WOWSERS. It's been so long since I've updated this. Work and school are what's been keeping so MIA lately =(. So you will probably laugh at me for my reason for posting an update. Laugh all you want, I don't care because this info I just found out is HUGE to me lol. I was watching VH1 and one of those music video commercials came on... and it's NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK FT. NE-YO!!! The whole time I was watching the video I was just like "what the f***?! shut up.... no wayyy" lol. That's freakin crazy that they make a come back after so many years. When I was a kid, my sis and I were HUGE New Kids on the Block fans...you have no idea. My mom bought us the tapes (yes, I think we even had the christmas album lol) and all this other NKoTB shit. WE EVEN HAD THE BED SET!!!! HAHA I had Joey & Jordan all over my pillow case and comforter. If you were ever a NKoTB fan, you HAVE to see this...
Hm, okay... for some reason it won't let me embed the youtube video on here. but if you can, go watch it on youtube! Joey Mcintyre still has an amazing voice. I actually really liked the song! It was a good mix of typical NKoTB and today's mainstream rnb. NKoTB still sound the same! k, I know... lame reason to update. I think I got overly excited. Here are some other updates I guess...
1) I don't think I mentioned this before, but if you don't already know... I HAVE A BOYRIEND! Haha his name is Steve, I met him at Vanguard (club in LA) through amutual friend. He's 25 (hah yeah oldie), and is currently a student at UC Irvine AND is an LTD (one of the asian frats there). It was actualy our 6 months last monday. Time goes by so fast, I can't believe it's been 6 months already. Everyone that's met him loves him... so if we ever break up, many people will be mad/sad haha. So if you haven't met him yet, you probably will someday because we're pretty inseperable (esp since we've been living together the past 3 months). He was nice enough to let me live with him for the summer so I wouldn't have to sublet! He's an awesome boyfriend, and even though he makes me mad sometimes I love him =).
2) I have a group of new best friends! So last December, I went to a mini rave with a friend. The mini rave we went to was totally unplanned and spontaneous... AND I ended up meeting my new ucla best friend AND ROOMMATE! His name is Jayson and he's awesome. I love that guy like a younger brother haha. He has these 3 friends Bryant, Sly, and Jackson and those guys became brothers to me as well. They're all single ladies!! haha so one day you will meet them as well.
3) I left school in January for personal reasons... BUT I'm going back this fall!! haha so watch for me on campus!
WOW now that I think about it, I really don't have any updates lol. Being in relationship mode has totally toned me down. YES, I've been tamed.... how sad. But I think its just because right now we're living together... so when I go back to LA, PARTY JAMIE WILL BE BACK!! haha okay, maybe not party Jamie, but the more fun and out going Jamie will be back. If I find more things to write, you'll see me back on here.... PEACE!
YES time for another xanga entry! "Why?" you may ask? I just got done watching an episode of A Shot of Love 2 with Tila Tequila. As much as I hate the show because I think Tila is just doing it to get more tv attention, I can not stop watching it. It's so stupid because everyone knows that Tila is just doing this to be on TV, and that she really dumped Bobby to get another season.
So why would I want to write an entry about Tila's show? Because at the end of the episode that I just saw, George Martinez gets eliminated. If you watch the show, you see that George is "the nice guy". He's good looking, has a hot body, and was probably THE nicest guy on the show. Everyone in the house loved him, some people even cried when he got eliminated. It makes you think, how can Tila eliminate a guy like George who's hot AND a nice? If girls could have it all in a guy, they would think they would want a guy like George, when really.... we don't. Its sad to say, but I can see exactly why George got eliminated.
