Week 2
May.27.2013
I have officially began the best summer of my life.
I really don't know if it's truly going to be, but I can only set my hopes so high.
Please excuse my absents, the concluding week of my junior year was insane, hectic, dare I even say chaotic! I had copious amounts of homework, tests & finals- so much that I thought i'd might actually flunk my school year. The teachers just kept it right on coming weather we were ready or not.
Kicking off summer the right way my first order of business was to take a much needed cat nap with Peter, to say the least I was passed out on his living room sofa with my mouth opened wide and I ended up skipping snack fest & I NEVER skip out on snack fest!
The succeeding days to follow consisted of a lot of gas money, eating & experiencing new things. Day two summer started at six in the morning, took my daily outside shower, got dressed & headed out the door all the way to town. My first stop was UH to do some volunteering at the Special Olympics. I got hooked up with this sweet gig by my friend Rachel, she's representing the East side of O'ahu's Miss America's Outstanding Teen (I know, my friends are amazing) We ended up having a blast interacting with the participants, exchanging autographs with some of the football players & people with special needs, played some soccer & even got to say hello to some furry friends all while serving up free shave ice to anyone spectators passing by.
After volunteering we made our way over to the districts high school to watch one of Rachel's good friend's & main director of a large dance academy in his annual dance concert for Hype5-0. The show was spectacular! People of all ages were shaking what their momma gave um' & it was overall a great experience.
As soon as the concert was over we rushed out to head back all the way to North Shore so my parents could meet Peter's parents for the first time after a year & a half, YIKES! The steak dinner went swell & everyone was so filled to the brim, towards the end of the night Pete & I met up with some friends for a full moon bonfire down at the beach. We went for a jump off the Waimea rock & were entertained by some random military men & their beer & good spirits. They walked across the burning coals & told their stories with such enthusiasm. To say the least my day was engaging from start to finish.
Yesterday I got to spend some quality time with an old friend before she moves away across the Pacific & continental U.S to Maryland. We shopped & ate & laughed. I helped her lighten her load by bringing home- two garden gnomes (which sat comfortably in the front seat) a dessert rose, a bed of lavender that's budding, a wooden bear, her beta fish & some other miscellaneous nic-nacs that were weighing them down. We also went thrifting & i discovered some treasures. A red flannel, a cardigan & a nice summer tank top.
Today is Memorial Day & I intend to spend it with my family( mostly my mom & her friends) down at the beach on this gorgeous sunny day.
Until next time,
-Bye.
