woke up early to do homework, clean and nap in the hours before going to work.
well, cleaned mostly everything except all the piled up dishes. it stinks again so i don't want to go near it. i'll get to it...but probably not until tuesday. sick, i know. closed tonight. working double tomorrow and close.

g'day, mate!

[friday]
the vh1 blog webside actually stated that "VH1[it] has postponed any future airings" of the show "megan wants a millionare". that is the model that was gruesomely hacked up. duh.


i woke up at 8:25 and relized i had five minutes to get to work. i was only a couple of minutes late.
f.p.r.n.s.b. and i had a nice cusomter who tipped us with gift certificates to kona brewing. cheeee.
had a couple of beers after work.
rode around in the back of a pick-up in the afternoon to sandy's until the sun went down.
it was quite an adventure.
twas a good day.

i'm watching oprah. dane cook is on.
he's on the show and now it's showing a clip of him previously talking about orprah and he's mocking her saying "everybody gets a humpback whale!!"
found it: dane cook making fun of oprah.
hilarious.


today's jumping fish was the closest one has ever been to me. maybe about three feet away. it's pretty big up close.

Sagittarius - August 29, 2009

There is a restrictive, sober tone to the day that may tend to wear you down, dear Sagittarius. The trick to working this energy to your advantage, however, is to adjust your game plan to fit the mood of the day. Take care of mundane chores and small obstacles. Make realistic plans, and follow through with your short-term goals. Water your plants. Do things that require discipline and grounding.

and doing things is what i did today.
woke up early and was (willingly) at school by 8:30 a.m. to take some pictures and talk to some people about a pond cleanup on campus today. it was actually not a bad time at all, and i was excited to finally have a place to wear the rain boots ann got me a million years ago.
was home before noon and spent the rest of the afternoon working on school stuff and relaxing befor work.


work wasn't bad. saw my crazy exboyfriends old friend there. he told me my ex was in jail...and perhaps for quite a while. sad that he chose to live his life this way, but you reap what you sew.


guess my bod wasn't feein' the bibimbap i ate before leaving work since it all just came up a couple of minutes ago. yum. i hope thats the end of it.


you know who i miss? puppy.

i <3 postcards...(IX)

vegas, from neeesh.



disney, from lala her "favorite ride" when she was younger:

p90x.

neeesh burned me the p90x videos.
j.rak bought it from her friend.
we are both suppose to start it this coming monday. an hour a day of hard, hard exercise. i'm feeling a bit intimidated and scuuured, but i know if i can just get into a routine it'll be easier. i'm in the process of getting the needed equiptment: (?) pull up bar, push-up plates, dumbells, yoga ball (?)...i don't actually have the booklets, so i'm just going with what others have told me until i get confirmation from j.rak who does indeed have the books.

i do have the time as long as i don't waste my time.


oh yah, we are going to be doing a dual-p90x-blog. tba.

thinking thoughts on thursday...

mostly school thoughts: story thoughts, homework thoughts, ect. it's only the second day of school and i'm pretty busy already.


plans for a second girl's dinner ("minus the excessive drinking" according to kam).



Sagittarius - August 27, 2009

At the moment, this is an auspicious time for you, dear Sagittarius. It bestows upon you the energy and enthusiasm you need to make the changes that are necessary in your life. There is a lot of work to be done, but you are up to the task! First steps would be to focus on your relationships. Your loved ones care not a whit about your professional successes; they want (and perhaps need) to spend more time with you. Do what you can to bring your life more into balance.

MSN Astrology

...there is a lot of work to be done, but mostly in school. i feel completely opposite of focusing on relationships at this time; it is nice cruising with the girls again though.

feeling fresh.

had a good first day of school yesterday. i am definitely not a fan of the parking issues at uh, but i eventually found a decently close spot and luckly i have a small car which makes for easier parking.

met up with b-sauce who knows the campus quite well and got some lunch. saw t.d.'s boyfriend who started an eunterpenuer club (which i'm thinking about joining btw. dork). i'm excited about the journalism class. and, well, math is math.

had a long time over-due girl's night out with beer, sake, skittle shots (which taste exactly like skittles) and vodka. small kine headache.

off today. the breeze is blowing through the house and i got no real plans but to start on the homework that i already have. it seems like a norah jonesy afternoon. i like it. things are fine besides that my ear is kind of hurting. nande ka wakaran...

found a wheelchair on the side of the road outside my place today. it kind of sucks for wheelchair tricks though because the wheels are small, and it's just a little awkward. hmm...

