i'm in love with this song conveniently located on your right hand side. this song kinda reminds me of lupe fiasco. i miss my lupe fiasco era. wheeee.
i bought shon an iphone the other day. it's my long overdue birthday/christmas present. i swear he loves that device more than me. i am j. i must say it's really cool since you can install so many fun apps on it. i kinda want one too now. the only problem is that i rather get an unlock one and keep tmobile since it's so much cheaper than at&t. shon's new plan will run him $110 a month...geez. and another problem is that i cannot keep my number now if i change plans within tmobile. WHAT!? weird, right?!?! yeah idk.

boredom reigns
it is martin luther king day. instead of partying hard last night and sleeping in and vegging out all day today, i am at my internship. i started bright and early at 8 am until 4pm. this sucks since i have absolutely no work to do. i should've brought another textbook because the one i brought with me, i read the chapters i needed in less than an hour. T_T
school has started last week and so far so good. my classes seem pretty interesting but i hope i can keep up with the work load since it's pretty heavy on the writing but without the WI credit...lame. chinese 212 is a pain the butt. instead of doing anything by hand, i have to write all my pinyin online which proved to be extremely time consuming since i was never really that good with my pinyin. it doesn't help my laptop no longer has a backspace key...it's just a little nubby button. you don't realize how many times you push the backspace key to correct your typing until you don't have one. so irritating since i can't delete stuff as fast as before.
this past friday i wasn't planning on going out but thank goodness i did!!! my original plan was to just cook dinner for one and buy a bottle of wine and drink myself silly. i did the former but i couldn't afford the latter -_- i made a cheesy pasta dish and threw in some chicken and broccoli. since i can't cook, it was way too salty lol. went to ginza afterwards (total last minute on my part) and i had a blast. i left a little earlier since i had work the next morning but i met up with shon and some coworkers at exotic nights. this was the worst strip club experience of my life. everyone demanded a tip for EVERYTHING. check my review on yelp.
saturday i ended up working a double. it was actually pretty good since i made about $200 that day. it was much needed since i've been spending money ferociously since school started. didn't go out saturday and worked and did homework on sunday. so good me.
my life needs more drama because my blog is getting hella boring!

BIG island vacay
i was super stoke to go on a trip with shon this past weekend. unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, it was ended short...sigh. everything is alright, false alarm but i was pretty bummed out regardless.
thursday: arrived at hilo at 8:30ish. got picked up by kim (shon's sis) and she drove us to her house. it was super country. it reminded me of a beach house. she showed us this beach which was literally across the street. it wasn't too much of a beach since it was all rocks but it was nice. afterwards, we drove the north side to kona. we stopped by waipio look out and this other beach along the way. we drove almost 100 miles. oahu is about 100 miles around, big island is roughly 100 to go over ONE side! got to kona, checked into our hotel, napped, ordered genki sushi takeout, napped, bought safeway groceries, watched a movie, ktfo.
friday: on our way to the place of refuge, we got kinda lost. i suck at map reading. we took the scenic route which we were kinda glad we did since it was pretty neat. checked out the place of refuge. if the hawaiians were to break a kapu (their taboo laws) they were usually sentenced to death. they have to run away and come to this place as sanctuary. no blood is allowed to be shed here. they were then forgiven and sent back off to their daily lives. anyways, i love this place. the history is so rich here and to imagine this was once a thriving community just blows my mind. after this, we drove back to our hotel and walked around ali'i drive. we ate at a buffet across our hotel, $96 for two buffets and a bottle of wine. i could barely walk afterwards.
saturday: since we had unforeseen circumstances, i rebooked our flight to fly back to honolulu that evening. we quickly drove to south point checked out the scene and drove to volcano national park. the park was huge. we didn't have too much time to do a lot so we checked out the crater and the lava tube. got into hilo and went to two ladies kitchen. shon and i both ordered a 9 piece strawberry mochi box and when we got to the airport, we got 16 pieces. did we get lucky or just the wrong order?
i miss the big island, A LOT. all the food i ate there were amazingly delicious. i guess since i had to come home earlier, i felt a little cheated and didn't get to experience my ENTIRE vacation. oh wells, there's always spring break!
