So anyway. Being apart of a big family I realized I never got to find things I was truly interested in.
I was always a follower. I followed my older sister and what she liked including music, tv shows, movies, and the like. I had my own interests but nothing that I clearly remember calling my own. I enjoyed local music kapena, hapa, kealii riechel. Dancing hula was something I miss doing. My sisters and I participated in the QLCC program that helped hawaiian children learn about their hawaiian heritage with activites and group get togethers. I miss those days. Without a care in the world just worrying about what to wear for school, homework, And big tests...ahhhh those were the days!
My favorite memory during school was: playing teather (sp?) ball haha I was good at that game, with my height I had the advantage haha.
Which reminds me of dodgeball!
I wanted to play with the guys in 4th grade one guy yelled "NO GIRLS ALLOWED!!!" one day the ball came rolling to my feet I picked it up and and I flew it towards them. Lol. Only then did they want me to play. I was a shoe in every game. That was my thing up until 6th grade when suddenly all my friends seemed to be TOO COOL to hang with me.
I had to start from the beginning...
It was easy making friends, I had friends from each clique around school. It was fun jumping from group to group, something new was always going on. I joined band played the baritone....wish I played VOLLEYBALL...maybe id be in better shape today.
Anywayz! Fastfoward to highschool
That was a big blur, I wish I had paid more attention In class instead of being sucked into who was dating who and who liked who. Mindless jibba jabba!!!
However, senior year i found what seemed to be my calling cooking! I loved my cooking class, that dream was shattered when I failed miserably in a cooking competition
Not as easy as it looks on food network lol
I was inspired by that disney cooking movie where bobby flay appeared. I was so sure I was going to be a chef when I graduated.
I ended up working for hawaiian airlines after high school that was an amazing experience. Meeting new people travelling for FREE!!!!
getting $150 tips haha flying first class to Texas :) ahhhh the memories.
One piece of wisdom I will pass on:
NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DATE SOMEONE YOU WORK WITH! It almost always never works out. I made that mistake and never will again
Becuz im MARRIED!!!!
That is a different story for a different day. So until then
AUF WIEDERSEHEN!
(Btw im part German :) )

Even though we've gone to school together since elementary, I feel like I'm learning so much about you. I always liked you and thought highly of you..., it makes me feel good that you're still as kind as you were in school. (Sometimes people change over the years, and not for the better if you know what I mean.)
ReplyDeleteSame here! Since elementary huh? that is a long time to know someone! thought highly of me? i wish i spent more time with you, unfortunately got caught up with other peoples drama and I never made time for my real friends...mistakes i wish i could take back, its never too late to catch up. at least now we have another place other than facebook to keep in touch! im so glad i decided to start blogging. i usually keep a journal but this is much more practical.
ReplyDeletei know what you mean about people changing after school. Im happy to see that you are the same cute japanese girl i remembered you to be. I noticed from fb that you have been through some hardships as well. Those things only make us stronger and gives us the ability to pass that knowledge and wisdom to our children. you are doing such a great job with your kids, I hope to do the same with mine!
ttyl!
