i know i haven't written in here in a while, but i just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year! everyone seems to be posting these soul searching 2005 reviews and i'm in awe of how awesome you guys are (how's that for redundant?). even though i haven't posted in such a loong time, i always read up on you guys. i just haven't had the time to put ( Read more... )

keahi was singing along to "buffalo soldier" in the car this morning and i busted out laughing when i noticed how he's been singing his version.

buffalo soldier, dreadlock lobstah...

i couldn't stop laughing to try to listen to how he sang the rest of the song. that made my day.

today i got to put my miniscule nursing skills in action. keahi slipped as he ran into the tile foyer with wet sneakers to get his umbrella and sliced his forehead on the corner of one of the bannisters. even i felt faint when i saw all the blood. his grandma and daddy kept pressure on it as i quickly gathered the supplies to clean him up. then ( Read more... )

Just like that one mom said last year, it's downhill after the five year mark. I'm talking about birthdays. Keahi's 6th birthday is coming up and there's no way we can top, or even match the last five shindigs. With school (okay, we're not really THAT busy with school, although we SHOULD be. we're just lazy) and other stuff(snowboarding and ( Read more... )

my hair is probably the only thing about my body that i have control of, so i always take pride in it. well, most of the time. i've had it short and stylish for most of the last four years or so and now it's growing out. not really because i want it to, but because i told myself i won't cut it off until i get to a certain weight. it's torture ( Read more... )

I'm not even done with my BSN and I'm already mulling over the thought of switching careers. I love, love, love diggin in the dirt, dreaming up different combos of flora and hardscape and admiring the fruits of my work. Most of the free time i have I spend fixing up the front and the backyard, weather permitting. Am I going in the wrong direction ( Read more... )

i give you this...

print it and post it on your fridge or something. hope it helps!

keahi has been growing by leaps and bounds, not only physically but mentally as well. his moments of wisdom still never fail to catch us off guard and amuse us. he's been coming up with so many quotables i should've kept track of them here. there is one that sticks out in my memory though ( Read more... )

Two shows that have been giving me ab workouts from laughter the last couple of months: VENTURE BROTHERS and MXC

Venture Brothers you just have to watch. The characters are so endearing despite their neuroticisms and their relationships seem too complex for mere(?) cartoon characters. And the dialogue! Every line out of each character's mouth is ( Read more... )

i know it's a week late, but we've barely recuperated from last week. fh made the invitations, woke up at the asscrack of dawn to save spots at the park and barbecued, while i made the coin block pinata, the star shaped gift boxes, the toad shaped cake and a shitload of food. but even with little to no sleep and all the hardwork, we all still ( Read more... )
