I first learned about the band last year. There was this addicting game on my cousin's iPad (Tap tap Revenge) and I always beat my cousins and my sister if the song's Walking the Dog by Fun. I thought it would stop there. Then it was last month when I heard about P!nk's song, Just Give Me a Reason. I didn't liked it at first but when I heard it a couple of times, I fell in love with the song. Then I realized that the guy who was featured in that song was the guy from Fun. I really like his voice. It sound s so authentic. Plus I also like his compositions. Right there and then, I searched for their songs on Youtube. And right now, I can sing every lyric of their songs. HIHIHIHI. (I think my Hihis sound creepy.) Anyway, I hope I'll be able to watch them perform live. They have concerts in Arizona and California and Mexico but are scheduled months from now. (When I'm not here anymore.) That sounds so unforntunate for me but I do hope they'll be able to perform in front of their Filipino fans. If that happens, I'll surely go.
PS. I've never been this hooked to a band. Huhuhu. Nate Ruess forevs.

This blog was created August of 2008. Putting up an account here wasn't really on my plans. It's just that I was so crazy about Chris Tiu before and he runs a blog so I thought of creating my own as well. Years have passed, and I have grown yet I still keep my personal stuff here. Yes, things may change but one thing's for sure -- I will continue running this blog as long as I can.
