My first Independence Day weekend in the U.S

kk
im so mad. I wrote this really long post and now it got lost
but i think aileen did a far better job of updating you with our random adventures and such.
Who would’ve thought after my 6 years in the US, my first independence day spent on American soil…. Aileen and I would be spending a lazy afternoon in maximopino cafe in our greenwich village, eating pizza and drinking tea. (the pizza here is delicious and they have gelato as well!! )
We then decided to go back home, get festive and head over to battery park to watch the fireworks… umm major fail since the fireworks looked like “spurtts” of colored water. I think the ferries and party boats were a better attraction. But the view was still great as the statue of liberty stood in the distance and reminded us of what it is to be american AND I got to spend my first Fourth of July with my bestie <3. My AMERICAN bestie to be exact.. haha
Backtracking, Friday night Aileen and I jetted off to BK to get outfits for the night, her first weekend of being 21! Much to our disappointment we couldn't find anything appealing and we were further disappointed to find out that american apparel did not have an asymmetrical long sleeve dress. BUT all was not in vain, bouncing from Brooklyn to SoHo… we stumbled upon this really cute boutique and while browsing the hangers, I found this super cute grey asymmetrical dress which they had available in white and orange as well! So we ended up getting fab matching dresses, grey for me and white for aileen – since all we ever wear is grey/black/white/red/purple.

- i cant seem to upload images right now but i will attach images of the matchy dresses as well as frm independence day-

Time is moving fast and it feels like summer will be over soon. Summer romances, flings, escapades and internships.
Work has been quite stressful, we are pushing time for the film festival which is NEXT WEEK!
As the reality hits me over and over again, I find myself close to hyperventilating. Despite a month of planning ahead and booking venues, I still find myself scrambling for venues for the music video showcase and for a private reception. I'm not going to lie, I think I actually enjoy the stress. Despite taking on this unpaid internship and failing to find a paying job as a waitress, cashier, hostess, whatever I can get… this just might be the most rewarding internship I've had so far. With each internship I've always learned something new about myself and come to realizations of what path I want to pursue. As I fixed my resume to apply for summer jobs, everything had to do with events or some sort of organizing. I came to the conclusion that I am most definitely going into event planning or whatever I can in the communications/media field. I always had doubts about going into -in my opinion- a superficial/materialistic field… but it seems to be the one thing I can focus my energy on without getting bored. Its the one thing that seems to come naturally to me to the point that I am consumed by my work and totally fine with it .
Also, after years of wanting to live a traditional life of finding my soulmate, getting married, having kids, living happily ever after…. I've decided that even though I'm certain I found my soulmate (but I am not with him), the hurt and pain of relationships isn't worth it… as much as I want kids, I don't want to be a single mother and as of now, I love my single, independent life and as much as I say I'm not a feminist, I don't want to live a life of dependency and with that said.. i'd rather live alone.

k time for me to go now but in my next blog post, i'll link up my personal blog (mostly video posts, i get too lazy to blog sometimes) AND reveal the venues for the afterparties for the film festival with web links to venues, photos and blurbs.

hope your summer is amazing!!
