Mmm … OOIAJ is seriously back in my life.

See what’s behind me? Blankets and pillows. All Jenny’s. She’s still sleeping in the living room. I would too but for some reason, my bed keeps calling my name.

I have decided to not go to class today. That’s the reason for the glasses and gross hair. It’s just one class so … it shouldn’t matter, right?

I have decided it’ll be my catch up day. Read my chapters because there is just so much!

But right now, I’m watching 40 Most Shocking Breakups on VH1 and catching up on my Google Reader. I didn’t even know half of these people aren’t together anymore. Ridiculous.

I wish there were no divorces, like how it was back in the days. You are set with that person … forever. That’s probably the reason I’m afraid of commitment.

Whoops. Did I just say that to the world?

Do you hear that? It’s me crying.

This morning I checked Living Social as I do everyday (along with Groupon) and saw the deal for Whole Foods.

I went to pull out my wallet but realized I forgot it back home! So I was like, you know, I can get this later.

Well I was wrong as wrong as can be. When I got home. This stared back at me.

I have lost my chance so now I am crying like a baby. Someone share with me?

********************************************

Last night before bed, I made me and Jenny OOIAJ. Well hers was more along the lines of OOIAC since she didn’t have a jar.

She’s never had it before so hopefully she liked what I made her. I would ask her but right now she’s sprawled on the couch taking a nap. If she doesn’t like it, at least I tried, eh?

For some reason, our apartment has been hot so we slept in the living room. Her on the couch and me on the floor. It’s kind of scary when you’re watching Ghost Whisperer. It’s super dark and you see shadows EVERYWHERE!

Sadly, when I did go to sleep on the floor, the carpet itched me terribly so I slept in my room, on my bed instead. I rather sweat then itch all over.

********************************************

Today the shuttles were crowded. So crowded that the bus driver couldn’t stop by the other two stops to pick people up.

There was this guy that was already sitting in his seat, looked up at me and said,

Do you want my seat?

I politely declined. And he made sure I was for sure okay with it.

Who does that nowadays?

No one really. It’s pretty much me, me, me. I want this and I want that.

So he made me see that not everyone are jerks. That there are some nice people around.

That chivalry is not dead.

I’m not saying that if you don’t give up your seat, you’re a jerk. But that there are people out there still that are gentlemen.

I’m old fashion. I like when a guy holds a door for me or say please and thank you. It’s polite. It’s what I learned growing up. But it seems to me, it’s dying.

Don’t worry men. I’m not only saying negatives about your race. It’s the same for women too.

I just wish the world was a better place. That people are polite.

I would love a knight in shining armor, please!

********************************************

Someone made me cry today. Like really cry. Not the kind of crying I did for Whole Foods. She was being rude to me always and I couldn’t take it anymore.

But I got free Pappasito’s from the CPE so I feel better now.

Time to study. I am so behind!

Today was the day of the show! Ahhhh!

We woke up really tired.

But we didn’t have to really get ready so we went out the door in a jiffy pop!

People were everywhere and everything was just crazy.

We walked straight to the back to the De Lorenzo station.

Tammy started on her make up. She was the lucky one. Jenny and I never got our make up done professionally … so now I can’t cross that off my bucket list. Sad? Yes. Very much so.

We had more work done on our hair. Mine more than the others.

Make up free, baby, all day erryday!

They did some highlights? Lowlights? on one side. Having foil in your hair is kind of annoying but so exciting since it was my first time.

They washed it out, and this is the color that came out.

Luckily they didn’t leave it that way.

I went through another process of that until they got the desired color and these were the colors. They look dark but the result is very bright.

They fed us again too!! I picked a Turkey sandwich and added lettuce in it with regular chips and Sierra Mist. I drank a little less than half of that soda. Bubbly really does hurt my throat.

This is our after picture. With it dyed and cut after being on stage.

Can you see Tammy’s make up? Her hair got lightened and put in some dark blonde highlights.

I got my hair lightened (my hair is very very dark) and they put in fire red and copper red on one side underneath my hair.

We weren’t sure what happened with Jenny’s but she got some chocolate highlights put in and we think they darkened her hair underneath.

Marvin layered all of our hair the way it would work with our hair and our face. He is amazing. Our hair feels so light now. And he kept our length. This man is a genius!

Us three with our new hair.

You like?

On the left is me and Molly. The one who recruited us and helped dye our hair and style!

On the right is Matt and I. He helps them out and he brought us our lunch too. And he never got it wrong!

Oh the outfit I wore were jeans and boots with a “I  De Lorenzo“ t-shirt and a “I  De Lorenzo” sash. Uhh .. yeah I lost an arm. But FUN STUFF!

On the left is me and Doug. He helped dye and style our hair.

On the right is Tammy, Jenny, Marvin, and me. He was the one who put layers into our hair. He was also the star of the show. He talked on stage and performed his magical-ness of cutting hair in 7 minutes type thing.

Afterward, we went home and took better close up pictures of our hair. You can see more of the redness of my hair in each picture. But if I show you the bottom bottom … it’s fire red! Eek.