Sagittarius - August 26, 2009

You have strong psychic vision, dear Sagittarius. Some people might say that you are prophetic, but in reality your gift is a combination of creativity and intuition. You can use this to benefit others. And, in fact, have often done so. You are known as someone who dispenses good advice. But today, be sure to do so with some restraint. People are listening closely to what you have to say. If you advise someone to jump off a bridge, they just might do it!

goodbye summer.

for some, school is in session starting today...but for me, i get to wait until tomorrow. excited? somewhat. nervous? yes. why? idk.

Sagittarius - August 24, 2009

Try to curb your tongue today, dear Sagittarius. There is no reason to lash out at others. You will find that the more sensitive the approach you take, the farther you will get in your pursuit of whatever it is you are aiming for. Today might find you feeling a bit moody, and it could be that your emotions are running away with you. Get in touch with your feelings instead of pushing them away. More than likely, there is something important that they are trying to tell you.

MSN Astrology

...hum...


decided definitely about not getting another car right now. i can't afford both and i love the bug.


it is sad to see summer go...but i do love fall. wish i could see some fall leaves, but the memories of them will do. fall in minnesota is beautiful, but only for a short time, then you freeze your ass off.

Sunday, August 23, 2009

sensable sunday.

Sagittarius - August 23, 2009

Your freedom is more important to you than anything else in your life. It is often very difficult for you to get involved, whether personally or professionally. Nevertheless, dear Sagittarius, today you may have to think about it. Could it be that your thirst for freedom is just an escape? You may feel it necessary to think about this question. Who knows? You may just decide to take the leap!

MSN Astrology

...professionally, i would say...with school. time to buckle down and jump (if that makes any kind of sense). personally, new roommates.


so i was just chatting with my mom a while on the phone...mostly concerning cars. yes, i am thinking about taking a more responsible approach and perhaps getting a more reliable care. something boring and plain-jane, blah. but not unless i can have both...

oh yah, my mom told me, "take your mace just in case." hahah. she's funny.


well i guess this is growing up.


ten feet version of: i'm yours.

work was aight.

simply, saturday.

so after snorkeling bob, haha, ate the same 'ol at salad creations and finished cleaning up that huge mess in the hallway and the elephant bathroom and relaxed at home.

my computer chair had been busted for a while but i just left it like that because it wasn't that bad. then i started using this old-school chair i found on the side of the road in kailua. the leg on it was semi-broken...but it is now un-sittable. olive loves climbing up it though so i set it up by the breezy window and now she has a spot where she can easily see outside. and now i'm using a stool.


Sagittarius - August 22, 2009

You have been working exceptionally hard lately, dear Sagittarius. Today would be a good day for you to recharge your batteries. It seems everyone wants a piece of you, and it could be that you have reached the point where you have nothing left to give. It's OK for you to say as much. If you can, take the phone off the hook and reserve the day for yourself. Take time to sleep in, to meditate, to go for a walk. You get the idea!

MSN Astrology

...i guess the day was pretty to myself. i mean, snorkeling around alone is sort of meditating. f.p.r.n.s.b. said that today was my day to be a tourist, so i was (until i had to go to work).

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

work=pretty shitty:
as soon as i got to work i had to use the eye medecine to flush out my eye... the kitchen manager was trying to make really spicy gyoza and had me test one out. it didn't taste to spicy, but a few minutes after grabbing the piece of gyoza with my thumb and pointer and eating it, i touched my eyeball. baddd idea. it burned soooo bad, messed up my make-up... of course it would happen to me.
then most of the tables i had sat there for frickin ever...and none of them were particularly nice this evening.
and i dropped a shoyu dish.
and i didn't really make that much money.



click: scar tissue.

a new s.b.

...snorkel bob, that is. that's what i did this morning. f.p.r.n.s.b. works there.

it's actually a very simply concept using the law of bubbles in water (if that were a real scientific law). basically you're head is in the bubble. has a nice, fairly clear and somewhat warped view, requires no swimming and normal breathing. the hardest part (which isn't really hard at all) is just popping your ears.

saw a turtle when we first arrived. snorkeled around the area and saw the statue of buddah about thirty feet under. there were a lot of fish around. we were feeding them bread; one of those really colorful ones nipped at my thumb, but it didn't hurt.


what is that fish trying to do to my oshiri?

can't have the sweet without the sour.

day went by quick out on the water today...j was back; good times.


in the evening my house was a sasage factory (which is pretty usual). i invited a couple of my girl-friends over, but no can come...
f.p.r.n.s.b. (foreign puerto rican new scuba boy) said don't worry about everything: karma will take care.
and i k.o.'d.


i can't believe school is starting t u e s d a y. wow.



thought about changing my name to "sour d" instead. (because i am right now)

love is a drug.