So this entry goes out to "the nice guy". What is a nice guy? My definition is a guy that's willing to bend over backwards for not just a girl, but anyone. They're willing to go out of their way to make someone happy or to help someone out. I can understand why some guys enjoy being nice guys. If I was a guy, I probably would be a nice guy because I enjoy making and seeing other people happy. In general, I like doing things, even the littlest things, just to make someone's day... but at the end of the day I get the guy. YEAH I KNOW, that sounds really cocky, but the point I'm trying to make is that as a girl, I get away with being nice. Why can't guys get away with being nice? Is it really true that nice guys finish last? From lots of observation and personal experience, it is sad to say that it is true, and that nice guys usually finish last about 90% of the time.
But it really puzzles me WHY nice guys finish last. I personally LOVE getting sweet surprises. I'd probably have to say that one of the sweetest things a guy has ever done is when Kevin called me on morning and pretended like my car got messed up, when really he made a smiley face with post it notes saying on each one of them "you make me smile!" Memories like those will always stay in my heart. So yes, I do like nice guys, but why doesn't it ever work out? Jonathan, my last boyfriend, was seriously the nicest guy I've ever been with. He did everything for me and I could depend on him for anything, but yet again things didn't work out. So I'm thinking.... WHY do I get bored of nice guys?!
It is true that every girl loves "the jerk". We like a guy that is a bad ass at times, kind of cocky, and will say no to you. Its because subconsciously, girls like the challenge. We all want what we can have, because once we have it, the challenge is over, and we don't want it anymore.
WOW usually when I write my xangas, I just free write my thoughts, but for this entry I am doing way too much thinking and I feel like I will get no where with this topic haha.
Basically I just wanted to say... yes nice guys finish last, but I feel like that's only 90% of the time. For the other 10% of the time, a nice guy will come along a nice girl that will appreciate him for who he is. So guys, if deep down inside you're a nice guy, please don't change and become an asshole, because you may be missing out on a nice girl that'll treat you just as well as you can treat her.
WOW it has been OVER TWO MONTHS since I've updated this thing. SORRY!! I've been hella busy! What's new with Jamie Hernandez?! TOO DAMN MUCH TO WRITE ON HERE. Haha jk, I will eventually. But all I've got to say is that the past month has been pretty sweet =). Its crazy how new experiences can change people, and how a person can live, learn and GROW. But just wanted to say thanks to the people I've been surrounded by because not only do you all make life fun, but pretty damn interesting. I can't think of any updates off the top of my head except for that I started working full time. YEAHHH 50 hour weeks man. Welcome to the working world. I now have a full understanding why old foogies that work don't go out on the weekdays. Ever since I started working full time, all I do is wake up at 7 am, work till 9:30, go home, eat then sleep... and the same routine begins all over again. AND now I also understand why its so hard to meet someone once you're working. BUT that's not an issue for me =) haha. Even though I work hella hours, I really do love my job. The family that I work for (I've been tutoring their daughters for a year and a half now) fired their main personal assistant and hired ME! So now I pretty much work full time with them and love it. Days are long, but work is always fun, and I love those two girls as if they were my own younger sisters (they're 15 & 17 btw). ALSO I found out that I might get to go to COACHELLA with those girls this weekend!! What is COACHELLA?! you may ask? It's a HUGE 3 day concert event in palm springs with a crazy lineup featuring Jack Johnson, Justice, Above & Beyond etc. I can't really name artists off of the top of my head, but it looks pretty insane. If I go, I would be "chaperoning", but these girls are pretty much like my best friends so it would be a weekend filled with FUN!
Okay so the real reason why I decided to write a blog is because I just finished watching the movie Sydney White. I don't care what everyone else thinks, but I absolutely LOVE Amanda Bynes. He movies are so corny, yet so entertaining to me. And do you remember how back in the days, you would watch movies like She's All That, or 10 Things I Hate About You... and there would be romantic scenes where you're like "awww i wish some guy would do that to me". YES I got that reaction from Sydney White. I don't know if its cause I'm "in a good mood", but that movie def made me feel all lovey dovey. SO GO WATCH IT!
