2014 is upon us!  Another new date to remember to write.  When I worked at the bank, knowing the new year was required.  Especially when depositing checks!  So much has changed in the past few years.  I remember when I used to play with both fireworks and firecrackers during new years eve.  I can see why they need to ban it – the smoke nuisance can really affect anyone with asthma.  I remember once when I was a kid, I was playing with firecrackers and it popped in my hand.  My hand stung for like the whole night.  I would freak out if it happened to a kid in front of me but for me, it was a cool experience to have.  Hahaha okay sorry.  Just reminiscing a bit.  I hope you all had a great 2013 and I wish you all the best in 2014.  I leave you with a picture I took during a trip to Hilo a few years back.  This was like the calm before the storm called Saddle Road.  I didn’t know I drove on that thing until afterwards, it was nuts.  Happy New Year!

Hi folks!  I hope you guys are having a great holiday season!  I’ve been off since Christmas day and it has been great.  I’ve been spending time with family and friends so it’s been hard to update as regularly.  My cousin is back from Chicago for the break so I’ve been trying to get some quality time in with her!  I have all this pictures burning a hole in my hard drive that I must share with you guys!  And share I will!  I promise.  Just wanted to drop by in the meantime to say hello.  Here’s a picture from my day off last week.  I had a crazy month so taking that day off was amazing.  Boy was I productive!  I went all around the island that day!  Here’s a picture from the Pupukea Beach Park…:)

Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.  I already had a battery mishap – all things should come with batteries!   Okay positive attitude.    Anyway, I hope you folks get some good rest, good food and good gifts!  Hopefully you have some time off too!  Here’s a gingerbread tree I made…!
