Packing up birthday cakes

Week one back in cali: work sleep work sleep.

So far I logged in 23.8 hours of work for this week.
That translate into 202.3 dollars of income before tax withholding and Social Security.

Tomorrow is the first day of the new week, Sunday, and I gotta work from 3:30 to 8:30.
This up coming week I'm scheduled to work 34 hours. Four 5-hour days and two 7-hour days.
I get Monday off,(I need to pick up my camera resume the picture snapping business).


I'm still not sure will I get to take a week off to go to Salt Lake City.(Very unlikely, I'm sorry Collette, Matt)
But I heard I get paid double on Christmas. (Dang, we still gotta work?!)


To be honest, I'm really enjoying this winter weather here in Cali.
I know that everyone hates the cold here on the mainland, but I loved the fact I can dress up and feel warm and not sweat. Walking outside, the chill breeze on my face, the refreshing cold air. You never get that in Hawaii.(How ironic!)


Somehow I'm having a crazy sleep schedule now: Head to bed at 4:30am. Wake up at 12:00pm
Mostly it's cause by my evening work schedule. And I just hang on to the computer for too long.


I paid $439 bucks for a speeding ticket in Spetember that I had to go to court in Firebaugh, two hours south from home.
The judge was nice, he lowered the charges from Speeding 100+mph to speeding 70+mph. Still I had to pay $350 for that ticket, $25 for correcting the missed insurance card when I got pulled over, and $64 for the Traffic School Administration fee.
California traffic tickets is totally rape comparing with other states traffic law. Ugh. Blame it on the liberals. HA


Btw I'm debating should I fix my hair a bit after all this craziness?
Especially the bangs, which are getting a bit annoying, you think?

So this is it

A Hawaii grande finale.


With all the people that I love,

All the people that loved me here.



One of the greatest times in my life.

History replay

So after a year, I end up doing the same thing again.
Leaving hawaii, again.

Some will say:"what the heck?"

Oh yeah, thats what I thought.

But who knew what will happen?


Suck it up is more like the solution.


I leave on the 6th of december.


"Will I be coming back to hawaii?"
the Answer is : yes.

April, 2010 I think so, when everyone is graduating.
Yes.
(I'm going to miss out the graduation on the 18th of December.)

oh and by then I will be using my mileage for a free ticket.


enough for the hawaii part.



Hmm, lets talk about some christmas plans.
So my parents were planning going on a road trip to the grand canyon for christmas week.
here's the plan:

12/25 - stay in Las Vegas

12/26 - stay Grand Canyon

12/27-29 - stay in Las Vegas

12/30 - Home

As you see, we're spending most of the time of the 6 days driving.
Consider I'm not even 21 yet, so Las Vegas is basically crap for me.

My alternative plan is not to go with them, but to take my mom's scion Xd and drive to Salt Lake city to visit some friends for Christmas.

I love my family, but now at this stage, I just can't stand my parents, especially my dad.

Hopefully once I get back to cali, I get to start working immediately. So I will have some money to payback all the people that I owe and to fund this long driving trip to Utah.(Gas cost $80 for one way.)



Heck, anyways. I love my life.

But I'm going to miss all of you in hawaii, and the beautiful hawaii itself too.

The Deal

Sorry for the lack of update these days.
I just kinnda felt like I should sit down and think about the things that are happening and gather my thoughts.

-Life hasn’t been too eventful like all you expected.
(you might say that living in Hawaii itself is a eventful enough…)

Just a bunch of decisions to make for the up coming future.

-First thing to do is to get my money to buy my ticket back home to Cali.
Thank god there are those $164 tickets going around the place.



-I went to McDonalds to check my job application process, they told me it’s still in the works, check back on Tuesday.(They better give me an answer upon that time*&^%$#@$^%&^*)

Oh and I’m going to apply for a tour guide at Kualoa Ranch on Monday, which is tomorrow. Just the fact that the bus ride to work every morning will give me the most headaches if I ever get hired.

If I happen to get a job, then I’ll have the ability to stay here in Hawaii.

-With my status right now, which I’m not in school. I am able to really sit down and see what’s happening around the place and with people these days, without the stress/pressure from school work and stuff.

It’s quite interesting to be honest.

Life is a weird concept, just funny t osee how things workout during times.

I think God has a lot of humor, although a lot of times the concept of the jokes themselves are too big for us human beings to understand.

Eh. What can we do?

So rather than worrying too much about what will happen in the future, we should try to sit down and try to enjoy what we have upon our hands, the moment, and learn to love.


Hey! Thanksgiving is approaching!



Btw happy 21th birthday Katie!

dreams.
