obsession

well i have a new favorite series of books. like many others im hooked on twilight. i cant help it its just such a great book! i have a new obsession with robert pattinson. he is just so breath taking. i feel like a little school girl....oh well.

update

wow it's been a while since i last updated my blog. so whats new you ask? well nothing much, just getting reay for spanksgiving. my sistas are supposed to come to s.a. for the holiday...yay! man i'm so ready to go back to dallas! i cant wait to finally move back! the only thing i'm not looking forward to is having to move all of our crap back. we have a lot of stuff. what else....oh yeah we tried bringing sushi(daniels dog back home) and i didnt work out. every time we would leave she would cry and bark the entire time we were gone. she was with us for less than a week and then daniels brother had to come pick her up : ( it just wasnt going to work out. oh well maybe one day i'll get my own pet. i really want a chihuahua.

chalk it up

we did this thing called chalk it up in san antonio. i participated with daniel and some of his friends from school. there were so many people making art work on the sidewalk and the street. it was really cool to see how everyone's piece turned out! i hope we get the chance to do this event again! in other news i'm going to do the light the night walk here in san antonio. daniel and i went to the fair this last weekend.....i cant believe its over!

bici

last weekend daniel and i went to the bicycle film festival in austin. it was so much fun being able to see all the short films about bicycles. we also took our own bikes and road them all over austin. while we were in austin we got the chance to hang out with my good friend kike. he took us to this natural pool...i forgot the name of the plaace but it was so beautiful. the water was super cold, but we still got in! last weekend was so much fun. i cant wait to go to austin again!

monitos

daniel and i made these little monitos (dolls). i think we should have made more...maybe this weekend!

state fair

i am sooooooo excited because the state fair of texas opens september 26th. i cant wait to eat all the great food and look at all the exhibits. i think im going to tell daniel to buy some season passes. looks like we will be coming home every weekend for the fair!!!!!!

bored to death

so im sitting here at work thinking what in the world to do. well i decided to paint on the computers paint program. everything has been great...life is great! i cant wait to go home this weekend! daniel and i have been making little stuffed dolls, which reminds me i need to take pictures of them. the dolls are pretty funny looking! they are so much fun to make!

photo's

yesterday daniel and i went out to the utsa school campus and shot some new photos. it was pretty fun because we took the bikes to go ride. my bike had a flat so we ended up just riding daniels bike around the school parking lot. my weekend was pretty good...it went by to fast!

sketching

well i started drawing these new little characters, and i like the idea of making them look different. i thought i shoud start making my characters have flaws that only i would think are beautiful. the last drawing is on a panel, which means...new painting!!!!! i need to start researching....it always helps to do a little research. on another note i cant wait to go home...i have vacation coming up!!!! woo hoo dallas here we come!!!!

working

well im here at work wondering what to do, and well i decided to write in my blog. for some reason i always feel i have to post a picture to go with my words, but i guess i dont always have to do that. last night daniel and i went to the movies and we watched the dark night. it was pretty good...but it felt weird watching the movie knowing heath ledger is gone. this weekend is kixpo, which means dallas here we come. in other news i think im going to have to start painting portraits. who is going to be my first subject??????

pinturitas

i made a couple of new paintings. i finished them all after work one night. i've been trying to find some new inspiration so that i can start a new series of paintings. i usually tend to dig into my familys life stories. i like to hear about their experiences in life. i've been thinking about painting portraits, but im still thinking about it. the other day daniel and i watched this movie called fur...its about this well known photographer diane arbus. i liked her idea of photographing people who were not normally photographed. she takes portraits of sideshow people, drag queens, and anything that is not normal. i like her ideas and the way she feels these people are beautiful in their own way.

sea world

last weekend the whole familia came down to san antonio and we all went to sea world. it was so much fun! it was kind of weird to actually see dolphins and killer whales in person. they were all beautiful...it was so cool to see the killer whales while they performed all their tricks! i had a blast at the water park in sea world. seriously you need about two days in that park because there is so much to do!

zoo

i'm so happy i had the day off today....woooo hoooo! so what did i do on my day off? well i went to the zoo and i had a blast. theres not that much going on in sa, which is why we decided to go to the zoo. it was pretty hot out there but it didnt bother us...it just felt good to do something different! daniel and i are pretty excited to go home this weekend because of the graff battle! hopefully people make it out there...oh yeah make sure to dress cool because its going to be killer hot out there!!!!

farmers market

last weekend i went with the familia to the farmers market in dallas, and well what can i say...it was great!! the fruit was delicious and the weather was perfect. i ate a roasted corn and it was the bomba...que rico!!! benny boo sat on the curb like he was a big boy. later that day i spent time with my sis and my cuz+x. x rocked his boots like he was a cowboy. we were also invited to be in this fancy rich people art show...it was aight. thats a whole other story, which i will talk about later.

alicia's painting

this is the video of me maaking a painting for my good friend alicia....she asked me to paint her a character for her new salon. i have more videos to share, but they will be posted later this week!!!

leaky

we went to garner park in leaky, tx. it was so much fun...everything about it is still beautiful. my family and i would always make a trip to the state park every summer. it had been a while since we last went to leaky, but this time i got to take my daniel. he fell in love with the river because he didnt want to get out the whole time we were there! i really needed a trip like this! the best part of it all is that daniel and i are not to far from the river and we can go whenever we want. woo hoo!!!!!!!!

new work

wow it's been a while since i was last on my blog. well i made i new painting for my good friend alicia it's hanging in her shop. it felt really good to paint again, ever since i started working i fell off. not to much is going on over here in san antonio...it's been pretty chill. the weekend is coming....oh yeah!!!!

i'm tired of working! i wish i could quit and not work! i miss my house in dallas, i miss my family, i miss my dogs, i miss my friends, i miss eating breakfast with my friends, i miss our girls night out on thursdays, i miss benny boo and x, i miss dallas!!!!!!!! i cant wait to go home this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
