What a Day!!

What a day!!!! When I woke up this morning, I had decided that I was going to stay home and not do anything but concentrate on getting better. But no, I really wanted to watch the Niners game today that was at 10:30am...so I got myself up and got ready and left to go to my sisters place. Right before I left I decided to text my sister that I was on the way over and she texted me back asking if I was going to go to the Modern to hang out...and thats when it hit me!

I HAD FORGOTTEN!

Passion Roots has planned a hang out day at the Modern Hotel...and we are to go there to hang out. But here is the thing. I don't do people. *laughs* So I was not planning to go...plus I still felt not completely well...and I didn't want to spread my germs. *laughs* [oh my, you thought I was serious when I said that! *laughs*]

Anyways I came and played with DollGirl again who wanted to go to my car and play inside of it. I don't understand why she likes my sitting in my car and just singing, talking, pushing random buttons, and just talk. I love it. She cracks me up and it's our time together. Whenever I come over she likes to go to my car with me and just hang out...yep, just hang out.

Well, when DollGirl and I walked out to my car, my dad decided to fix my windshield wipers because they have been squeaking...well, I can't say squeaking...it was more of a mother pterodactyl screech protecting her babies. It was a loud, horrible, screeching sound whenever I would turn on my wipers. When my dad took out the wipers from the case, he realized that there was only one so since it was time for DollGirl's nap, we put her down and went to the auto shop to get another wiper. 

It was hot. There was no wind. It was ridiculously humid. And my daddy and brother helped me out there in the sun trying to figure out the screeching. Because I had assumed that it was my wipers that was making the sounds...but when my dad put the new wipers in, after buying the 2nd one, the sound sounded even louder and obnoxious. So we pour oil on it...used nearly a whole can of WD-40...still it was not working! My dad even said that there was nothing that I could even do to have prevented it...and that it would continue doing that. At first I was getting upset because I had come over to town so that I can watch the game...this car thing was taking FOREVER! But then I realized that I could use this time to spend time with my dad. So I went back into the house drank a nice big cup of water and got some for my dad...and yes, checked the game. :) We were doing good. :) We ended up giving up on the car because we couldn't do anything about it...so my dad said to let it soak in and maybe by the time I go home, it would be all good. :)

Then I went in (with a huge headache), and watched the rest of the game with...

...my lil DolGirl! Look at her check smile! And look at the score! Yep! We did good. :) I have to admit though during the last quarter I could really really tell the Cowboys were trying...but check this out!

We won! By more than 10 points! Yay! Afterwards, I really wanted to just take a nap because my head was pounding and I still was feeling unwell, but then my friend Evelyn asked me if I was going to go to the Modern to meet up with everyone. At first, I told her that i wasn't to sure about going...but then my sister called and told me that she would like it very much if I came. 

I'm not the best when it comes to being around a lot of people...and then this was a luxury hotel and I knew that there was going to be A LOT of people there! My sister told me that they had reserved cabanas near the pool for just us...and its as only Shilhi, Karine, and her that were there, but Ivy just got there and was going to be there for an hour...and the rest of the team wouldn't be able to make it since it was a last minute thing...and so I was like, fine, what harm can it do if I go?

So, I called Evelyn that I changed my mind again and decided to go. We got K.Neal to bring us to drop us off since parking is a bitch there...and Evelyn's husband, Nick, picked us up a few hours later. And let me tell you! I was so happy then I went. 

There were a lot of people there, but Ivy was still there when I came...and that girl is like a piece of sunshine...one of the sweetest, most genuine girl's I know! And no one really bothered us. There was a lanai party going on upstairs...something for Ms. Hawaii 2014...and a bikini contest of something...that was entertaining to watch! *laugh* And it also helped that I did have a spiked espresso iced-coffee...and that was SUPER yummy and got me out of my shell for a bit. *laughs* I don't normally like using pools, because I'm more of an ocean kind of girl...but the water was nice...and its a really nice all around relaxing few hours that I was so appreciative that I had. 

