Back to Work

Well, I'm feeling all better. I really hate being sick, its not much fun at all. I worked my Sunday shift and now I've got the night shift (from 5pm to 9pm) today so its a nice ease back into work. This week in general will be nice just cause its a short week. I've got to look up some stuff for my mum tonight after the lab closes. She is planning on coming to my graduation in January with some of my aunts and is looking into a vacation rental for a week rather than a hotel. I'm looking forward to seeing her and my aunts, its been a long time for most.

Last night was a good night, Chris, Jamie, Melissa and I went to see Miami Vice. It was fun to all hang out but the movie wasn't that great at all. It was really slow in a lot of places. After work tonight Melissa said she would pick me up to go to a late dinner. I think we are going to try for Old Spaghetti Factory. Its got good food and we always have a good time when we go, I'm looking forward to hanging out for a bit. Anastasia's b-day is on the 5th. I got part of her present today and I'm hoping it will get to Hawaii on time. It should but the way to post system working in Hawaii you never know.

95% Better

I'm waiting around having a coffee before I have to open up the lab. I feel so much better today. I can swallow without a ton of pain and the aches are just about all gone. Being sick is one of the worst feelings I know. It would have been a nightmare if I didn't have some friends stop by.

I have to thank Melissa for bringing me medication and soups. It was a busy day but she managed to spend some time with me. It was very nice and I can't thank her enough. Anastasia deserves a thank you too. She came over with hot tea and honey and a full box of teas for me. She and I were able to catch up a bit. With both visits I wasn't doing much talking but it was very nice of both of them.

This coming week is a short one (17 hours) so I'm hoping to catch up on things with all my friends. I want to see a few movies and have a few dinners. Anastasia, Jamie, and Melissa had all invited me to the movies and or dinner over the last week and I feel bad that I had to decline. Now that I'm soon to be all better I will have to invite them all out :-)

I Hate Sick

I've missed the past few days of work. I'm going to go tomorrow though. I'm starting to feel a little better than I have been. Sitting at home in pain every time you swallow and feeling achie all over isn't much fun at all. I hope it will all be over sooner than later. I stopped in to the lab today to check email and post do a quick post here. I'm going to go back home to see if I can get rid of this now.

Get Together

Everybody at Chris' place. I was not feeling to good but it was the first time we all could get together in a long time. It was a fun time, I haven't hung out with Chris in a long time.

Sick

I Woke up this morning to a nice sore throat and a general feeling of blah. I've gotten some throat lozenges which have helped a little. I've got a get together tonight with Chris, Melissa, and Jamie. I'm looking forward to it, but I might not go, all I really want to do right now is curl up in bed. Argh, I don't like this feeling much, hopefully it doesn't last very long.

Unexpected Dinner

I'm off to an unexpected dinner with Melissa. We are going to the Harbor Pub. Its a nice little pub near where Melissa lives. Their food is well prices and very tasty. Its a nice atmosphere to hang out in too. On my way I bike through AlaMoana Beach park and took some pictures :-) The scenery makes it a nice ride into Waikiki.

This is the start of the beach... Its a nice view I think.

Almost 1/2 through the park. You can start to see the edge of Waikiki and further on you can see Diamond Head.

This is the end of the park. You can see the AlaMoana boat docks and a bunch of hotels behind them.

Melissa meeting me for dinner. She is carrying her snake board, its a odd kind of skateboard.

Hello World

Hi everyone. The weekend went by fast as usual, but it was enjoyable. I went to Detox with Melissa and a friend of hers, Will. We met up with Jamie and Molly there for a bit too. The bands were all very good and the company was nice. We danced a bit and hung out. Made for a nice Friday night.

Saturday was a big day for Melissa. She teaches art to kindergarten kids during a summer program. This week as the last for the program and the school put on a art show. There is work from all ages and all kinds of items from clay sculptures to drawing and painting to you name it. I went in the early afternoon to see Melissa and the show. Later in the evening I went to see a movie, Lady in the Water, with Melissa. I had thought the movie was going to be a scary but it turned out to be a nice story. There were one or two moments of suspense, but there were more funny and enjoyable moments.

Sunday was nice. I met up with Anastasia in the morning for coffee and chatting around 9. We hung out right till I start work at about 1130 or so. Anastasia has been nice enough to come downtown in the mornings to Aloha Towers, I know its a bit of a trip that early on Sunday. Its a nice time though, we can sit outside the shops and talk for a bit. Work on Sunday is always a little slow. Not many people came to the lab so I played on the computer and texted some friends.

Slow Week

It been a rather slow week. Not that that's a bad thing. I had dinner with Jamie a few days ago and have just been hangin at home in the evenings. Works been nice, some smallish projects but nothing to trying. I'm starting to look forward to school starting... Its my last semester before I graduate. Not much else going on right now, just waiting for work to start :-) Have a good day.

Another Week Begins

Its a new week and a new day :-) I've got some new cloths to wear, 2 pants, 1 shorts, and 3 shirts. I'm glad Melissa came along as between the two of us I got some nice looking, comfortable cloths that are just a bit different than I normally wear (color, no grey!). I'm currently sitting at Bon Bon Cafe having my morning coffee. Henry, the owner, says hi to everyone. I got about another half hour before I start work.

Hope you all have a good day.

Feeling better.

Me in Waikiki, Melissa took the picture. I've been feeling alot better today than I have in the past week. Having a great time out and about. Melissa says Aloha.

Greetings

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I've been feeling a little down and out of it the past few. I'm trying to get over "it" but that's not the easiest thing in the world to do.

