ugh, i suck
Yup, I suck...at updating LJ. So much for my New Years Reso of being better about it.
So I passed out last night around 7-8pm and just woke up an hour ago (1:30am). I have a busy Jr. YBA weekend starting in a few hours so I guess I'll be staying up from now. In fact I'm going to be leaving soon to go to school to print out some stuff and pick up my fan.
In another thought, I hope our friend Jessica is doing ok on the east coast...I see that Tropical Storm Hanna is moving up through her area.
This past weekend was our cousin Greg Hamai's wedding. It was on Maui so many of our extended relatives flew over and stayed in condos in the Kaanapali area. The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful! We stayed at the Mahana hotel/condo. It was quite beautiful and the condo amenities were great. On Saturday morning John and I went snorkeling at Honolua Bay (north of Kapalua). It was so awesome!! Only thing is we didn't have any flippers so it got a little tiring after a couple hours. It was clear 30-40 feet and there were many fish. But we didn't see anything out of the ordinary this time, e.g. turtles, eels, etc. It's cool...we'll just have to go again. I'm still scared of deep water, and drowning, and all that good stuff, but somehow seeing how beautiful it is underwater, and seeing all the marine life calms my nerves down and I'm able to enjoy myself for the most part. The consequence of all this snorkeling fun was massive sunburn for both me and John. It was quite uncomfortable for the rest of our Maui stay...especially sleeping. Thank goodness AUnty Ruby had aloe! Now I am peeling like a monster!
Poor John couldn't take off this past Sunday/Monday because of MDA telethon so he had to go back to Oahu a few hours before Greg's wedding on Sunday. (So he told people he was going to Maui for a wedding, but couldn't actually go to the wedding! haha!) Greg's wedding was totally outdoors at the Sheraton Kaanapali. It was very beautiful...and once the sun went down it was nice and cool. I had a beer and then took a shot of whiskey (or something) with the boys of the wedding. Alicia took the shot with me too...it burned all the way down! It was nice being with my family. We were quite rambunctious that night...tinkling our glasses all night, terrorizing the bride and groom. Go Tashiros!
I got to hang out with Alicia on the last day we were there...we had some great conversation time. I miss having Alicia around here...I can't wait until they move back to Oahu (crossing fingers!). My nearest best gf is in Florida so I miss having a female friend around to share stuff with. Thanks Alicia!!
I made my family eat at Sam Sato's as soon as we arrived last Friday. I don't know if they were as impressed with Dry Noodles as I was but oh well! I miss dry noodles! I miss going to Maui for engineering work...mostly cause of all the food we used to eat, all on the business tab! I even got to eat at Sam Satos again with Alicia on the last day! Love it!
As an example of how small Hawaii is...when we were at Sam Sato's last Friday I saw an old Jr. YBA friend from Maui, Elise Fujimoto, who is now a senior at SCU. I hadn't seen her since 2004 or so! Then last night (Friday) John and I went to eat at Asahi Grill on Ward Avenue and ran into Elise again!! Turns out her bf lives on Oahu so she was visiting him before going to back to SCU for the year. Small world!
Ugh, I better leave now...don't want to be at school when the sun comes up. Bye!
