SNOW DAYYY!!!
Do You Wanna Build A Snowmannn...
So today I watched this video & it was awesome. So please watch it---Miranda Sings
Today was a pretty awesome day. Woke up & ate a nice bowl of frosted flakes. Gerald woke up before me & was setting up his new iPhone 5s. I went ahead & cleaned the kitchen which was fun, yeah, I know, cleaning can be kinda fun. I reorganized the canned goods cabinet, put the dishes away, reorganized all our snacks & stuff. Then I tackled the oven top which gave my arms a workout. Took out the trash with Gerald.
Then after my housewife duties was done, sat on my computer & just chilled along with the boyfriend. We had to go pick up our package from Allan, but before that, made myself a turkey/ham sandwich with tortilla chips with cheese & salsa and sour cream. Then Gerald made himself saimin. Then we got ready to head out into the cold.
But before we did that we went up to the roof to take polaroids of ourselves since it was a beautiful day & the snow was freshly fallen. But, because it's too cold, the polaroids didn't come out right. Well, one of them didn't & the other one did, the one of me did, take a look-see:

Anyhow, after that we caught the bus to the post office to pick up the shirts from Allan which was this:
 |
| Our annual Kahiau T-Shirts. |
Thank you Papa Willow!!!
On our way back home we decided to walk & we passed a park where there was fresh snow that was touched yet & this is what I did:
 |
| My very first Snow Angel |
Came home & relaxed some more. Was gonna make Mom's Pork Chops & Cream of Mushroom, but we ended up making spam musubi's. Gerald FaceTimed with Ria today on his new macbook. And now we're just watching youtube video's of Ellen Paige singing Memory. Which is pretty epic. Here watch it: Memory.
Well, that is all for tonight, it is currently 21:56 & it's time for bedtime, but Gerald is making me watch "Jellicle Songs For Jellicle Cats" before we turn in. Till later.

Happy One Year New York
A year ago today, we had breakfast at Bogart's on Monsarrat near Diamond Head Theatre with Mom, Shasta, Ria, & Gerald. Delicious Acai Bowls, Ono Shrimp Fried Rice, & of course their ever so delicious Belgian Waffles w. Bananas & Nutella. This would serve as our last Hawaii establishment where we were partaking in our last breakfast in Hawaii before getting on our one-way flight on Hawaiian Airlines to begin our new adventure in New York.
We dropped Ria off at school & then headed home to Ewa to finish packing our bags & then headed over to the airport.
My aunties were there along with my cousins. Lehua stopped by & tears had to be held back. Aunty LeeAnn prayed over us & everything was checked in & all that was left was to say goodbye to Mom, Dad, Shasta, the aunties, & the cousins. The Goodbyes weren't as bad as I thought it was, up until I hugged Shasta & the tears started flowing out of my eyes. Mom didn't cry & neither did Dad. Goodbyes always suck no matter how many times you do it.
But this goodbye was the first goodbye of many goodbyes that will always be hard. The one that informs your brain & your heart that you won't see these people that you love & see on a weekly basis for a very long time. But of course we did these goodbyes twice more in 2013. When we came home for Ria's graduation in May & then again for vacation in October.
2013, was by far, the best year I have ever had & I am not at all exaggerating. Everything in life that could possibly make me happy happened in this fine year. And that only makes me more excited for 2014.
We moved in the dead of winter, from 80 degree weather to 30 degree weather within 24 hours. The first day we got here I had rented a van to transport ourselves as well as our luggages. We did a huge Target run for everything that we needed for the apartment, which was going to be ready by February/March. We got our televisions from Best Buy, because, you need tv, you really do. The next couple of weeks was looking for jobs, getting reacquainted with New York, & basically enjoying life before we both had to go back to work. Gerald met our neighbor who worked at the Old Navy on 18th street who was a Visual Merchandiser Manager & suggested that Gerald get transferred to his store instead of going to 34th street's store. And that worked out very well. I got an interview with the New York Kids Club & immediately got hired & have really enjoyed working for the company ever since joining them last year.
Cara moved here in March & immediately found a job at Demarco's. We had many visitors throughout out the year. Ria came up in May. Heather stayed with us for couple days. Dani celebrated her 24th birthday here. Nikki took us to see Lorde's first ever tour in the U.S. Jessica came & stayed with us after moving away from Hawaii to scope out the city. We met up with Megan while she was here for a bit, before she made her move to London. My cousin Chloe & her friend Julia stopped by enroute to Italy. Leilani visited for couple days & got us drunk almost every night that she was here. We were also blessed to have been able to hang out with my high school friends Chaz & Bronson while they were here visiting. Chavonne came up too & we all had a really nice dinner at Serendipity. Along with friends visiting, Autumn moved up here in August, Drew is moving here sometime in February & Shasta moved to Connecticut with her boyfriend Robert back in September.
We saw Winter go into Spring. Spring go into Summer. Summer go into Fall. And then finally Fall into Winter. Spring was beautiful, flowers blooming everywhere in neat little rows. Temperature got a little warmer. Summer was hot & not just hot during the day, even during evenings & also at 2 in the A.M. Hottest it got was mid 90's. We tried to hold out on getting an air conditioner, but one morning, I woke up & could not handle it & finally I walked up the street to the hardware store & purchased an AC, of course couple days after that it got cooler, but at least we have an AC for this year's sweltering heat. Fall was beautiful, it got cooler, although, trees & flowers began "falling". And then Winter came. I always say I prefer Winter over Summer, because at least when it's cold, you can always warm yourself up with clothing & be exceptionally comfortable. But, when it comes to heat, it's hard to keep yourself cool. It really is. Especially at night, when you're sleeping & it's HOTTT. Needless to say, I'm enjoying the cold weather for as long as I can, because once it starts hitting 80 degrees, LORDDD…
Gerald finally experienced The World of DISNEY. And of course, he had his mind blown. We celebrated his birthday there as well as our 2 Year Anniversary. We stayed for 5 days. But, I'm sure everyone can agree that even 5 days isn't enough to fully experience all of what Disney & Universal Studios has to offer. It was fun though & we can't wait to go back. Hopefully during Christmas this year.
Speaking of Christmas. Thanksgiving as well. They were both amazing holidays to have been spent here in New York. It went by hella fast though, but it felt great being here, spending Christmas in the cold & actually seeing snow. Also, New Years was pretty awesome. Thanks to Robert we were able to celebrate ringing 2014 in right in Times Square & that was such an awesome experience, cold experience, but an awesome one.
Along with eating at new restaurants, discovering new places, & making new friends, I've also been dancing at Broadway Dance Center & enjoying every class that I've been taking & have found that my brain & body is finally fusing with each other. I've gone on many auditions & have gotten very good results from it. I haven't booked a gig yet, but we'll see what 2014 has in store.
To New York, Thank you for a year of awesomeness & Love. May the next year be even more bomb & filled with awesome awesome awesome memories that will last a lifetime & beyond.

