Gone for Two Months.

Hey guys! It's been a while, I know, I am so sorry. Life has just been too busy for me. But I am back and I've missed writing on this blog.

SO I know you guys probably have questions like: Where have you been? When and what will you be posting on this blog? Will you possibly take breaks like this one in the future?

I've been places. I've been at work taking photos and editing them while going to portfolio reviews. I've been with my boyfriend, hanging out and watching movies while he still isn't completely busy with sports. I've been trying to finish college applications so I can advance with my future and so I won't stress out about it next year. I've been around.

I haven't found out when I will be officially posting on this blog, maybe it might be on the weekends because that's when I find myself the least busy out of all the days of the weeks. As of what I will be posting is totally up to me. For the past weeks that I've been off of my blog, I've been thinking of ways to improve my blog. It's still a work in progress. But hopefully it'll come out to be really cool by the time 2016 begins.

Everyone takes breaks. This has not been the first time I've taken a break from a blog. This will probably not be my last time. The reason why I took this break was so I can get my life back together so I can come back and give you great blog quality. It's better to leave and come back with a bang then stay and not show your best work.

But for now, I am back and I can't wait to show you guys what is to come in the future. If you guys have any topic you'd like me to talk about in my next post, please let me know! I'd love to write about anything that you would like to know. Thanks and see you guys soon :)

Phases

Today while I was outside with a friend, we had a little conversation about many things but the one that stood out the most to me was our conversation about phases. It made us laugh a bit because his middle school phase was the same as mine, and it was during the same year. 7th grade. We didn't know each other at that time. Anyways, phases are really neat. To think about it, we can all compare ourselves to the moon: constantly changing and going through phases. It's incredible too, because when I think about what I wanted to be when I'm older back then, I think how big my expectations were growing up. Okay... that probably made no sense to you guys. What I mean to say is that the younger version of me had high expectations of what the me now should've been. Back in the day, I would always say "When I grow up I'm going to be a cheerleader and I'm going to be popular." If I could meet the younger version of me, I think she'd be very disappointed. But a part of younger me would be happy because we ended up being a great person. Back to the topic. We all go through phases. We get influenced to be someone else, we all try to discover who we are. Believe it or not, we never really know who we want to be until we grow older. I don't even think I know who I want to be as of right now. Life's all about discovering who you want to be. If it wasn't for phases, I don't think anyone would know what they would want to be. Honestly, I'd feel like we'd all be unhappy boring people. Phases help you through trial and error. You don't like being a certain way? Then go ahead and change it until you find what you want. The way that this happens intrigues me so much because we constantly change and "shed our skin" to become a new person. The phase I'm currently going through is the same one I've been doing since 2013. I think this phase is the one that has fully captured who I am. Who am I? You'll find out in my next post :)

xx, ambar.

Let's Talk.

Hey guys. It's me Ambar. I'm currently in that point of time when I have no clue on what to post. Writers block much? Yup. As of now, I'm drinking some hot chocolate from Dunkin Donuts and I have all my homework laid out next to me, probably homework that I don't even want to start yet.

I'm still stuck having PCD, and honestly it's real. I just wish it was October 2nd again, and I would've been heading to the venue right now.

I'm wearing my most bummiest clothes today; a black shirt, sweats (which I have to change out of later) and a burgundy purplish cardigan. I want to post an OOTW like every month, but I always wear like the same stuff every week.

On October 29th, I have homecoming! I'm not completely sure I want to go but if I do then I hope I have fun. I'm not much of a dancer but you gotta enjoy dances on senior year by what everyone says.

October 30th, WIPED OUT! is released and I'm so pumped, I'm currently trying to get my parents to order the bundle for me before it sells out because that means more The NBHD merch and I love merch.

Halloween is also coming up pretty soon and I think I have the best costume ever set out. I just have to go buy all the items, but I'm really excited. I'm probably celebrating Halloween with my friends and then at night with my brother and his friend because he's going to celebrate his birthday on Halloween.


Anyways, how is everyone's life? Is everything going good? Did you pass your test this week? If you did, I'm proud of you! Are you not looking forward to a stressful week? It's okay, we all go through the toughest times, you'll get through this week. Life flies by in a flash so don't get hung up on a stressful week.

