Meeting Johnny Depp

Image
Yes, the highlight of my weekend was meeting Tautai's real father, Johnny Depp himself; Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz and gang are filming at Heeia Harbor, about a 25minute drive from where we live. I had plans with the girls to go see Johnny before he leaves for LA. They've been in Hawaii for about a month or so and we still never made it. Firstly, I was debating if it's worth it, given the amount of crazy fans Johnny has on this tiny island. So on Saturday, (the last day of filming) the girls and I decided to take our lazy butts out of bed, get ready and ride on down to see Mr Depp in person. It is now one of my most treasured memories, locked away in my brain. Johnny is "THE MAN". Such a down to earth guy who took his time with each of his fans especially the children. He kissed my bubba on the forehead while he was fast asleep in his stroller. I swear if he could reach every child who was there, I'm sure he'd shake all their hands and give them hugs and ...

starting again....

yes...AGAIN.. So after a month of resting from the exercise routines (though I wouldn't call it resting, I'd call it, "being distracted ) I'm back at 'IT' and decided to go full speed last night. haha. Ever heard of 'fiapoko'? lol My lawd, I was literally hanging. Seriously, I got lightheaded 30minutes into the class, so I had no choice but to sit my ass down and watch all the other desperate housewives work their tush's off. So I spent the next 15minutes drinking, breathing and trying to calm myself down as I could feel the blood rushing through my head..eerrr..no good.. NOTE to SELF : start out SLOW. take it ONE day at a time, baby steps.. I'm glad I'm back. OUR trainer said we have to do something 6days a week, So i have to work that into my work, baby and family schedules. OI LEI. I wish I had a live in SITTER, and I wish i didnt have to work..aahhhhhh..dream so'o dream so'o. bhahaha on a brighter note, I kept off the 10lbs I lo...

"Jen's Hawaii Bucket List"

On my first YEAR here in Hawaii, I made a "Bucket List", and called it "JEN's HAWAII BUCKET LIST". It's not a list of things I want to do before I kick the bucket, It's a list of things I want to do before I leave Hawaii. 7 years later, I'm still NOT EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH this bucket list. So I am making it a goal to have everything on this list checked/DONE by the end of NEXT YEAR for sure. "JEN's HAWAII BUCKET LIST " consists of the following • Hike diamond head • Hike coco head • Hike stairway to heaven • Go to a shooting Range and shoot some ass..lol • Visit Dole Plantation • Go camping • Watch the sunset at sunset beach • Visit bishop museum • Visit waimea Valley- done • Visit Hanauma Bay • Go to the Honolulu ZOO • Pali Lookout – done • Parasailing – done • Sea life park – done • Jet skiing – done • Dinner cruise – done • Dinner cruise as a family • SKY DIVING • Run the GREAT ALOHA RUN • Drive on a driving range

I need another vacation

Since baby and I arrived from our 10day get away to Samunda, we've been playing hosts to some of Sam's family. It was good to have them around, BUT, there was NO room for me to do P90 or time to get away to exercise class, hence, me feeling like a big fat heffer. Yesterday, they ALL left and I regained my sanity shortly after cleaning up(i think). So I took down my calendar and planned for this whole month. (work schedule, exercise schedule, baby schedule, husband schedule, anything except for school schedule) Yes, Brings me to talk about school. Last month, I enrolled for the next 8weeks of classes started June 12, unfortunately, with all the families coming in and out, the unrealistic demands from work, deadlines, family committments with a baby in tow, I felt like school needs to be put on hold. As much as I'd love to get this MBA over and done with, I felt I needed to take care of myself first or I'll be joining Etuale and the gang soon enuff on the streets. So sad ...

much needed update

4:07pm, Power just came back on. ASB made us sit around in the branch without electricity for an hour. How nice, blardy jerks So because I’m literally nodding off on my desk (because I don’t want to deal with all this mess that is my work), I decided to update this here blog before I don’t update it at all. Tautai Luke’s first trip to Samoa: Apart from the hiccups at check in, the trip was fabulous. Families and friends spoiled the lil rascal from day one til the day we left. He enjoyed himself soaking in all the attention especially the many taxi’s who wouldn’t put him down. Tai loved being home with my mom, my sisters, my crazy girlfriends especially his Great-Ma-ma. He enjoyed playing with my his Great-Ma-ma’s wheelchair and slaps the poor lady on the thigh and pulls her toes if she’s not paying attention. I’m glad we took this trip. It really did lighten up the room for my poor mom who’s not very well for a while now. Tai loved hanging out with his Grandmother and surely hasn’t for...
