Hawaii Dia 5

Family trip to the hospital anyone?

Yet another day that didn’t have anything planned. We had a couple different plans but because Mikey was too sick to go out, we ended up just going to see a couple of waterfalls and “Spouting Horn.” We also did a lot of shopping. I got a keychain for Katie, a necklace for Danika, something for Rooosie and something small for Tov. Still need to find something really good for you >.< I need to find something for Bailee and I thought about trying to find something for Xavi but I really don’t know what to get him. I did see some coconut bras and thought of him though XD

I actually remembered to buy myself something! Yays! I got a pretty blue necklace. Though, I’ll have to find a different cord for it because it is almost exactly the same length as my silver one which I won’t take off. I also got myself a set of bracelets (though I got those mostly for mom. She needed to get a certain amount spent to get a free item so I grabbed those. Still likes them) One store that we visited we got a shell Lei as soon as we walked in.  That is also the sarong I got myself the other day.

So the first waterfall we went to, I just started taking pictures when it started to POUR. Mom and Brandi went straight to the van when it started while Ryan, Jessi and I decided to continue on for a little thinking that like every other time its rained, it would let off in a few seconds. It didn’t. It just got worse. So we, once we had come to the conclusion it was just too wet, ran back to the van. We were dripping wet. Soaked. And guess what we had forgotten to grab. Oh yeah, the towels. So, we got 10 miles from the hotel and had to return home.

We got home and threw all our cloths in the dryer and made sure that we packed the towels and change of cloths in the car. It was a few minutes before we got to the house and I got that same pain in my stomach as the other day XP Tis a very sucky pain. But it kind of went away by the time the cloths had dried. So off we went to the next waterfall.

When we got there, I was opening the back of the van and Jessi walked right into the corner. 1/2 over and it would have hit her eye ;_; As soon as she had hit it, she started to cry. Then this guy came over and gave her this basket he had wove by hand from leaves. He keep telling her to stop crying and that he hoped his basket would make her happy again. He just didn’t seem able to deal with a cute girl crying… Then we told him what had happened and he felt even worse for her. Then he went off and another guy (a friend of his i think) came over and put a little bird made from the same kind of leaf to make her smile on the basket.

Mom went over to thank them for the gift because it was so sweet  of them. They were obviously very very poor and it was so nice of them to give Jessi those things that they could have sold. As mom was talking to them, she found out that the guy had this puppy that has some skin disease and he couldn’t afford the meds and that was why he was trying to sell these baskets that he made. He had the puppy there. The poor thing looked so sick and it had no fur… it was depressing. Ryan ended up buy a couple of baskets from them to help out.

After that, we went to the Spouting horn and looked around the shops there. Wasn’t too awesome. Sounded cool though. On the way home, we went into this amazing Orchid shop *.* So many beautiful flowers! They were growing everywhere. She even had some growing without any dirt, just  hanging there. And there was such a variety of colors and sizes! I also managed to finish filling a memory card today ^.^;

Hopefully tomorrow less people are in pain and no one injures themselves XD I’m kind of excited because tomorrow we are going to the luau which is supposed to be really intense. I should get some cool pictures I hope. That or video. Oh yeah, tomorrow is the luau, that means I has to wear a dress o.0 Should be interesting.

Alrighty, tis getting late here.

Niiight! Miss you.

Hawaii Dia 4

Me thinks I’m in love.

It is odd to realize that over the course of a day, you can forget details. Like on the day that we went up to the lighthouse I wore a very flowy skirt… No one mentioned that we were going to heading up there so I ended up wearing my new, very flowy skirt. It was very windy up there…. So everyone who looked at the right time, would have seem my skirt flip up –.-; It didn’t take me long to start walking with one hand holding the camera and the other holding my skirt to my legs. >.<

Oh! Right! And I’m not sure which day it was, but we went down to a beach and we were playing around in it and Brandi ended up getting her jeans soaked. So she decided to just get in the van and take them off. Despite Ryan saying that he she should have to put her jeans back on (he didn’t want no one else seeing her that way XD) She ran to the room without her pants on. The only thing that made this image better then her running up to our room (up three flights of stairs… outside) is the fact that she tried to cover her butt with a bottle of alcohol XD

There was something else that I had realized I had forgotten to mention but, I seem to have forgots again ^.^;… Look how big this flower is!! Isn’t that amazing. (yes, easily distracted by my pictures, shut up. Don’t judge me XP) Got this shot in the parking lot of the condos. Tomorrow I’m going down to get more pictures because there are still some down there I haven’t gotten a picture of.

