Post from Ensenada ( and holy crap, I’m on a roll!)

Disclaimer:
I didn’t proof this blog so if there’s sentences that don’t make sense or typos, I will fix it when I get back. I’m on time restriction.

Ok, I don’t want to sound like a complainer or anything but, this trip is not what I thought it was going to be. Yeah, I know, I’m complaining. It’s day 2 of this last minute vacation and I don’t have anyone my age to hang out with. It turns out older cooler cousin Cindy isn’t so cool when they other kids their age to hang out with.

Yeah, so I’m stuck with hanging out with either people my parent’s age or a bunch of adolescents. I don’t know which one is worse. There are no people my age to hang out with…yikes! And I’m beginning to regret my decision on flaking on my brother. On top of that, I’m also stressing about what my Monday will be like. We dock at 6:30 a.m. From that point, I can either decide to get off the boat with early departure or wait till 8:00 a.m. and then hang around till class starts at noon. The only problem is I won’t have my homework done nor will I have access to a computer to get the darn thing done. I know, a total dilemma.

On our one and only day that we’re off the boat, I opt out for a coffee shop with internet for $2 an hour because there’s nothing but cheesy shops and crap to buy on the streets. Not to mention the depressing little 4 year olds that are pushing their crap on you as well. “Chicle? Chicle?” Seriously, no I don’t want your chicle and stop making those puppy dog eyes at me. It’s not going to change my mind.

I don’t know why it is but it’s always some trip that make you realize how good you have things. Especially when you see little toddlers running around in the hot heat trying to make a living. Totally sad but that’s reality.

Anyway, I should really use this time to surf the web for top lighting designers. That’s one of my assignments for the week. This way, I can have apart of my homework done and I won’t feel like a total slacker. Then after lunch I might brave up and hop on a party bus with Papas and Beers. Ha! That would be a sight. I keep hearing their party trolley pass by. Maybe I’ll feel like hopping on. Or…there’s always an option for a massage. I saw a place right as I was walking into downtown. You can get a hot stone massage for $35 bucks. Yeah I think the later of the two would probably be the smarter idea.

There’s my update for my one day being gone. Man, I’m on a blogging roll . Sorry Liz but this officially makes you look bad. On the bright side of things, I did see a bag with the virgin on it. I forget her name ( maybe Guadalupe?) but she’s on those hideous candles you gave me. If you send me good thoughts you just might have one to carry your swim stuff in when I get back.

Hasta luego mis amigos!

Procrastination, the Art of Cindy

with 2 comments

I know that it must shock you that I’m posting two entries two days in a row, and that both entries have been more than two sentences long. It’s just that I haven’t had anything to write about in the past two months. Because this moment is in rare form, I dedicate this post to my buddy Patrick (only if you consider this a real post).

I’m off to Mexico today. I’m still not packed yet but I’m hoping that my brain will realize that I need to get my crap together soon. All I need is sunscreen and a bathing suit. Ha, that would be pretty funny if that’s all I packed. I also need to get my homework stuff ready for Monday since I won’t have access to the internet while I’m on my trip. Technically, I will have access but I don’t feel like paying $5 a minute to fluff around on the web.

On a side note:
Dreams don’t mean anything, right? I had a dream last night that my car was stolen. I was kinda freaked out. When I was pressing the unlock button on my car alarm it unlocked this white cargo van and my car was totally missing. I was not a happy camper to say the least.

I know that was totally random but I thought it was pretty funny and wanted to share. I should really go and pack now. I hope everyone has a great weekend. Don’t have too much fun when I’m gone. Try to save it for when I get back. :-)

México or Bust!

without comments

As far as summer’s go, I have to say mine has been pretty boring so far. Mind you, it’s only the end of June but still. No vacations planned, nothing super exciting going on in my life other than the same old school (and yes I started a new quarter) and work. I’m like a well oiled machine doing the same thing day in and day out. Ugh, when I put it like that, it’s kind of depressing to think about. My life is so monotonous.

Anyway, today at around 11:30 this morning, I got two phone calls. One from my Aunt and one from my mother about the possibility of me going on a 3 day Baja cruise with them. Nothing spectacular or anything but it could possibly be a pretty nice getaway. As I’m talking to my mother on the phone, I realized that I had to work on Saturday. Ugh…so is my life.

So, I’m super excited at that fact that I might be able to go on this cruise. But, in order to go, I would have to see if someone would cover for me. I asked the one and only other designer and she so graciously said she would cover since her appointment actually canceled. Man, things are looking up. So, this means that I’m meant to go, right? Anyway, I decided that I would since I don’t have a life anyway and most of my weekend would most likely consist of my ass sitting at home on my couch watching the Food Network with Emeril or Bobby Flay.

Tonight I will be packing my bags and Friday afternoon I will be joining my Aunt, Uncle, and my mother in the port of Long Beach. Oh, I can’t forget my favorite little brats in the whole world, Yunnie and William on a relaxing cruise to Mexico. I would also like to note that Yunnie and William are quite thrilled that I’m going. I remember a few weeks back, Yunnie was complaining about how boring a cruise with Mom and Dad was going to be. So, older, wiser and cool cousin Cindy to the rescue! (Now that I think about it, I might be babysitter Cindy, ahh…oh well.)

On the downside of things, my brother is upset with me. I totally forgot that I had made prior commitments on Saturday. Seriously, this isn’t a joke, I never have weekend plans. He had made dinner plans for his birthday and now that I’m officially flaking, he’s pissed. He won’t say he is but I can totally tell. His girlfriend is kinda upset with me too, I think. From what I could tell from her voice over the phone. I feel like a horrible sister, but I wished he’d understand that this kind of opportunity for a cheap weekend getaway doesn’t come around very often. I’ll make it up to him with a bigger and better present than I already purchased and hopefully, it’ll make him forget about how I flaked on him. I doubt it, but it’s worth a try.

I’ll give you a full report of my weekend when I get back if it’s not super boring.

Adios amigos for now.

On the way back from my run today, I saw a high school couple having sex in a car today. Actually, to be fair, Liz saw them first. Oh to be young and be doing it like bunnies. Seriously…they were going non-stop. I just wanted to share.

Ok, this post will have to do for now. Sorry, I know I really suck but at least it’s a new post. Ta ta for now.
