Remember To Be Happy

So many people sometimes forget the principles of life... what really makes them/us?...

We're surrounded by so much money>>making people so greedy, distractions of having to think to much, instead of feeling... (mostly because of overworked jobs)...

Why can't there just be simple, carefree people, who enjoy travel, culture and most of all living life to its fullest everyday. Who are you to be? Who are you to become? Isn't that part of the journey? Just enjoy life's challenges & be natural...

So what if things don't come out to be perfect. Accept the mistakes, errors and go with the flow. Most of all be sensual, accepting, embrace the love and imperfections of others.

Enjoy the scenery, landscapes, colors life gives you.

Come to your senses :  Touch/Feel, Smell, Hear, See, Taste .......

Live & Let Live Free

"Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile."

One Last Tear

As I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking of all my mistakes, unaware of the badness I've caused to make you hurt

Fell for you hard, now under a spell of confusion, lost & sad. 

Knowing your hurt, & my absence of not "being there" kills me more and more inside

Dreaming of the good memories, our many adventures, & intimate moments,

At every thought of you, I smile.

Feeling the many sleepless nights to come… 

I lie alone in bed as I cry my last tear

My Special Place

In the midst of darkness, the candle flickers, the breezy wind blows in through my bedroom window, I'm captivated within my thoughts of you.

I imagine us holding hands as we frolic our way into the sunflower fields, slowly picking at them as the thorns prick our sensitive fingers. Reading short stories to the newborn baby lambs in the barn, picking oranges and peaches.

Laughing, smiling, breathing, living….

At dusk we climb a small mountain, watching the colorful purply-blue, pinkish streaks of sun rays settle into the depths of the earth, saying goodnight as the moon rises up to greet us.

Resting under the twinkly stars & the bright moonlight sky.

We gaze upon the stars, you hold my hand, I look over, & you smile to me.

You part my hair from my eyes, look at me as my heart melts, thumps up & out of my chest.

 Overcoming sense of happiness, love and serenity flows through my blood & seeps deep into my skin.

I am in utter peace

Appreciate a Loved One

Sometimes the ones you care most for are the ones you neglect the most. It's easy to forget about the feelings and aspirations of those closest to you as you move around them daily and sometimes take them for granted. Appreciation of their presence in your life is always something worth stopping for, to take the time to reflect over and will rejuvenate the strength of your relationships.

"Your Loving Arms"

Sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder,

What I am to you,
Sometimes I can't stand the way that I'm acting,
To be part of the things you do,
Often I've asked you for too much of your time,
I've been stealing,
And when I dream of the fear that you're leaving,
I reach out,
Oh baby then you,
Mmmm, oh yeah...

So many times have I asked you to tell me,
That I'm your girl,
Time after time I have needed a reason,
Just to get inside your world,
So many times have I asked you to ask me,
How it feels to love,
And when its love seems the only conclusion,
That I'm guilty of,
Oh baby then you,Mmmm, oh yeah...
Put your loving arms around me,
And you whisper to me when you,
Put your loving arms around me,
And inside your arms I'm burning,
Put your loving arms around me,
And you whisper to me when you,
Put your loving arms around me,
And inside your arms I'm burning,
I'm burning,
Inside your arms I'm burning,
Yeah burning...

Burning I'm burning,
Inside your arms I'm burning,
Yeah burning...

Oh yeah...

Sometimes the way that you act makes me wonder,
What I am to you,
Sometimes I can't stand the way that I'm acting,
To be part of the things you do,
Often I've asked you for too much of your time,
I've been stealing,
And when I dream of the fear that you're leaving,
I reach out...

So many times have I asked you to tell me,
That I'm your girl,
Time after time I have needed a reason,
Just to get inside your world,
So many times have I asked you to ask me,
How it feels to love,
And when its love seems the only conclusion,
That I'm guilty of,
Oh baby then you,
Put your loving arms around me,
And you whisper to me when you,
Put your loving arms around me,
Mmmm, oh yeah...