Today was another one of those day that we didn’t have anything planned. So after a lazy slow start to the day, we went to have our normal breakfast, Eggberts. I can’t wait for tomorrow because I decided what I’m going to be having; pancakes… lolol yeah, when Ryan and Jessi ordered them, we all kind of snickered. It got worse when Ryan said something along the lines of “I’m going to be having myself some pancakes right here.” And as you can imagine, it went downhill faast. 

After delicious foods, we went around the Coconut Mall and wandered around (Ha! I is proud, I typed the right word Bara!!). The entire time I was thinking of what to gets everyone. I know what I’m gonna get you Bara besides the sand. I know what I am going to get Katie, it was rather easy. Tov… You are going to be the death of me. I can’t find ANYTHING for you. *sighs* And i need to find more than just a souvenir because your birthday is coming up. 

After we had finished going around the Coconut Mall, we went to this market thing. It was all kinds of the stuff we had seem at the Mall but for much cheaper. It wasn’t until the end of the day that i realized I should get myself something. Still haven’t… wait… I did get myself a pretty black and white sarong for $4. Ryan was sweet and got all us girls a really cool hair clip that changes color in the sun. It starts out white and when it is hit but UVs it changes color. Mine is blue, thanks to Brandi who was willing to take the other one instead.

After shopping, the rain chilled and we went on this boat up a river to the Fern Grotto. It was a nice trip up the river and the Fern Grotto was really good. I got a couple nice pictures but not as many as I would have liked. I did get a really awesome shot of a lizard… AND I got to see real Bamboo which was awesome. Very pretty.  I know it is a silly thing to be excited about but, i ish a freak so its all good. Anyway, the greens here are so vivid! There was a path up to the Grotto and everything along the path was so green it was amazing.

I has three bites on my leg. They itch soo badly. *twitch* i’m trying my best to not itch them but its hard! I haven’t seen a mosquito but if there is even 1 on the entire island, it would be my luck that it would find me. –.- I wish they weren’t so out for me.

Now we are sitting around playing this game that Ryan got. It is called the Chat Pack which is random questions that start interesting conversations. This last one was if you had a number instead of name, what would it be? “What is your dream house? Be descriptive” “If you could have 50 pounds of anything except money or something to sell, what would it be?” “If snow could fall in any flavor, what would you choose?” “Which month of the year do you think describes your personality?” “Everyone has a moment in which they wish that they had had a camera. Which moment do you wish above the others that you had captured?” “What is your best quality?” And others like that.

lol, mom is buzzed. I have only seen her buzzed like two other times XD She is so giggly and playful. Ryan is buzzed too. Also very giggly. They along with Brandi have gone down to see if they can find anything in the dark ocean.

Oh! I’ve updated the post below to contain a few photos (mostly para tu Bara because well, Tov gets to see lots of them on deviant.)

So, I think I’m in love. It takes away all my pain, which is very difficult… its name: Aloe. Aloe Vera. XD  Its my new best friend. It makes my burns not hurt any more… They need to make an Aloe Vera for memories o.0!

Miss you!

Niight! Sleep sweet and Dream well! (though one of you is probably reading this in the middle of the day and the other is just starting out the night XD)

P.S. As Rose was so kind to point out, there will be some interesting spelling/word mistakes as I type these up and post them. I don’t really reread them xD Don’t have the time…

Hawaii Dia 3

Me thinks I burned my ears. ;_;

Today was pretty much dedicated completely to the Sunset Cruise. We got up a little later then we have the last two days which was nice. But I was up a few minutes and I got this pain in my stomach. It was like someone digging at my stomach with a dull knife T-T As one would guess, it didn’t take me long to end up curled up in a ball on the bed. This is where I stayed while everyone else got ready to go to breakfast.

