My brother and I need to renew our passports because we're going to the Philippines in December for my cousin's wedding. We first needed to fill out some forms online and print it out, then head over to the post office to sign something in front of them and mail it. Unfortunately we were a little too late, the passport service thing was from 10-1pm. We got there at almost 3pm.. So instead we took my mom to the bank and had some frozen yogurt at tutti frutti.

MINES. I GOT TOO MUCH.. AND WASN'T ABLE TO FINISH IT.. :/ THE TARO ONE WAS GOOD AND THE PUMPKIN PIE.










AFTER this, we came home, and I went to pick up my boyfriend and headed to Autozone to look for some car accessories. My steering wheel is smaller than usual, so it was hard to find a steering wheel cover that fit. luckily i ran into this elastic looking steering wheel and it fit perfectly. For the seat covers.. no luck. I think i'm just going to go to the dealership for that one..



Do you see the cover?

Today we went to Valley Lexus to turn in Lexy.. She was definitely good to me. I will miss her dearly.

I was comparing the 2010 Lexus to Lexy 2007, and Lexy is more sportier. The gas pads, and break pedals look more racer-ish.. and also it had a nice blue lexus sign that lit up blue when you opened the door. The newer Lexus (ALexy) is more luxurious.. It definitely has a much smoother ride, and the seats are more cushioned. There are more features in the Navi part and an SOS button in case of emergency.
So overall, Lexy is more sportier, while Alexy is more luxurious.

Lexy:










Off to Modesto! My parents drove in Lexy while I followed them with Alexy.












I love the smell of brand spankin' new car!! Reminds me of the first my I got Lexy. The steering wheel feels really smooth, then overtime it the smoothness wore off.. Therefore i'm going to get a steering wheel cover!! I need as much protection in this car as possible since beige gets dirty quick, and I don't want my nasty hands all over the steering wheel.














Oh boye.. I have to take good care of this car. The interior is Beige.. Which means it will get dirty easily! No muddy dirty people in the car.. no eating in the car.. (although my boyfriend and I broke that rule today.. and he was the first one to ever drop a food particle on the seat.. -___- good thing it came off quick).. I'm gona go buy some car seat covers and a steering wheel cover and some floor mats. I will take really great care of this vehicle.

On Thursday, my parents scheduled a meeting at the Lexus dealership to either keep the car I have now, or try and see if their credit was good enough to get the new car. I wasn't with them at this time because I had class. My Mom kept telling me to pray, and she said that nothing is impossible with God. If you don't need or deserve that car, then God won't give it to you. I prayed, but I wasn't really praying for the car, I was just praying for my parents to be safe on their way to the dealership and on the way back. (the dealership was about 45mins away from them..) I wasn't really expecting anything to be honest.. time passed where I was just like.. it really doesn't even matter anymore.. I'm pretty content with the car I have now.. I wasn't all excited as I was back then. Then suddenly, my mom texted me and she said, we got your white car that we test drove back in August. I was pretty shocked.. My mom said their credit was really good, because instead of talking to the manager of the dealership she talked to the bank. I had a moment in silent, and just Thanked God for everything. I was sorta crying to him and asking him "Why me? There's other people out there who need it more than I do? But I thank you for giving me a wonderful family, and most caring parents." I felt bad.. and I was just wondering why.. my mom told me it's because I deserved it. Then the re-occurring saying that my mom kept telling me kept flowing through my head, "nothing is impossible with God, just pray and give him your full trust." I'm just speechless.. I'm so thankful for my parents.. I swear.. I love them soo much!! I Love you Mom and Dad, you both are my whole world, my life!

I'm going to miss my black Lexy.. We've been through a lot together.. So many memories.. We're bringing her back to the dealership Tomorrow morning. Love you Lex!

Good things come when you least expect it...

nah i'm kiddin. I have a black lexus IS350 that has ended it's lease after 4 years. After the 4 years, you can either pay it off, or get a different car and get a lease on that one. My plan was to get the same Lexus IS350 but in white.. I hecka love the white color! It's just so fresh and so clean clean! don't get me wrong, I love my black lexy to death! We've been through it all!

I came to the dealership with my parents today.. with little hope of getting the white IS350.. it was the only one there.. the rest are 250's. I had little hope.. because I knew the economy was bad.. & I didn't want to feel all bratty and whine about getting that car. It was just comforting to know that there was a possibility. However, once they were processing my parent's credit, I asked my parents if they were gonna take my car away if it get's approved they said yes. And I started to miss my car. But looking at that damn sexy white color was just blowing me away.. Unfortunately.. my parents credit scores weren't as high as they were when we first bought my car.. so the monthly payment and down payments would increase.. which was not a great thing..

The salesman, which is the same guy that sold us the my first car, kept insisting i get an IS250. I don't want to be all snotty and stuff, but once I get the higher end line, why the heck would i want to down-grade? Again, not to sound all stuck up.. but I just want to choose wisely. And My wise choice was to get that same IS350 but in WHITE! So.. I guess he wanted to make commission and all and kept telling me to get it.. and wanted me test drive it.. I did test drive it.. and It didn't have that nice speed or power that my car has. I don't know i'm use to my car, and how fast it goes amazes me. I don't want to down-grade it.. Idk if y'all understand.. some of you are probably thinking im hella snotty and spoiled.. but whatever..

Basically if i get the 250, I wont be as happy as with my 350. simple as that. My mom knew the look on my face and told the salesman.. "I can see the look on her face, and she doesn't like it.." LOL.. I mean it looks exactly the same and all.. but I wasn't feeling it.. I guess we have until November to make a decision.. Either to keep the car that I have now, or Hope that our credit will be better and get the new one.. honestly, I was a bit sad.. I really was.. but there's nothing we can do about it, and I completely understood that.

I know my parents were trying to cheer me up in the car too.. My Dad was like.. it's okay.. we'll go shopping around.. if they won't give us a deal we'll tell them we're gonna go to another dealership.. and My Mom said, "nothing is impossible with God." She kept saying.. watch.. nobody is going to want to buy from them because the economy is bad.. and they're going to give us a call and you'll get your dream car.. (even though my dream car is and ISF or a Lexus LFA LOL! ). But that was sweet of them to try and cheer me up. I know life is hard right now, and you cant always get what you want.
ahh.. it okay.. whatevs..