I hope you guys just enjoyed this random blog post. I'm trying to get my life together... ALSO. I am thinking of schedules for my blog for the upcoming new year. Be prepared for a wild 2016... even though its still October 2015.

First Concert

Yeah, that's right. The cold of october has finally approached which means a terrible winter to follow along. However, that did not stop me from standing in line to see my favorite band.

Yesterday, I got to see the Neighbourhood live at Terminal 5. They were the first band I saw live and to be honest, I would go back to that night once again. Believe it or not, I want to convince my parents to let me see them tonight for the 2nd night in a row. Anyway, back to the story. I got up early as I would for school. Luckily my mom let me miss school, so thank you mom. I got ready and texted my friend to come to my town so we can catch a bus there. And we did. It was like 2:30 when we got there so the traffic started piling. That did not stop us from walking. Another friend of mine, who I met through instagram, Nicole, was already there and she held our spot for us. We got there at around 3:15 and from there we waited. Out in the freezing cold. No big deal, but around 6:00, when Nat, Nicole, Gen and I were together, it began to get worse. At 7pm they started letting people in. And we got in, we went to the balcony (best view ever if your small) and I went downstairs to buy merch. Because who doesn't love merch. I bought a hoodie, a long sleeve shirt, a set of 3 pins and a R.I.P Youth lighter which I dont ever think I'll use (unless its for lighting up a candle).

8:15. Hunny performs. They were so great! I only have heard of Cry for Me, but all their other songs were super rad, and I enjoyed it.

8:45-ish. Bad Suns comes up. Insanity. Christo even sorta crowd surfed and it was GREAT. He gave off a greaser kind of vibe and it made me melt.

9:45. THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PERFORMS. When Jeremy, Zach, Mikey, and Brandon came out me and my friends were flipping out, when Jesse came out I LOST IT. In my snapchat, all you hear is me scream "JESSE!" so loudly. It was insane. Their setlist was to die for. They played some songs from I Love You, which brought me back and made me happy that I got to see them perform some of that album. He played the mixtape, which was amazing, and it made me laugh because he had a GTA background for When I Get Back, and he had that weird video for Lurk which was my favorite. Then they played some of the new album, Wiped Out!, my favorite was Daddy Issues and RIP 2 My Youth. If you guys want to know what they sound like and you're going to the concert, I recommend just listening to it live because it was such a crazy experience.

I'm going to stop here because I have post concert depression so I'm going to find their live videos on YouTube right now. Thanks for reading guys, see you next week!

Back to the Busy Work Week!

So this is going to be really short, and this week i have nothing to post. So i just want to tell you guys about my job. I work as a photographer for my school. Recently we have been beginning to bring in the work load and it has been tough. I'm talking about spending more than 10 hours in school per day! I go to school at 7am and because of my job sometimes I don't leave until like 8:00pm. But you know what I like my job. It's really fun and I get to do what I love the most. Also, next week I will hopefully have some photos up for September photography! I've been doing photography for my school so I'm going to find a couple that I cant actually post here without giving away my school.

I'm so sorry but next week I will have a blog post to actually write about! See you next time!

Reasons to Love Autumn.

This morning I woke up to a chilly morning with a cup of coffee in my hand as I was walking to my job. As I was walking I was like, "thank god I brought my sweater because it's chilly out." Then it hit me, autumn is literally right around the corner. Finally the summer heat is leaving us after a harsh 3 months. Anyway, everyone loves autumn. I don't think anyone could possibly hate this season. If you aren't a big fan of autumn, these reasons might get you to like it a bit more. And if you already love it, then here are reasons to love this wonderful season even more.

