End Of The Year

How was everyone's Christmas? Hope everyone had a nice holiday and got what they wanted.

I got my sister the wrong digital camera! She did want the thinner one! She ended up going shopping with me the next day to exchange the camera for the correct one which cost another $160! Oh well, at least when we go on trips I won't have to take pictures anymore! :P

My brother enjoyed his present from me & my sister. We got him the Tony Hawk Underground 2 PS2 game. He's having a ball with it!

My mom loves her wallet, especially since she really needed a new one. I should've got the bright green Tommy Hilfiger wallet! She would've killed me! XD

I got what I wanted, which was some long-sleeved T-shirts. Also, one of my good friends got me a gift card from Borders Books so now I can go buy some new mystery and fantasy books to read!

We went to my Aunty's house in Mililani for Christmas lunch and dinner. I ate too much! There went my diet! Oh well, at least the food was good! We played Mah Jong again. This time I broke even, which is pretty normal for me. My cousin who's going to college on the mainland came home for Christmas, but he's leaving again on Wednesday, so he won't be here for New Year's. I kinda miss him. We're always beating each other up and I actually miss that! ^_^"

I saw some video of the tsunami that hit Asia on the news. It looks so bad! I really feel so badly for all those people. So many dead, so much destruction! I'm glad that Bonita and the others are safe. I was really worried for awhile there! I hope those people will be able to get their lives back together again, but I'm sure it will take a lot of time and healing.

Well, time to go and watch Kasouken No Onna! Ja ne! ^_^

Merry Christmas!

I'll be spending the day at my Aunty's house in Mililani again, so just a short entry to wish everyone Merry Christmas! Hope everyone got what they wanted!! ^_^

You are the Falcon! (I am to) You are creative,
artistic, brave, and always craving freedom.
You constantly daydream because you know that
there is something bigger out there. You are
destined for greatness and are loyal, friendly,
but a bit of a loner. You only have a few
friends, but they are loyal, trustworthy and
will be with you forever. You are tied to the
occult and magic, the stars and moon, and the
forest. Let your heart guide you and you
intelligent mind give you strength and
stability.

You are a Hero. You dive head first into every
situation with no idea or attack plan - but
your strength and natural intuition have saved
your ass more times than anyone can criticize.
You are good and hard-headed, love and
respected. Your ultimate weaknesses are naivety
and pride.

Your Element Is Air

You dislike conflict, and you've been able to rise above the angst of the world. And when things don't go your way, you know they'll blow over quickly. Easygoing, you tend to find joy from the simple things in life. You roll with the punches, and as a result, your life is light and cheerful. You find it easy to adapt to most situations, and you're an open person. With you, what you see is what you get... and people love that!

What's Your Element?

Do I Really Need One?

Sorry about the title, but I couldn't think up one! :P

I FINALLY got my Christmas shopping done yesterday! Spent 5 hours straight at Ala Moana Shopping Center buying all my gifts in one shot! After doing the laundry, cleaning the yard and doing the grocery shopping I went straight to Ala Moana Shopping Center. I got there at about 9:30 or so. There was still quite a few parking spaces open so I got off to a good start! I planned out the night before exactly what I was going to buy and which store I was going to buy the things at, but some things went awry. I wanted to buy my boss a nice coffee set, but I couldn't find anything that was very good at either Gloria Jean's or the Honolulu Coffee Co. so I ended up buying him an assorted tea set from L'Epicier. Hope he likes tea! ^^;

My sister's present is the most expensive. $400 for a Sony CyberShot Digital Camera. I have a feeling I bought her the wrong one though. After I bought the camera I saw one that was thinner than the one I bought and I think that the thin one is the one she wanted. Oh well, she can always return it if it's the wrong one since I kept the receipt and everything.

After I came home I finished watching my videos. Watched the rest of Abaranger. All I have to watch now is the movie, then I can start on Dekaranger. Finally saw the new eps of Gakkou E Ikou, where Kamisen goes to Korea. Omoshirokatta! Go just cracks me up sometimes! Also decided to just watch the episodes of Botan To Bara where Shirakawa Yujiro appears. If he wasn't in this drama I don't think I'd be watching it at all. It's a little bit too depressing for me. If I was Botan I'd be smacking Kayo up and down the street. She's such a brat!

I'm not gonna be able to rent videos for two weeks now. Oh well, at least my order from Amazon Japan should be coming soon so I'll have new manga to read (my Gokusen vol. 10 is coming! Yay!!!) and I can finish watching Kamen Rider Kuuga again since the final DVD is in that order!

Hopefully I'll be able to post another entry before Saturday, but if not hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! Ja, mata ato de!! v^_^v

Ohisashiburi!

Wow, been almost a week since I last blogged! Been so busy at work, and my sister and brother have been keeping me off the computer at home so not much time to get on this past week.

