I drank coffee today and it has me super super hyper, I feel like I can beat the world. haha. I just finished my work with one of my clients, ONE 55 WATER, A CITY CAFE, and I'm so blessed that I met them and that I had the opportunity to work with them. They're really nice. They're at 155 Water Street in Henderson, Las Vegas if you want to visit them. Their grand opening will be very soon and that place is going to be fabulous!!
What a beautiful day today has been. It has been full of love and understanding. I love being happy and that's one of my goals. I just want to be happy for many years to come.
IF you want to contact me regarding design work, you can do so by emailing me at candyv@gmail.com and I'll be happy to help you out.
I'm attending IADT and I want to gain as much as hands-on experience as I can; that way I can get my portfolio filled with great pieces when I graduate.
Have a good night everyone!!
First I wanted to thank everyone for being so kind and voting for me in the Brickfish Social Medial Contest. I ended winning 282 out of 83,366 and that is a big accomplishment to me. Despite me losing the contest, I learned that I have super sweet friends who will sit in front of their computer for hours just to vote for me. I appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart <3.
They will also be updated with more designs as we make more. I'm very excited about doing this project because it's for the Make-A-Wish Foundation I love being able to contribute my work for a bigger cause. It's very gratifying. Life is great and everything is going well. My journey of becoming a great artist continues.. :) Hope you like all the work I post, it's very hard for me to post because of my schedule, but from time to time I will update my vox. I also have a bunch of other projects on the side that I'm working on, and as those progress I'll also write about them.
I am however getting my own website though, I already have the domain I just haven't been able to do much until now. I've been getting all my work together and everything I do throughout school will be found here. It will be my collection of work.
Have a great day everyone.
I'm at school right now so I thought I would write an entry. I've had the best day EVER.
Yesterday, 7/16 marked the day I became a United States resident. yes, that's right. It took 10 years to be able to get this document and I will now be able to be a fulltime student at my dream school: AIDT. Am I excited? You have NOOOO clue. This is the beginning of the greatest gift that anyone can ever give me. A new Beginning. I feel like my life has my finally started.
I got a free tarot card reading on tarot.com and it said nothing but great things about my future. Take a look. This just makes me keep working harder at my graphic design career.
Main (positional) Meaning:
You have a talent for creating something from nothing.
The card in the Self position touches on an aspect of how you perceive yourself right now, including how at peace you are with and within yourself.
The Magus symbolizes imagination, creativity and an inventive nature. Your unique intelligence and talent for clever experimentation is a valuable asset for adapting to circumstances of all types. The Magus serves as a catalyst and change agent. His influence is a fresh breeze blowing through any situation.
Be playful, and stay open. Don't limit yourself -- the possibilities are endless when your mind is open. Try things, see what happens and correct your course as you go. If you stay relaxed, you can tease open the minds of those who are watching to see what you will do.
Main (positional) Meaning:
Reason cannot decipher the deep meaning of personal situations that happen on a heart level.
The Situation position refers to the general set of influences that surround you and affect your personal experience of peace. We all have to deal with conflict and are affected by the process.
When the Two of Cups is in this position, your worldview can have an archetypal and psychically open quality. Moments like this can free you to change the rules that usually govern your life. Trust what is happening.
Feel your way through this situation rather than trying to understand it with rational thinking -- and don't worry, you are not losing your mind! The forces governing this situation transcend logic. Pay attention to the psychic, emotional and spiritual energies that may be sweetening the atmosphere. Let go. Allow yourself to develop your spiritual and personal life as you flow with these peaceful, loving energies.
Main (positional) Meaning:
Help make the invisible visible.
The card in the Challenges/Opportunities position reflects how you can use creativity and skill to turn conflicts into harmonious understanding.
The Hierophant in this position points to someone who is recognized and respected for the qualities that once made them seem strange to others. People like this see into the invisible spaces, communicate with animals, plants or the elements, and generally live in the world but are not bound to it.
Although an extra degree of sensitivity to your experience of life has
at times seemed a setback, the Hierophant is now in a position to make
it pay. This is a specialist, a person with a gift. With
self-discipline, you can turn your unique point of view into a path of
service.
Check it out! I've finally been really getting into the rhythm of design something for myself; at least making something that makes me extremely proud at the end of the day. Another thing I'm extremely proud is being 1,294 place out of 41,390 pictures of Brickfish. I would so appreciate it if you could all vote for me. I really need to get a lot of scholarships in order to be able to go to school full time next semester and this would help out a ton so please vote for me.

I'll try to make this as quick as I can since I'm trying to go to the gym and feel that I have soo much to write about. Just so many things have been happening that I need an outlet on where to transpire my thoughts into words. This would be it, except I'm not really liking vox because for the last 2 posts that I've tried to do at work. The computer crashes and it doesn't save anything leaving with an empty post.
