i was the walrus, but now i'm john.

there's always a very little amount of good movies that have to deal with biographies of your favorites artists. some may suck and others may be the best you've seen so far. i watched nowhere boy last night with my younger sister chris and i have to say i give it 3 1/2 stars. the story fit a bit, though stuart sutcliffe (if you don't know who he is, he was the originial bass player for the beatles, an art student and john's best friend during the time of this movie) wasn't in this film. they gave john blue eyes and black hair when in reality he has brown hair and light brown eyes (chris says he has hazel. i don't believe her. and she's the lennon fanatic). i was mad when i saw the paul character has dark ass brown eyes. he has hazel green. i would know, i admire them.

 

the story line is the way it's suppose to be. though some things are kinda changed around but most of it is fact. i just hate what john went through. when he was 5 his father tried taking him from his mother julia, when she went to confront alf - john's father - little john decided to stay with his daddy, leaving julia heart broken and left alf's house without john. but then a little crying john runs after his mother and tells her he wants to stay with her instead.sad but true, he was raised by his aunt mimi, his mother had left him once again. he started seeing her again when he was 15, rebuilding their relationship little by little. it was working, she taught him about music and how to play the banjo, which later led to guitar and many more things. finally getting her back but when he was 17, she was killed, being struck by a car. i know that that's why john and paul were so close, both their mothers died while they were at a young age. paul's mum died of an embolism after a mastectomy operation to stop the spread of her breast cancer when he was 14.

well beatles fans, especially john lennon fans. it's a good film, i recommend it. it's a good story and shot beautifuly. the film will be released in the US on 8 October 2010 to coincide with celebrations that weekend of the 70th anniversary of Lennon's birth (9 October 1940). watch it, even though i already saw it, you'll see me at the movies watching this again.

up and over it and over them.

i need a reality check. no one told me that it was already may 11th!!!! my mind is playing tricks on me. i still feel like i have another 5 weeks until i go back home but i never realized that it's only 3 now. wowwww. life flys too damn fast doesn't it? i remember when i was15 going on 16, my grandfather told me that life seem to just slip by once you turn 16. he's right. and once i turned 16, my whole life flipped upside down when i had to move to mexico. i was so worried with how i was going to finish high school and if things were going to change between my friends and i. to be honest with you, even though i was born in phoenix, az, i grew up in los mochis, sinaloa. i realized things i never realized before. i was able to see who my real friends were and complete high school in a way that was a hassle but i still passed, ready to go to college. i've matured too fast, i've been told i have the mind of a 30 year old. i know what's right and what's wrong but i still live my life to the fullest with no regrets. life is too damn short to be worrying over pointless bs. and kids in high school, don't stress over dumb drama: it's seriously dumb and isn't worth you getting all bummed over it.

even though i don't say it enough davis, i'm so proud of you. and i'm so sorry i won't be able to make it to your graduation. a best friend you can consider a sister doesn't come around often and i will hang onto to you for life. i know you'll never let me down. we've been friends for 7 years now and there's many more to come. we've proved so many people wrong, people who wanted to break us up and make us turn against each other and you know what? they can all go to hell and envy our relationship.they've been doing it for 7 years and will continue to do so. ha ha. it's funny how we can attach ourselves like leeches to people and there's about 5% of them that won't let you go. and that 5%, you have to keep.

doris. i love you. you're going through so much on your own and it's not fair. but remember i'll always be there to protect you. i remember when you called me your alice cullen and i called you my bella swan. we really are best friends and i feel it in my heart. dumb little girls f around with you so much, it pisses me off but one of these i swear i'm just gonna kick their ass. apparently they won't shut their mouths after i asked them to - nicely. but 3rd strikes the charm. they're gonna get it. i promise. i hate that i'll be leaving you soon.

i cut my hair early this week. very victoria beckham, rihanna stylish. i love it. i've decided to grow it out after this cut and once it's pretty long i will cut it all off again and donate it to cancer. i've been thinking about that for a while now. cancer patients deserve to look and feel beautiful too.

my pet sparrow jack (whom i think is a girl sparrow now, i can't tell) is flying alot now, mainly stays in my room. it almost time to let her go and live life. she's so adorable.

anyone wanna get me these for my 18th birthday? i'd seriously sport these. :)

xoxo,

alice.

it's a fine line, between chaos and creation.

