Best Weekend Ever!

Well hello there everyone! How is everyone today?
 I know no one cares about this post, but I was bored in my room, so I just wanted to write something on my blog for me to go back and remember what I have done. hehe

All this weekend was so much FUN! Friday, I went out with my lovely cousins to eat dinner at their house and then hang out to watch the movie "Tyler Perry's Single Moms Club"

It is the most hilarious movie ever! I loved it so much.

Well anyways I loved all the characters in the movie! Mostly William Levy who plays Manny in the movie. He is the most beautiful man (haha). Yeah here is an image. ;)

Saturday, I didn't really do anything, just homework and went to Target to get some things I needed.

Then on Sunday, I went to church, eat Hawaiin food (Best food ever), and go out for my friends little brothers' birthday who turned 7! We went to Color Me mine! For those of you who don't know... it is a place where you choose a ceramic sculpture you'd like to paint and you choose your own colors to paint it. It is so relaxing. Finally, we went to Yogurt Mill! BEST YOGURT PLACE EVER! DELICIOUS!!!!!

Here is what I wore on Sunday!

Yeah, well this was my fun weekend that I enjoyed very much with great company! Comment down below what you did on your weekend or what do you like to do on the weekends? :)

Happy Almost APRIL FOOLS!

Disney College Program questions 2014!


Well hello there! I am writing this post because I have been wanting to do this for the longest time, but I got interviewed for the DCP (Disney College Program)! Yes I went through everything you had to do from applying to a web based test and then the phone interview.

I first found out about it when I went to my first year of college, but never look at it again until my third year of college. I looked at it again in the Disney website. As I started doing research about other people attending and how their experience went. It made me even more excited thinking about being at the HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH! Like who wouldn't want to do this?! 

Anyways, I was so excited that I applied to this because I was thinking of all the great opportunities I would have with this program; from getting work experience, living on my own, making new friends and many more. So, yeah I had my phone interview on March 4, 2014 it took about 30 minutes. 

So then came the looooong wait! I waited a few weeks to get an email to see if I got accepted or not. 2-3 weeka passed by and I got the email...DUN DUN.. I did not get accepted. It was the most devastating day of my life because I was so EXCITED for this, but then I thought.. I will try again once they add the applications again. There's another chance right? It was a sad day but I was happy I got through all the application and interview experience.
