Now everybody asks me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear (They say love hurts)
But I know (It's gonna take the real work)
Nothing's perfect, but it's worth it after fighting through my fears
And finally you put me first
.. im just saying. that if you need a feel good song.. you should listen to "love on top" - beyonce. its on repeat atm. #justsayin
social media analytics. SO USEFUL. people ask me why i still take courses when im already graduated and done my programs. my answer? why stop learning. youre never too old and its never too late for some "enrichment." next up.. SEO!!! the inner geek in me is finally showing through. and im damn proud.
been MIA lately, my apologies. im plotting my master plan. taking over the word before i hit 30. obviously but seriously. i havent gone out much WITH THE EXCEPTION of the saturday birthday shenanigans (souju, vodka, and red dtragons OH MY!). im saving. for my upcoming trips!
like my lola, i get anxiety when i dont ride a plane for a period of time. whats coming up? a baby trip to the vegz with some girlfriends to celebrate a 25th bday. vegas vs marzperez take 3. LETS DO THIS.
so uhh.. anyone looking for a marketing and/or communications intern? how about PR? ugh. my patience is starting to become thin. need i remind future employers that i am AWESOME? and.. ya. thats all i got. isnt that enough?!.. well, it really should be =P
i always thought cooking was lame. turns out, i can actually do it. hah. im one step closer to being wifey material har har har. i dont really like following recipes. it probably stems from the fact that i hate following steps. in any case, i open the fridge up and i made stuff! i can make chicken!! and i made a pasta!! (thanks saghi for giving me inspiration!) i am pretty proud of myself. but dont ask me to bake. cause id screw that up nicely. im sure of it.
when a doctor doesnt know EXACTLY why i have a sharp pain on my right side it worries me. on the plus, i love all medications that include, but are not limited, to codeine. i guess this doctor wasnt completely useless.

fly.
upcoming trips that i hope to attend.. money is issue. time off? i am not too worried about.
1)
the vegas. sophia's 25th bday and i have been graciously invited. first week of november. copious amounts of drinking? dancing? im already there.
2)
london. to visit my friend, shani. it's her last year there and ultimately the last year i can go and have free accommodation. and i want to see the eastern part of europe before i turn 30. YES.
3)
harry potter land and disney world. my X birthday is coming up. and i need to celebrate. magic kingdom? sorting hat? OH MAN. my youth is slipping between my fingers. i think experiencing these things when we're a bit older is kinda fun. it gives a new experience than what i did when i was younger..
.. and so the saving begins.

sure thing.
Even when we're down to the wire, babe
Even when it's do or die
We can do it, baby, simple and plain
Cause this love is a sure thing
Even when it's do or die
We can do it, baby, simple and plain
Cause this love is a sure thing
im such a sucker for slow jams...

just a dream.
i tried and failed horribly at writing travel posts. le sigh. but in all fairness, i was too busy having fun? getting off with new friends and exploring the cities. YES! haha
so you know how when people travel abroad for a period of time they come back home and feel/act differently? well, when i left for my euro trip i said to myself that this wouldnt happen because im not one of those people - those people who go off to "discover" themselves. it seems a little bit odd, non? even as i type it im laughing.
but the truth of the matter is, is that i did. i came home a little bit different. a little more wiser. a little more smarter. and most definitely a little more stronger (not physically... although i did walk quite a bit if that counts?)
theres a bunch of little discoveries i made about myself this month but i think i'll just hone in on one. i learned that im quite a stress case. as carefree and easy going as i seem to be, when it comes down to it - im a bit of a freak. i had this nasty habit of needing to know what time it was constantly and i always wanted to be doing something.. i liked to be preoccupied and i enjoyed the hustle and bustle of life. and it bothered me because i realized that i had no idea how to relax. i mean, when people say relax the image of sleeping on a beach comes to mind - margarita in hand, obvs. and ya, i guess thats a form of relaxation but i couldnt really close my mind; my mind wouldnt stop thinking about work, drama, boys etc.
it took me three weeks but it finally happened. i learned how to relax properly. i stopped trying to make to do lists of the days events and i didnt ask for the time as much. i ate when i was hungry NOT because it was time to eat and i slept when it was dark.. or maybe even when it was daylight (i like to live dangerously). i learned that i really shouldnt take things so seriously. it is what it is. its been my mantra for some time and sadly for the last little while i havent been following it.
three cheers for self reflection? three cheers for adventure? three cheers for finally understanding what it means to calm the fuck down.

Europe adventures: Athens
Athens. ATHENS!!!!!
There's this place called plaka. Its one of the oldest places in Athens. And.. I'm in love. The cobble stone walkways, the buildings on either side of me with unique windows, the food that gets me full off 5 euro when in reality is worth so much more!! I like. It's relaxing and there are tourists everywhere. It makes me laugh. I rarely hear the English language. Its like people are here from France, Spain, or even other parts of Greece.
You know the acropolis and all those old rocks you hear about? Ya. I visited those. It's pretty sweet considering these rocks have been around for a while..like 500BC. It's kind of a trip. Insert giddy art history major happy face.. Now. I saw one of the many statues of Aphrodite. She's my gave greek god. Which is strange cause she's the goddess of love.. And is associated with the color, pink (in north American adaptations of this Greek goddess). Both things I do not particularly enjoy. Har har har.
Like I've said before.. It's hot. Like really hot. So hot that I end up chillin in my hostel for a period of time to avoid the heat. My shoulders are starting to peel. Im less pretty with this happening. Rage. And wearing pants is no bueno. I attempted to wear leggings this morning for our trip to the ancient agora and such. Ya. Big mistake. Leggings and an oversized tee is classic marzperez but when I'm here.. Oh man. It's just not happening.
Last night we had to share a room with a person. You know, typical hostel style. I got scared. It was a boy. Who I'm sure is very nice but dude. When you arrive at midnight when I'm about to fall asleep.. Ya. Youre gonna freak the crap out of me. I'm just chilin in my bed and bam! Door is open. Hahahaha I was like ummm hi?! Cause really what can yo do. I also chatted up some people in the lobby. Ugh. I never realized how socially inept I am. Hahaha!! I forget what it's like to have a conversation with a person without me asking what size they need or if they need help with anything. Hmm.. Clear indication that I work far too much.
In any case, goodbye Greece. Thanks for all the calamari, tzaziki, and spinach pie I could consume in three days. Now, itslia.. Here we gooooo!
