The proposal

went to watch the proposal. movie was hillarious. sandra bullock is a hottie and ryan reynolds did good in this chick flick. He was terrible in x-men with that whole baraka look alike posing as DEADPOOL. living in a small town with nice views must be nice. not really gonna go over the movie cuz i've spoiled movies before. i would recommend you go watch it!

"can we take a picture with you guys"-cali girls

stuck at home again on a wednesday. woke up to watch bernie mac show, one tree hill, icarly, sister sister. trying not to get bored cuz dad usually has the van. but sitting at home is relaxing with the breeze flowing through, at the same time i don't feel productive. Luckily, Willi called me up to hit up the beach with Jon. went to the beach and the waves were alright, not too bad. Upon getting there 3 tourist white girls ask. "hey, do you guys have girlfriends?"
-"no, wassup?"
"oh cuz we don't wanna cause trouble, but could we take a picture with you guys."
-me and the boyz. "sure!"
haha i d k what caused them to ask us when there were a bunch of other local guyz there. but just thought it was funny.
paddled out and caught a few waves. good workout and lovely to just be in the water. Always grateful to know that after being in the desert for school and clinicals, I can always call this Island home and return to a refreshing beach where i can swim and bodyboard. I think i'm getting darker :-p.

double date sushi & a movie.

last night was a good night. went on a double date or maybe just a friendly night out with derrick, anvie, and anvie's friend Leslie. went to genki sushi. definitely not as good as kuru kuru. maybe comparable but I like the Don mix bowls at kuru kuru. spend 7 bucks and ur prettyy full. less money and pretty fulfilling. had a couple of good conversations.

after genkie we decided to watch a movie. was gonna hit up a bar. but peeps got work in the morning. sometimes i wish i could say that, but not here in hawaii. maybe if i was already a rad tech here, i'd be fine with it. I ended up choosing orphan. its a scary movie more of a thriller/suspense. not so horrific like how other people would assume it to be. It was a good movie with a twist to it. Not gonna elaborate because its gonna spoil it for those who want to watch it.

overall, the night ended early. its all good cuz I had a good time.
thought's on my mind
-returning to vegas (not wanting to)
-future education
-future plans

dave and busters.

saw a lot of familar faces. mostly girls. was good seeing every one and good to chill. Ian picked me up and ended up getting most of my drinks. *ahem. all of my drinks and he was fine with it. I tried to keep up with his pace of alcoholism but couldn't. i didnt eat much prior to the night. 2 large cups of heineken. 1/2 large cup of guiness. 1amf and 1patron on the rocks straight up. got messed up. ended up throwing up once in his car, twice at zippys (all the saimin went onto the grass) and then once at home. all in all it was a good night. he called me a champ.
lesson learned "its not always worth it to be the champ."

hawaii arrival

after 10 weeks of clinicals. finally back home to the islands. The plane ride was alright. woke up about 5 times just cuz i was uncomfortable. at least i slept for the most part. Got off the plane, picked up my bags, it was one of the first ones to come out :D. I think i know the secret***. the secret to checking in late. waiting at the terminal for 1hr tops. and then getting your baggage early. haha. anyway, that only works on mcarran international airport terminal 2, red eye flight with Hawaiian airlines.

Finally reached my destination. HOnolulu International airport (HNL). expected a blast of humidity and for it to be hot. no sir ree. it was nice with trade winds blowing at a good 15+mph. Family picked me up and as usual, the kiss from mom and the conversation with the sister and Dad. Dad always comes up to joke about something, never a dull moment, unless he's mad of course. He was wide awake with his lion kona coffee brewed fresh. Went straight to Golden coin (hawaii version of goldilocks). mommy bought pandesal, pancit bihon, pan de coco... all for breakfast. good fulfilling breakfast. Mom and sis went to church and i took a nap instead.

Afternoon came around. Went to the Youth for Christ sunday assembly meeting. It was good to see all the familar faces again. smiles on their faces knowing that I arrived in the morning. greeting each other and just having fun again. I gotta say, the youth has been growing and I'm very proud of them. Reminds me of when I had tasks to do. I spoke so Oswald about their growth and he said it always takes a nudge or a push to get them going. They still have a lot to learn. It strikes me sometimes because my choice for actions isn't always the best. @ 22, I'm still a growing young adult with a lot of life to experience. A 15 year-old gives a talk and it still hits you, relates to what you should and shouldn't do in life. I looked out the window as the nice island breeze flowed through the dry Ewa brush, i didnt notice any of the older ones in the room so i decided to step out. Instead of going to mass that day, I decided to hit up the beach with Edward. Ed had already gone to mass on saturday so he was excused. Myself, on the other hand, was just dying to get into the water after all the clinicals and getting blasted with triple digit heat. I was later slightly punished for not fulfilling my obligation.

Went to 7-11 to grab green tea and a couple of pork hash. I always think that our (hawaiian) 7-11's are luxurious compared to vegas ones. just because of the type of food they offer. luxurious maybe a bit too exaggerated but it sure is bomb. We got to my escape, my beach. white plains. it was flat and the sets weren't really showing up. ed had purchased a set of pod fins, nice stiff, good thrust for paddling out. mine on the other hand "orcas" were very flimsy. i was embarassed. as i got out, the sets started rolling in and the waves curled one by one. I thought it was gonna be a flat day and i just went out for the workout. a work out and a good wave session was what i got. then my toes started to cramp, first on the right foot, and then on the left. I realized that it was my punishment for not going to mass. while that happened, the waves started crashing down and i had to constantly duck dive to avoid getting pounded. ed got majority of the nice waves while i just stood out and waited for more. I finally decided to paddle in and told ed to catch a party wave with me. (party wave- more than one person catching a wave). we did and i think it was the best wave of the day. we could've literally held hands, while on the wave (NO HOMO). haha

after the beach, went to a baby shower, typical flipino style dishes. very delicious. knocked out right after. long 1st day, gonna be a longer summer month. but i'm grateful. i think its my longest blog w/out pics. looking forward to the upcoming days. gonna be good :D