MORE UPDATES! * I am now the new ALPHA MOM for APhiO. Okay not that exciting, but I love my Alpha family. * I GOT A NEW LIL! Yeah call me a BIG whore if you want... but I love picking up new lils. She's my 3rd one, so hopefully my line will continue to get bigger. Her name is Dorothy! * I may finally have my chance at PROM. Haha more details to come.
OH and btw, that reality show I tried out for and didn't get... it was America's Prom Queen. Yeah I watched it online, I'm actually glad I didn't get pick cause that show looks bunk lol. AND if I got on that show I know I would totally own the competition. So here's my short entry. Must go to sleep since I have work tomorrow. I'll try to update this more when I have time!
I LOVE APO! This video was shown at our banquet last saturday. Excomm has to make a skit every banquet, and I felt like this was the best one I've seen in all my years in APO. & Congrats to my lil ALICE on crossing!
The past few months I've turned into a total insomniac... not being able to go to sleep till about 6 am =/ THANK GOD FOR YOUTUBE! There's always something entertaining to watch! And because of youtube, I've suddenly became interested in this year's presidential election. I've always been pretty apathetic when it came to politics because I never thought my vote could make a difference. I also never realized how catchy celebrity ads are. I have to admit, after watching this particular ad for Obama, it actually made me look into his issues and promises as president. Take a look, maybe it'll change your view too.
This music video was powerful enough to make me watch more videos on Obama. I watched some of his speeches, and debates, and am proud to admit that I plan on voting for the first time ever. I think this next video is from the music video that Will.i.am made, hope you enjoy!
So go out there, look into the presidential candidacies, make a difference and VOTE!
I'm too lazy to update, I'll do it another day. SORRY!
ah it's early thursday morning of finals week and i have a final at 11:30 am. for some odd reason, i'm more focused that ever tonight. I don't know if it's the "oh shit my final's tomorrow" adrenaline or if it's because i really enjoy what i'm studying right now, but i'm really glad i'm being super productive and hope i do well tomorrow. I have my final for my anthro class which is Evolution of Human Sexual Behavior. I also took a psych class this quarter which was human sexuality. haha as you can see, this quarter was pretty fun, but don't be fooled by the course subject...these classes were pretty hard, well at least my anthro one was due to my professor.
i still can't get over that it's final's week already. pretty soon its going to be the end of the school year. it's crazy how time goes by so fast. I can still remember my first day moving into Rieber Hall and saying bye to my mom. college has been quite the journey for me. looking back at each year makes me realize how much i've grown as a person. it's crazy how ONE YEAR can change you. whether is getting bangs and changing your whole look down to which accessories you wear or having different perspectives about people, relationships, and life in general. as my college experience is starting to wind down, i'm glad i can look back and say that i have no regrets. even though i know i made some bad decisions, every step was a learning process that made me into the person i am today. I'm really looking forward to the rest of my last year to see what more i can learn and experience.
some highlights of these past weeks:
1) i've already told some people but i applied for a reality tv show that will air on ABC. haha yes laugh at me all you want, but this show is something i'm actually really passionate about. I randomly came across the ad for it online friday night... thank you craigslist! i won't tell you what the show is just yet, because you'll just LAUGH. I spent all night filling out the 15 page application and went to the casting call the next day. I wasn't really expecting much from the casting call, but there was a guy there that filmed me! haha it was like american idol status...well maybe not so crazy, but they filmed me before i went in to see the panel (which i assumed were the producers). first off, this reality show is only casting people between the ager 18 to 20. YES i'm too old for the show, but i told the producers why i wanted to be on the show. trust me, i have a REALLY good story. anyone that knows me well enough would agree that this reality show is too perfect for me. after i told them my story, they looked speechless. one of the producers said "wow i don't think i've met anyone....in my LIFE... that's more obsessed with ********** as much as you are". I asked why they weren't really allowing people 21+ to apply and they said it was for legal issues. BUT the same guy that was wowed said "i REALLY like you... i'm gonna see if we can make an exception". so YESS i got a call back!
