make a wish foundation

so the past two days were spent doing all the things we wanted to do. yesterday, amanda, sarah, ally, and i went to the beach. it wasn't a very nice day so that was a bummer. we found cake couture and it was amazering! it's a little cupcake shop in aina hina shopping center. next to it was chuck c. cheese. having such a deprived childhood, i have not gone to one so this was my golden opportunity!!! what a letdown though. it looks like a nicer and cleaner version of fun factory. the robotic animal band is creepy as hell. that is fine, i get to say i've been to one :) for dinner a bunch of us ate shabu shabu. the broth choices were spicy or tomato beef. both kinda yucky for me but i powered through them. it was a good dinner but i wish it was more fulfilling if we chose a better tasting broth for me lol.

today made more wants come true! amanda wanted to go hiking so we did that in the gloomy weather. hiked makapuu and planned to go beach after but the weather was a fail. did an island road trip from east to haleiwa but it was storming during the drive. gg. amanda and i have never tried kahuku shrimp so we ate our fill today. i'm happy for the activities we've been doing since i am trying so hard to stay as busy as possible to keep my mind from racing.

new year's is coming up soon. time for resolutions.

blog worthy

let's talk saturday night. what made that particular night soooo blog worthy?? well, it was pretty lame but so much kinda could've happened throughout the night.

• bought alcohol for the first time using the fake. the lady started asking me and leon for our ages and i started freaking out haha
• UCLA and UW club night at xyloh with sarah and amanda. LAME. left after an hour half or so
• went to mikey's house for beer pong but everyone was all done by the time we got there
• wanted to eat so we went to toho's just to get kicked out since we weren't gonna drink. how embarrassing...
• finally went to million's and ate food

yeah, it was a super duper lame night. dunno what else to say about it except im glad to have gone out the very least.

where is the...

...christmas spirit??? like last year, this christmas doesn't seem like christmas. but i will be blogging some stuff that made it eventful thus far...

i realize as i get older, i get less presents. it's not about quantity, its quality. the stuff i get just gets better every year :) i spent a butt load of money but it was worth it. so far, every day i receive a present is christmas for me; they end up getting opened. i only have ONE unopened gift i'm trying so hard to save for the big day and that is a card sarah got for me. i finally got an iPod. its the green nano yayayayaya :D :D :D

luke's annual secret santa getogether was a great success! too bad so many people had to leave early, me being one of them. the jeopardy game was awesome!!! it was a lot of fun because my awesome possum team (amy and leon) kicked everyone else's tooshies. haha. props for lukie for coming up with that game and all those questions. my secret santa this year was amy cha-ang. she gave me a super pretty ds case. its more compact than the one i stood in line for 5 hours at walmart for. @_@.

oh christmas eve...i hope i end up doing something these couple of days.

fcuk wine

last night a wine distributor had their party at phuket thai and left like 8 unfinished bottles of wine. it was slammin' at work. danny sharon and neal came to eat so i got to see them :D after work, we drank most of the wine. i was just drinking the white ones but after about three and a half glasses i was fucked up. who would've guessed wine had such potency. screw drinking hards when you pregame, drink wine! it goes down easier and you get drunk so fast. idk how those little ladies share a bottle by themselves because i can't even handle. went to wailana coffee house after. thank you waitress for being so patient with us.

happy anniversary

happy one year anniversary, iDiary! over the course of the past 365 days, there have been SO much that has happened to me. i came home looking for refuge from my empty life in las vegas and i found it for the first half of the year at kcc. ran the entire length of the great aloha run to free myself from all ties that bind. i swore i had the good luck chuck curse but my heart healed a little from a school girl crush on my fellow classmate, aka my garden. found a great job at an unsuspecting restaurant which has taken me far. crazy summer nights at xyloh and venus. finally made a fantasy come true. smoked a lot of weed over the semester. endured the most dullest semester of my life at UH. now, 127 posts later...

i sometimes read over the entries i've written in the past and they bring back so many poignant memories. this year has been rough since i spent so much time forgetting las vegas times and stop feeling sorry for myself. this year wasn't as exciting as 2007 but it was still fun nonetheless. christmas is in four days, shit.

here is a song from britney spear's new album titled Quicksand:

final's week fiasco

update: so after much studying, i think i did bad on my TIM final. whatevers, so over that class. since i am FREE, please call me, text me, anything to go out! i'm down for anything!

for having only two finals, this week has sure been stressful. i think it's the distraction that everyone is back home. i know i can just pick up my phone and call someone and i could be doing something much more entertaining than reading. and there is something always good on tv when you're clearly occupied with more important things.

today was my chinese final. it was at an ungodly hour of 7:30 AM! i was up before the sun was out which never happened this semester thus far. i had a mandatory wine tasting for phuket thai last night which kept me out until 12. whoopie doo, wine tasting before a huge exam, chee! haha. it was good since i learned a lot about wines. chinese final was a breeze and now its time for TIM. dun dun dunnnnnn! i think i've basically given up on it already. just do it and i should be fine. ill settle for a B.

weather sucks. my legs are as white as those coming home from the mainland. sad.

broken wallet? no, broken heart

today i spent so much money i swore my heart was breaking. i only have a couple more gifts left. i guess it doesnt help im feeling generous. i think my friends deserve quality gifts and i give it to them in according to how they deserve/need it. times are definitely hard, probably be super chang after the holiday season is over. blahhh

it was great to see everyone home! no one look any different and it didnt seem like a few months has passed since i've last seen them. it sucks that everyone is back home and us UH folks still have finals. the next few days will be dedicated to studying, yuck.

i swear i had more to write but i can't seem to think of anything else :/ until next time, i guess haha.

strollin'

shhhhhhh! i'm suppose to be doing my extra credit work for astronomy but instead i've decided to do some blogging :D the semester is ALMOST done! UH is dumb for having it a week longer than all the other schools. i guess i'm pretty fortunate that my finals are gonna be cake. i need a 50% for my chinese written final to keep my A so the only one i need to study hard for is TIM. not bad at all...

i took a walk last night around downtown by myself. it was nice to see all the pretty lights. i walked to all of my favorite spots that i find appealing at night and i wish i could take someone with me the next time. i returned to my second favorite spot for the first time in about maybe five years? nothing has changed except for the company since i had none lol. i wonder if i would go see the honolulu lights this year. last year, i almost didn't go since i had no one to go with but thank goodness for my boys! this year is definitely gonna be different fo sho.

everyone is coming home soon! i'm so excited yet nervous at the same time. excited to see my friends and nervous due to some trust issues with things. there is just so much to do and so little time! like what i mentioned in previous posts about skydiving, well, i don't know about that anymore...sorry guys! idk, i started freaking out as i was reading some reviews on it. maybe it's a little too much to swallow at such a young age.

come winter

hello december!

this month is kicking off so so. its been having its ups and downs. like i mentioned in the last post, it is definitely not going to be a cheap month. i'm really excited for everyone to come back home! i am in desperate need to go to the beach since im getting pastey kine white! basically so far this week, i've been working choke. it was a good weekend since i made a lot of money. i was losing faith in my job and when i finally made a bill on thursday i felt much better :) it doesnt really feel like christmas is coming up. not too much christmas spirit around since not a lot of places are decorated yet. i think by the state capital they are using LED lights. it looks so yucky! its like a blueish tinge light....tch, damn the economy!

the great aloha run is also coming up in about two months and sign ups are happening. time to get on top of that. this past year i ran it to get over someone. the previous time before that i ran it for the one i loved. what would next year's run be for??
