Welcome 2012




Oh my GOD

{ 2012 }


I can't believe is already here.
You have a clue how long I been waiting for?
For ever ladies ... For E-V-E-R

Now let me do a little recap of my weekend.
I haven't been able to post anything due to
my computer not working, being super busy at
work, and not having enough time after hours.


 I started the day with a hot cup of hot chocolate.
Yummmmmmm
 Work was super slow and I worked until 6 o'clock.
I got home and I found this in the mail:

 She is amazing!!! 
Do you recognize her?
Does anybody have her blog link?
We were talking over emails last week and I accidentally
erased my whole inbox. Now I have no way of reaching 
her. Love if you are reading this please email me. The card
was beautiful and the message definitely made me smile.
I look forward to writing back. THANK YOU

That night we went to TGIF in
Porter Ranch for Happy Hour.
19855 Rinaldi St
Northridge, CA 91326
(818) 831 2324


Mango Pomegranate Margaritas for $5
Crispy Green Bean Fries and Boneless Buffalo Wings

And then I went to sleep over my cousin Karen's house.
Oh God! This blanket was HEAVEN. So warm and comfy.         



 Woke up early for a trip to the mall to buy
a new years dress. Yea I know .. let's not talk about
procrastinating people. I was craving an apple 
fritter so my cousin and I stopped by the donut shop. 
The blended Vanilla Latte was AMAZING.
 Hello Topanga Mall.
I very much hate you.
5 Hours and I couldn't find one dress that was worth
my money. Finally I get to Foreign Exchange


Um ... 
Hi excuse me everything is 50% off? 
Really?
I am in ... and with 15 hangers in my hand.
 I ended up going home with a $70 dress that I paid
only $35. SCOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 I know I am dumb I did not take a picture of my whole 
outfit because I was in such a hurry to get ready and 
leave the house. Everyone was waiting for us to have
dinner. So here is a picture of a similar dress:

Now the good part

 10..9..8..7..6..5..4..3..2..1
Cheersssssssss

Welcome 2012
I am very happy you are here.
The reason why I been waiting for 2012 is
because I am two steps away from becoming a
citizen. You see.. I came to the USA 11 years ago and 
getting our papers was the longest process ever. Two years
of temporary residence, two years of permanent residence,
bla bla bla finally in May I can apply for the citizenship. It's
not so much that I am excited to become a citizen but you
know what this means? I get to bring Sebastian YEAAAAA.
Two years already waiting patiently. Trips back and forth to
Argentina because waiting here by myself is painful and sad.
We are finally going to be able to be together FOREVER. I
seriously can't wait to go to Argentina, pack everything, and
flight back to California TOGETHER. Just thinking about it
gives me goosebumps. I pictured that day over and over in 
my head and I can't wait until it really happens. Also this year
I am planning to go back to my diet and hopefully my knees 
won't fail me again so I can start my gym routine again. I
lost over 50 pounds in the last 3 years and I am going for
more. I love to see myself in a smaller size, healthy, happy,
and full of energy. I am also planning to save lots of money
to be prepared to move out once Sebastian is here. I am
going to stop shopping like crazy and spend money on things
that are very unnecessary. I am really good at saving money
but November and December killed my budget. 2012 please
be good to me because I have many goals that I want to 
accomplish. I am mentally and physically prepared to stay
committed and motivated to keep moving forward with my plans.


What are your plans for 2012?

Happy New Year's Melina!! It looks like you had a great weekend =) I love your dress its so sparkly I wanted a sparkly dress, but I had to control myself this holiday season and I didn't buy anything special for myself it was hard. Good Luck this year not shopping is something difficult. One special plan I have this year is to hopefully save up and visit New York in December with my boyfriend! I hope it can happen! Take care and may you have a wonderful year. Congratulations on being two steps closer to your papers <3