so my call back was the next day, and I wasn't really expecting anything. I should have though because they told me to look "cute". although i totally didn't expect it, which i should have... but they filmed me. i answered all these questions on camera about myself and why i want to be on the show. at the end they made me say to the camera, "Hi I'm Jamie, I'm 22, and I'm from San Diego. America I want to be YOUR ******** ********". hah so yes hopefully i'll get to be on the show! If not, who knows, maybe they put my video clips in the beginning episodes.
the only part that sucks is that this all happened the freakin week before finals, so it's pretty much the only thing i could think about. i really do want to be on this show more than anything. TRUST ME, i have a really good explanation.
2) our apt got a christmas tree!! I don't think any of us have ever had a real christmas tree, so this is all our first one! too bad we're all leaving by next week so we won't really get to enjoy it as much. but we will be taking an apt 109 picture in front of it, so some of you will be getting a picture greeting from us soon!
3) i can not express how much i LOVE my puppy! BEBE can be a big brat sometimes, but I honestly do love her as if she were my child. it's also crazy how her personality is very similar to mine. YES dogs have personalities. any person that has a dog would understand what i'm talking about. even though bebe's getting bigger, i still think she's adorable.
4) this isn't a highlight, but more of an... epiphany? i know i'm naturally a nice person, or at least i try to be. some say i'm too nice to the point where its... questionable? or to the point where people don't get why i'm so nice. but what i have learned from being too nice is that i can't always act that way towards everyone, or else i get taken advantage of. i'm still learning, and know that i need to have better judgement of people. i don't get why i come across people that are a certain way... people whose behavior i really can't tolerate. its funny when you think you know someone.... when really you don't. i'm not talking about a specific person, but more a handful of people i've come across my college (and even high school) career. i need to learn how to pick the people i'm willing to go out of my way for... people that DESERVE IT. its hard though, i enjoy being really nice, i enjoy spoiling people and making them feel good about themselves... hah even making them feel LOVED (and no i don't mean that in a romantic way).
5) again, not a highlight, but something i just had to point out. i can not emphasize how i am surrounded by couples! so fall has always been my time of year to.... find someone. no that doesn't mean "love" or boyfriend... but someone that's able to hold my interest and give me those... butterflies? i don't know if i'm blinded... or just being picky, but i just haven't come across it. i don't know if it's the whole "you want but you can't have" but for some odd reason, i suddenly want a boyfriend lol. maybe it's because there's no potential boyfriend for me to have right now haha. but seeing all these people around me in love made me remember what it was like being in a relationship. i guess i can say that if i found someone that can keep me entertained (and YES by entertained i mean a ridiculously awesome PERSONALITY), i really wouldn't mind giving up the party life. haha my roommates think that i'll never settle, because i always get bored. maybe it's true, but why settle when you can SELECT (hah thanks Danica). people think i've had tons of boyfriends... when really, i have only had TWO. they become my boyfriend for a reason... i don't settle for less. yes i've dated lots of guys, but really its more of someone to have as good company, it never really gets romantic. i guess i can say i miss that romantic feeling. and no i don't mean a guy showering me with attention, i actually hate that. i guess i mean, that ATTRACTION, not just looks but a combination of that with personality, and a bit of mystery. hah yes this part of my entry was pretty random, just felt like expressing it.
its getting late so i'll end my entry here.
one more thing i want to mention. after taking my anthro and psych class, i really want to write an entry about so many interesting things i've learned and how i apply it to my perspective of people, mostly gender based. it'll be interesting! i promise! so gook luck on finals everyone!
and if anyone wants to hang next week i'll still in LA! so call meee
<3 Jamie
PS JAMES AN you HELLA suck for drunk IMing me while i have finals. thanks for rubbing it in you jerk!! haha i added that because i know you ready my xanga entries =)
