The above meme has been reposted on my social media feed by friends and acquaintances a plethora of times now. And why not? It’s a great message that gets to the core of what a true friendship is. Per usual, quality over quantity, so how you spend your time with your friends should matter more than how many times you actually see them. Right? I’d like to think so. I’ve known my “ride or die” since college, back when we would have class together and then call each other while

A while ago I read an article about the importance of calendaring. As an Office Manager, I am obviously about that life. “To do list by themselves are useless,” it said. As someone who has yet to cross off a single item on my summer bucket list I can attest to this (learning how to swim can wait another year right?). However, I’m old school and always will be. While my Google calendar looks like the last moments of a losing game of Tetris, I will always refer back to my Daily

I am officially the only single girl in the world. At least that’s what it feels like. I am however, the only single girl left out of my friends. That’s not to say they treat me any less of a friend. I’m just saying … I’m the only single girl left out of my friends, and that means I can’t connect with them about certain things. And I obviously won’t be invited to fancy double or even triple dates. But that’s not the trouble with being single. When you’re the only single perso

The new job is kicking my ass so hard I barely have time to eat, what more blog. I’m not complaining, I’m just explaining. I swear I’ll get my shit together in time so that I can get back to the old me (just not the broke me), and make time to write and work out again. For now, here’s a few pics from the beginning of the year when I went to San Diego and L.A. More after the jump! This is the view from Ed and Rolls’ loft in DTLA. I absolutely love their place, because it has a

I’ve said this a million fucking times – my friends are incredible. So much that I often wonder what on Earth I could’ve possibly done to deserve them. Surely, I don’t do enough. There’s rarely a moment when one of them isn’t paying for my dinner, or giving me a ride home somewhere. My friends are everything I’m not. Everything I wish I could be. And they always stick up for me when I bully myself. I often question how good of a friend I am. I look at the things I’m not able

We’re already three months into 2015, but just thought I’d share some gems from this past Christmas. From family parties to friend parties to the annual Kingpin Disco event, there were lots of laughs, food, and even more alcohol. I’m truly blessed to have two families! #gallery-19494-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-19494-1 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 25%; } #gallery-19494-1 img { border: 2px so

Whoah, it’s been a while since I’ve posted photos. Matter fact, these pics were taken last year at my best friend’s cousins 18th birthday at the Sir Francis Drake in Union Square. I’ve seen this little girl grow up into a beautiful, smart young lady and am super proud of her. I unfortunately have no pics with her since she was all over the place, but here are a few others from that night.  #gallery-19443-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-19443-1 .gallery-item { f

I’ve always been one of the boys. I was raised by older male cousins, didn’t fuck (or even date) any of the homies in high school, and was always the homegirl that got invited to “Boys night out” in college. Even now, you can find me grabbing dinner or going shopping with one of my homies. This is why I never cared if the man I was dating had a gang of homegirls. Why would I? I AM one of those homegirls. One of my homies recently told me that the girl he was dating was a litt

In Loose Lips Sink Ships, I write about how friendships are just like any other relationship you have; you must maintain and respect it in order for it to flourish. I also write about how it’s not uncommon for friendships to take the backseat the second a romantic relationships starts. Unfortunately for some, friends aren’t even invited along for the ride once a significant other hops in the car. They say that real friends are people you can not talk to for months, yet pick u

Last month a few gang of us attempted to be classy, and took a day trip to Napa. I should’ve known what kind of trip it would be once a stretch Navigator picked us up. “You can dress ’em up, but you can’t take ’em nowhere nice,” Jeyel said. Yup, that sounds about right. Needless to say, it was a blast. All of us girls don’t get together as much as much often as we used to, and if you’ve ever been around all of us at the same time – you’ll understand why lol.

I was on a date the other week (second and last with “Mr. Wonderful” mentioned here), and somewhere during the conversation and tapas I mentioned how much I love pretty girls. “Especially when they have awesome personalities too. Ugh, I love them!” I exclaimed. He admired that about me. He thought it took a very secure, confident woman to appreciate other women and have girlfriends. I sure fooled him. Hah! I proceeded to tell him how it wasn’t always like that. How my best fr

I mentioned here that my friends are ruining my life by falling in love and shit. While I may be exaggerating, I’m only half joking. I’m old enough to know that once people get into relationships, friendships tend to change. However, I’ve come to accept it and have even become less selfish enough to realize that it doesn’t always have to be a bad thing. If there’s anything I learned from my last boyfriend, it’s there are certain things you cannot do and certain ways you canno

In the apartment I am currently couch surfing at there are three roommates, all of which are home. But while today feels better than yesterday, I still feel alone. Alone in the most populated city in the United States. Do you know how that feels? You guessed it – lonely. It’s not that women nowadays shouldn’t feel lonely, we’re just not supposed to admit it. Especially those who are independent, outgoing, driven, and opinionated. The stigma seems to perpetuate lonely women as
