I thought I was already out of tears to cry this year... but apparently I still had some left.
My sister left today =( We had an incredible time together. I wish she could have stayed longer, it's hard being an adult.
The good news is that my friend Isaac is in town for two weeks, my friend Cris will be here this Saturday and will come back next Friday to spend the weekend with me and my friends Leandro and Cintia are coming for Thanksgiving! Yay! =) I love guests!

Diuli's in the house =)
My sister is here, I'm just so happy! We are having a great time doing all the tourist activities, after all I'm kind of a tourist myself.
I've been everywhere, my favorite was the Kodak Theatre tour, it's amazing. They let you sit on the chairs and step on the stage so you can have the feeling of an Oscar night. I love it! That alone was a dream come true to me.
The view form the Griffith Observatory is beautiful! The beaches are amazing... she's loving it. I wish she could stay longer.
I finally got a TV and a Playstation 3, my apartment is almost done, I'm very excited about it. It's looking really cozy.
I was summing up how much I spend in the move and it's not bad at all. Between shipping my things, gas and hotel I spent a total of $815.00. Better than the $1,000.00 I would pay just to ship the car alone. Good deal!! =)

What's new?
My sister gets here tomorrow. Yay, I can hardly wait.
Work is good, not stressful at all! Maybe that's what I need for now, I've been through enough stress this year already.
Saturday was Samia's 30th birthday, she had a nice dinner party at a friend's house in La Canada, about 40 minutes from the city. The place is up in the hills, at night gets totally foggy, I couldn't see a thing. It's pretty cool, just like the vampire movies haha. I met a bunch of cool people, all of her friends and family were very nice.
I later went to Santa Monica and met up with Sam (the intern from Sony who's also living here), we went to an Irish pub and a karaoke bar, it was so much fun. Slowly I'm meeting new people and making new friends =)
Everybody I've met so far has very cool jobs in the entertainment industry, like Samia's neighbor who's a songwriter and Sam's friend who's an extra in Dexter.
On my way back from work today I saw the LAPD in action. They were arresting a guy, there were many police cars and a helicopter. I love it!
So far so good! I'm loving the LA life =)

The job is nice, people are nice, but nothing compared to my Sony family, specially no one like my Blueberry Muffin!! =)
Life is good!!

Eaaaasy
The first day of work was very nice, people were very friendly and the work was extremely easy! I know all the lingo and how everything works, so it was a piece of cake. The guy who trained me was impressed of how quickly I got it =)
I thought I had it easy at Sony, but here each employee has their own TV on their desk, and we can watch whichever channel we want haha. I was watching the food network all day.
Things couldn't be going any better. Thank you dear Baby Jesus!!

Busy Bee
I've been all over the place in the last few days. It's good to have days off. I finally got my license plate and driver's license yesterday. Yay! Yesterday I also went jogging at the Runyon Canyon, it's really hard!! Lots of hills, my legs are sore.
Today I went jogging in Malibu, what a beautiful place! I wish I lived there. Then I went to the Jack Johnson's concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The place is really cool, it's all open, people can bring their own food and have pic-nics. It's a great vibe! The concert was amazing, the guy is fantastic!

Brrrr
It's getting cold here. It's around 65... it's good for a change, plus I get to use all my winter clothes haha.
I finally got my fridge today and was able to go grocery shopping. I went to Costco, the store is huge!! I also went to "Ralphs"which is the L.A's Publix. It's very nice, but I will sure miss my Publix.
Tomorrow I get a California Driver License =) I will officially be a California girl then. I was able to keep my insurance at the same rate. Let's see how much it will cost to change the car registration...

First night
First night at the new place =) I'm extremely happy!
Power got connected today, Internet will be connected on Wednesday.
I've been running around like crazy, buying all the stuff for the house, returning stuff, it's a non ending process. It feels so good to buy everything new. This is the second time I do this in my life and the funny thing is that I bought some of the same stuff I used to have. I guess my taste doesn't change that much...

Sunday
No matter where you are, Sundays are always Sundays, it has a different vibe, it smells like Sunday =) You just step outside and you know it's Sunday!
I got a bed today, yay! Tomorrow they will turn the power on so I will finally be able to sleep at my new place. It's so nice here at Samia's house though, I think I wanna stay a little longer LOL. Christian is coming over and we are gonna go have Yogurt, probably at Pinkberry, I love that place, there are stores everywhere, I'm so glad. I'm also addicted to the In-N-Out burgers, they are so yummy! I promise I'll change my lifestyle, I'll start to eat healthier and exercise. I just have to get all these cravings out of my system first haha.

Shopping
Today I went shopping for things for my new house. It feels so good =) I went to Ikea and used part of the gift card my dear friends gave me before I left, I went to Target and used the gift card Cindy gave me, and then I went to Marshalls and spent my own money hahaha. Tomorrow I'm gonna go get a bed. Probably at Macy's since there's no City Furniture or Rooms to go around here.
There's everything else though. I even saw a Krispy Kreme =) I went to the Ikea store in Burbank, the mall there is huge! Everything here is big. My GPS started to act up and I panic for a bit... thank God I have my Iphone. What would I do without all this technology? How did our parents survived? LOL
I'm now getting ready to go to a b-day party at a karaoke place in Koreatown, yay I love karaoke!!

I know a place where the grass is really greener =)
Today was a great day!!! I got hired by DirecTv, I start next week. I also found a place to live.
After looking at 10 different places I finally found one with everything I needed, except for a refrigerator hahaha, the apartments here don't always come with a refrigerator... But it's all good, I'm gonna look for one on craigslist.
They are giving me half off on the first month, so that is the money I will use for a refrigerator and a bed LOL Lucky me!
I had lunch at Pink, a yummy hot dog place, went to Venice beach and saw all the lunatics. It's so much fun. They probably think I'm crazier than them, because I walk around with a smile on my face. Everyone is so nice! I was meant to be here, I'm beyond happy!! I did happy hour with Christian, and had a great time! His friends are really nice and guess what??? I'm going to be their neighbor!!! Yay!!
Life is definitely good =)
