Ketchup.

Welllll seeing as I haven't posted since coming out to school, it's about time I play some catchup. This semester has been such a blast with oh so many great adventures. Tooo bad I've only taken about three pictures since I've been here... Thankfully some of my friends are quite addicted to "instagram" and or "facebook". These new addictions have made it much easier for me to steal pictures from them.

The TWILIGHT PREMIERE.
My roomies and I packed a few cars full and drove 45 min to the Kaneohe theater. Thats dedication, right? I can't say I'm the most hardcore fan out there [seeing as I've only red the first book and watched the first two movies] but let me tell ya, these movies never fail to entertain. I don't think they're meant to be comedy, but if you were to ask me which genre they fit under... I'd say comedy.
(with Karla and Sav in the Theater)

Just chilling in the theater, waiting for Kanisha to arrive with our tickets.

BLUE SCHOLARS BABY.
We hit up their concert up before going to Twilight.
Man, they are so good. and they're from
SEATTLE.
Represent.

How did I never realize how fine that man in the white collared shirt was?! (NBD Thats me in the patterned shirt ^^^)

TB
These past two months I've had a pretty bad cough. I was talking to the madre on the phone a few months ago and she told me I shout probably get it checked out since I still have never finished taking those TB meds. Instead of taking her advice I went to Foodland to get a new prescription of meds. They wouldn't give them to me because the refill date had expired about six months ago. So last week I went to the school Health Center to get the prescription renewed. The Dr. wouldn't do it for me. In fact, because I couldn't stop coughing while I was there, they told me I had to go to the ER and get a chest x-ray done to make sure it hadn't become active. They went on to tell me I probably shouldn't have contact with people until I got my results (which meant I was unable to take my test in the testing center.) The nurse came in and started telling me how serious it was and how the whole state department would have to come in and shut done everywhere I'd been if anything came of the x-ray. Anyways.... I got my x-rays back and No worries guys, I'm all clear. But they still told me I had to go to town for a new prescription of meds.
On Monday Karla and I made the long road trip(probably the longest day in town we have ever had)to Honolulu and found this ghetto A**building. To give you an idea, as we walked in the front doors their were two homeless people sleeping next to the door. When we got in one lady asked if either of us had a quarter. We said we didn't and then another lady piped in and told her to ask Jesus.

WHO KNEW they had a whole building dedicated to TB?!

I found the whole situation quite Hilarious. They had a t.v. set up in the corner giving you information about TB.
In the end, I left the place with the "Mercedes Benz" choice of meds.
And I'll be peeing neon orange for the next four months.
(I'm expecting a Party to be thrown fo me)

KANISHA'S BIRTHDAY.
(Charades. **Warning, don't beat Kanisha or she may end up strangling you)
One of our roommates, Melissa, kept rubbing in the fact that her team won. She knew Kanisha was super competitive. So in doing so she asking to start something (sorta how Matty loves pestering people). Out of nowhere Kanisha leaps across the couch and starts strangling Melissa. It sounds so terrible but after Melissa was able to breath again it was hilarious.

BESTIES.
all my lovers right hurrr.
Kanish, Giselleyy, (Sean), me, Karlita, Syd, Sav and TayTay

Estella
(I think thats the name they decided on for their car)
Kanish, Sav and I went to town for dinner with one of Sav's friends from home.

Hanauma, Spitting, Costco and Tubbing
Hanauma Bay is so fun. Every time I go it reminds me how much I wish I was a mermaid. You just snorkel and see tons of cool fish. We saw four turtles this time. After Hanauma we went to Spitting Caves which is this 70ft jump. I didn't do it this time, but it'll happen. After that we went to Costco for dinner and then went pool hopping in town. The Mariott in Waikiki has a super nice pool/tub on the roof so we just went swimming there. And then on the way home I got pelted in the face with rain drops (sitting in the bed of a truck for an hour and a half on the freeway while it's pouring, don't worry mom we found a random bench seat and put it in the back to sit on...)
Spitting Caves Hanauma Bay

AIONO'S CAME TO VISIT
Tay and Syds family came to visit. It was so fun hanging out with them! Alex sang for us, he's amazing. They took us out to dinner (twice!) and they got us a hotel room to stay in town for a night.


just a hardcore spoonfest.
Syd, Karl, Tay, Kanish, Rach, Me, Senn and Sav

Slacklining and Sunday Dinners.

