Dads and shoe shopping

First, I love my Grandma. Love love love.

My dad needed new black, stylish coaching shoes. I took him to Macy's. As I went straight to the sleek, leather shoes, he went for the boots. Boots? Anyways, I picked a few pairs for him to try on while he joked with the young funny salesperson lady, whom was probably younger than me. She kept up with my dad's sense of humor and gave him brown argyle socks to try on with his black shoes and khaki cargo shorts. Dad had a good time teasing her and making trouble. Dad would talk to other shoppers, "Don't look at my socks! Do you like these shoes on me?" One lady stopped and examined his feet and agreed they looked nice on him. Finally, after him acting out a basketball play and shooting a few to make sure he was comfortable, I made his decision for him. He was happy. So was I. Then we walked by a little girl maybe 1 or 2 years old. She waved at Dad and he made cute baby faces and noises in the middle of the perfume isle of Macy's. After we passed the cute girl, he ran back to her and handed her money. I'm pretty sure it was a 20 cus that's all he had. The mom looked so confused and just laughed while her baby girl took 20 bucks from an old Hawaiian man.

I love my Dad. Love love love.

i live for summer

school started today for the kiddies, so i feel like summer has officially ended. but really, not for me...the cool thing about living here is that any day can be a summer day. there's no rush to do this or go there today, because tomorrow is just as perfect. anyways, hope your summer has been enjoyable.

it's weird how my iphone has changed life. everything is accessible all the time. i can take pictures of anything and share it anywhere and make my life awkwardly public. i don't know why - it's like an outer world of people who like people and want to know about strange people.

my life isn't strange, though. it's cool.

snapshots of summer. lots of beach and lots of kids and lots of sunsets.

all of the lights

beautiful fish

my oscar is beautiful. even with his underbite, his grumpy attitude and bullying. i took pics of my fish today and here's a little preview.. say hello to Oscar.

ps. I'm not sure where that battle scar on his nose came from but it makes him look fierce right?

popular hawaii eating joints

KUA 'AINA BURGER - Haleiwa, Hawaii

the avocado burger is bomb. i also like to get the teriyaki chicken with avocado.

oh yes. it's everything you've dreamed of in a burger. messy and hard to put down. get fries. ps. it's pricey.

BOOTS & KIMO'S - Kailua, Hawaii

famous for their macadamia nut pancake sauce. YES. this is why there's a line waiting by their doors at 8am. it's my fav breakfast place i've eaten ever.

i try to go every time i pick someone up from the airport early morning. lol i mean, look how happy we are.

greys anatomy

who's with me? i've seen every episode. ha.

all the characters make me laugh and the actors do such a great job.

i found pictures of "the girls", christina and meredith.

i LOVE so much sandra oh's dress here!! stunning. i want one.

i always think ellen pompeo, or meredith, has terrible hair in grey's. it's usually a mess. haha

but i found a picture of her great hair that i love. she's beautiful.

this is my friend from Japan. her name is Mihoko

the sun is my friend too.

hula hoop is my new interest.

i think it's really funny how people look when they hula hoop. i think it would be awesome to collect clips of people hula hooping...but first, let me show you how cool my nephew is. he just learned one day, already attempting fancy tricks, and told me "put me on youtube!" so here it is...

dance to laugh at myself

it just relieves stress and gives me something to laugh at myself about. i think that's what we need in our lives. something that makes us happy because we can laugh at ourselves. its like being a free spirit.

i don't know what love is

maybe something like that?
