Polyvore and twittering

I have discovered the art of polyvore-ing. It's like collage-ing but less messy. loves it. where have you been my whole life???




officially a twiiter bug, can't wait to get my blackberry so I can twitter my little heart out.

The monster in my room

I'd like to run and hide, but I just can't seem to escape the monster in my room... no it's not my boyfriend, it's the clutter and mess, that just seems to constantly pile up. I would post a picture of it, but I don't want to scare everybody. This weekend I'm doing major clean up. Seriously.

flu shot time

last january-febuary I got the flu...BAD. And I not only got it once but twice... well not really twice I probably didn't fully recover from it the first time and it just came back to bite me in the ass even harder. My doctor put me on 2 antibiotics and 2 steroids. I was miserable. Now flu season is just around the corner. My office is offering free flu shots this month and I'm debating whether or not to get it. Nightmares of my most recent flu haunt me that I want to get it. But I've been hearing stories that the shot doesn't really work. Not to mention, they inject you with the flu and you could experience mild flu-like symptoms, and THAT is a scary thought (body aches, miserable head aches, chills, etc.). Also I'm not good with shots (whoa that has so many implications), my gardasil shot, made my arm feel bruised and itchy for like 3 weeks.

-------
well I signed myself up for the shot, decided to suck it up and take one for my immune system.

the boyfriend is sick and I've done a pretty good job of staying away. or so I thought.... my throat is itchy today. oh the horror that lies ahead...

deeper then any root or stone...

great song alert, read below. contemplating whether or not to go see justin nozuka in concert next week.

-------------------------

don't you wake up yet 

give me some time

to watch you asleep 

oh angel of mine

and i would be fine, as long as you're near me 

oh angel of mine

but tomorrow if a golden train came to take you away,

would you go or would you stay

here in this cozy room just me and you

cuddling and kissing, making sweet love,

shooting star wishing and watch the sun come up

and then we'll sleep all day

meet in our drams and live life our way 

drop it all off and we'll fly away

dip through the stars and wake up slowly

oh one thing i know for sure 

is my  love for you is deeper then any root or stone,

mama told me so

don't walk the streets alone

- "Golden Train," Justin Nozuka

Goooooolllllld!

I got a bad case of Olympics fever. 8 for Phelps! yay! Shawn Johnson finally got one on beam. I love that girl, she's just so cute.

Speaking of Phelps, Saturday me, Mike, Priya, and her friends Jenna, Taz, and Bronson had a wonderful day at the beach. Inspired by the eight time gold medalist's pre-swim bird flap stretch, I tried to do my own sad version of it, bent over flapping my arms like some weirdo. It then prompted Priya to try it out. I told Mike to buy me a swim cap because I'm going to attempt to be a swimmer. We'll see how long this motivation lasts.

Metromixing

Gannett and Honolulu Advertiser recently launched a new project: Metromix Honolulu. A cool site to check out the happenings around town. Diane and Tracy (my cubicle neighbors) have been working hard on this site, and the site is super rad. You can log in and mark your favorite haunts and even make playlists.
Check mine out: my playlist
...and if you can't head online to find out whats going on, there's always the good ol' TGIF (every Friday and found at Starbucks across the island). :)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeekend is finallllllllllly herrrrrrrrrrrre.
If I don't make it out to the family festival or to the beach, I might just park it on the couch and watch some Summer Olympics. Tomorrow's highlight: Men's Soccer, US vs. Japan. Only thing sad... Landon Donovan is not on the team. :(

Sanrio

I'm not going to lie, the Asian girly girl fob in me loves Sanrio. You can say this love was fed throughout my childhood. I remember when I was little my sister and I would go to Shirokiya with my grandma and auntie, and my grandma would let us pick something from the Sanrio section (actually, maybe not so little because I recall my grandma kept doing this when I was still 14). This was before Sanrio Surprises or an actual Sanrio store, I swear the only places I could get my Hello Kitty fix was at Liberty House or Shirokiya. I also remember going crazy at Shirokiya's Sanrio Fair, and to this day I refuse to give up things I've made there such as... a hanky I colored, a dinosaur plush pin I "sewed" together, and sand art. Now days, I still frequent Sanrio for cute bento boxes, office supplies, etc. My favorite Hello Kitty items are my Hello Kitty blind box toys, my dad got for me at Urban Outfitters! Can you imagine how much money I'd wasted on Sanrio in Japan?!?