FOODFEST.
Man oh man, I love my work uniform so much I would wear it everyday all day if I could.

GOODBYE CAIO
Being owned by the government and all Caio had to go back to Utah.
but we had a partayyy before he left.
Complete with tinfoil dinners (which Sean provided - shocker!)

OUR AWESOME FORT
We watched just friends.
"forgiveness. is more than saying sorry." was stuck in my head for days later.
Caios sarcastic humor and funny comments have been greatly missed since he left town.

the never ending HALLOWEEN
there were halloween parties galore this year.
by the time the actual halloween day came I was ready for it to be done.
The first night, at the school dance, I was a vampire.
The next night I was a hippie, and the last night I was an 80's girl.
I was told that all my costumes are "cop out" costumes.
On Monday night, the actual night of Halloween Sean, Kanish, Tyler, Josh and I went to Waikiki to walk and see all the Crazy costumes.
We saw some crazies, but my favorite costume was the I pad X.
Towards the end of the night people started getting tackled by cops and we started seeing more skin....
Night 2
School halloween dance party, night 1.
Jumped off the point after at 2am. Wahoo.
Favorite halloween costume of our night in Waikiki.
our Halloween town group.

Syd. Just being a Hot model.

Madre sent a package.
and the whole house loves her.
tankies mommy.

Adventures with SydSyd.

PCC with PATRICK
Seans friend Patrick came to visit.
He's flippin' hilarious and I hope he decides to come live out here.
We went on lots of crazy adventures.
At the PCC he went up in the Samoan Village and played the drums.
He was so funnnnnny!

THRIFTING

Everyday I ask myself why I didn't buy this.
Worst mistake of my life.
Mission; find a pant suit thing as awesome as this one.

Kaneohoe Adventures
another fun day in town with the ladies.
Got some jamba.
Went shopping.
and ate out at ruby tuesdays.
mmmm. yumm.

SKYDIVING
It finally happened!
The airplane ride up was amazing.
I loved being able to see the Northshore from an aerial view.
Anyone debating if they should go, just go.
I wasn't scared or nervous at all.
I thought at least my heartbeat would start to speedup, but that didn't even happen.
It was just cool.
Except for the screeching ears.
But everything else made it so worth it.
Patrick, Taylor, Sean, Caio, Rachel, me

BUNKERS
[Breaking and entering]
These old military bunkers are closed and locked.
Good thing we're friends with Sean who knows the code to get in.
The bunkers are filled with old movie posters/props that are signed by casts.
We climbed a bunch ladders to get to the top and look out at the ocean.
Their was cool graffiti all over the walls on the top floor.

^^^This pic took some skill.
Patrick had to lay it in between the slits, hit the timer, climb down the ladder quickly and smile for the photo.

EASTERS PARTY
Cindy's BF had a birthday.
We all had a surprise party for him and it was so fun.
Karla and I loved being able to hang out with all our good friends from last year.

Exhausted
I've passed out on Karlitas couch a few too many times this year.


I have a job.
don't be jealous of my uniform.

First Saturday Back in HI. Karlita's Birthday
Our long days in town never fail to be entertaining.
Complete with 5 hrs in costco
broken jelly jar
starbucks
pillow pets
passport pictures

A little recap on the Utah Vacation.
Look how awesome my family is.
I just love them all.



I whip my hair back'n forth. I whip it real good.
Youtube; Photobooth Prank
You'll be laughing for days.
...At least Jamie was.

Alpine Slides.
a few of us ate it pretty hard, but it was oh so fun!

Zip Line baby
Tucanos
mmmmmm good
glad we got to see the Bradshaws - and Thomas's beard.
I'm pretty sure our large group took up half the restaurant.
Tubing.
Matty being his hilarious self decided it would be fun to taunt me. He loved pretending to throw me in - The water was freezing.