My boss is going to the outer islands again today and tomorrow (which is why I'm on the computer now! I have a little bit of free time! XD) and he left me a stack of tax returns to put together and a couple to put into the computer. I just hope the phone doesn't ring off the hook today so I can finish these returns! It's getting really busy here at work since the end of the year is coming up. My boss is trying to finish THREE (count 'em THREE!!!) more boxes of tax returns, so he keeps piling returns on my desk. In between tax returns I've had to do payrolls (past couple of days have been really hectic!), run errands (pay my bosses loan, deliver payroll taxes to the tax office, etc.), and deal with my cold (which is pretty much done, thank goodness!). I still have to work on a bunch of corporation returns. I do all the preliminary work and my boss finishes up, but I just don't have the time to get to it with all this other junk piling up on my desk! Also gotta start closing up all the payrolls to get ready to print out W-2's and finish up the quarterly and yearly tax reports. Taihen desu! Mou tsukaretta! >.<;

Because I've been so busy I haven't been able to post very much at the forums. Just a few here and there mostly in the morning when I first come in to work. I miss everybody! :( I think I'm not the only one though, I know a lot of the other girls have exams now (Poor things! Glad I don't have that anymore!) and Aka has work (sounds more stressful than mine!), so I shouldn't complain. I probably have it a lot easier than everyone else does!

Oh yeah, hey Bonita, (if you happen to read this!) I had one of those dreams, but it had Shirakawa Yujiro in it instead of V6. Nande darou? I think somethings wrong with me cuz I never have dreams like that. Ask your mom if I'm getting desperate or something please!

Only eight more days until Christmas and I STILL haven't done any Christmas shopping! Gotta definitely go this weekend! I HATE SHOPPING! AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! Why do I always do this to myself! DAREKA TASUKETE KURE!!!!!!! XP

Highs And Lows

It's been pretty interesting the past few days. Lots of highs & lows for me.

Thursday was my 39th BD. I'm one step closer to the big 4-0! Scary. It was good in that I got to eat what I wanted (I ordered Korean Kim Chee Soup, actually I wanted Hawaiian food, but we just ate that on Tuesday!) and my brother let me have the TV for a night (I got to watch those Forensic TV Shows on Discovery!). On the down side I CAUGHT A COLD! BLEAH! It was bound to happen since everyone around me is sick. My boss is sick, the guy down the hall from us who always feeds us lunch is sick, my brother is sick, my sister is sick and most importantly, my EYE DOCTOR IS SICK!!!! What, you may ask, has my eye doctor have to do with my being sick? He's the one who made me sick! I had to go get my eyes checked last Saturday since I had to go renew my license. When I went in he had a cold! Of course, being an eye doctor he has to get up in my face to check my eyes right? So he ended up breathing into my face a lot. I was fine until a couple days after that appointment, so I'm sure it must be him who gave me my cold! FEH!!

On a high note, all my new friends that I met at my forums all remembered my BD. 嬉しい!!!! It's nice when people remember (even though sometimes I want to forget how old I am! :P). I'm so lucky that I got up enough courage to join those forums! I've met so many really nice people there who have similiar interests as me, and I'm having so much fun! 皆 会えて よかった!!!!

On a down note, the UH women's volleyball team lost yesterday to Wisconsin in 5 sets. I guess the miracles finally ran out on the team. I was hoping they would at least make the Final 4, but I think they should all be really proud of themselves. They played really hard, always gave everything they had and never gave up. Hopefully, they'll be able to build on this for next year!

Today is Saturday so I'm at work *BLEAH!*, but after this I get to go rent videos again! Yay!! More Abaranger! Actually, I really need to go Christmas shopping. I still haven't started! Talk about a procrastinator yeah? One of these years I'm gonna end up buying everybody's Christmas presents after Christmas at this rate! XP

Well, better get back to work before my boss gets in! じゃ、また あとで 会いましょう！^_^

Miracles Do Happen!

A major miracle happened over the weekend. The UH football team actually beat Michigan State by 3 points, which means they will be playing in the Hawaii Bowl on Christmas Eve. I just can't believe it. I was sure they were gonna lose this one. I guess there's somebody upstairs who took pity on them and helped them out a little this time.

The women's volleyball team made it into the regional finals by beating both Colorado and Purdue. They'll be playing Wisconsin in Wisconsin next. Hope they can make it into the semifinals! Go Wahine!!

Still haven't started my Christmas shopping yet. I think I'll try to go next weekend (crossing fingers). Instead I borrowed videos again and picked up my magazines from Hakubundo. Actually, my immediate family is already taken of. My sister and I will be buying Nextel cellular phones for the family. Right now, I'm the only one in the family that doesn't have a cell phone (sad isn't it!) and my sister really needs a new one (she still has an old dinosaur bone looking phone!) so we decided to split the cost on a special that they're having, and buying everyone a new phone. Now I just gotta worry about the rest of my family and my friends! ^^;

I should be getting another shipment of comics and DVD's from Amazon in a couple of weeks. Can't wait for this shipment to come in since the new "Gokusen" comic is in there! Also the last DVD to complete my Kamen Rider Kuuga set is in there as well as a couple of Hurricanger DVD's! No wonder I'm so broke! :P

Well, time to get back to work again! Isogashii!!! >.< Mata na!