Jenny and I wanted to get feathers in our hair since Friday and since we obviously couldn’t do it Saturday and this morning, we were in the mood to now.

We called the lady and she hooked us up.

On the left is Jenny. She got an orangey black one on top right and a black and white one on the bottom left.

On the right is me. I got an orangey black one on top and a black and white one on the bottom. I got it all on the same side since they put red on only one side. It would look weird if they were on the opposite.

My hair is burned out! But it was fun. I sent pictures to my brother and sister. I wonder what they’re going to say. Eeek. Scared!

I wonder what my parents will say!

I wonder what people in school will say.

I guess we shall see!

Time to relax.

I hope your weekend was just as eventful!

Last night, I ventured out to find a dress to wear to my friends’ engagement party. After, much looking around, I found one. It was from Macy’s for $17.99, I believe.

Te gusta?

Sadly, it won’t be worn Sunday.

I got a call from De Lorenzo Friday night, to confirm our hair appointment Saturday for their show Sunday and Monday.

Since I have school Monday, I can only do Sunday and well … yeah, it clashes with the engagement party as well as football practice.

Sadly, I already knew about the show earlier than the engagement party so, I have to go with what I committed to first, right?

Once in a lifetime, right? Plus, I can cross off getting my hair did professionally and getting my make up did professionally off my list.

This is what the show is called.

Today was prep day, not the real show. It was a Tammy, Jenny, and me type bonding moment. We got there at around 10:45am. Matt found us and took us to the Model Check-In.

I felt like a rockstar. I will never be a model model. Have you seen my body? So, I felt very happy.

They gave us checkerboard wristbands and made us fill in the consent form. Check and Check.

Since they were busy with coloring the other girls’ hair, they told us to hang around and be back by a certain time. We walked across the street to the Riverwalk and ate at the Food Court. It is the devil over there. Reminds me why I never eat at Food Courts if I have the choice. So fatty, so bad for you foods.

We headed into Macy’s too since we had time to spare and we wanted to know if we can find anymore amazing dresses like the one up top. I bought this blue tee for $4.99!

Then it was time to head back, and head back we did. Then we waited for a little while for our turn.

I was the first to go into the chair. I have “virgin hair” as they call it. So I was hell-a scared.

Reping that De Lorenzo swag (Why do people say swag? Just now tried it and uh .. it’s awkward.)

That’s Molly in the back. She was the one that found us.

They did highlights for Tammy (Left) and Jenny (Right).

They even fed us since we were there for so long. Us three just got a jumbo hot dog each. That would be Matt putting the food together in the picture on the left; on the right is our hot dogs and condiments. Yum!

They even have those chairs at the salons to wash out your hair and that’s where we all went to get that done. That would be Tammy getting her hair washed and conditioned and what not. The one doing so is Douglas. He is hilarious. His little comments make me laugh. I was sad for him though because one of the girl models ate his food (who didn’t order any) and he got none. That sucks major boo boo!

Our Before Pictures

              

Our After Pictures

I don’t see any difference with my hair but it could be because they know I was scared that I’ve never dyed my hair before so they went super easy on it. Maybe tomorrow they can make it more bam bam bam!

We’re told they aren’t done yet, so we shall see what else they have in store for us tomorrow before the show!

This picture does not do this girl justice but her hair was gorgeous! The one that did it for her, his name is Marvin. He is so funny. Always so excited and happy! Love it!

The goodie bag they gave us for being their models! The bag’s material is amazing. I love it. They gave us shampoo, conditioner, and treatment for colored hair.

Their products are amazing. My hair feels amazing. They don’t test on animals and it’s organic! If I was rich, I would buy everything they have because my gosh … I love it!

See how big this place is? Picture it 500 times this size. That’s how big this show is going to be. AND they have rooms turned into classrooms outside of this room for people to learn more! It’s all so dang interesting!

Now I can cross off getting my hair professionally done off my bucket list!

Can’t wait to see what tomorrow has in store for us!

Lately, songs have been stuck in my head like you can’t even imagine. I’ll go on singing them and uh … I don’t even know the words. Yep … I look ridiculous whenever that happens. Pretty much ALL. THE. TIME.

If I do get the words correct and people ask me who sang it, Sorry, I can’t tell yah.

Anyway, this is what’s going on right now. Oh, you know. Just sitting here in my living room sipping on some TAZO green tea. I don’t have any mugs (sad) so it’s one of the jars I use to make OOIAJ. It’s too hot to handle … that’s the reason for the towel.

Ghetto. I know.

Tammy’s here for the weekend and she’s educating me about diabetes and carbs and all that other junk. She’s a pharmacist student so she needs to learn all of these things and reiterating it all to me helps her remember it.

Eye-opener!!

While she reads me little facts, I’m catching up on other blogs and whatever else I need to catch up on.

I love lazy nights like these where we’re not consumed by social gatherings. A chance to just relax and do what we want … though Tammy is studying … but it’s what she wants.

I think.
