Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone around the world can enjoy this day.

World Peace for Christmas!

Black Friday

I realized that it's just a self-control issue regarding the word "Sale."

Wedding Song

Think it would make a good one.

PV spotlight - October

Been listening to a bunch of Rip Slyme lately and I've found that they are great for those days off where you just lounge around the house and bust out a few chores. Chill, is the丁度いい adjective to describe it for sleep would just make for a wasted day.

Just d/l-ed a bunch of their songs, put it on the touch and now out for a ride on the Bridgestone. However, before I head out I'd like to leave you with a good one from the playlist.

Enjoy!

10/10/10

Not for another century.

Helped out with the Hawaii Fishing and Seafood festival today. Had a great time and look forward to participating in the years to come. For more explanation of this event, please redirect here.

Yes! today is 10/10/10 and because of that I shall post a video that pairs up quite well imo.

Wait for it...2:30.

Evolution

"It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most adaptive to change."
-Charles Darwin

btw, just expect corny one liners from now on.


Unless...
A. I purchase a new camera
B. I purchase a new car
C. Something really crazy happens...so crazy that it is absolutely posterous.

Did I just break my own rules? Already? Eh, whatever...I guess I'll ramble on for just a bit and give you folks a small update(and a reminder for myself).

I was supposed to grab coffee with a student from Japan today. However, I received the cancellation notice with no means to reschedule. Of course, I am no stranger to this type of rejection and in turn, I had a slight feeling that this was gonna happen. I could have easily let this get me down but, I am vowing to keep an optimistic attitude. Nothing changes from here for any change in attitude would lead to perception of immaturity(At my age, that is the last thing I need =P). Anyhow, the girl is sweet, smart and has a great heart(no rhyme intended)however, a bit young and possibly naive. K. west once said "People that you meet are like the seasons, and everything that happens is for a reason." and while I'm still trying to find reasoning for the continuous rejection that occurs, I can learn something new each time it happens.

In other (non-depressing) news...
I started to really support the Star Advertiser these days. I try to pick up a paper at the local market every morning before heading to school. Although I still happen to read the news on-line, I do enjoy the paper for the crossword puzzles and horoscopes.

I'm sure things will get sorted out and I'll keep this positive attitude for as long as I can.

Until the next....

mata ne.

One sentence update

All work and no play, makes Fersh a good boy.

Ill be back / 戻ってくる

Currently saving for a camera. A Canon 7D to be more specific and them things ain't cheap.

As a quick update,
I will let you folks know that I got dismissed of my DUI case and picked up 2 Bridgestone bicycles. I hardly go drinking anymore (because of the usual cases of bad luck that follow) and I have started surfing again (every Saturday at canoes with the pops). I know its been a while and I apologize for that but, I assure you that whenever I do happen to purchase my camera...it's on.

ok...heres the deal.

Blogger seriously sucks for photos.
I can't write descriptions about the photos because blogger will not allow me to reposition the photos.

That would mean my layout would look something like this...

..and I don't like that.

It may be a small glitch and I hope it gets fixed otherwise, I'm out.
I'll check back tomorrow and throughout the week.

Cross your fingers >.<

I hope...

Irony

In my last post, I discussed my plan to pull an all nighter, in order to finish up my homework for my 9:15 a.m. class.

Well, I did, and at 8 a.m. I happened to receive a e-mail from my professor informing me that class was going to be cancelled.

Excellent.

Another all-nighter

I feel like I'm gonna get a lot done during this all-nighter.

Gonna head out for some RedBulls to keep the mind alert. It sure proved itself worthy in the last F1 race at Sepang. 'Grats out to Sebastien Vettel and the RB team in winning the Malaysia GP. Anyway, I gotta finish up this psychology homework before class starts at 9:15 a.m. and I also decided to finish "The first 24" blog by tomorrow as well. Got a long day ahead of me but I am determined to stay focused throughout the night. A vicious combination of RedBull, Silver Haze, and the Thievery Corperation station on Pandora, should be quite a good mixture to keep me going.

I'll let you know how things went down, tomorrow.

Til’ then. がんばれます!

I've learned...

...that it's easier to keep up than to catch up.

I have several updates that I will post within the next couple of days.
Thank you for your patience.

