John's Incredible Pizza!

If you happen to be in the Montclair area, I strongly suggest visiting a place called John's Incredible Pizza.



We went for the boys' birthday celebration.



Zach turned 1.


Luke turned 4.


Dylan turned 6.

I was pretty annoyed with the fact that we had to drive so far to go to a place that's kinda like Chuck E. Cheese's, but in reality, it's nothing like it. I would have to say it's more like Dave and Busters, only the food is better and it's cuter on the inside. Along with the many video games, they had bumper cars, glow in the dark mini golf, and virtual bowling. They had various rides and 6 differently themed rooms to eat in. Alongside, they had pizza flavors such as peanut butter, nacho, mac&cheese, and pepperoni jalapeno. They had some of the best cinnamon rolls and funnel cake ever. I plan on going back sometime in the near future.

It's always fun to be a kid again.

Hot n Cold.

"Cause you're hot then you're cold You're yes then you're no You're in and you're out You're up and you're down You're wrong when it's right It's black and it's white We fight, we break up We kiss, we make up. You don't really want to stay, no You, but you don't really want to go-o."

Story of my life. Haha, but it's ok, I like it this way.


Katy Perry. Loves her. Check her out on www.katyperryblog.com
It's pretty much my favorite thing to read these days.

Life a ball, so dance.

Greek.

Tonight at 9 pm is the Greek season premiere.


Although my brother is a strong hater of this show, due to the incorrect portrayal of the Greek system in schools, I am an avid watcher and die-hard fan. If you haven't watched this show before, I suggest you turn it to ABC Family right now. They've had an all day marathon and I haven't been able to change the channel since I got home.

So excited. I love my prime time soap operas.

CHA-lympics

The Olympics is over and the United States walked away with 36 gold, 38 silver, and 36 bronze medals, for a total of 110 medals. We're number one.



(photo and medal count courtesy of Yahoo!)
The games were inspirational. Kobe looked like a kid in a candy store when they won. Phelps broke countless records and made history. Nastia should have gotten gold in event, but all around is better, I guess. Overall, China gave an opening and closing, that the world will never forget.

On another note, the first day of school started off a little rocky. I got to school early and didn't find parking so I ended up getting to class 20 minutes late. My teachers all seem super cool. I have never been excited for an English class until now, I get to write a paper on a novel of my choice. Haha, I can't wait to go crazy with that one. I hope all of you had a great day at school too.

Keep smiling.

So Long, Sweet Summer.

School starts tomorrow, how lame. Although I'm excited to see who is in my classes, the hype of the first 2 days is mos def going to die down by Wednesday. I just wanted to recall a few of my summer highlights.

From Disneyland...


to Camping...


to Cabo...


and ending summer with a bang at Jon's...


this summer was far from wasting time. It was all about having fun, living life, and cherishing the people around me. My summer was full of laughs, cries, parties under the sky. Broken hearts, Starbucks, and making new friends. It was about keeping my friends close, but my enemies closer. Reading new books, and falling in love with fictional characters. Going to tapings and touching my favorites. I loved every second. Thanks for a wonderful summer of endless blogs and late night calls.

I wish all of you a wonderful first day of school.

Paul Rodriguez Jr. was at Active Valencia today for a signing.


I love his Jesus tattoo.







You're jealous. Don't lie.

Boy taking a picture: Hurry up he doesn't have all day!

Thank you for not being a jackass like so many famous people these days.

Mission accomplished.

Series of the Month.

There has been so much hype on the Twilight Saga that I had to sink my teeth into it and just read it already. Well, I did, and now I think I've become just as crazy and obsessed as everyone else.

I did get the whole Quadra family into the saga, so maybe there's hope for all of you.

Unless you've been living in a bubble, you would know that this series has been very popular since the day Meyers introduced us all to Bella and Edward, it was love at first read. Recently the 4th book in the series, Breaking Dawn, was released. I'm currently on the 3rd, Eclipse, one so I wouldn't be able to tell you how it is. The series is about all the fictional characters that go bump in the night, well mostly just vampires and werewolves. I'm sure you'll all fall in love once you start, you just can't stop.

Twilight is soon to be released in a theatre near you. Well not that soon, more like December.

Don't just wait for the movie, it's so much better if you read it first.

Pick up a book and read.

Christmas in August?

Okay so it may not be Christmas just yet, but the mall was decorated so well that you would want to double check your calendars to make sure you're in the right month.

Here's why:

They were filming Drake and Josh. If you don't know what that is, it's a television show that airs on Nickelodeon.


This particular set was right next to the Disney Store. In the show, this is where Josh works.


Right down the escalator is this lovely set up. Unfortunately Santa was gone, but I did catch a glimpse of Drake & Josh by the carousel.

Always exciting to have things like this happening in your pressance. Keep a look out for the episode.

J.O.N.A.S

My favorite boys are at it again. They will be starring in their very own series titled "J.O.N.A.S!", only on Disney Channel.


If you love "Living the Dream", you'll die for their new series. Or so I've heard. Haha. I'm excited, because they pretty much rock my world. Nick is totally coming out with his diabetes and every time he talks about I get really sad. Anyways, keep an eye out for the new series, I'm sure it will rock your world too.

Nick Jonas is my Edward Cullen.

Hola, Amigos!

Sorry it took me so long to post. If I wasn't so under the weather I probably would have posted the second I got home.


So, let me tell you about our trip to Cabo.

The first night we didn't do much. We had dinner at a sushi restaurant and walked around the marina. But, the second night was Villa del Palmar's Beach Party.


We picked up a Mexican. All you can eat&all you can drink is always a recipe for disaster.



The carne asada, legit.





After a long day of zip lining, we headed over to Cabo Wabo for some drinks.


The entrance of the bathrooms of Cabo Wabo did not have any doors. When you look into the men's restroom, this is what you see.

You should take Uncle Sam's advice.


When in Mexico, it's not always fun and drinks. You have to see historic places too.

Such as the famous Cabo arch. If you look at it, it kind looks like a donkey drinking water.


Daily routine:


Wake up to the pool, clean and untouched.

Go straight to the beach, which is about 10 steps away.
And no matter what we did that day, or how much we drank, the three of us would always do a "shot, shot, shot, shot, shot".


I hope you enjoyed taking a mini vacation while reading this. Cabo was an overall get away that I needed. From snorkeling, zip lining, and para sailing, it was a vacation that kept me buzzzzin the whole way through. Haha.


Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful rest of summer.
