I really need a break... it's been a pretty crazy week. I just want to relax this weekend, oh... and celebrate my cousins beautiful daughter Valentina's 1st bday <3 She is sooo adorable and very sweet. She doesn't cry and loves to smile and laugh. She is the type of baby everyone wants to hold.
I am excited for that but don't know what to wear... Its going to be about 74 degrees tomorrow so I might wear a dress... lets see what happens.
Love,

Feeling a little blue....
Last night an old friend Francisco Rodriguez or as we called him, "Panchito" was shot and killed in front of his house. He was a high school senior and part of the soccer team there. He was liked by all since he was so friendly. Unfortunately his life was cut short. I can remember I used to make fun of him because I thought his smile was to big for his small face. Now no one will see that smile again.
He is in a better place now but I ask that you keep his family in your prayers so that they can overcome this difficult time.
R.I.P Panchito

My SOAR Orientation & David Benoit
As some of you may know, I recently applied to transfer to CSULB and I got accepted, yay! I was very excited to go to my orientation. I just hated that I had to take a day off of work in order to go because it was from 8am-5pm.
My morning started off great. I woke up on time, (5am) hopped in the shower mind you it was going to be like 53 degrees that morning lol. I made myself breakfast and packed a small snack. So I drove to CSULB and there was no traffic since it was so early in the morning. The SOAR office had not sent me the parking pass for the day so I figured I could go a little early and get a pass.
I got there about 45 minutes early and at that point I knew the only reason why I felt extra frozen was because my hair was wet lol. Any who, I got my pass and had to move my car from the meter at parking lot 17 to parking lot 14C. Then walked all the way back to Brotman Hall. As I made line, one of the assistants handed each transfer student a CSULB folder with lots of flyers and information pamphlets in it. We had to fill out a form in order to get our CSULB Student ID. Then as they checked me in, I had to make a name tag then walked to the lecture hall for the opening session.
It was quick with some introductions and short speeches from the ASI president and a few other people. Then a short slideshow went on showing the first college which was of engineers and the man asked for the ones with that major to go out and meet the tour guides. Then they called the college of Human Services, which included my major Child Development and Family Studies.
We got a tour of the campus that took about 1 hour which was really boring to me because I already knew the campus since my boyfriend is a former student. Any who, when I was by the library I got to meet Mr. David Benoit he is a famous pianist, composer and producer and host of KJAZZ in the mornings. I shook his hand and introduced myself. He is very nice and a bit jittery, maybe cause he was drinking coffee lol. After the tour, they took us to the Business and Administration lecture hall and at our seat there was a CSULB planner with 3 sheets: a survey about the SOAR orientation, SOAR Transfer Registration Form and the SOAR CSULB General Education Worksheet.
They had a powerpoint presentation, then gave us more information and we did an activity in which we had to team up in groups of 5 or so and come up with questions so that they could answer them for us. After that we got ready for lunch.
El Pollo Loco was catering for the day and we had a choice of a Pollo Bowl or a Veggie Bowl. I got a Pollo Bowl and went to sit outside in the warm sun with a girl I met at the orientation. We walked up to the bookstore to go take out pictures for our CSULB Student ID and then walked around looking for cool Beach wear. I got myself two t-shirts and will be going back to pick up my hoodie soon!
At 12:50 pm we had to be back at the lecture hall. At that point the assistants handed out our SOAR Preliminary Transfer Credit Summary and the advisors handed each of us a personalized Major requirements Worksheet. Then we were able to get up and look for the open classes and build our schedule.
I had already done some research on what classes I needed and built a possible class schedule. Luckily only one of the four classes I had picked was closed. I had to replace it with another class.
I went to the computer lab at the Horn Center and got my classes then I was able to go home at 2:30.
So now I am officially a CSULB Student <3

News Update...
Hey dolls!
I have decided that I will no longer be posting anything about nails on this blog. I will keep it as a blog about me. You are all welcome to stay and read things that happen in my life but all nails news including new video posts on my YouTube channel, new products on my BellaKoritaNails online store or any other news on nails will be posted on my nail blog www.bellakoritanails.blog.com simple as that.
I hope you get a chance to visit the new blog and the best thing about it is that you can comment on a post without signing up on the website, that way everyone can comment on a post. :)
Also, I have one goal I hope to accomplish. Every weekday, I hope to write one post for both my personal blog and my nails blog even if it is a short update. Let's see how it goes.
With Love,
CynthiaViera

It's been a month!
I can't believe I have not posted anything in over a month! I guess I just got caught up with all of the xmas shopping, wrapping, cooking and cleaning. But it is all over now so I have to get back in the habit of posting.
How was your Xmas and New Years celebration? I have a great time Xmas eve and day but New Years was very BLAH lol.
I hosted a contest on my BellaKoritaNails FB Fan Page and the winner got to customize a glitter acrylic that will be added to the store this week plus her name is included on the label and name of the acrylic.
CONGRATS to Daisy Anguinano who was the winner of the contest. She decided to name the mix "Daisy's Magic"and it is a beautiful mix of purple, gold and turquoise colors.
A bunch of new products have been added to the online store, go check them out:
Take Care!
