Another Week Down

      In the middle of September. This week went by fast and slow. Rehearsals are starting to become longer hours as we inch closer to the day of production performance. Actors have to be off book, getting their blocking down. Tech theatre students have to finish the set, attending work call days. The theatre is part of my senior year, part of my entire high school career. I am very glad to say it has been with me all these years. It's really been a pleasure to be able to work more with theatre this year. Through tears and stress this week, I managed a great Friday. 

       I got to volunteer on Friday, and I was greeted with a little boy that I know for two years with a hug. I waved and said "hi" to some of the kids and two little girls waved back and smiled. Those smiles melted my heart. One little girl wanted to show me her cups tower after it was built each time she stacked them. At least I saw the final piece before it came crumbling down. The other little girl who waved at me drew a drawing for me. I stopped by a few times to see what she was drawing and compliment her, and when she was done, she gave it to me. I literally felt so touched at that very moment. I rarely get any drawings from little kids, and to receive one is such an honor and a moment I'll never forget. It brings a smile to my face every time I think about it. 

       Towards the end of the day, I had last minutes plans with my friends to support our other friend, Lauren, performing in Foreign Exchange at the Mosaic Lizard Theatre. It was my first time going to her productions because other times, it would always collide with my schedule. This time I had some time, and boy the production was splendid. It really captivated me into the story, and I found it really amazing how someone can create this piece. It was an original piece. It was absolutely amazing. Full of comedy and laughs. Something I needed to end my week on. 

      A great note to end my week.

Blurred Vision

       Not every vision, idea, and emotion is clear. Just like life, it can be blurry, no sense of direction. Sometimes we cannot see what is the right decision or the right path to take. All we can do is take a risk and see where it leads us. It will be a different journey than the other path, but either path, we will have an adventure along the way to get where we want. Nothing is perfect, just go with the gut feeling and see where it takes us. Sometimes the best choice is the one no one would have chosen. Take that risk and see.

Aloha Friday

        Ohana means family. There are days we all need a family hang out day. Today was one of those, as I call it, Aloha Day. I spend my lunch with my mom and sister at Aloha Food Factory. It was a really nice cozy food place, but the wait is long. It took half an hour for our Macadamia Nut Pancakes to come. We also ordered Kalua Pork Plate and Bacon Fried Rice. They were all so very delicious. I loved the cream on the top of the fluffy pancakes. It was a great combination of sweet on fluffiness. The Kalua Pork Plate was very good too, especially with the side of cold macaroni salad and the pork was excellent. The Bacon Fried Rice was a nice dish as well. The wait was a bit long, but I would say it's worth it. First time here. The lady at the register said that come by before or after lunch on the weekdays. It gets crowded easily because there isn't many tables in restaurant. But one can always order take out. All in all, it was a great way to start my afternoon. Have a good weekend folks! 

Happy September

       Happy first day of September everyone! A new month calls for a new start. Start fresh if you need to. Go have a new adventure. I for one am going to be working on a school production. An adventure I am so psyched to be a part of. More on the play soon, but for now go have a great September everyone! It's fall season, time to take on adventures and go for it.

The Habit

        Friday calls for a stop at The Habit. After school ended, my sister took my mom and me out to eat. This is my first time trying this place, and I have to say fries taste so good! I haven't eaten fries for so long. The fries were really good! Same goes for the burgers. And don't forget... yam fries! They are good too! Must make it the habit to go to a burger joint a few times a year. Have a great week everyone!
