new year

Aloha!

So, it's 2011! Wow, how does time pass by this quickly?? Anyways, back in December had a great trip back home--was able to fulfill all my homesickness and come back here with a better attitude. I will always miss my family...but I know it's only a phonecall or skype away..or if i really need it.. a 5 hour flight=)

Work. has been good, getting better still. I am much more comfortable around my coworkers which matters the most to me...learning peoples faces..clicking with certain coworkers. the other day though...had a family member dislike me cuz I was not from Hawaii--how annoying. it was difficult to deal with...but at the same time, I was over it and tried not to let it bug me. Some people will be stuck in their ways here..so bleh, my life goes on :P

Home. coming back here, i try not to let anything bother me anymore. my roommates are all cool--different personalities. i still like the neighborhood we live in--nice view, hikes and beaches soo close by, all the shops accessible. only thing that drives me crazy is traffic--dont wanna get into that!

Fitness. been trying to get into this lately. soo far its been going good, i guess! haha. been doing couple hikes....running with daisy around our marina..or around diamond head. nice change of scenery. gym is literally down the block..thinking about picking up some weight classes...but well see! im not skinny tho..by any means! Lol.

Fun. surprisingly been less on the drinking tip than I used to. I cant drink anymore as much as I used to. well I can..but Ill be so ridiculously hung over that I get traumatized. My better idea of fun lately has been the whole beach thing...getting into the water..exploring the island...trying to find hobbies that are fitting to me--and then getting so tired that I cant even go out to drink at night! haha. Like today, me Jamie and Amber drank a few at Bellows...and night swam/attempted body surfed (lol) in the beach..that was a first! Came home and knocked the fck out--there goes my Saturday night! Also, went tandem surfing with Mike las week and was able to stand up on a few baby waves which was fun too! Tomorrow is probowl, were not going..so were gonna go beach and snorkel..try out Stand up paddle boarding. Should be fun! If I like it I wanna get one...and I think Jamie wants a body board to play in the waves..lol. So been having a lot of fun....i still like to go out occasionally..just hate wasting my precious days off hungover in bed! & did i mention the bar tabs?!! haha.

Etc. had another resolution to save money. so i have this whole budgeting thing so i can pay off my debt and save money...haha, i hope it works! all in all, have a healthier attitude being out here. feel blessed. looking forward to visitors, ahem. learning things about myself and growing in ways i probably dont realize for myself at this moment!

i miss you guys! 143.
