Feeling THIS

"Look to the past
And REMEMBER and SMILE.
And maybe tonight
I can breathe for a while.
I'm not in the scene
I think I'm fallin' asleep
But then all that it means is
I'll ALWAYS be dreaming of YOU."

Little Tokyo, DTLA

Spent a lovely afternoon with my sister. Sister time was very much needed! :) Here are a few pics. Of course, we had to stop for some sweets in little Tokyo... Mochi ice cream & Imagawayaki, our favorite treats!

Goodbye 2010.

2010 was pretty hectic for the most part. Luckily it is ending well for me :)
I'm holding on to true friends. My heart belongs to a very special someone and I'm happy to own his. Besides that I'm truly thankful for the amazing family I've been blessed with. My primas are the best girlfriends one could ask for. I thank God for all of his blessings this year but most importantly for the lessons learned.

I wish EVERYONE an amazing 2011. May you all be filled with many blessings, lots of love and happiness. 11 is my favorite number! Therefore, I have high expectations this year. It should be a goodie! :) I will put my part to make it a very memorable one <3

Laugh.Love.

In life, it's greatly important to live, laugh, love & be loved. Everyone will experience the extreme roller coaster of this crazy beautiful vida. Although, someones roller coaster might be a little bumpier than others, we all ARE capable of surviving. What's really important is to have faith in self. Believe and be confident. You will not always get what you want, but that's because there's something better than what you want coming your way.

Today was GOOD to me.

There's times in life when you take for granted the things that should matter the most. You tend to fall into temptation without considering the cons. Your selfish acts, cause pain to others. Then comes the time when ALL that you've gone through transforms you into an amazingly strong and mature human being. Not that you weren't in the beginning, you just didn't know how to use that strength and maturity. I've lived an extreme rollercoaster of emotions myself, in the chapter of LOVE from this book I like to call "My crazy beautiful Vida". But today, I can say that I've left all the negativity behind. I've learned the real meaning of appreciation. It starts with a thank you. Sometimes we forget how to appreciate the smallest things in life, that have the BIGGEST meaning to us in life. Stop living a life full of regrets. Start living a life full of cherishable moments!♥ Be sincere, be grateful, live life and spread the love!

As always, thank you God for the blessings :)

Libra.

Fair, generous and balanced, you put your heart into your relationships. From dear friendships to passionate romances, sociable Libra thrives on the pleasure of others. Not giving in to the extremes, your graceful, even-keeled nature invites everyone around you to adopt a more easygoing lifestyle. Because of your deep appreciation for all that is beautiful, we are all reminded to stop not once, but many times, to smell the sweet roses.

Amor de familia, es unico.

Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other. Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there. She is my mirror, shining back at me with a world of possibilities. She is my witness, who sees me at my worst and best, and loves me anyway. She is my partner in crime, my midnight companion, someone who knows when I'm smiling, even in the dark.

We have a bond, nobody can break. A love that can never be compared. We are not just sisters but best friends FOREVER.

Thank you God for your blessings.

I love you mi Karinita!♥
