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.
