here's a quick rundown of what i did and bought in Honolulu, Oaho in the last day and a half:
09/26/05: woke up at 4:40am. arrived at 7am or so, ate breakfast w/ parents at the Hilton Hawaiian Village hotel (which is amazing), went to Waikele to go to the Hawaiian Plantation Village which was also amazing, it showed the diff. ethnicities that came to the islands and their living conditions, etc. afterwards we went to Genki Sushi for lunch, went outlet shopping across the way. i bought: a white Adidas purple stripe track jacket and 2 Adidas logo tshirts, a pair of black Vans and a logo tshirt, a button up cowboy-ish style white shirt with blue flowers from Levi's. after the shopping we drove back to the hotel and chilled. we arrived back, i bought 2 slippah necklace ornaments (my mom's one is pink and mine is black), to a very funky smelling room. my mom complained and we got a new room with a better view (of Waikiki beach) and while they moved i sat at the bar and had a rum and coke. more rum than coke. a soda later we went to the room again and we went downstairs to see the free Hula show. went upstairs and changed for dinner. we went to a japanese restuarant and had sushi, again. after dinner we went back to the room and changed and crashed.
09/27/05: at 7:30am i awoke and we all got ready for breakfast. after breakfast we went to the room and then went onto the Bishop Museum that was connected to the hotel. it showed the history of the Hawaiian people and had the original king's and queen's garments, jewelry and carriage. it was great! then we headed to Ala Moana Shopping Center, 4 levels high. for all you Atlanta, GA folks..imagine Phipps Plaza and Lenox Square meshed into one shopping center. i bought there: a Gap sweater and panties (there was a HUGE 50% off sale!) and Hello Kitty stuff. i am so psyched! then i ate a quick bite at Arby's and went back to the hotel. we left about 3pm to go to the airport and at 3:30pm i went to my gate. there was a long goodbye and i felt sad for leaving my parents. at 4:30pm we boarded and at 5:30pm i was home in Maui. i drove from the airport and got McDonald's. got home and chilled a bit. started laundry and washed dishes and cleaned out some of my bags. i'm a little tired but somewhat happy to be home!
a bientot!

dismantled.
[music]: supersonic- oasis
[mood]: excited and pensive
so in a day or so i am going to Honolulu to visit my parents. i am super, super excited but the real feeling i have right now is extreme fatigue. i've been up since 3am and its 8:45pm or so. i was gonna go to bed but i started redoing my ipod stuff and then i started launndry,etc. sometimes i feel like a housewife. at times an underappreciated one. anyhow...i haven't seen my parents since March of this year when we ventured to the ATL. so its a mini mini vacation for me. 2 days of off island adventure. hopefully the real vacation in January to WA state to visit my parents will do me more good. plus there is a chance that i may visit my friend, C in San Fran before i see my parents.
so the dismantling part is this: i would be so very tempted to move to the mainland after the visits. what do i do?
a bientot!

films.
[music]: FNT- Semisonic
this afternoon, i saw the movie 'God is Great and I Am Not' with the lovely Audrey Tautou. i liked this movie a lot. you should see it. its acomoc tale of a young lady who goes through various religious and spiritual escapades trying to find the meaning of life and trying to find love. be warned that it is a foreign film, French with subtitles.
so in the last few days i have acquired the following goodies: a Puma track jacket, Puma shoes, Adidas shoes, two Puma tees, an Element track jacket, an old Beatles tee, a Coca Cola tee, a few cool print tees, and a Hawaiian Punch tee. i am happy and tired.

jour numero trois.
[music]: in the waiting line- remy zero
Today I had a horrendous day at work. When I got there I learned that my coworker, who was supposed to work half my shift with me, walked out after an argument. I was livid and floored at the same time. Then the small panic attacks started. It subsided and I calmed down and got my stuff done. Luckily it was slow-ish and though busy every minute, I got everything done. I panicked because I was supposed to make three food platters for a customer for 6am tomorrow. The upside was that I closed down about an our early and afterwards did the platters. I got out of work 10 minutes early. So it all pretty much worked out in the end. Now at the end, driving home, I rocked out to some Blondie and felt very rock star-like. Now in a few, I will feast on sushi followed by some cherry garcia ice cream.
An aside to the anonymous commenter…your link didn’t go anywhere but thanks for the good comment!!
Also…I saw the movies: La Repetition and the Boys on 2nd Street Park. The second was better as it was a docu based on a group of kids growing up in Brooklyn. The first was a bit psychotic and strange for a lesbian flick. Who knows…are we all crazy??

day 2.
yesterday i work until 8:30pm and went to an empty, dark house with two kitties waiting on me. bleary eyed and yawning. i drank a smirnoff ice to get me tired beyond belief and then i drank two cups of water and tottered off to bed. not being able to bring myself to darken the entire house, i left the sink light on and the phone. i got a sweet but short phone call before sleep.
at 4am, i awoke for work. 5am led to 9am and i was home. by 9:30am i was asleep on the couch. at 12:30pm my friend Wendy called me and we talked for a bit. then i showered and drove to the Salvation Army, Post Office, Taco Bell, Long's Drugs, Safeway, Borders Express, Blockbuster Video, then to the closed Library, Foodland and Beach Road Records. i got about 7 book, 3 cd's (Natalie Merchant "Tigerlily", Garden State soundtrack, and Lilith Fair), food, a bit of groceries, two videos, stamps and cd case tags. i called my parents, did some cleaning, got a sweeter phone call, washed clothes and cleaned my room. now i am downloading the aforementioned cd's into the ipod. I can't wait until Friday!!

maybe.

where to start....
at work tonight there were a lot of things that aggrivated me, but namely so is the pure STUPIDITY that buzzes around. how did we as a nation have so many stupid idiots around? and the most atrocious fact is that most of these stupid people are the ones who are controlling the USA and have money. i don't get it, not to toot my own horn but speaking as someone who went to college and has traveled around the world a bit, that more people haven't bumped more into things and fallen down. work was a painful reminder of how much of my life i'm wasting working here.
next week i shall be completely alone. this saddens me greatly and i do believe that i will be spending a lot daylight hours in the library or the such. i'll prob hang out with my friends when i am otherwise crying. it'll be hard. i do have an alone issue but such is life.
a bientot!
