8/24/13 - Watching Serenity on Netflix and doing some research to build a timeline of important events  for my family history timelines.

8/25/13 - I multi-task ALL the time.  Watching some creativeLIVE and working on family history.

8/26/13 - A gorgeous day on campus.  Love the sun rays!

8/27/13 - Making the handout for our presentation in my Aging class.  We're going to have the best handout!  Not that it's a competition.

8/28/13 - I had a whim to make a family history tree using wordart.  This tree is six-generations.  It took me all night, good thing I had no homework.

8/29/13 - I turned in my application for graduation today.  CRAZY!!!

8/30/13 - Got to enjoy the beauty of Kawala Bay.  Seriously it was like having the place to ourselves.  And the water is so calm here.  Love this place!

365 Challenge - Week 19

8/17/13 - We decided to have dinner at Ted's Bakery at Sunset Beach tonight. Yep I added my sticker from my cake to the collection of stickers.

8/18/13 - Pulled out the markers because it's an art night tonight!

8/19/13 - Have I mentioned how much I LOVE creativeLIVE?  Well I do!  I just enrolled in a lot of classes and some of them overlap each other.  I need to figure out what I'm going to do.  (UPDATE: It took some work but I was able to watch most of the classes I wanted.)

8/20/13 - We did some beauty shots at the beach today.  I have some great friends that don't mind modeling for me when I want to experiment.  My first time doing beauty shots. 

8/21/13 - Working on editing Noelle's photos from the beauty shot photo shoot.

8/22/13 - I turned in my journal early which means I can now get online!  I was expecting my notifications to be larger, but I found out they only store a week or two notifications.  At least it's not overwhelming my first day back online.

8/23/13 - Working on editing Mako's photos from our beauty photo shoot the other day.

365 Challenge - Week 18

8/10/13 - Studying for my Substance Abuse and I come across this case when a narcotic gas was used in hostage situation.  119 of the hostages died of an overdose.  Why would you use a narcotic gas?

8/11/13 - 2 of my roomies were watching North and South and it brought back memories.  I wanted to watch it too.  So I popped it in and watch the last ten minutes because they have an amazing ending.

8/12/13 - I have a great view from my office.

8/13/13 - Take-away dinner tonight.  I love Seven Brothers.  So yummy!

8/14/13 - We discovered a baby gecko on our windshield.  Luckily we weren't going very far we kept saying "Hold on little guy, we're almost there."

8/15/13 - Cap'n Crunch was on sale!!!!

8/16/13 - It was a mud mask type of night.

365 Challenge - Week 17

8/3/13 - Our "let's get out of Laie" trip to Lanikai Beach.  It was a gorgeous day and so much fun!

8/5/13 - Another photo shoot at Hukilau Beach.   I saw this wee bit of a rainbow.  

8/6/13 - Editing the photos from yesterday's photo shoot of my friend's boys.  I just love her family.  She's an amazing mom and they're so adorable.

8/8/13 - My friend Noelle and I are getting up early and walking the bike path (3 miles round trip) before classes.  We have to get up super early for this to happen.... we'll see how long it lasts.  Hopefully for awhile...?  (UPDATE:  It only lasted a week.)

8/9/13 - My favorite type of popcorn.  It's a mixture of kettle corn and butter.  So delicious!

365 Challenge - Week 16

7/27/13 - Roomie fun time!  Silvia's friend Laura was visiting so we went to town (aka Waikiki) to eat at The Cheesecake Factory.  Thinking of this night makes me want to eat there again.  Yummy!

7/28/13 - Such a beautiful day.  You'd never guess that we're under a Tropical Storm Warning.  Flossie was a coming!

7/29/13 - Flosise is coming which means we need to get supplies.  Last minute trip to the one and only grocery store in my small town.

7/30/13 - Initiation Ceremony for Phi Kappa Phi.  I was invited to join this Honor Society.  I think it's pretty cool.  Great for the 'after college' resume, right?

7/31/13 - Since I'm going through my 'to edit' folder due to the whole "no internet" I came upon this gem.  LOL  Those were some massive waves.  That's my brother's head just barely making it over the crest in the upper right corner.

8/1/13 - Silvia taught me a new technique for a bracelet.  It's pretty cool!  Yes, I make friendship bracelets for myself.  I like to not think that's sad, but think I'm in a healthy place and I like myself.  Just saying.

8/2/13 - Photo shoot at Hukilau Beach!  Gabby's uncle is starting a campaign for the sea, so we took some photos that he could use.  If I could remember his website I would link it... but I don't.

365 Challenge - Week 15

Post 1 of getting caught up on the 365 challenge:

7/20/13 - Today was a sit down and study day.  I know!  On a Saturday.  But you gotta do what you gotta do.

7/21/13 - Just doing some doodles today.

7/22/13 - There's no internet so I must do something.  I had a folder full of videos that have patiently been waiting to be turned into little movies.  Yep I started those.

7/23/13 - First day I get to use my new Flash Drive!  Yes, I'm a geek.

7/24/13 - Love my duck colored shoes.  When I bought them the whole "duck colors" didn't register.  That register when I saw them on my feet.

7/25/13 - FINALLY working on the zip line video of my sister and her fam.

7/26/13 - A nice day for a tutoring session with my friend.

I've been a little AWOL over here....

My 'no internet' assignment went well.  I did lapse a few times but then I spilled my guts in the journal that we needed to keep.  (It made me feel like Chunk from The Goonies.  "This one time....")  I've been back on the internet since the end of August and I haven't blogged or played Candy Crush.  I'm going to change the whole blogging part.

I've stil been doing my photo a day but I don't want to do them all in one post.  I think I'll spread them over several days.

I've been catching some amazing workshops over at creativeLIVE.  Just finished a super cool workshop with Sue Bryce and Lara Jade on experimental photography.  My creative juices are flowing!  I have a few photo shoots planned to play around with.

On Friday I watched a traditional Hawaiian ceremony welcoming the crew of the Hōkūleʻa at Hukilau Beach.  It was super cool.  I'm happy with some of the shots that I got.  Here's a quick collage of my photos and the essence of the ceremony.

School Assignment

Reminder: I'm currently offline due to a school assignment.  This will be completed at the end of the term, which is 8-30-13.

365 Challenge - Week 14

7/13/13 - Watched the Tahitian Dance Fete.  The little kids competing were so cute!  It was a great day at the PCC.

7/14/13 - I love riding my bike around.  You'd never guess that this bike isn't even a year old, huh?  That's what happens when you have to leave it to the elements of Hawaii.

7/15/13 - First day of school!  And first day of my new routine (with food and exercise).  I'm being a good student and doing my reading.

7/16/13 - I decided I wanted to feel like a girl and do a pedicure / manicure.  Yay for bright blue and pink nail polish!

7/17/13 - I love walking past the temple at night.  It's so beautiful!

7/18/13 - I decided to make a bracelet.  My other bracelets that I made have fallen off.

7/19/13 - Work has been so slow this week.  (first week of school... go figure, right?)  But I'm now getting tutoring appointments!  Yay tutoring!
