Just Chillen ;)


First of all if anyone ever has questions about traffic court I'm your girl! They continuously pull me over that I forget how many court appearances I have! But I have made a promise to myself those days are over! I'm a grown women who is on the verge of taking care of herself, so tired of giving all my money to the government. Anyways on a brighter note my last semester is going well so far. I love being more involved it leads to better grades! At four I'm attending a AMA meeting for 15points extra credit in a course. I don't want to go down the marketing track , but I think it will be beneficial regardless! Tomorrow will be the beginning of the french film festival internship, I will be blogging about the experience often. There are about 5 students all together the students from France are receiving their masters. This is just a little update if anyone is interested in anything for further detail let me know :)
This picture was when I just got off work, Andrey took a pic of me. His favorite chips are featured in the background!

Middle Eastern Festival

This labor day weekend I went back to Mclean on Saturday. The Middle Eastern Festival was going on at Holy Transfiguration Church Greek-Catholic Church. I'm blogging about this for anyone is thinking of attending next year , or has questions on festivals in the DMV area. When first walking into the church we entered upon priests screaming preaches. We also saw a priest speaking to someone about the Catholic religion. It was distasteful for all of us to walk into a Middle Eastern festival and feel like we were actually going to church. Once we got past the priests we came to a large room, that was full of people given little place to walk. The people were majority white Americans, they Arabs that were there were volunteers. There was halwah-te-jiban,baklava,among other middle eastern sweets lined up against the wall, with people selling them. Once you buy your ticket you can get the food you want. I had falafel and Andrey got the beef shawarama. I've had much better falafel even in Adams Morgan at a place called Falafel and fries. I know the name sound weird but they have the best falafel! The girl who took Andreys order actually handed him back his ticket! So Kristen was able to also get a Beef shawarama! Which she got sick off of! The only thing that was good was the Almaza (lebanese beer). So all in all it was not a very good festival we left immediately. Kristen felt like it made the arabic culture look shallow and not very rich, the Middle Easter Festival was not a good representation, with 15 year old belly dancers, and moon bounces. The Middle Eastern festival should be held not a mosque nor a church. It will attract a better crowd if it were to be at a non religious location.

First Week Of My Last Semester



Yesterday Peter and my pops came to Richmond for some business and before I knew it me and Andrey were in Mclean! My father has a way of surrounding himself with people at all times! We went to Kona Grill a restaurant in the West End of richmond that does half off sushi. It gives off a modern yet wooden environment with the decor or red. If you like sushi its half off during happy hour and has a young working crowd always a decent amount of people there during happy hour! ANYWAYS I took Andrey to Reston Town Center the center for all the highschool students back in the day to hang out! The place did a complete 360 high risers everywhere, beautiful apartments, new stores (bebe,jcrew,sephora,teavanna,and others), and bars! We went looking for a drink and something to eat. There was first Jackson's that was packed and owned by same people who run coastal flats. The design is the same light wood furniture, bright lights, outside seating. If you want to socilaize and get drunk go to jacksons! We went by Saopoul where I saw my cousin Julian! So happy to see him! We finally made a decision on a restaurant who still amazes me! Vapiano! Pizza,Pasta, Bar. Extremely spacious with high ceilings filling you with a breath of fresh air. Wood furniture with cushions high seats for the modern style, or you had the choice of sitting low and creating a more romantic, or lounging atmosphere with friends. The front desk gave you card which allowed you to make your purchase they use the card and you pay at the end by handing you their card! The idea was great , probably why they are opening in Dubai,Austraial,Switzerland,Germany, France, amongst other locations. This is the website if you want to know more about the company I highly suggest it. WWW.VAPIANO.COM I also loved the plants!Attatched is a song I was looking for about a week and finally found after posting a question on facebook! Also I uploaded a picture of when me and Andrey went to Tobacco to celebrate Fajsels 23d birthday!!!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sS76eS34Y0c&ob=av2e

7-30-11

I got a urge to update!!! It's 9:51am on a Saturday and yes I'm feeling completely fine! No hangover or crucial headache, I actually forgot what those felt like! It's been over a month since I remember being tipsy and almost a month since I smoked a ciggy! Thanks...not to me but my situation! I've motivated myself enough to go to the gym this morning a battle I consistently fight! It's just the motivation! In sales you're motivated by money. Its sad I need an incentive to do a good job at something or to try. Incentives motivate people. Gym=Good Health..... Walking up to a person selling them something=more money in the bank...... more money in the bank=cute clothes.Andrey went to Baltimore for the day, I'll be working until 10pm tonight and I think his mom is preparing or cleaning something in the kitchen!Internship is done with and plans are being made for the future:)

Okay Wow

I was on a health splurge for 5 years, but it has come to a almost immediate hault! I'm 9 days from 22 years old and I should not be having a mid life crisis already! Although this is exactly what it feels like. I'm searching for an undying forever motivational guide to going to the gym! I rather spend my time on facebook, with andrey, at the pool, sipping on something sweet or some other hobby that indulges me with extreme pleasure. I went to get dressed today for work and ALMOST couldn't button my FAVORITE pants! Now if I couldn't officially button these pants I'd probably call off of work and run to the gym saying I got a flat tire or something, I mean it's that serious. It's deff a women's curse in my family starting with me sister and most probably ending with me! Not the fact that I'm fatgirl but the fact that we say it EVERY SINGLE DAY! hahahahahahah...jesus christ please send me to the gym after work although there will be a bunch of beautiful people when I get off of work.. Thanks to me :) besitos
