TWENTY • TWO

I haven't updated my blog mainly because I've had family visiting from Mexico, and you know how that goes: I had to give up my room, therefore giving up my computer (so no blogging time available). Anyway, this past week I turned 22! I didn't do much to celebrate me turning a year older. I do feel like celebrating by going dancing one night, hopefully soon! I seriously am such a grandpa compared to people my age, instead of partying and going out clubbing for my birthday I had a relaxing chill day. It was my day off and I spent it (of course) with the boy I love AND one of his old friends Angela M. Castelli. She is amusing, interesting, funny, fashionable and such a cool girl. I haven't hung out with her too many times but the times I have she's always full of energy and I love talking about pop culture with her. Like always, Victor gave me some GREAT gifts, and the presentation was so cute (you can see below):

he's so great at decorating/wrapping gifts.

a personalized/handmade "22" card.

The wrapping was so perfect and neat that I did not even want to rip it apart, I didn't want to ruin it! The first gift I opened was of Victors mom, she always knows exactly what kind of clothes (or even undies) I like, and has great taste when it comes to picking out things for me!

how cute is this shirt that she got me?! I love the bright yellow, and I love stripes! Perfect pairing! Perfect gift!

 Victors sister, Valerie (a.k.a Valerizzzle) also gifted me something super cute that I can't wait to wear! See below:

I love baseball tees and I love hoodies so her gift was the best of both worlds! Seriously can't wait to wear this out!

Then it was time to open Victors gifts and I was so nervous! I didn't know what to expect, and didn't want it to be something expensive. I was so happy when I opened the gifts and saw several things that I have been wanting for a while now!

GIFT REVEAL

I've wanted some dark ruby red military style boots for a while now and YUP HE GOT THEM FOR ME! That turquoise sweater is super cute, I love that color, and think it looks great on my extra tanned skin!

these socks are the cutest, he gifted me a pair a while back with little mustaches and I love them but these are my new favorite! I love skulls and there's even little turquoise skulls!

personalized cards, I love writing notes to friends/family and now I have another reason to do so with these super cute cards!

I loved all my gifts and he got me everything that I could have wanted! I love clothes, I love turquoise, I love skulls, I love stripes! All the gifts I received sum up who I am perfectly!

After the big gift reveal, we met up with Angela M. Castelli at the Mexican restaurant Acapulco for margaritas, chips and salsa, and pop culture gossip!

TYPICAL: hot wings.

MARGARITA TIME!

Eventhough I didn't do much to celebrate my 22 like people my age, I had a great time and it felt good to just have that day to relax. These days I'm always busy and my schedule is hectic that anytime I have a full day off I try and take advantage of it. This day off was extra special because I spent it alongside special people. I'm now 22 and even if it feels no different than 21, I can sense that this year has some great things set for me (not to mention a new apartment, a new routine, and a new/much more mature Jose). Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday! Thank you to Angela M. Castelli (I just love saying her full name) for taking the time to hangout with me and Victor. Thank you to Leti Go (Victors mom) for always being there for me, being caring, and supportive. Thank you to Valerizzzle, for being so welcoming and calling me an easy person to shop for! Last but certainly not least thank you to Victor for making sure I had the most memorable birthday ever! Thank you for all that you planned, thank you for always having me in mind and thank you for always inspiring me!