Water Slide.
I'm pretty sure Lingle was the First one to go down the slide. Major shocker I know.The summer changed her. She loves adventures now! I never thought I'd see the day! It was so fun, but terribly cold. Oh how Hawaii has turned me into a WIMP.
Three man train.
K-hoff, me and Lingle.
Since when would she ever willingly go down a rock water slide?!

I don't exactly remember why we had this random photo shoot in the Kitchen, but I'm guessing Lingle was heading to school.

I AM FREE.

I have likeeeeee, 5 pictures from this entire summer. So sad.
but I have had nothing to take a picture of.
my summer has consisted of work. work. and work. oh and thenn some more work.
I AM DONE.
Last day was yesterday.
They were so nice.
We (some of my work friends and I) went to Sushi for lunch they PAID FOR MY LUNCH and then they let me go home 2 1/2 hours early. AND they paid me for those hours! How nice are they?! All in all it's been a pretty good job. super boring at times,
I've learned oh-so-much, take a look.
Looked at thousands of Pictometry Images.
Learned what years were typically best.
How to search for houses/addresses.
How to use google earth.
When tree coverage was and wasn't ok.....
Obviously very valuable information.
but ------->> No more looking at roofs for me :)


Aside from staring at roofs I've done a few other thing since being home;
Ran the Firecracker 5000

took some super attractive pics with the sis

Watched Dingle Graduate.

Went to Folklife :)

Ran some run... don't remember what it was for.

Hiked Wallas Falls

oh yeahhh.

I've done very little so far but my summer is about to get really exciting.
1 day: Utah :)
2 days: TENNESSEE :]

Kara Ann, thanks for being so gosh darn entertaining tonight.
This wall post started it all :)

It doesn't sound funny when I try to explain it, but.....
Kara posted this random picture of someones enormous ring on my wall.
Turns out she had creeped on one of our friends friends and decided to share it with (which I will forever be grateful for) haha
After talking about how creepy we were the girls fiance saw the picture AND commented on it.
Lets just say this had me crying and drooling because I was laughing sooo hard.

I also stalked the girl with the huge rings blog (we need to get a creepin' certificate) and posted a picture from it on Kara's wall :)
yup.
We're total creepers.

But the night just kept getting better.
The padre decided to use the word "FLOOZY" "Low cut underwear" and "gangster neighborhood" all in the same sentence.
Win.

Mei Ling made me read this tonight:
"GRAPHIC, GROSS yet hilarious....when I first set eyes on this, I thought Chewbacca. LOL! But this is my almost 2 yr old daughter who thought she'd like to wake up and play with her brother's shitty diaper at 2 am! I'm still in gross mode, even tho they have both been to put to beds with a bath. Gotta enjoy parenthood!"
Kara shared this sweet song with me tonight and it reminded me of how much I like it.




We also talked about my sister Kristin being a Floozy (which she really isn't), but it was lots of fun since she didn't know what it meant.
Aweeeee what an entertaining night.
I got the giggles quite a few times.

:]
(the kara smiley)
Good luck with chemo round two Kara.
And good luck on your travels B-ray and Ryan.

This is my best friend Kara.
loveher.



My sister loves her too.

fail.


Waaaaahhhhhhh!!
this week has been a little crazy.
and by that i mean i've slept waaaayyy too much.
the plan was to do a couple blog posts at the airport,
then i could be done with my two for the week...
little did i know they now charge for internet use.
coool.
so the week is almost over and i haven't done one yet.
yikes.

last sunday i made a video for my friend kara's birthday.
it was actually pretty fun.
i need to be better at taking pictures so i can make more videos :)


i can't believe i left Hawaii.
i miss it.
i can't wait to go back in July.
i'm pretty sure everyone would love it, so feel free to come visit me :)
i'm planning on going skydiving and parasailing in August.
feel free to join.

i've decided to start insanity.
oh yes.
it's time to get back in shape,
and i decided who better than Shaun T to help me with that.
i've been pretty stinkin' lazy this week.
i blame that on being jet lagged...
but i don't know if you can really be jet lagged from only a 3 hour difference...
i'll make sure to be over it soon.
:D