After another wonderful breakfast at Eggberts, we went to the town where the cruise started. While mom and Mike checked us in, I got to see this really awesome parrot that is outside the shop. She is 12 and such a cool bird. Once we checked in we wondered around the town and I managed to get a couple cool pictures. We went and saw one of the largest trees I have ever seen. It was amazing because it had flowers growing out of it. And tucked back in the base, there was a mask which was really cool and slightly creepy. And just around the corner there was a swinging bridge over a river. I went about halfway across but Mikey swinging it made it just too much so I had to get back to land. We wasted two hours before having to go back to the shop so we could leave.

Then it was the sunset dinner cruise which was amazing. I looove the ocean *.* ish so pretty and so comforting to be on it. I got like, 300 pictures on it. We were able to go to a section of the island that can only be reached by boat or by helicopter. This is the area that part of Jurassic Park was shot at.

We also got to see tons and tons of whales XD When we would see one, the Captain would slow down and stop the boat so we could watch them. Some of them looked like they were waving their fins at us. They were on there sides and would stick their fins out and then slap the water. There was also a couple babies that we saw. They were so playful and kept jumping out of the water. I wasn’t able to gets a good picture but I didn’t think that I would be able to.

We were out there for hours. Then at the end of the cruise, we got to see the SUN (<.<>

Mom got SUNBURNED! Oh my god. She looks like a lobster. And when she went took off her bra to show the burn, one could almost think she hadn’t taken it off. God, it burns just looking at her. ;_;

Yummy. ‘Hawaiian Milk’ is soo good XD Hawaii’s Milk = Passion Orange Nectar.

OH! And I have come to another conclusion! The only way it can be better then swimming in a pool feet away from the ocean while it is raining is to be swimming in a glowing pool feet from the ocean at night when the stars are amazingly clear and bright *.* So nice to just float on my back in the dark and look at the stars.

Miss you guys. Really Really wish that you were here.

~Niiight

Hawaii Dia 2

My skin is soo soft *.* Amazing that the ocean does that.

Today has been pretty good. We didn’t have anything planned today activity wise. We all woke up when we wanted… well, kind of. I got up because I could hear that everyone was up so I rolled myself out of bed (at 8. Woke up at 7:30 but laid there for a while. Oh, and I didn’t really sleep well because I don’t have Cheshire. Bara, didn’t realize how badly I need something to cuddle with to sleep well XD)

I’m kind of glad that I did roll out of bed when I did. I stepped out the room and saw that Mom and Jessi were on the balcony covered in birds. As soon as i saw that, I started getting my camera ready. Problem was, I was like the walking dead XD. So I shuffled around the house to get the batteries, the camera, and the memory while looking like a disaster. My hair was a mess, my shirt was hanging off one shoulder and one pant leg rolled up to my knee (great image isn’t it Bara XD)

I did get some awesome pictures once I did get the camera put together… for example…

That be Jessi’s hand XD

Then, we headed off to breakfast, where we will be eating our breakfast almost everyday, Eggbert’s. I must say, I thought that mom’s version of coconut French toast was good… She just can’t seem to get it like the original *.* It is sooo good! Especially if you are into really sweet stuffs. OH! The birds! They are everywhere! Being the restuarant doesn’t have any doors or real walls, the birds just walk around and wait for people to either drop foods or to feed them. They don’t care how close they are to you if they get something to eat out of it.

Afterwards, we traveled the North Shore. We ended up going to the tree that Mom and Mike wrote our names on in the leaves… It has been cut back so that none of the original leaves are there. There were leaves there with writing from 10 or more years ago. So that made mom really sad to see it pretty much gone. But she didn’t have time to remain depressed long because just around the corner was a lighthouse and amazing view of the ocean. The color of the water there was somehow even more amazing! I didn’t think that possible but it managed. There were also these birds that were up to six feet across. I wasn’t able to get a good picture of any of them like I wanted.