Hawaii Tsunami

Slept-in through the whole thing.
Didn't panic since I was already on higher ground.

I thought this was a great exercise in disaster preparedness nonetheless. Many of the people took the warning seriously and evacuated if they were in areas of possible threat. In typical Hawaii fashion, beer was amongst the necessities included in the survival kits of many.

I'm glad everyone is safe.

made ya look.

Passed out due to whole foods pizza and some crap ass cabernet sauvignon.
No coverage of FF however, I do have a review of a very good "hole in the wall" restaurant.

I also slept for over 8 hours for the first time in a month, and it was worth missing all appointments that I had previously made.

Till the next spontaneous entry.

This upcoming Friday...

...will be the Chinese New Year Edition of Downtown Honolulu's monthly First Friday block party.

As you may have read in my previous posting, I got my camera jacked at my birthday Barbecue (まじでかこ悪い, I know). Of course, I feel that this upcoming event should not be participated in without proper photo documentation. Therefore, I have decided to equip Scavenger Pro and picked up (not stolen FYI) a temporary Samsung brand point and shoot camera. Being that I have used this camera before, I am quite familiar with it. The lens happens to be amazingly sharp for Samsung grade glass and it is a 10MP (which is way more than I need). I will also bring out another camera which I found while cleaning my room, a 35mm Minolta X-700 MPS with a manual 50mm lens.

I will post the results when the prints come back from processing.
Till the next...

The first day of my new life.

Welcome 2010. It's an honor to finally meet.

The biggest turn of events happened to me at the mark of the new decade. Not more than 5 hours into my new year I lost my car, as well as my license and worst of all, I lost my camera(@Birthday Party). This definitely turned my World upside down and really grounded the arrogant prick I used to be. They say things happen for a reason, and this "turn of events" per se, definitely happened for a good reason. I needed to grow up.

I initially envisioned my 2010 to be a laid back year. For one, it will be the year that I finish up at Kapiolani Community College, and move on to the "bigs" at the UH Manoa campus and second, the Chinese astrology books my father purchased for me and my sister read that, the "Tiger" years are the best for us "Pigs".

Nonetheless, shit happens and when shit happens, you gotta make that shit turn into gold.

My New Years Day was not spent celebrating but, instead clearing out my wrecked car and analyzing my actions. I felt stupid, and I still feel stupid but I know that accepting stupidity is the stupidest thing to do. Despite the ridicule I may recieve, I know that I must now catch The Bus to both school and work. Of course, I've never really had a problem with public transportation but, it can't beat the excitement of driving.

Today was the first day of my new life...
My father had an expected reaction, not a single word spoken to me the entire day. As I was about to depart, I told him "bye dad!" with enthusiasm, an uninterested moan and a lazy wave was his only reaction. I then ran into my mother who had just arrived home from her half day at work. She insisted on driving me down to Pearl Ridge mall where I could then take the #20 bus to "straightshot" it into Waikiki. I refused and let her know that I need to suffer for what I've done. I started my journey.

The bus ride opened my eyes.
Not just through various colors and sights but deeper.
I understand a bit about myself and I am trying constantly trying to find out more. I understand that I gotta do what I gotta do. It's when you have nothing when you start to appreciate the small things and when you appreciate the small things you appreciate life. I am becoming older thus, i must also simultaneously become wiser as well. I can't be living the "invincible" life I've been so used to living. I know that I must change as a person and accept faith as it comes but, also use good judgement to determine my faith. That is how you read the future.

So, like every girl I've ever loved...
We both go our separate ways, and in this case, we will never see each other again. My only memory is the black weighted shift knob I used in order to connect with her.

You're always in my heart...

I almost forgot to add(actually I did, and it's terrible that I did)...My friend was in my car and it was stupid for me to be driving 5 mph over the speed limit cause I almost killed him. It was that 5 mph that could have prevented that crash. I highly respect him for backing me up to the police officer after the crash and I greatly appreciate him bailing me out of jail. Sorry for everything.

So what would you do?
If life handed you my current situation?
I already know my plan.
I hope this works out.

In high spirits! Let's do this!

Happy New Year! / 明けましておめでとうございます

I hope the new year will be prosperous for all of you.
