Uncalled for Adventure Wednesday!

Well yesterday was fun --

Of course I mean that in the most sarcastic but not really kind of way. So this is what happened:

I'm on the way to my train platform when all of a sudden I look up the board that usually says my boarding time to see this

Top: Board that lied, it's really an 1hr 15min
Bottom: Photo of me riding the Silver Streak!
Yea. Quite frustrating. So I'm standing there thinking to myself, "Am I really going to have to wait for an hour?" I look around and I see the same stare of confusion and frustration in everyone's faces. I turn around and a man who claims to be from the same station as me asks, "Hey, do you wanna take the bus with us?" and my first initial reaction is, "ZOMG, STRANGER -- nooo it's okay :)" then he wonders off with his friends another man and woman, both of which I recognize from my train. He takes one last look at me and I finally budge. "YOLO" so to speak, course if I had been murdered last night I could of witnessed if YOLO was true, LOL. But I didn't, instead I met 3 new people, Steve, Elizabeth & Marc.


Long story short --

Hopped onto the Silver Streak to go to Pomona where the lovely Elizabeth took me and Steve to our station. I left LA at around 6:30 didn't get home till 9:30 -

Still happy pappy! Even though I was starving & spilled Chipotle in my bag
HAHAHA ------ oh man. Monday, woke up early to get stuck in 2 hour traffic. Tuesday, got stuck in 3 hour traffic. Wednesday, stranded in LA and it took me 3 hours to get home.

You know what the funny part is? When we got to our station, all the cars were gone except for me and Steve's, leaving us to believe that there must of been a train that got there before us. Ay nako. But anyways, it was a fun adventure. If there's anything I got out of it is was learning the Foothill Transit.

Also wanted to mention that I am not a firm believer of taking off with strangers to try and get home, the only reason why I even went with the group was because of the girl otherwise I wouldn't have gone. And besides, if you see these people every day on their way to work... chances are they aren't going to kill you. Had I never seen these people, I would of waited that hour. COURSE, for all we know they could of just waited an extra 20 seeing that all the cars were gone.

Anyways, that was my adventure.

Future Krislam, I hope you've already moved out.

Love, Present Me.

Keep Goin'

Oh man, I can't believe it's going to be September next week. Time flies when you're having the time of your life :]

Lately, it's been very busy both in and out of work. I recently stepped into (and sampled) the shoes of an "art director" and by no means do I claim to be a director but I definitely got a taste of it. I've been working very closely with our intern at the office to get our client's report out and through it all I learned to be a better teacher, how to communicate better & how to be patient. It's been a great (and crazy) 2 weeks learning something new, it's crazy that working with an intern can teach you so many things about yourself and not even design. I'm very thankful that I was able to dabble into that for a quick moment, I'm hoping that in a few years I'll be an awesome director much like the ones I work with now!

Apart from work, I had plans for every weekend for the month of August -- it was intense! I don't mean to sound exclusive but I honestly had things to do every weekend and it's been so much fun x]

I still have so much to blog about:

  1. Hitting my first year at Hypothesis
  2. My first car meet
  3. Subsequential issues that came from the car meet, LOL 
  4. My trip to San Diego
  5. Overall reflection of myself
  6. My 365 
  7. Apartment hunting (yes it's back on!) 

but I'll get to that when I get a chance, I think this weekend I'll be sticking my butt at home x] OH just realized 3 day weekend, woo! So yea will definitely be updating blogs, pictures & personal projects this upcoming weekend.

I definitely need a breather! 

But for now I gotta hash our this website project for tomorrows presentation with the President & CEO -- Go Wolfpack!

'Till next time!

Boshys take over Disneyland!

So I decided that I would take a vacation day and take little sibling to Disneyland since I haven't taken her yet. It was our first time going together by ourselves! It was honestly a lot of fun :) As if I thought being with Jourel and Tony was amazing, Maggie was both of them wrapped up into one little person <3

It was a little hot & a tad bit crowded but we still had fun :) it was a lot of firsts for Maggie; Haunted Mansion, Captain EO & all of Cars Land. I also got her started on her first lanyard! Bought her first pin, Grape Soda soda cap! 

I'm debating if I should purchase Maggie a season pass whether it be basic or deluxe. It'll be nice to just go to Disneyland whenever we feel like it x] 



Cheers to many more Disney adventures with little Boshy! I love her so much! :3