1. MORNING. Mornings are always the best. The crisp air outside during the mornings literally wake me up. I love to wake up in the morning and walk to school with chill crisp air and the leaves being all around the floor. It's just so relaxing, while when it's hot or too cold, you're technically rushing to school to be in a better temperature environment.
2. LEAVES. Pretty much the leaves are the coolest things ever. The colors that they change into are so pretty and way back then I remember racking them up and throwing them (sorta like a fall photo shoot you'd see on tumblr.) and it would look breath-taking, at least to me it did.
3. CLOTHES. I cannot stress how happy I get when it starts getting chilly. Personally, I am not someone who likes to dress in short shorts and tank tops, I like to wear my jeans and cardigans. During autumn I get to dress up in darker colors and more layers which keep me cozy 24/7. 
4. CUDDLING WEATHER. For those of you who have a cuddle buddy (friend, significant other, parent, animal, etc), I think we all know how difficult it is to cuddle with someone without worrying about your sweating all the time. During the summer, if you cuddle with someone you begin to stick on them (like really stick on them). Me and my then boyfriend cuddled once during the spring/summer and we hated it so much because it was uncomfortable, during the autumn it was just much more nicer and less sweaty.
5. FILMS AND MUSIC. I tend to watch too much film during autumn and it's just so easy to cuddle up in a blanket (or into someone's arms or vice-versa) and watch a movie. During this season, halloween movies are literally all I watch, like all the time, I'm actually starting the halloween movies in two weeks because I'm still adjusting to school. Also fall just gives off this vibe that people tend to match up to music playlists which I really love to listen to (mostly calm relaxing music).
6. PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE. I've never had PSL but from what everyone says about it, it must be an essential. 
7. HALLOWEEN AND THANKSGIVING. HOW COULD I FORGET THESE TWO HOLIDAYS. Halloween is my favorite because of the trick-or-treating, movie nights, parties, and costumes. My costume this year is going to be really cool, and if you guys are true 90s kids, maybe you'll know who I'm going to be. Thanksgiving is my favorite too because of the Macy's Day Parade, The Dog Show afterwards, the food and most of all, giving thanks for all you have. That day is just a really nice day, until black friday the next day. 
8. SPORTS. Fútbol. (Soccer for the Americans). Hockey. Football. First of all, I am not a big fan of football, I am a huge fan of fútbol and hockey though. I am literally attending every game of fútbol (soccer) at my high school. However, if you guys are huge football fans, this is the time where you go out and attend the games, even I'm going to try to go to the football games at my high school since it's my last year. The excitement I have for fall sports is literally insane.
9. SWEATERS. SWEATERS. HOT CHOCOLATE & SWEATERS. To describe a perfect fall day for me, it'll be me in a huge oversized sweater or something, some hot chocolate made, my favorite movie (Harry Potter) on my mac book screen, and a dark environment. Sweaters and hot chocolate to me (and maybe others) is a necessity for fall, I don't think I can stress this much. Plus come on, it's pretty self explanatory why they are necessities. 
10. EVERYTHING. Overall, what is there to hate about fall, all the bugs left yo. 

Anyways I hope you guys liked my version of Reasons to Love Autumn (Fall), maybe I share some things in common with you guys when it comes to this. If there are any requests for my next posts, please leave them in the comment because I would appreciate it a lot. See you guys in my next post, bye!

Update Post.

Now, I know what I said on "being active" and everything. I didn't like the way everything was being done so I decided to change everything up. I just started senior year and my job again so I knew that I wouldn't be able to accomplish Cassey's tasks. So... I created a new schedule for myself.

Monday: 6 minute workouts. Monday's are the toughest and doing 5 workouts (30 minutes) is enough for a day

Tuesday: ABS! Because I overall want to get nice abs (they don't have to be perfect but anything is good, you know)

Wednesday: Arms. I'm a big fan of my arms, I find them to be my best feature so eventually I will add obliques to wednesday, but I want to tone my arms.

Thursday: Butt. Don't really care about having a nice butt, however, I can't leave this out

Friday: Thighs. I HAVE BIG THIGHS. not because I'm unhealthy but because hispanics are born like that, I also have saddle bags and cellulite that I'd love to get rid of.

Saturday: Obliques. Obliques are the sides of your upper/lower abs, aka muffintops. Something that I'd like to get rid of too, because sometimes they can be a pain.

Sunday: Rest/Flexibility. I just really love relaxing on sundays and I want to be flexible af.

Now for the update.

I just started school/ my job as of last week, so my schedule is packed and pretty hectic for the next two months or so. As it is my senior year, application process is going on right now as we know it. I'm not so sure if I'll be able to post really good blog stuff, but I am trying my hardest to do so. Also, thank you guys so much for all the positivity, like seriously you guys are the best. I am so proud of the progress that has been made in less than a month (thank you teen blogger central!) Anyway, I will talk to you guys on my next post, bye! :)