so here's life. after 2 years of stress, being afraid, and dreaming that some day i'd finally fly away. i can tell you all now that i'll be leaving wonderland in june and finally start my life back home in phoenix. i don't know if i could be any happier or if i could smile more than i already do, but i'm happy. and i don't even think the word 'happy' could describe what i'm feeling. after spending two months in phoenix, by myself with no family but my aunt and cousins. everything i wanted to accomplish - i did. i passed my GED with flying colors and was accepted to the only university i really wanted to go to. and i'm happy to say now that you're reading the blog of an ASU Sun Devil.

quick thank you to Karina! you're the best. <3

right now i'm blasting Macca on my laptop and just laying down on my bed, staring at my room here in Mexico. i came back 2 weeks ago and i only have 5 more to go. everyone back home told me to stay but i really wanted to spend some time with my family before i move back permanently. especially my young sister Amy who's going to be 4 in june. you know, i never really understood why people say that family's the most important thing in the world, and now that i do understand. it really is. you shouldn't take them for granted because life's really short and you must enjoy every moment you get with them.

faith was all i needed to help move forward and now that everything's in place, i can look ahead without worrying what would happen. ha ha ha, i wonder what my haters are thinking of, reading this. i only have one thing to tell them. see, i told you i wouldn't fail.

xoxo,

Alice.

life flows on within you and without you

happy birthday to the late George Harrison. who would've been celebrating his 67th bday today if he were still alive. you're dearly missed love. r.i.p. :(


don't we just sometimes wish our idols could be immortal? i seriously hate the fact that our beloved George is still gone. though people may not still realize it; George was a main factor in The Beatles. he was an amazing guitarist and had one of the most breathtaking voices ever. i remember when i first heard them, he was the one my ears would first find. there was something special about him that well, you just couldn't deny. and you have to admit, though i'm a hardcore Macca fan, but George was the most handsome one out of the four. ha ha. :)


his solo carreer was pretty awesome too. i like him better solo then with The Traveling Wilburys. it was awesome when it was just him. i can't pick a favorite by him though. mmmm, too difficult. it might be an even tie between "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Here Comes the Sun", and "Don't Bother Me".

llooongggg and busy morning. i didn't want to wake up and go to school today but, the plus side of my school... free facials, mani's, pedi's, ahhh. we sometimes have to work within ourselves and well, i like going when someone works on me. my friend Paola gave me a facial today (i seriously don't know what kind it was or what it's called in english and i know that if i try to translate it, i might get it wrong.) and my skin is suppperrrrr soft. no dead cells, bumps, pimples, nothing! i'm getting a manicure tomorrow from Laura. but i think i'll just ask her to clean around my nails, i wanna do the design myself. :)

friday's nearly here and the weekend is coming! ahh, i have to see what i'm going to do. i really wanna work on a couple more projects. i need some new drawings out. but till then i'll just focus on today. <3

xoxo,

Alice.

here, there, and everywhere.

so here I am, drowning past events in tea and music. i've been trying to get my mind off of school lately and just focus on ahead with what i wanna do with my life. i've landed work down here after all, my aunt who's a photographer has been asked by some of her friends - and clients - if I'd like to make them drawings of their bf's and childred and such. to be honest, it's a good thing I'm working now. i have to make money somehow and it's a good thing I'm making it doing something i love. so there's a plus. and in Mexico, money is freaking precious now-a-days. ugh. i hate economy crisis.

Beauty school is there still, i've been lacking in going lately. don't get me wrong, i like doing all that stuff, but i don't have the same passion for it as the other girls there. when I went today we practiced this really cute hairstyle and i fell completely in love with it. i practiced it on my friend Tania and it looked way better on her because she has long hair.

no i'm not going bald, it's braided. ha ha. i think it's a very cute hairstyle for say, a bride or even for just a girl's night out or a date. i loved it and plan on doing it more often for when i go out. :) but since my hair is so short, my friend had to pin it all up from the back.

i've been saving up money to buy more fabric for the outfits i'm designing. i never though i'd like designing clothes but i guess being an artist just has its own little ways of bending around things. i love drawing dresses and mainly pencil skirts and such. i found a couple off the internet and since i've been keeping up with my workout, i'm finally getting comfortable wearing dresses and skirts. for those of you who don't know; my mum makes most of my clothes. i like having things that are one of a kind, like myself, and wearing them in public. i guess i like it because not only is it unique, but my mum gets work out of it. sometimes people like what i wear and ask wear i bought it, then i say my mother made it for me. she makes a wide variety of clothing. pants, shorts, skirt, dress, anything you want. she made my helena dress for my 15th birthday. :)

i've decided i'ma use this blog as a daily journal. i use to post everything on my myspace blog but for some reason i never liked it. so keep checking in.

xoxo.

Alice
