12 Things: an Update

So I was just thinking the other day about my 12 things. Honestly I haven't been paying attention to this list. I've been too busy...  living. Then I went back to the list and was actually pretty glad that I have achieved some already! Woo.

Enjoy Coachella 2014 with my friends & brother & The PillowMan
Travel abroad to somewhere new
Lower my debt by half or more

Coachella (in pictures)


I'm still having Coachella withdrawals... so are my friends... well maybe except the Pillow. He's busy in Switzerland... but I'm pretty sure he is still listening Martin Garrix non-stop. Oh my love.

Looking at these pictures lets me reminisce the fun times I had during this 3-day festival. The actual festivity made me forget about the housing drama that occurred earlier on Day 1. I warn you, booking a house from Craigslist is a NO-NO. I was so naive to trust this fucker who scammed me. Anyways, long story short, we stayed at a nice hotel where we met Martin Garrix, clueless Rob met Zedd while checking in & Alessandra Ambrosio while enjoying the pool, we all enjoyed the noise of my brother's snoring, we killed 2 dozens of ramen noodle that was made with a Keurig machine, ate endless of PB&J and had the convenience of the shuttle bus in front of the hotel. I guess misfortunes can have a positive light to it... Except my bank account. Well then, Memories are Priceless.

Day 1
Saw/Listened: Aloe Blacc, AFI, Ellie Goulding, Chromeo, The Glitch Mob, Martin Garrix, Zedd, Outkast
 Aloe Blacc
Me and my bro. We haven't been to a music festival in a long time. The last time was probably Warped Tour years ago.
 Ellie Goulding
Giddy seeing Zedd.

Day 2
Saw/Listened: Kid Cudi, MGMT, Lorde, Sleigh Bells, Pharrell Williams, Muse
 Brotherly love?
 JAY Z!!!!!!!!!
Pharrell's show made me happy

 Day 3
Saw/Listened: Krewella, some DJ at the Do Lab, Calvin Harris, Beck, Duck Sauce
LOL. This was the aftermath from the jumping pose Rob did.
 The girls next to Gaby, my brother's girlfriend, were snorting coke and smoking weed out of an Apple. Sad. 
 Calvin Harris!
 Duck Sauce




Thank you for my lovies for coming along and enjoying Coachella with me. Till next year.
