Two weekends ago me and Wayne went to the Newtown driving range. It was a nice sunny Sunday, and Wayne and I tried to put our one semester of golf to good use. It was nice to be hitting balls, I forgot how much I enjoyed going to the driving range. Also it was awesome that beers were $3 and you could take them to your hitting stall. I wanna go to batting cages next, I doubt they let you drink beer there though.
My posts have been pretty sporadic, sometimes I think it's because I don't really like turning on my computer these days. Too many old photos and memories. You know I always though how wonderful digital media was you could save it forever. Now as I am finding it hard and a long process to get rid of the files I want. Damn you technology, damn you for making this harder than it should be.

That's it I'm calling it... 2010 was the year of the breakup. Sure there have been some major get togethers, a handful of new relationships, engagements, and marriages (congrats to all). But this year more long term couples I knew (myself included), you know the ones that you would never think to break up, the ones headed on THAT path, broke up unexpectedly. Not too mention some of my favorite celeb couples - Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens (Zac call me), Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush, David Arquette and Courtney Cox, Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry (ok they are purely fictional but I rooted all season I for them to get together only to have them break up earlier this month), they all called it quits. What was it about 2010? Just an unlucky year for love. Maybe all this happened so that 2011 will be a year of finding yourself again, a year of new beginnings, maybe finding love again.
So far singledom has been fun, reconnecting with family and friends, getting back to me. There are times where I think why me? But I believe everything happens for a reason. And Mike just wasn't my lobster. The real scary thing is starting all over again. I had my life planned with him in mind, now I have a blank, clean slate. What to do with it, I just don't know at the moment.
I also keep having this reoccuring dream, well not the whole dream, just this one part seems to be repeating itself. I'm in UpCountry Maui and there is a fork in the road, I'm on Old Haleakala Hwy. to be exact, right where it meets King Kekaulike High School. If I go left I hit Haleakala Hwy. and head up to Haleakala. If I go right I hit Kula Hwy. and head for the lavender farm. Both places I love to visit. It's ridiculous how vivid it is, I can actually see the road. I never pick which way I want to go though, I just stand there looking at both. In the beginning I thought it was because I haven't been to Maui in awhile and prior to breaking up I kept asking Mike to take me to Haleakala, so I was just doing some wishful dreaming. But since this scene has been in different dreams I decided to look it up. Here's what I got:
-Fork in the road- I have a big decision to make.
-Mountains- well they didn't have Haleakala specifically so I looked up mountains. It signifies major obstacles and challenges that I have to overcome, higher realm of consciousness, knowledge, and spiritual truth.
-Lavender- indicates mysticism and spiritual cleansing.
I'm not sure what to make of all this. I guess I'll have to keep sleeping on it.

Birthday dinner at Morimoto's! 
This was a chocolate peanut butter dessert, it was so, so, so goooooood! 
Bday party time! Krazy Karaoke with the cool kids!
The best roomies I could ever ask for.
 Yes, yes it was my birthday last week. I turned the big 2-7, sigh... another year of getting older. For the past 2 years my birthdays have been quite typical, dinner with the family at one of my favorite restaurants (Kua Aina's, I-naba... nothing too fancy) and a night out at a bar or club with my friends.  This year I wanted to change it up. I asked my parents if we could go to Morimoto's. Amazingly they agreed, probably because in years past I haen't asked for much. Morimoto's was amazing! Much better than Nobu. The drinks were overpriced. Morimoto beer was like $18 for 22 oz. I found it at foodland for $7. I loved it though, not too much I love the Edition.
The next night I planned a karaoke night with my friends. I had a blast, I freaking love Karaoke. And I think everyone who came (except Ala and Anna) sang! Best songs of the night were My Chick Bad, Don't Stop Believin', Deuces, and all the boy band songs!!! I can't believe I made it to work the next day.
Thank you to all my friends and family for making this birthdays one of the most memorable ones I've had in awhile! I really needed it.

Watched Practical Magic last night with the roomies and Sandra Bullock mention planting lavender for luck. Which then reminded me of Alii Kula Lavender Farm. My dad knows the owner and I was able to chat with her at the Made in Hawaii festival a few months ago. What I found so inspiring was that she started this farm on a whim. She just felt that this was her calling. I'd like to find that.

I've been kind of in a blogging rut. No motivation. I don't know why. So here goes...

Glee. So it's official I'm a Gleek, it's my newfound love. Last season I watched it off and on, wasn't hooked. Anna got season 1, disc 1 from Netflix and now I'm hooked. I actually own the complete season 1 on dvd, and iTunes has been banking off of my Glee downloads. I should've known I was going to get hooked this bad, I do love a good song and dance with hot guys (ahem Finn Hudson and Noah Puckerman and Mike Chang). I make everyone listen to the soundtrack and secretly wish Krazy Karaoke would have Glee versions of songs. Dork, I know, please don't slushy me.

My photoging has been uninspired lately. Wayne and I did take a trip up to the heiau, but I couldn't find my photoging swag.

Actually I can't seem to find much of anything. Christmas is in full swing, and none of my usual holiday season loves has gotten me into the spirit. Shopping is tiresome, the music is way too cheerful and sappy (don't ask, I know you're thinking but she just downloaded like half of the Glee soundtrack, talk about sappy), the lights haven't entranced me, not even our house Christmas card. I'm just a total Scrooge this season. Bah humbug.
