Muni Crash at West Portal

Yesterday, as I was leaving work a client came wanted to tan. She was sweet and said it's OK & she'll come back later. But I stayed longer and allowed her to tan anyways since she was already at the salon and it's was the least I could do. good karma coming... A little time went by and I was able to go home. I did what I usually do, walk up to Union & Van Ness got on the bus and got off at Van Ness Station to muni. It was a short wait then the L came. But before I went on I had second thoughts but I figured it was a sign the L came because I need to go to Safeway near Tavaral & 19th. It was a normal afternoon ride, not very crowd, made the usual stop then at Forest Hill station the driver inform us their was an incident at West Portal station and we had to wait about 15 minutes or so. A few moments went by, some people got off but I didn't think anything of it. I was almost home at West Portal. Then the driver suggests the incident is a little major and the train wasn't moving. Still I'm very calm because there was nothing pressing I had to do. Luckily, it was a short walk from Forest Hill to my house in West Portal. I was curious to find out what all the fuss in West Portal was. As my walked the station, I heard sirens and see tons of police cars, fire trunks & ambulance. People were everywhere and it was chaos. I walked closer and saw that two muni trips run into each other! It was the trains before mine. The crash was so frighten and the passengers from the trains getting medical attention looked horrified. So...... if I didn't stay later to tan the client, I would have been all those trains. And if I didn't get on the L train, I wouldn't be able to walk home from Forest Hill to West Portal. 48 people injured & 4 severely, I hope they are all OK & well.


What do you make of this?

Julie and Julia

I am anxiously awaiting to see "Julie and Julia", just thrilled! I love both Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. Both are amazing actresses so to see them in one moving is exciting. Also, one of my greatest childhood memories was watching Julia Child with my mom. This summer I've been really inspired to learn more about cooking, baking and dinner parties. All lovely reasons to be around the people you love. I think this movie will also light the fire of the blogger inside of me. You heard it here first, after this movie: Everyone will have a blog especially girls! I'm happy I'll be ahead of the curve.

What summer movie are you excited to see
or Have seen?

Kevin's Rasta Cupcakes

This summer, I've been getting more interested in baking, especially cupcakes. So for Kevin's birthday, I wanted to do something really special. The cupcakes were super fun to decorate, we did it together. And they tasted amazing, for baking them in a convention oven because I don't have a standard oven. It's my little oven that could.... make miracles and tasty food =)






Reality Show Junkie!

Real Housewives of Atlanta Countdown 16 days!! I love NENE <3>

Big Brother is back on
& I couldn't be more excited. I've seriously watched every season, I'm obsessed! Don't ask me why, It just is what is it. I usually have a favorite towards the middle of the game. It's only been one episode and first impression are hard to determine. I think Jesse being back gives him a total advantage. But it's a mental and physical game so we'll see. I'm already annoyed with Natalie. Lying about her age will bite her in the butt. She's 24 year old but told the house she's 18. sureee....

Im back..Again!!

I'm jumping back on the blogging again. and hopefully this time I can stick in with them. I first thought creating a blog would be an an amazing way of some what keeping a journal, set goals, meet them and also network and communicate with family and friends. The huge problem I encountered was that many people in my social circle don't have blogs or that I know have so the chance to share was limited. I guess, this blogging is to help reach outside your physical social circle which I like. Another problem was that I was so busy with work, school and my internships.

But recently, I've beginning to understand the value of blogs and especially the growth of social media. At my internship at Graham and Associates (a public relations firm), I'm the social media intern so I'm learning so much about how the communication is changing. Along with that, I'm taking a Public Relations course during summer school and already had my first day. It's drilled in Social Media! Social Media! She talked about entering the working world and companies want to know who you are before walking in for an interview and the Intern is where they look first so I want to be able to control my own pr. lol kinda crazy

Along with making a better effort with blogging & I've got a twitter! yes...twitter! My pr teacher says it's a good idea and might help me get a good grade in the class. So trying new thing can't hurt sooo here we gooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