Anyway, Superman was a really good movie. I would highly recommend it to everyone. There are some things I think I saw wrong as far as story-line from the first movies go, but I might just be mad :-) The other night Jamie had me over for a movie at her place. We watched Shakespeare in Love. Wow, that's a really good movie too. Its a definite tragic love story, but it is really well done. The evening was very nice, we got to catch up on a bit of life and had a nice time.

Last night Anastasia called and we talked for a little bit. She was at Indigos, a club/bar/restraunt place in town. Having been in a down and out mood I stayed home but it was nice to chat. We are getting together for coffee tomorrow.

Today I'm off shopping with Melissa. I need some new cloths, pants and manybe a nice shirt or two to go out in. Dad got me a lot of stuff while I was in Australia so I have mostly new stuff as is, but I've put on a good bit of weight sense I quit smoking. Anyway I'm meeting her in an hour or so to walk around the mall maybe grab dinner too. Tonight I've been invited to Detox by Melissa so will probably head there too.

That's the big stuff for the past few days. The only other thing that's sticking out is my rather painfull burn. A motorbike was parked next to my bike in the bikerack. When I unlocked mine, my leg hit the exhaust of the motorbike. Let me tell you that feels great :-]

Superman Night

Last night we ended up going to E&O Trading Company for dinner. Its an Asian/Indian place at Ward. Neither of us had eaten there before so we gave it a try. The food was very very good, I'd highly recommend it. The prices are not to bad, 2 people was 50 dollars. That's two meals and two appetizers with drinks. We hung around after the meal and chatted for awhile. It was a nice evening.

Tonight Jamie, Melissa and myself are getting together for dinner and a movie. We have all been looking forward to seeing Superman Returns for awhile now. Now that I'm a member of the theater we can get the reserved seats up front by the railing. Makes a nice place to put up your feet and it gives a very nice view of the screen. Should prove to be a fun night.

Dinner at Ward

This is one me my local hangouts. Its about a 25 min. bike ride to get here from where i live. There is the movie theater, some shops and a few nice places to eat. It's also right across the street from the beach. I'm waiting for Anastasia to come so we can grab a bite. We might go to Ku'aina, a great little burger place on the corner (would be behind me while i took the picture)

Good End to a Good Week

I'm having my coffee outside waiting for work to start at noon. The weekend was nice for the most part. Melissa and I wet to first Friday and saw her friends gallery. It was nice, her pieces were oil paintings of sites around the island. After we went to Mercury for a quick Corona before walking around. It turned into a few Coronas and then we met a friend there. After talking for awhile we realized that there was no time to walk around as we had to head over to Detox for a show and to meet up with Jamie.

Detox was ok for the most part. The music was good and the company was nice. We stayed till the closing at 2:00am. Melissa and I said goodbye to Jamie and friends to head off to our bikes. After getting to the bikes we sat down for a second and 2 hours later (just a quick nap on the sidewalk, Melissa was exhausted) we went our separate ways home.

Today should be relaxing, there really isn't much going on. I have to work from noon till 5 and after that I don't have plans. Most likely I'll just head home for some TV. I'm hoping to get the schedule for next week today. Its my 17 hour week so I should have a nice bit of free time to play (summer and no classes is rather nice). I want to get a movie night together with friends, a dinner with Jamie, a dinner with Melissa and maybe workout getting tickets to a play. They are performing "The King and I" at the concert hall. Other than that no real plans for the week.

First Friday

Well, last night I went to see a movie with Jamie. We set up planes to have a dinner next week and to possibly meet up tonight at Detox. We went to see The Lake House. It was a cute chick-flic stile movie, I'de recommend it. After the movie I was on my way home when I heard from Melissa so I met up with her and Char, one of her friends. That was nice, we went to D&B and played some games. The whole evening was quite nice.

Tonight is the first friday of the month, that means downtown Honolulu will actually be open late. There is a nice sized art community here and all the galleries are open late. They have snaks and drinks at most. People just walk around looking at the different galleries all night. I've gone a few times and I might stop by tonight before or after Detox.

Tired In The Morning

The coffee is having a hard time waking me up today, thats probably because I had a good time last night ;-) I went to dinner with Anastasia at the Old Spaghetti Factory. It was nice catching up with her for a bit. After taking the bus home I had every intention of going to bed and getting a good night sleep but that just didn't work out. I got a message that some friends were at Mercury, a local bar close to where I live, so I went to visit for a little bit. That turned into a long little bit. I ended up getting home at about 12:30AM and am paying the price for it today.

I'll be fine after my second cup I'm sure :-)

Fireworks!

To start the night off Mellisa and I went to the bar and had a couple beers. Around 8:00 we headed out for the show. I know its a bit fuzzy but the fireworks were great. We went to the top of the mall's parking lot and listened to a local band before watching the show. The display was 20 min. long. All in all it was a great night out.

Dinner

I'm going to dinner with Melissa tonight, not sure where yet though. We might catch a movie after that. Its the simple things in life that make it all worth while :-)

Start of the Week

Well its a new week. It should be fun though as the Fourth of July is tomorrow. Not sure where I'll e for the night but it will e fun I'm sure. The rest of the week is just like any other. Work alot and relax in the evening. I've ordered a data cable for my new phone and I've ordered the extended battery for it. I'm hoping the data cable is inthe mailbox when I get home tonight. It will let me "unlock" the phone.

Sunday At Work

Well its sunday afternoon and I'm at work. As you can imagine there arn't many people that come in on Sunday during the summer. There may be 4 or 5 the whole day. Its relaxing though as I can play on the internet.
