Day 4 & 5 IN LA!

Day 4 We woke up got ready and went to the Slauson Swap Meet in Los Angeles then went to Pink's hot dogs and let me tell you I wasnt happy one bit with my food so I got my money back and got IN N OUT! After IN N OUT we went to fairfax and I windown shopped at the Odd Future store and a few other ones. Then went to Rodeo DR and walked around after that we headed to The Grove and I bought a couple things at forever 21 but that F21 didnt have a lot of things so we went to the mall closer to our hotel and I got a few things at the F21 there. By that time it was around 8 or 9 so we just got some Hawiian BBQ and went back to the hotel and watched a movie. 
  
Day 5 The last day in LA :( I woke up sad because I didnt want to check out of our hotel. But that morning we went back to the swap meet because I just had to have these shoes that I had saw there and all day the day before I kept thinking about them and I knew I had to have them to add them to my spring wardrobe. So after I got my shows we went to IN N OUT and ate then headed to Venice Beach for a bit, where the photos down below were taken. It was a nice day a little chilly but it was perfect weather :) Then we went to Santa Monica really quick and Jen and I swung on the swings. By this time it was already about 4 o'clock and we didn't know what else to do so we just went to get gas and jen and I got slurpee's and were on our way back up north :( This was one of the best spring breaks I've ever had and I cant wait til we go back to LA next time. I just wish we would've gotten a chance to visit our family that lives down there & also that my sister and niece could've joined us on this trip. 

 









Picnic at the beach on Easter Sunday

So on sunday morning we went to the store got ourselves chips and arizonas and then sandwiches from TOGO'S and sat on the beach :) After Hermosa Beach which is where we had our picnic we went to Venice Beach and walked around it was really packed. After the beach we went to TGI Fridays and made some new friends :) They couldnt get enough of us lol we stayed there for so long just talking to the employee's and the manager. Then went to our hotel and relaxed a bit. Enjoy the pictures, follow me on instagram, twitter and Subscribe to my Youtube! :)

I BEEZ IN THE TRAP

I was sooo excited to spend almost a week in LA with my oldest sister & her bestfriend! Day 1 we didnt do much but go check out my Youtube Channel for a little bit of footage. We drove down to LA then checked into our hotel around 5, went to the mall to get my backpack that I wanted soo badly then headed to dinner at a mexican resturant in Downtown LA & the food was BUNK! Service was coo but the food was ehhh. After dinner we went to Hollywood and walked around.

Now Day 2! Saturday, April 7, 2012 . I told my sisters that I wanted to go to the fashion district in Downtown LA and to the wholesale saturday sale that started at 6am. Soooo, we woke up around 7 or 8am got dressed (showered the night before to be ready) and headed downtown to the wholesale saturday sale to find out that there wasnt a sale that saturday but in a couple more weeks :'( *waaah* so we just ended up going to Santee Alley. I had heard a lot about it from my Youtube friends, and lets just say its not what I expected at all and I was sorta let down. I ended up purchasing 3 things (Look out for my LA Haul) and my sister bought a pair of shoes. The clothes and shoes were cute but we felt they were overpriced, we didnt even walk through all of the alley because the parking meter had ran out and we were'nt planning on buying anything else so we left. Then we headed to Hollywood, CA to get brunch at Roscoes Chicken N Waffles and it was Yummy as always :) So after that we went to Hermosa Beach and looked for parking for like 3 hours lol no not that long maybe 45 mins. But after finally finding a parking space we walked down to the beach and stuck our toes in the sand and took some pictures! It was really hot on saturday maybe 80 degrees. After the beach we went to Culver City to the Westfield Mall hoping to see Nicki Minaj who was going to be there for a CD signing. Long story short we didn't end up staying to see her so we went to get frozen yogurt at Pink Berry. Follow me on instagram and you will see all the photos (dijahthakidd) After we got pink berry we went to the hotel and relaxed for a few hours and then went to the mall really quick. It was closed but the security guard was nice enough to let us inside really quickly. Next we went to Fat Burger in Inglewood and let me tell you it was no In N Out. I was lightweight upset that I wasted money on my food but whatevs #YOLO . That concludes Day 2 in LA :) Enjoy the pictures, follow me on instagram, twitter and Subscribe to my Youtube! :)

15th Annual Ethnics Studies Conference !

WE FINALLY DID IT!!!!
I thought this day would never come, I was sooo hyped for months for the middle school ethnics studies conference. Today was such a good day. Im soo proud of myself not only is this my first year ever doing anything like this and going to a conference, but I get to say Im apart of All City Council and actually put on something this important to the Bay area and to myself and also to  young leaders in the community I know live in. So lets recap on my day shall we? Woke up at 6:15 and got ready so I could be picked up by my mentor and head off to the venue. On the way to Berkeley- which was were the conference was being held- Tupac played on the radio, and I don't know about you guys but for me Tupac's music makes me feel a certain way. Almost powerful, or more powerful than I already am. Anywho, while listening to the music I was feeeling really good and thought todays going to be a good one. I just had a feeling :) (I get those a lot) So anyway we get there and the other ACC members set up already so all I had to do was help greet the students as they came in. Surprisingly I wasn't nervous at all :)when I was giving them announcements and welcoming them :) So after greeting 250+ middle school students Me and my two other collages walked around and just checked out the conference. I had a really good day overall and afterwards my mentor treated me and two others to ice cream in Berkeley :) Now im off to get ready for my spring break trip to LA :DDDD