Weird that the order of the day already seems to be blending together. Then I think we traveled further along the road to this huge cave. It was so cool. And the ground was really soft like sand. The smell was really nice, really earthy (imagine that, a big hole in the ground smelling like dirt…Yes, I am criticizing myself.) A little further up the road, there was a second cave but it was full of water. the pictures are really interesting because the first picture it doesn’t look that large but then you put people in it for comparison and you realize just how large it really is. (these two pictures are the same cave. Sorry they aren’t my best pictures…)

On the way back to town, we stopped at one of the most popular beaches of Kauai, we had it to ourselves for the most part. It wasn’t sunny and the waves were epic XD most people want to be able to swim but I thought the large waves were so amazing. I got tons of video of it because I just didn’t feel like I could capture the epic-ness of them via pictures. o.o

It was cloudy almost all day save when we did finally got back to the condo. We got back and the sun finally peaked through so we all threw on our swimsuits and played around in the ocean and pool. I have come to… 3 conclusions. The only way to make playing around in the ocean better is for it to be raining while playing in the ocean. The only way to make swimming in a pool better is to be swimming in the pool listening to the ocean feet away. The only way to make that better… is if it is raining too. All three of those situations happened today. XD

Mom said that she lost like 10 pounds the last time she was here. Yesterday I didn’t understand how that would work with all the amazing foods. Today I understand. Just walking from one end of the beach to the other in wet sand is killer –.0 Then swimming in the ocean with the huge waves is soo fun but my legs feel like jelly now. Then, after washing off, we swam around the pool which we some how got to ourselves. Right! The ocean has made my skin soo soft! I keep rubbing my foot because it is amazing how smooth it is (especially now that I have finally gotten rid of all the sand. funny how sand seems to get EVERYWHERE o.0)

The Fam is off eating Sushi while Jessi and I stayed behind. Don’t mind cause I has Panda Express XD

You better know that I love you guys –.- I am standing, half dressed in PJs, outside the office of the condos with my laptop balanced on a post so that I have internet access to post this.

Hope you are well!

Niight!

Hawaii Dia 1

So. Tired.

So, hopefully I will be able to post this after taking the time to type it up XD I’m sure that it will.

I guess I might as well talk a little about yesterday as well as today. We started out on the road promptly at 9 in the morning. Mikey was even in the car on time. We left Jessi behind to be later picked up by R & B.

The road trip was fairly uneventful. It didn’t even snow –.- We got to see it snowing off in the distance… Mom didn’t mind. Though she did complain about it being so boring a drive. Too straight for her. It was nice getting to spend lots of time with Tov XD Even if there was plenty of time were we just spaced out the window marveling at the epicness of clouds. (and it was even worse today on the plane. Once again, thank god I wasn’t on drugs.)

We got to the hotel and they had over booked the parking. They wanted mom to leave her keys with them… as you can imagine that didn’t go over well. Of course, they moved the cars so that she could park it herself and she got to keep her keys. But while she was going to war with them, we (Tov and I) got to sit around in the car and wait. Then we unpacked the car went up and chilled until Tov’s dad came and picked him up. It was an interesting and short meeting. He shook hands with mom and mike at the beginning and the ending but never tried to shake hands with me. We didn’t talk much, i tried to talk with him but the one time I did, he accidentally interrupted me. Doesn’t help that I’m not great with new peoples…

Then once Tov left, I slept until J got there with R & B. Sure didn't seem like a long time. It should have been longer XD (And being you are probably thinking I should have just gone to sleep in the car… I didn’t want to miss anything. And about not taking your sweater, I know that if I had, I would have fallen asleep curled up under it…would have loved that but didn't want to miss anything) Yes, that was a message for Tov XP Any way, After that, nothing really happened. Ben and Joey came by to visit. They brought the doughnuts that mom requested XD (Ben is still very attractive Bara XD He got another tattoo though I didn’t get to see it. Joey looks like a Jr. High boy in an adult body. Skinny Jeans *shakes head*) We didn’t end up going to bed until between 11 and 12.

This morning at the unnatural hour of 6 >.< we had to get up. We had to get down to the lobby to be shuttled to the airport by 7. 9:30 we took off. (Security sucked. I spaced my lotion in my bag so they threw it away! T-T that was my favorite…They also had to search my bag because of my laptop.) We got to Honalulu at around 5 our…your… time… then after an hour, we got on another plane that brought us to Kauai. That one was a short flight, we got up, had a drink, and landed. 45 minutes total i think.