It was funny though because it was more of a chilling like kind of pool...and there was this one guy who was trying to swim laps...and splashing everyone! And yes we were looking at him like was crazy! I mean, I guess you can swim laps if you wanted...but it was more of a "lets chill" kind of pool...and here is this guy who was trying...and mind you I really mean it when I say TRYING, to do the butterfly...it was quite funny. :) But get this...I have NEVER encountered this before...but there was MUSIC in the pool! Yes, IN the pool...there was music from the party that was going on. But when you are submerged in the pool there was soft, light music that was playing! That was really cool! :)

Like I said in the beginning, what a day! :) It was one of those days that I was glad that I didn't decide to just vege out at home doing nothing...because I had an amazing day. Oh yeah, and at the end of the day when I drove home, I tried my windshield wipers and guess what?! They didn't work at all! And so, I was like wtf?! So, I called my daddy and he came and out and looked at it...fixed something...and now I can't wait until it rains...because they work QUIETLY now. Yep, you can't hear them anymore. :) Pretty cool, yeah?! 

It's the little things in life that makes you smile...the little random, thoughtful things that people do with no expectation that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy when you find out...the little things. 

What a day!

What a day it was! I didn't get to play football...I ended watching DollGirl...she was a bit fussy...but it's okay...because I love spending time with her. The day was amazing beautiful though! The field was pretty muddy though because of the rain that we have been  getting. It was funny though because Amanda and I went and we were walking towards the field but when we stepped on the field we were like...whoops EWWW! And we froze! I was carrying DollGirl...and she was looking at me like why aren't you moving?! Uhm, coz my foot when squish...and I was grossed out. I absolutely hate when my feet get dirty. Like super hate it! But I was like, I'm going to do this...I may be girlie like that...but I can suck it up....and get dirty to!  :)

I ended throwing the football with my brothers while waiting for everyone to come and play. And I did get pretty muddy. It was not fun...but it was. I loved just playing catch with my brothers...I remember playing with my daddy...and I miss him a lot. Anyways, the boys came and they split into teams and I played with DollGirl.

When we got back to my sisters house, DollGirl went down for a nap and so did I. I still am not fully recovered from my near death illness...and so I took an hour nap before the Super Bowl...but you know what?! I should have just stayed sleep. The game...wow. Only one team came...so congrats to them...they wanted to win, so they did...I'm not sure where the Denver Broncos went...wherever it was...it sure wasn't to the game! I have say that the half time show with Bruno Mars and Red Hot Chili Peppers was pretty sick though. I loved it. The best part of the show...*laughs* well, and the muchies was pretty addicting to as well...*laughs*

We didn't even make it to the end of the game...we changed it...we watched something else...something about Alaska documentary...*laughs* yes, we were that bored! *laughs* Amanda and Jeremy went out and got us Taste Tea...and I got my "usual" Taiwan Melon Tea with Lemonade with only 70% sugar...with BIG boba...none of those tiny boba...those make me unexpectedly choke...it was a yummy treat.

After we bummed around a bit, we walked around Waikiki and just enjoyed the sunset at the beach...I think I will always be grateful that I live on this beautiful island in the middle of the ocean...so blessed to have made it out here.

Lazy Day.

 Before I forget and the day is done let me take this moment to say:

RABBIT, RABBIT!!! :)

I ended up going to my sister's place this weekend...and wow! My DollGirl has grown! I feel like I haven't seen her in such forever! I rarely ever go a few days without seeing her...but these past few days has been so mad busy with both jobs and I really need to crack down more on studying if I want to graduate early. I have no complaints though...because I still have life in me...so I can do this.

But sometimes it just gets SO hard...and I think my body tells me to slow down by making me deathly ill. *laughs* So maybe I might be exaggerating just a little...but not by much! This last Wednesday and Thursday it was everything and more in me to get up and just move. I had to constantly remind my self through out the day that I had to keep moving...my keiki helped me a lot...they are so loving and I love them. Today is the first day that I don't feel like death is trying to take over my body!

Early this morning my sister came to my house and told me to get ready, we are going to her house. Say what?! It was a little past 7 in the morning...and come on now, I just wanted to sleep in after a really exhausting physically week! But oh okay...I was going to go there anyways, but LATER in the afternoon...but since she said that she was going to go church in Aiea...I was going to veg out on her couch watching netflix of something.