My Reason
So, the reason I wanted to start this blogging thing (again) was…
1. When I read the first & only blog from 2008, I thought, wow, I forgot that even happened.
2. It's good way to keep track of important things on my mind, other than using FB & Twitter, at least here, I can write down all my thoughts, or at least the important ones.
3. It'll be a good start to creating what I hope to one day become a book. It's a long-term goal, but a goal none-the-less.
I hated writing in school with a passion. Only because I had to & when I have to do something that involves my brain to think hard, I don't like it at all. But, when writing involves me to just be able to write whatever I want, I can sometimes write pretty good stuff. And what better place to do so, then here.
I mean, don't expect Shakespearean writing or like I dunno Hemmingway stuff. But hopefully it'll be something worth reading & that whatever I write, either makes some kind of impression on you that either makes you smile or learn something new.
That is all…
For now…

2014
HELLO 2014!!!
Well, it's been quite awhile since I've came here & clearly no one cared because I don't even think I have anyone following me here. So no one even knows that this blog even exists.
BUTTT, my hope for this year is to try and post more things on here as I feel that this is a good way of keeping a diary/journal/memoirs??? And anyway, it'll be a good place to post my thoughts/concerns/ideas/goals for the 2014 year. Since I want to be able to book a show or a dance gig. Write about my past relationships in hopes of it being a guide or something & then hopefully turn that into my Adele Musical that I would like to write (hahaha).
So to those who I am hopeful will follow this blog. WHAT'S UP!!! And for those who aren't, well, okayyy.

Monday was aight at work...Just went to Waipio Clinic to work with Emerson...Came back to DC and just did some minor things before leaving work...
Met Ainoa at 24 Pearl Kai and worked out for a bit and then went to Subway to eat some lunch after...It was first time back to the gym in about a week or so...YAY...I had a ham & turkey 6" sub which was ono...Learned that Shasta has a leprechaun friend who I name Samuel...
After that went to Kapolei to meet Brooks to go watch Twilight...While I was waiting for him in the parking lot, I shaved a bit and cleaned up the brow a bit too...
TWILIGHT is such a good movie...Not what I expected, but now I wanna read the book...
Got home around 8, took a shower, cleaned up the room, which felt like old times back at Helelua...Well, at least it looks clean now without all Ainoa's clothes all around...
After that, went online, talked to Charles, Hannah, Ian, Greg, etc. Charles and I had a good short conversation...So did Hannah and I...Texted Matt back and forth for awhile...Jason called and we talked a bit, found out his great grams passed away last week Friday and that Aly's son's funeral is this Saturday...Oh I took Tracie lunch, which was left over sushi from Waipio...Talked to Jon-Jon and planned a DVD sleep over night Friday after my show and after dinner at Shokudo's...
Talked with Mom and little bit about the drama of the exbf5...Then went moemoe...
