Boy Crush...

I finally finished the "Boy Crush" Zine. I am excited about this zine because I made broken heart magnets. I can't wait to see the happy faces of people who buy this zine. All of the magnets are different and they will be so hard to let go of, because they look so cute. My biggest thrill will be if a boy bought this zine and gave it to their girlfriend...This week has been a bit crazy simply because two of my friends have gotten their hearts broken by boys they love so dearly. I'm not sure what is going on with these boys that broke my friends hearts, but I decided to make them a little mix so they can feel a bit better.
I titled my mix "Grrl Mix"

1. No Viniste Natalia Lafourcade

2. Patins CSS

3. Modern Romance/Poor Song Yeah Yeah Yeahs

4. Magic Perfume Charlyne Yi

5. Don’t Tell Me Avril Lavigne

6. Nicest Thing Kate Nash

7. Keep On Loving You The Donnas

8. Como La Flor Los Abandoned

9. Anyone Else But You Moldy Peaches

10. Be The One The Ting Tings

Enjoy the mix and don't break too many hearts.

Let's Make Every Moment Count...

Walking under the rain on Friday made me realize how much I have missed out in this little moments. I forgot my umbrella and instead of worrying that I might get sick. I walked happily home with the rain falling. The little drops were cold, but I was happy. I felt like I was in a movie. I truly want this year to be different and making every moment count. Three things I loved about this weekend:

1. Walking in the rain.
2. Donating my clothes to the Goodwill.
3. Watching a little film called "Lars and The Real Girl" (loved it).

Grrl Fair March 12

I have been waiting for an opportunity to read mis poemas for a larger audience. This week mi amiga Patty text me to tell me that this event called "Grrl Fair" was looking for Spoken Word Artists for their March 12th event. She suggested that I email them that I was interested to be part of the event. The sweet thing is that I got a reply back from the organizers that they wanted me to send them samples of my work. (I was a bit nervous because this was my first actual review). I waited for two days for a reply. I checked my email and nothing. I am pretty sure everyone has gone through the experience of sending something that is truly important to you and not knowing how it will get received on the other end.


I am happy to inform everyone that I got the coolest email on Saturday stating that the "Grrl Fair" will love to have me read for their event on March 12. I felt so happy like I was in the biggest cloud...I am looking forward to sharing mis poemas.

Stay Tune for "El Mix" zine...

I am currently working on "El Mix" zine...I have never put together an actual booklet so I am trying to figure out how to make copies and make it look sweet...I want people to be able to share a moment with each other as they read this poem...I am in hopes that it can string people together and just for a moment they can have a musical journey together...If everyone were to make a mix and give it to a random person what an awesome feeling that will be to share your soundtrack with someone else...

No Profound Words

I was working on my zine titled "No Profound Words". I was very happy the way I created each page and pasted the words. I am very proud in how it looks. Once I get the cable to upload the images I will post it. I was looking through some images that I had taken awhile back and I like how this melted ice-cream made the shape of a heart. It always makes me smile when so unexpected a heart transforms.

Raining Once Again

I don't have much to do today. It is freakiiin cold and it is raining. I have decided to write everyday on this blog until I buy a new journal. All my genuine thoughts are going to be written on this. What can I say I am trying to get my creative fuels in full gear today. I have been postponing the rewrite process of my novel. I don't know if anyone out there has written a draft that you put away, and you know that there's a purpose for writing it. That is how I am feeling about my novel. I read chapter one today and I realize that I am still in luv with it. The beginning the voice of my young heroine. It is so great. Once I brush up on a few things I will post it up here. This will give my character some life. In other things I am putting together a poetry zine. I must make my zine a little bigger. I truly adored making my first 20 mini zines. I gave them all away with magnets. And Now I am going to venture off making another zine. I gotta help my mom make tamales right now..I 'll tomorrow (hopefully)..

Day 1

It's a New Year...
There's so many dreams and goals I want to accomplish, but at the same time the endless possibilities of not knowing what life will have in store for me. You get to start fresh on 1-1-11 and today was such a perfect day it was sunny. The sky was so clear that I could see the observatory from my house. That's how clear LA was without the fog. I keep blasting on my ipod "Arcade Fire's album Suburb"...(I highly recommend that album)...The song I continuously play on repeat is "Empty Room"...I must find the video so I can share this awesome song with you.

I like the lines that say "Said Your Name In An Empty Room.." the guitar playing is soo sweeeet...
I am looking forward to this yeaaar...