Work @ Pixie Market / Fitting @ Bergdorf & Goodman @ NY / Tour of Fox News Studios

Today was a busyyy bee day! Woke up @ 10.30 am, my phone is not working, I'm waiting to get my early upgrade to the Blackberry Torch this Saturday, CAN'T WAITT!!! ..... I RAN & took the 4 (green) train to work at 356 Bowery. Today I worked for Pixie Market , they have a store in NY @ : 

100 Stanton Street

(between Orchard & Ludlow)

New York, NY 10002

T: 212 253 0953 F: 212 253 0538

Store Hours: 

Mon-Sun 12-8PM

I did their online cataIogue tried on loads of nice but pricey clothes including Miista shoes, and Deadly Ponies bags, Stolen Girlfriends Club, Stylestalker.. (to name a few of my personal favorites)...

 Miista Heels

Miista Sandels

Deadly Ponies Bag

Stylestalker Blouse

Finished around 3.30pm, bolted out the door to get to my fitting up on 625 Madison Ave/5th Ave. For the Bergdorf & Goodman/ Crohns & Colitis Charity Show, that's tomorrow. There were many gorgeous gowns by Oscar De La Renta, J. Mendel and a few other designers. The client asked me to return that evening to fit into some new dresses that were yet to arrive. 

I departed shortly afterwards to a last minute casting that my agency had send to me this afternoon - 95 Wall Street, right next to my home. Perfect so I could drop off my heavy portfolio and pick up my YSL Black Sandle Heels as the clients at the fitting previously had asked me to. Saw a model Erin Fee @ the casting she just got to NY from London a few weeks ago, I welcomed her arrival.

Rushing up to soho to meet my childhood friend Michael Arroyo at our favorite cafe, Aroma @ Houston & Greene St. I had the Iced Aroma which tastes a little bit like a Frappucino and he had already snacked when I had arrived, he accompanied me to my fitting up on Madison Avenue. Quickly tried on a black a bit 'cabaret" styled dress, walked up and down the hallway- "runway style" & finished. Mike suggested we go to visit his work at Fox News on 1211 6th Ave/48th St. so he could give me a tour. I was ecstatic and immediately agreed.

It was the coolest thing, as we entered the building, I passed by the front desk to pick up my Visitor's card and up the elevator we went. We stopped into "Studio G" & saw the anchorman Shepard Smith. It was so cool!!!! He spoke about the 94 Tornados that were currently happening in Alabama, INSANEEE I know, they had LIVE footage someone sent in from their cellphone.  

We later went down to the basement where Mike worked. He showed me the communication room where they receive new data and info from the public and write the script. Pretty interesting stuff...I was lucky enough to see it! Thanks Mike!!!!

Off to bed tomorrow is going to be a long day!

Goodnight *M

Sunny Spring Day @ NY

Tuesday, April 26, 2011:

I woke up to Ponyo's smell of numerous diarrhea and vomit smell in the house, I know... GROSSS!!! But poor little Ponyo, I urgently took him to the Vet check him out, he got serum inserted behind his neck to keep him hydrated as when I fed him food he refused to eat and was worried he has something in his stomach, this liquid made his back look a little like a hunchback chihuahua... anyways, my little tough noogie pulled through the whole medicated part and got a big treat when we got home. 

I took Ponyo home after the Vet visit and continued to the rest of my castings with Clara, who accompanied me, and I accompanied her to hers. :) Her last casting was right next Milk Studios, and we found a HUGEEE poster of her in the Armani Exchange Campaign Spring/Summer 2011, which she currently came out in ... and took some photos. I also had the courtesy of taking a photo of my first "spring" outfit. H&M Pants, All Saints Boots, Forever 21 black tank and the cropped shirt is from Bali (i dont know the designer), Versace sunglasses, Michael Kors watch, necklaces from Urban Outfitters, Bag from LV... =)

Goodnight *M

Strolling @ Battery Park

Easter Weekend- April 22-24, 2011

Enjoyed a wonderful stroll around our neighborhood with Ponyo. I dressed him up in camo hoodie with a silver parka. We took a stroll down to Battery Park, walked up along the water then crossed the West Side Highway to where the World Trade Center Memorial Plaque Wall was,  passed by the fire station and a church/cemetary. The flowers are blooming, finally spring is here. As the brisk breeze whistled us into the dark of the night, there finally was peace in the air.

Sweet Dreams