People may be somewhat selfish and self-centered today, but this doesn't mean that you need to be too, dear Sagittarius. Remind others of the importance of the collective, and that we all need to pitch in and do our part to be happy. You have the ability to offer a great deal of balance to the situation, and you should definitely put this to the test. Do what you can to make the scales tip back to center.

so this room make-over turned into a revamp of the whole house. fixed up one of the extra rooms decently. probably my favorit thing about it (besides the mexican blanket) is the drawer in the desk that has random gadjets and toys to play with.

found some cool things in the closet...a coin collection, some pictures that i used the frames of and some other goodies.

going to turn the downstairs bathroom into the "elephant bathroom". so far two large elephants pics and four random elephants for it. i need a small one to hang on the door.



so tareeek came over to cruise and do some more laundry. today i overheard him telling his friend on the phone he still does laundry over here even though his washing machine is now fixed. i don't mind though, like he said, he enjoys the coversation, as do i.
so some old fling of his called him up while he was over for what he thinks is a "booty call". after getting lost all over hawaii kai i finally dropped him off. for all that driving, i hope he does get some. i didn't really mind the driving though because i was driving the el camino, and i'm going to be giving it back soon :( . however, the bug does seem to be not leaking oil anymore :) .


>>>>>>>>>>>>


ah, home at last; today was quite a jouney. i was big pimpin' on the last drive to work with the el camino. had to leave it there with it's righful owner...and take the bus home. so i left work about 10:30 p.m., walked to fairly sketch busstop about fifteen mintues away. at first sat down to a homeless lady i had seen around that area before. at that time she had been wiggin' out over nothing; but she seemed calm so i just sat down on the opposite end of the bench. she eventully left and a chinese man came. he was very friendly and we chatted a lot. somehow me and him know two of the same people (through restraunt work, but still, kind of nuts).
didn't get home until 12:15 a.m. wow, i couldn't not do that everyday.


had a lot of time to think about things on the bus.
although i know there's a million fish in the sea, it's always hard for me to actually believe it and just let shit go. of course i can never imagine the great person that is going to come along someday (just as i couldn't have of imagined o.d. walking through chris' front door and into my life)...but i know it will happen, and i will be happy and i will be fine. the letting go part is just never easy. but it is time (for real, this time).

besides, as my mom would always says: why would you want to be with anyone that doesn't want to be with you?

"he's just not that into you"...just as the dvd laying on your coffee tables reads.



i almost forgot to mention that i saw dog the bounty hunter drive by me today while i was getting gas.

wash away wednesday.

so i got home this afternoon and watched some oprah. it was about cleaning house...so i got really motivated to de-clutter my room, my life. i really didn't get rid of that much, i just really organized everything and put stuff in boxes that i never use. and more or less hid the clutter. six hours later my room is much more open and feels better.
fresh start.
(oh yah, even: cleaned up and zip-tied all the electrical chords around my compuuuuter. and took the curious georges off my bed. have the book shelf going. have NO stray cups; they're all put away. ...maturing...booo-ya.)


kinda seems like i'm not so close with the people i was so close with before. mostly just j.rak and she's so far.



click: are you happy now?

holy smokers for high school music: all you wanted.



oh yah. if my work has a new pupu called "sweet spuds" (the sweet potato fries), i named it. ;)

temptation on tuesday.

hose was busted on the bug...so hopefully it should be all "g" now. gotta keep an eye on it the next couple of days.
no, i don't want to give the el camino back yet!

had a lazy laundry day with tareeek, although it wasn't that lazy. we got some things accomplished and ate a l o t. (including some delicioso mangos) O O


failed.

wheresgeorge?

today one of the dollar bills i got at work had the "currenty tracking study" stamp at www.wheresgeorge.com.
you simply fill out the information on the dollar bill and register as user. from this dollar bill i found that:
this bill has travelled 12 miles in 11 days, 4 hrs, 1 min at an average of 1.1 miles per day. it is now 12 miles from its starting location.
(basically it's first log was just on aug 6 in honolulu. kind of lame, this one)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

spent that dollar today. not exactly sure where (somewhere in koko marina)...but i'll be able to find it as long as someone tracks it along it's journious life.