I didn’t step off the plane and burn to a pile of ashes because there was no sun. Tis stormy and raining (which was really cool to see from the plane.) It looks like it might be like this all week XD I don’t really mind but everyone else seems to.

So once we got here, we got our van which was more difficult then it needed to be. First, mom wanted to get insurance except that it was more than the cost of renting the van >.< Then when we found out that our normal insurance covered us, we got in the van and realized that something upfront was broken. We think it was the cruise control that was just kind of hanging from the stirring wheel. Then we had to wait 10-20 minutes for them to find and clean a new one. Jessi didn’t seem to mind as she was completely distracted by one of the… MANY chickens and roosters running around.

Finally got to our condo. It is amazing and beautiful. It almost seems nicer then our house o.0 The grounds around it are so pretty. I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow and get pictures. *wiggles* The view from the balcony is… better then I could have imagined. We are so close to the ocean. I’m sitting here (yet again the last one awake) at the counter listening to the ocean. I ish so happeh! Once we got here, we wondered around, I called some peoples to brag XD and then we headed down to the water. I didn’t take my camera so I will have to go back down tomorrow (the horror) and gets lots and lots of pictures.

Then we went out to dinner which was decent and then got foods for the kitchen. Everyone is…was exhausted so it didn’t take long after to start heading to bed. I unpacked all my stuff and started looking though what pictures i did take. Ryan grabbed a beer and went out on to the balcony while Mikey spaced out at a show on Harleys. Jessi rocked on the couch listening to the music and mom unpacked her stuff. She loves putting everything away XD I think it makes it official for her. Now they have all lefted me to sleep. Jessi is, shocking, sleeping on the floor xD

Tis 11:43 your time and *checks phone* … only 9:43 here but I should probably be off to bed. We know how mom won’t be able to sleep in >.< As long as i’m not woken up but an alarm I guess that is alright… Right? e.e (< tired face)

I’ll try to get on and do this earlier tomorrow night so that I can upload pictures though you won’t see them Bara xP You has to wait. ; D

~Niight!! Sleep sweet and Dream well!

Testing

Wonder how this will work…

Lol, This is awesome. Lots more options here then I could figure out on Blogger itself… Now I can make a blog I never use look really nice and professional xD

hahaha bla bla bla

Now Lets see how this works.

And yes, < that be my photo.

Siigh

I guess there is such thing as too perfect. Today was going so well. I mean, it had its minor bumps along the way but that is expected of school. After school things were running so smoothly... mom and J were getting along. J was telling her all about the boys she know and have a crush on her, trying to get closer to mom. Ironic times; I'm doomed to live with them. Really I am. J was so happy, she was getting ahead in class. She was trying to get all her homework done without asking me for help and she was exceeding. We had pizza for dinner. I should have know it was the quiet before the storm, not a moment of peace.
This stupid BOY got a letter from J and decided he thought that she was suicidal. So little boy ran to cop daddy and told him. Well cop daddy decided to tell his cop friend to come visit the house and have a 'talk.' and all the time, the BOY is telling me. I warned him this was stupid. that this would roll down hill and hit the fan. I told him to stop but he didn't. Cop showed up to the house with a copy of the note. Mom wasn't home at the time. she was relaxing, it was finally her turn to get her message from her brother-in-law. little did she know she was coming home to chaos.
J got sent to her room by our step dad. she went up crying. She then had to come down again to talk to the cop. Then she was sent upstairs again to only be summoned once mom returned. Summoned main be yelled at from a mother who could kill the child for being stupid. They yelled for a long while. I sat in my room, waiting for the eye of the storm to move on a little more before I ran to the bathroom to shower. Now I sit in my room, door shut, hoping that the family forgets my existence just a little longer.
J is sitting upstairs, still crying I'm sure, knowing she isn't allowed on the computer for an extremely long time. Now all the adults in the school will be watching her because, being in a small town, everyone is going to know. she is now on suicide watch. yah, i don't think that she will be talking to the stupid BOY again.
So, my ironic world prevails in showing me that there is such a thing as too perfect...