And for that mere reason, I have acquired MY OWN DOMAIN. Actually 2 domains, one for my dog sitting business, www.candysbestfriends.com and one for my graphic design business, www.poetic-imagery.net. It's taken 60 days to get my poetic imagery domain to be transferred from GoDaddy.com to 1and1. It's been an awful long waiting period, but now that it's finally done I feel that I can start working and showing off the work that I've been doing. Everyone needs to see how good I am with my graphic design skillets. Lol =P
It's been a good day, except this morning when this broad at work who has the same position as me decides to tell me off. That sort of upset me, but other than that, it's been great. I would write about the incident here but I don't know if anyone from work reads this and I don't need any names put out there up front. So for now, we'll just call her a broad.
Natalie (my friend from work) introduced me to one of the greatest things, LIKE EVER. An Ice Grande Breve Green Tea Latte!!
I'm trying to go to the gym and exercise because I have not done so in the past 2 days. I've just been so busy with a lot of projects, school, my boyfriend, working 6 days this week and dogsitting. Craziness! Sometimes I don't know how I pull it all off...Speaking of school, the class I'm currently taking is almost done. I am almost done with my Drawing I class and I'm so very proud. I have to get cracking on my final project which is done soon. I need ideas for the beginning of an art project, ANYONE?
Anyways, this is a sample of my homework that must be turned in Thursday. It's an entire composition done with nothing but pen & ink. Neat huh? I think I've always been pretty good using the pen as a drawing utensil. Everyone knows I always doodle and shit while I'm at work. I still have the other composition to do, but I should be done by then. I will get an A, I just know it. I try hard for these grades because I know the potential being school releases in me. I feel that going to school is my motivation to continue because it's like someone is pushing me to get the work done and Im doing it, duuudee..
SO one of my websites, which I'm very proud is coming all together and should be done soon. This project is called Our Incarcerated Loved Ones, u can view the progress here: WWW.CO-IMPRISONMENT.COM I'm currently working on creating a theme with the lovely and grand, wordpress. It's been working out pretty great so we'll see, I just have to customize the styles and what not. My deadline is June 12 so I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that my guardian angel shows up to help me get it done in time.
It's been an awesome week and I think June is just getting started... I have some BIIIIGGG News to reveal soon, but I will keep them to myself until the process is complete. That's it for now. TATA
******OFF TO LOOK SEXY I GO *******
This weekend started horrible. I was hopeless and not looking forward to anything. I promised to myself that I would give this "California" move a try, that I would try try try for my mother-in-law because this was her DREAM. I was not putting myself in the whole equation, I guess sometimes I wish someone would come rescue me and take care of me, but hah, that's not happening until my boy comes home. My boyfriend was not answering back to let me know his ideas about moving to California, I felt torn, between two places. Las Vegas, believe it or not, has become my hometown, my dream town. Everything that is good has happened here, I know you're thinking what the hell, why Las Vegas? It does not seem family oriented at all, well think again. This is where my dreams and any fantasy has happened. I met the man of my dreams here and not having him here makes it even harder. I understand that I'm trying to make all our dreams come true, but without him guiding, leading me, being my right hand, it just doesn't feel right.
Something was missing, or in this case someone very important that I hold close to my heart was not here. I felt lonely. In this hometown that I now call mine, I have friends, my own family, my little brother, my life that I have made come true. My dreams are slowly realizing that they must be accomplished here because I have started a new life for me and my boyfriend. It feels amazing to know that I will get married so soon. I will be someones' forever. They will have me engraved in their heart for a lifetime. I will write my own vows, I promise to be faithful for the rest of my life and to give nothing but my love to him. That's a promise, love has never hit me so hard to even think about kids. I was at the Burlington Coat Factory looking at all the baby stuff and it reminded me of how bad I want to be a mommy, but not any type of mommy, a mommy to the man that will always be forever mine, to the one who has stood by my side when things were going wrong, to the only one who completes me, has my whole heart and every piece of it, the one I would seriously die for. I finally know how it feels to be in love. I don't know if anyone understands just how hard it is to be without him. How I wake up every morning hoping that it'd be him right there holding me instead of a lousy pillow. My dreams are all in Las Vegas. School has become the greatest part of my life, I can't afford it, yet I'm doing extremely well and trying my hardest to go to private school to achieve my dream of being a graphic designer.
For the first time, my dreams are becoming reality. My life is changing, developing, becoming new. I am living life to the fullest of each day and I've never felt so alive. For the first time I CAN SAY THAT I AM HAPPY!!! I am so happy it makes me want to cry. I have a job that is amazing, doing what I love to do, DESIGNING! Wedding Websites also, which is very contradictory because I am getting married soon. I can't believe I doubted myself of how much potential I hold inside of me, I am woman so I sore, I thrive, I become a full damn grown woman. Yes, I am Candy Villalta, proud of my last name, proud of who I am and who I can become. And if anyone doesn't like it, so what? BITE ME!
