3 {wonder}ful things

So three things made this weekend amazing! And there's a story for each.
The first, Avatar. Once upon a time, I wasn't having the greatest day. I was tired. I felt sick. I found out something about one of my friends that made me kind of sad. And I was frustrated with an English assignment. Then it all changed. The wonderful Kathery called me and told me to come to her house where she would feed me delicious food and then we would watch AVATAR with her landlord and housemates! That definitely put a smile on my face.

The second thing will always be my favorite. I finally convince Max to take me surfing again. I did way good this time. I caught all my own waves! I still struggle staying up for a long time, but otherwise I did really good. Surfing is so fun. There's no other feeling like it. Once you get up there, it's like your flying. I just have to learn how to fly longer.

The last and third thing was totally unexpected. So once upon a time I was sitting in the RA office when I heard someone say "coconut M&M's". I was like "No Way?!?!" So I asked one of my friends about it. I asked if there was such a thing as coconut M&M's. They said there was no such thing. I was a little sad about that but I moved on. Then the next day, I was cleaning in the lounge for work when I dropped my key next to the vending machine. When I picked up my key, something caught my eye. It was an M&M's package... but it was white. I looked closer.... COCONUT M&M's!!!!!!!! It made my day! I ran back to my room and grabbed 3 quarters, 2 dimes and 1 nickel. The experience was wonderful! I love coconut M&M's!

Life just could not be better!

Spring Break!

The break was Awesome! And well needed! Let's see if I can conjure up some of the numerous activities that happened! First off, I spent pretty much every night with Kathery! She's amazing! I love her so much because she's always super happy and she makes me laugh out loud! Plus she always brings a wonderful spirit into the room. She's just so darn adorable.
One day we went to the beach with Brendan and Alan. It was super fun. Minus the part when Brendan threw me in the water (don't worry, I held on to him and ended up making him fall face first into the water too.) and when I swallowed half of the ocean because I was laughing so hard. My throat burned so bad for the rest of the night! That wasn't fun, but I ended up forgetting all about it.
One night, we went to a bonfire at Huki Lau beach. It was super fun. Our friend Mike was setting up the fire in the wind and rain. It was amazing. We walked over there with Shiri, whom is actually from Pleasant Grove (go figure!!), and met up with Mike there! Kristine showed up around that time too. Super fun! Then Two girls showed up with Dave, who is super funny. The girls didn't stay very long, which was a bummer, but we still had more people come. Lauren and Bonnie showed up after we got the fire started! Once we had that, we ate starburst's, talked, roasted marshmallows (which I can TOTALLY cook better than Mike!), made banana boats (Kathery's favorite!) , grilled some Bratwurst hot dogs and last but not least, watched as Mike cooked this GINORMOUS steak which we ripped apart and passed around like mountain men! it was legit!
Another night, we all got together at Kathery's house to make Brazilian candies and Apple sauce cake. (We ended up making homemade Musabi and noodles too). We had a ton of people there! (According to Kathery, half the world) There was Me, Kathery, Shiri, Lauren, Bonnie, Alan, Brendan, Harvey, Haile and my new roommate Briana. (Yep! That's half the world right there! LoL) We ate, we laughed, we teased, we preached. It was just another great night. We all kind of split up at the end. Kathery stayed home, Briana went to bed, Brendan and Alan had left early for Ultimate Frisbee, but that's where the rest of us ended up. This is where the night got crazy. It was Brendan's last night in Hawaii so he REALLY wanted to do something fun. However Lauren was super sick. Apparently she was soooooo sick that Alan, Shiri and Bonnie decided to take her to the hospital. (two things, She never sleeps, which might be the reason she's sick and she went to Kahuku hospital, they never help with anything!) Anyway, so I was left with Brendan, who really didn't want to go to the hospital, and Chantal, who has the biggest crush on Brendan! To Chantal, I was the third wheel. To Brendan, I was a hero! hahaha. We ended up going to foodland to get drinks and then we watched Dodge-Ball at Chantal's house. (p.s. Don't watch Dodge-Ball! It's sooooo bad!) No bueno. But it was still fun to hang out with Brendan before he went back home.
One night, we did the funnest thing! Me, Kathery, Kristine, Christine and another girl who works with Kathery who's name escapes me right now, went to Windward Mall to eat dinner, see a movie and shop for a bit. It was soooooooooo fun! I had Papa John's pizza pasta! It was okay... not the best... but I was sooo hungry! Then we went and saw "How to Train your Dragon" in 3D. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Good! I absolutely love it! It's funny, cute, has a good story and it's just a great movie! Plus, the soundtrack is to die for! Almost as good as Avatar! After the movie, we headed to Claire's where Kristine got her ears pierced!!!! I bought a lot cute earings! Krista would be proud! Plus, my flip flops broke a couple of nights before so I bought another pair. I love them.
For the majority of the break, I introduced Kathery to 24. We pretty much had a marathon! We stayed up really, really late watching it. Twice, I ended up sleeping over because I was to tired to walk back home at three in the morning! LoL
It was an amazing break! But now it's time to get to work and go to school! Fun!
