Hilo Trip with Steff.

 So I needed to go to Hilo to get some college stuff out of the way. I needed to hand in my application, some proof of residency and some other documents. This was the perfect time for a GET-A-WAY trip for Steff and I....plus, it was a perfect time to capture the breathtaking scenery along the way. Our trip ended up being pretty dang fun, as we took turns driving and blasted the music the whole way there and back...

Along the way, we saw amazing meadows and valleys.....well ok, maybe not meadows, but valleys for sure. And let me tell you, the were incredible. The fields were beautifully watered and spread apart, with the perfect shade of green and the precise amount of treas that scattered ideally. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of them.. and no, we did not stop to take the pictures (well once in the beginning). Instead, I took them as I drove. Yes, some might argue its a little dangerous driving 70mph on a windy road, but I can assure you, I took precautions and slowed when necessary...


Overall Id say I got some pretty decent pictures. And, both Steff and I are obviously safe and very much alive. Anyways, these are just a few of the piks I took (which is nearly 200 if you really want to know.)

 The sky was as if painted for me personally!!!! As Ive mentioned before, I LOVE CLOUDS

So after we get through with the college stuff (I have to add, I really loved this place, even though its old and a little scraggy. It seems perfect for me), we decided to explore town a little. Yes, Hilo isnt the most exciting place, if you come without having planned something already. But, as it was Steff and I who were embarked on this journey, we came up with the best thing anyone could think of. WE FOUND A McD's!!!!! Of coarse, finding it was no easy task. Somehow we both were overwhelmed by blondness, and got the directions confused on our phone Navigation's. (In our defense, however, we were on the phone with an important matter). Anyways, when we did finally order, you could have confused it to be a group of guys' order... each of us got three sandwich's, fries and Sundays....disgusting I know, BUT we were hungry, and we like McDs...

 Afterwards, we drove around for a little bit, trying to find something else we could do with the little time we had left. We somehow came across a HUGE Japanese garden! and this place was gorgeous!!! We walked the trail took some pictures here and there... About an hour into it, it started to sprinkle so we made our way back to our car and took off before the weather got ugly..

 

 Here's the funny story, tho. As we started out on our way home, it was already sprinkling and getting dark. And apparently, the rumors about Hilos FOG were true.. I was getting a little anxious even, since I dont normally drive through FOG this thick, ever. To top things off, there was construction ongoing for a straight 18 miles, gravel road on one way-lanes (that was our highway being expanded). So I was the snail at the beginning of the traffic, who was too worried and cautious to speed up...that meant going like thirty minutes on gravel road going 30mph. I felt bad for the honking cars behind me, but I wasnt about to place myself, and Steff, into danger because of peoples impatience. As soon as the two-way lanes hit, all the cars, and I mean, ALL, the cars passes us. I was so confused!!! How could all those people not be worried to drive through this thick FOG in the fast approaching night? Then Steff remembered a very important FACT about my car.. My window fogs up when theres moisture inside of my car-which meant double the amount of FOG inside my car, then there was outside! We turn on the de-fogger thingy, and sure enough, we can see clearly now, the rain had gone.... at the same second both of us look at each other and start bust laughing our stomachs to pain. All those poor impatient people behind us probably thought we were incompetent or something! Haha.. Anyways then we spend up and got home shortly after. The End.

Overall it was a pretty decent trip, and surprisingly, I really did enjoy Hilo. 

I love clouds!!!!!

I think im not goin to appologize any more for not being a good blogger. Im sure everyone noes already anyways.

But I did decide to blog about one of the most things I adhore in life and that is the ski-clouds in particular.

And here in Hawaii, we have amazing outlays of clouds so I just decided to share with you one of my favorite of Gods creation.

Fun on Mauna Kea!

I know I'm a little behind on the update, but I didn't have time to edit my pictures until now.

On Saturday, our wonderful friends gave us the opportunity to experience the tallest mountain in the world (6,ooo ft of it underwater). It was such an amazing trip!

It started with me, Steff, Sam and Joe picking up our friend James. Then we headed over to his friends house for the more suitable car for the journey. We all piled into the truck and went to gas up and stock up on munchies. Auntie Thelma made us DELICIOUS sandwiches so we only needed chips and such.

This took like three hours total, so, as you can imagine, we were all thrilled to finally be on our way.

The scenery was surreal: Beautiful green pastures, many combaya trees, wild animals running free (well not really free).... it was amazing. As we gained elevation, the warmth thinned, and soon enough, so did the air. When we were at the half way mark we all could feel it.
After that point, it was the obvious DANGER journey. The road was gravel, half of it was one laned, and very steep! AND SUUUPPPERRR high up. Yeah, I'll admit it- I WAS a little scared.
Anyways we got up all safe and sound. Then when we hopped out of the truck for a bathroom break, Steff and I nearly feel over because of how light headed we were. When I say the air was thin, I mean it! We felt HIGH literally!
Anyways after that it was all fun and all games. We sled on body boards (and walked slowly back up cuz we were always out-of-breath), ate and sled some more!

Here are some piks so you guys get the idea..

Well that's a little of our adventure. Sorry that the Piks are mostly grey scale, for some reason my computer doesn't allow me to use PICNIK so I had to use some nock-off, no offense to FOTOFLEXER..



Typical Night Shift?

So, as I was at work Sunday night, Chris (the bartender) walks up to me in the waiter station and tells me to go say hi to one of his buddies sitting at the bar (apparently he thought I was hot). Funny thing to know: Ten minutes before, another guy from the bar tried to make a move on me as I was seating costumers. As I walked past him, he leaned into me, slightly pushing me with his shoulder. Then we parted separate ways and he laughed it off, pretending I was trying to get away from him (which is partially true.)

Anyways, Chris exp lanes what his friend looks like and tells me he's sitting at the end of the bar.

Right. Black shirt. Black hat. End of bar.

So I approach and tap the guy who was trying to get at me earlier and see Chris In the back shaking his head and hands that that was the wrong guy......

THHHEEEENNNNN he points at the other end of the bar.

Of coarse. There had to be two guys with black shirts and hats on both ends of the bar. Anyways I come up to the right guy and chat for a sec. (Hate it when you get set up by people and cant really get out of a situation.) He tells me his name... I tell him mine, then I get back to work

Then he approaches my Hostess stand and small talks there as well. Obvious that he had a little too much to drink, since the cheesiest line he came up with was "So tell me a little more about yourself"......Good one....

Anyways we talk for a little and he asks me how old I was. 19.

"Really? You carry yourself a little older that that."

"How old'd you think I was"

"Like 21"

"mmmm....How old are you?"
"26......well anyways Ima get back to the bar"

Nice way of telling me Im young. Respect for the guy tho- I was actually surprised that he backed off right when he found out how young I was.

Anyways.....the piks were all taken off google... but the guy did somewhat look like the guy from my story. Oh and I obviously abbreviated the convos a little. That was just a little something that happens very often and so I decided to share this story with you guys.