Guessed what I finally watched?!

Do you know what moving that is?! Well, if you guessed The Croads then you are right...and you know what?! I really did like it...it was cute! It made me smile...and I have to admit that it made me teary eyed at some points...seriously though, I would give up using chapstick a whole week just to give my daddy a hug right now. I miss him so much...and so yes, that part made me teary-eyed. 

And before you got on saying what?! Really?! Chapstick...?! I swear that I have not met anyone that was as addicted to chapstick as I am! I seriously will go through anxiety attacks if I do not have one on my person at all times. That is no joke. When I leave the house...it is my chapstick that I would most likely take with me. No. Joke. 

But yes, I had a lazy day. And I enjoyed it. Tomorrow...football. I haven't played in YEARS! And the the Super Bowl...lets see how that goes!

Goodnight.

Oh my days.

Oh goodness! So I knew waking up that this day would be a LONG day....but I was ready to tackle this day! Because I'm just cool like that. :) So, I woke up at around 5:50am to the wonderful smell of Cinnamon rolls baking in the oven! My sister knew that Amanda and I were going to wake up early to go to her jogathon that was happening early this morning. Oh yeah, we all spend the night at my sister house...so we were all there. My brother, Amanda, and I. My brothers went to go bike riding and Amanda and I took off to her schools jogathon.

SOO dark still that you can't even see my shoes...couldn't turn the light on coz I didn't want to wake everyone else up!

Just a little past six and this isn't even when I woke up! AND on a Sunday too; I should be sleeping in! *laughs*

So, we got to Kaiser Highschool in Hawai'i Kai at around 7:10...and Amanda and I started our day. It was a lot of fun...! So Amanda's school had a jogathon which lasted around two hours. I ended up being a counter. Meaning to say that I was to count the laps the her class did. It. Was. Hot. But it was so worth it because it was fun watching and cheering the little kiddos on! I was doing the 2nd graders...and they did a really good job! I am so proud of them! I had to keep moving myself because my shoes kept sticking to the ground if I stayed still so long! It was that hot...it got hot fast too! But everyone had fun and it was good.

When I got home I was sooo tired and I was starting to get a headache. I think it was because I didn't have my first coffee a black coffee. I ended up getting a Java Chip Frap from Starbucks...and then also I really did try drinking lots of water in the hot sun, but I don't think that it was enough so I get dehydrated and so when I got back to my sisters house I drowned myself in water and took a nap because the big game.

The 49ers and Seahawk game started at 1:30pm, so I was able to wake up myself to watch the game. I am sad. I am a Niners fan...it's all good...better luck next year...right?! So, Neal and I were a little bit bummed about the game (and I know a lot of other people were too! Come one now..BAD CALLS! BAD SPORTSMANSHIP! Just bad, bad, bad!!) so we ended up going out to eat at California Pizza Kitchen in Ala Moana.

It was a definitely a better experience than we had the last time we went to CPK! But I had my BBQ Chicken Pizza...put me in a better mood. I like Pizza. *laughs*

I also tried their Peach Lemonade...and I think that it's safe to say that I have a new favorite drink! *laughs* It was so yummy...a little on the tart and sour side...but wow, it was SOOO yummy. AND unimited refills...that was amazing! :)

Well, after we ate, we walked around a bit and I saw that Bath and Body Works was having a sale! So of course, I adore this store so I couldn't help myself and bought myself some stuff! So, all this was suppose to value at $60...but I only spent $20! I am excited...I always use the little hand sanitizers ALL. THE. TIME! I have to, working with kids is like that. I may not be a germaphobe...but I do get paranoid about all the germs that linger around the preschool! Plus, I need to watch myself because I don't want to get sick and see my lil DollGirl sick and get her sick...so I like to use A LOT of those hand sanitizers. 

LOOK! They even threw in a free lotion to boot! Yay for Bath and Body Works! I use to go here all the time on the mainland...but here in Hawai'i it's soooo far and so now I only go every so often...so I try to stock on on things that I know that I use a lot.

But tomorrow we don't have school in honor if Martin Luther King, Jr....so I'm staying the night at my sisters and we will see what we will do tomorrow.
