overdue.

I'm baaaaaaaack! San Diego was AMAZING. So much fun and so many sessions that have me motivated to take on the PR world when I graduate.

I am missing something, or in this case, someone.

Le sigh.

If only.

Gone to San Diego!

So, I'm off to San Diego for the 2009 PRSSA National Conference. I've been waiting for this weekend since March. Haha. Can't wait to get out of Orange County for the next couple of days and bond with my executive board. The best part about conference is seeing old friends and making new friends. God, I love PRSSA.

2008 PRSSA National Conference in Detroit, MI. Brrrrrr, it was chilly. Not the kind of weather this California girl is used to having. ;]


If you want to know the happenings of the conference, or simply, just want to know what the heck I'm doing, you can follow my tweets or you can follow the CSU Long Beach PRSSA tweets.

See you on Tuesday!

Monday, Monday.

Okay, I get it. I haven't written in this blog since, what? My birthday? Yeesh. It's been an extremely busy couple of weeks. PRSSA, school and work along with my so-called "social life" have taken over my blogging responsibilities. While I enjoy the idea of blogging everyday, the motivation to actually do it is at a low. Yes, there are times where I feel the need to write this down and capture the moment in words, but sometimes I'm not near a computer to do such a thing. I'll try my best to bring this blogging up. Until then, I hope you can be patient with me.

But here's some good news though: I have an interview with Leader Enterprises at 11 a.m., which I am nervous, but more importantly, really excited about. I've known about this agency since Marc Altieri came into my Principles of Public Relations to speak about working at an agency. He's a CSULB alum, so that mesmerized me even more. Want to know an interesting fact about him? His brother, Mike Altieri, happens to the Vice president of Communications at the Los Angeles Kings.

:O <-- that's my "wow" face. Haha.

Aside from my interview, I have a PRSSA meeting on Tuesday with the ever-so-popular topic, Entertainment PR. Our guest speaker is Candice Han, who I have known for quite a while now. She speaks in a way, where you can easily relate to her and she doesn't seem intimidating. Another plus is that she is a CSULB alum too! (I'm starting to see a trend here...)

But the most exciting part of this week? NATIONAL CONFERENCE!! Four more days, and my executive board and I will be in sunny (let's hope..) San Diego! I will be attending the conference with over 80 chapters from across the nation. Networking, attending sessions and workshops, socials, everything is going on this weekend! I'll be making new friends while connecting with old friends. A mini-vacation with my executive board. Unfortunately, I wished more members from our chapter went, but a deadline is a deadline. And I really wish Sheena went with us and our e-board trip to Conference will be complete! Oh, well..there's always National Assembly in March. :)

joyeux anniversaire

That's what my cupcakes and candles looked liked last night.

I'm grateful for my friends who took me to Disneyland and surprised me with a fiesta.

Strawberry margaritas and our own version of "margarita pong" was the highlight of the night.

Oh, and Jessica's "Super Mario" and "They're from Ikea!" quotes.

Amazing.

Round two will start at 6p.m. for Karina's surprise party, then it's off to 2nd Street with the FU Friday group.

I gotta a feeling...that's tonight's gonna be a good night.

My birthday is tomorrow (Oct.11).

Come and say "Happy Birthday" to me.
