Talking to Hoang...

It is lovely Labor Day weekend and I am sitting in my room on the computer while i SHOULD be outside playing! It's such a beautiful day! ...
Anyway, I am chatting with hoang and he's kinda teaching me the ropes of blogspot! I had no idea what i was doing prior to this post because glo kinda set it up for me......but now, it's beginning to make a little more sense! (Thanks hoang and glo for helping me get this "ish" started [compliments of Thu Doan]!!!!!!) lol...i'm so lame / computer illiterate.

I looked over my last blog post (is that what you call it? or is it just a "blog"???)...and I must admit that I was really emo then, huh? I think i'm a little better now...lol...i guess school has provided somewhat of a distraction, but I still miss you guys so much! I often think about the fun times that we had together, and i wonder what it was like at all of the group gatherings this summer (like beach volleyball). I'm sad I wasn't able to join you. :0(
Life's been busy, but fun... I'll go into more detail in a future post.
Anyway, I gotta get going ... UCLA is playing UH in women's volleyball tonight! A few of my friends and I will be going to the game to watch!!!!!!!! Of course, I will be cheering for the Mighty Bruins and thinking about you ALL while doing 8 claps!!!!!

Take care everyone!

Happy early birthday, Mr. HT!!!!!!!!!!

Alohas......... :0)

Back in Paradise!

I'm sitting at my messy desk at home typing my second blog ever! lol. It's hot and muggy. I'm sweating despite wearing nothing but boardshorts (we're about to head out for some surf!). Some 80's song is playing on the radio...

Anyway, my room is sooooo SOOOOOO cluttered and messy because i have yet to entirely unpack all my junk. I guess it kinda serves as a metaphor to my life at this point in time. My mind has been kinda "out there" and jumbled with all these different emotions! I left Los Angeles a week ago and miss it dearly, and life has not seemed normal since then. Perhaps it's because the city itself (LA) is so vibrant and lively that slowing down to the pace of life in Hawaii has to take some readjusting to... I can't believe I need to "reassimilate" back into my own home! Or maybe it's because there have been so many awesome people who i've met during my 4 year tenure at UCLA that I'm sad to be thousands of miles away from them... Or perhaps it's because UCLA treated me sooooo kindly and I had the time of my life that I'd never want to leave that place ever! Who would have guessed that someone would actually have withdrawals from being AT HOME?! it's crazy!!!!!!!
But like my room, my cluttered mind is slowly starting to clear. True, it's sad that one chapter in my life -- a SUPER DUPER chapter at UCLA -- has come to an end, but life goes on and does not wait for anyone. Hence, we must look forward (and i'm slowly opening up to this idea). It's not bad at all to remember where you've come from and the people you've met along the way, but sulking in the past does not accomplish anything. We ALL (any of you friends who are reading this) have great things in store for us for the future! We're doing what we need to do to become successful in life! So, raise up your glasses... Cheers! to the friendships, our graduation, and the bright future that life has in store for us! :0)

take care, all! God bless! 'til next time...

Gloria is not so cool....

so, this is my first blog. I have no idea what to write about on a blog, and so I'll keep this one short. Glo pretty much set this thing up for me (hence the name of my blog spot). hmmm...what else? blogging seemed kinda pointless to me before this. But i must agree with you all that this is an excellent way to keep in tune with each others' lives. :0)

Anyway, that's it for now. I'm really starting to get emo about leaving UCLA and all of the friends I've made up here (old and new). But we'll save that sad, sad topic for another day........

Aloha,
Me :0)
