This is me... :)

my 3rd annual 21st bday.

this year i opted to do karaoke for my birthday because im an obessed karaoke-er. lol. wasn't able to have the party on my actual bday because it was a sunday so we had it the following thursday. i had a blast. i got drunk but not drunk drunk where i acted up a fool. im too old to get "fucked up" on my bday. =p i got drunk just enough. matt kept me in control...he would be like, "babe, have some soda and here eat this sandwich" and i would sneak some sips of my bottle of wine that i got as a gift when he wasn't looking. i had fun and although matt wasnt able to pull off a surprise it was still awesome that he organized it. i love him so much. enjoy the pictures.

kokua festival '08

i am a huge, gigantic, immense, humungous, vast, enormous fan of jack johnson. were those too many adjectives? lol. anyways, every year for five years he's had a fundrasing concert for his foundation. we got smart this year and were ready to buy our tickets. its pretty damn hard to get them. in no less then 15 minutes, all the tickets were sold out. its pretty much like that every year.

the concert came and we were all pretty excited but when we got there we noticed that there were hardly any local people there. a lot of tourist and hardly any locals. that really pissed me off. not for the kokua foundation but in general. i felt like an outside on my own island. it was pretty surreal. until you come to hawaii you'll never know how much "aloha" there is here. ive been to the mainland several times, spent summers etc. you can see a definite difference in the way you're treated. i mean seriously no offense to mainland people because i always enjoy my time over there but majority of the people there are just plain rude. and that is exactly what the atmosphere of the concert was. i am a person who doesn't like confrontation but i was got to my breaking point and had to speak my mind to some people. they were just disrespecting our things by walking all over our blankets (let me just let you know that we were sitting on a lawn) and kicking our things aside so that they can stand there. i mean seriously, everyone is on the lawn and what are two feet more closer that you were when you are so far back. it makes no difference. i asked them nicely a couple times but they kept on doing it. so i ended up yelling at them. i was ready to kick some ass. one of the stupid girls had the nerve to walk past our blankets and say, "i'll walk all over your shit if i want to" ho, i pulled out my pepper-spray and was ready to use it. but i stopped myself because then what kind of person would i be? anyways, when jack came on everything was out the door. there were a couple more incidents with these disrespecting people that had to do with them dropping their beers on this old couple a couple of times. argh. it still gets me angry but really its not worth it.

hopefully next year they were have saved a certain amount of tickets for kaimaina (local people) and then when those are sold out have them available for tourists. literally when jack gave a shoutout to the people listening from outside of the waikiki shell, you could tell there were shit loads of people. and when the concert was over when we got outside, sure enough there is where the locals stayed.

i took pictures and videos (go figure). so enjoy!

april was a crazy month for me not just because it was my birthday but me & matt weren't in 'grandma & grandpa' mode. i've just started this blog and i'm pretty sure...nay positive that no one reads it yet. but hopefully i'll be more interesting and less lazy to post stuff. i believe that i have a very interesting life and it should be documented. lol. i finally found some time to do this only because i cant sleep, i should be sleeping but i cant. the story of my life. the only times that i can sleep the best are times when i can't be sleeping. i think thats the story of everyones life. =)

me & my boyfriend FINALLY saw ironman and it was awesomely awesome. ive never heard of ironman before my boyfriend or the movie so my expectations were non-existent.

summer is finally here and the weather is so not beautiful. it's filled with vog and makes the island all yucky and makes me allergies go crazy. so because i haven't posted in a while i have tons and tons of pictures to "show-and-tell". im a person who likes to have memories of events that go on in life. it can be as simple as us going to starbucks or driving in the car. i take pictures of everything i could take pictures of. i think i can fill two big photo albums full of my dogs. lol. im crazy obsessed like that. so enjoy looking at the pictures. i always like to look at people's blog and their pictures. its just fascinating to see someone else's perspective.

us at dnbs before sheri left to go back to school.

him & me. i sometimes dont like to smile. i like to mix my expressions up.
