SPICY AHI POKE. even though we almost had to battle some moke tittas in the parking lot, it was worth it. ONO SEAFOODS on kapahulu, you've given me one more thing from the aina to miss. next time i'm gonna ask for half spicy half shoyu... that'd be bomb.

no means no

i won't do it for any less than $1,000 more a month.

...

actually. make that $2,000.

i spent a lot of time with my computer. i think it's giving me a distorted sense of reality. i notice after long weekends, or days where i just spend too much time on the computer, i have difficulty socializing. putting together coherent sentences... comprehending what someone is trying to tell me. i know i do this to myself, but i still blame whoever it was that created this infinite cache of information that i am allowed to access with the movement of my fingertips... yes, that is you, worldwide web.but other than that... been thinking a lot lately. don't want to be all dramatic and say these are life altering decisions, but, you know if you think about it, aren't all our decisions life changing ones? i'm trying to make that connection between idealism and realism, what i can have and what i can't, what's feasible and what's just... really hopeful. it's a difficult connection to make when my life has basically always been about instant gratification. they say it's when you're young that you should make these mistakes... but... i don't know, man. it just seems like a cop out.

and if you've made the realization that my grammar has slowly, but surely, regressed... it's just one of the sacrifices i've made coming to the motherland.

somebody get me out of the motherland.

went out on halloween for the first time in 5 years. ...is it sad that i actually find getting free candy infinitely better in comparison? but all in all, good people, good fun. and i pilfered some free candy off the workplace, so iza'll g.

best of both worlds

but pales in comparison the aina. man, growing up on the islands will seriously screw up your views of all other countries.

don't drink with your boss.

while possibly the number one rule (after not engaging in "relations" with) about the workplace, it just doesn't apply in korea. exhibit A: my co worker taking a "love shot" with my main boss. so, just in case you were wondering. yes, i am still alive. and yes, everyone is still drinking. yup.

my new best friend

thought it'd be good to take up a hobby since making friends in the motherland is only going so well. meet canolita. we will be united in september... i wait upon the day with anticipation only a desperate woman could understand.
