Ten Commandments.

Mysterg's Ten Commandments for a Happy New Year:

1.) Be True - Be the person you want to be and the person you are, not the person others want and/or expect you to be.
2.) Love yourself - If you can't love yourself how can anyone else be expected to love you and how can you love anyone else in return?
3.) Hope - A life without Hope is no life at all. Every cloud does have a silver lining if you look hard enough.
4.) Live the Dream - Anything is possible, even the impossible, so make it happen. Create your own fairytale ending. Live happily ever after.
5.) Choose the Road Not Taken - Embrace the unknown and make the right choices however difficult they might be. Who knows where it may lead...
6.) Learn something new everyday - Knowledge is power and there are so many mysteries in life to unlock with it.
7.) Believe in yourself - We all have something to give. Confidence breeds success. Success breeds more success.
8.) Respect others - Treat others the way you wish to be treated. Even if they don't deserve it or return the sentiments. You are the better person.
9.) Enjoy the Moment - Take each day as it comes. Live for today and not tomorrow. Don't waste any opportunity that comes to you. Have no regrets.
10.) Smile - Simply smile. Turn that frown upside down and see how much better you feel for it.

Blah, blah.

I hate when my boyfriend is bein' a lame-o! :(
Ahahaha, w/e. I'm just jealous he'd rather be with his friends tonight.

But on the other hand. I made up with Brandy-Lee tonight. I missed her ohhhh so much. I love you missssay! :D

I had a good day. I spent most of it with the Badayos'. They're the sh*t, no one can compete. Haha. Seriously though. It was a good day. I had lots and lots of fun.

And this youngin' right here is RayRay, Britt's nephew. We have a love/hate relationship. He hates me sometimes but backkk in the days he use to tell Britt I was his "girlfriend". Haha. Tonight he kept kissin' my cheek, and Brandy told him he was a home wrecker. Ahahha, I love her. <3

Makin' Bank.

I've been workin' a lot so sorry if you've felt neglected blog followers. (;

Anyways, works hectic. Seriously hate doing it but I love it when I get my money. Best feeling in the world is knowing you have the money to buy and or do whatever it is my little heart desires. (: Ahahaha, I'm such a weirdo. Ooooooh, wanna hear something really cool? Well I'm gonna tell you whether you like it or not. So on Sunday night when I worked a wedding with Aloha Catering (or w/e its called) I didn't break any dishes! NEW RECORD...I think yes! (: I was super proud. Its really hard not to break dishes, everyone does it...but I didn't. Special mucho? Of 'course! (;

Other then that not much is going on. Everything's pretty normal. Schools approaching a little to quickly for my liking but hey the faster it comes the faster it goes, right? RIGHT!

I'm at work so I should probably end this one a lil short. Hope everyone's havin' a nice break. (:

Sea Cucumber

Today was fun, I missed my best friend and her family. It's been awhile. Its always fun to be around these crazy people. First time in forevers that I've been to the Kihei Pool. You know, you gotta miss that place once in a while. Tons of memories from when I was a youngin'.

Anyyways, we went to Laparouse (spelling?) out in Makena. I realized I rarely go there with anyone besides them. Its always interesting, water looked cold so instead we just poked around some tide pools and played with sea cucumbers.

So yeah, my day was pretty good. Tomorrow I gotta work and that should be a party all on its own. I actually love working weddings, they're so much fun. The people I work with are crazy and totally entertaining. The only thing that sucks is cutting yourself. Which I tend to do a lot. Well we'll see how it goes. - Shooties!

Sugar Plum Fairy

Oh my love, Christmas was quite amazing. A lot went down and I had a very sweet time even when I didn't expect to. The best Christmas present I could've asked for...my family being back together. After months, and months of drama. I'm just glad everything I did got forgiven and that everyone's cool with me again. Seriously, no amount of presents or money could've topped the feeling you get when you've been forgiven and you don't feel like you've gotta hide from people anymore.

On the other hand, I got to meet some cool kiddos yesterday, although the youngest one was quite annoying. It was understandable since I'm sure I was a pretty annoying kid myself. Oh well, he's forgiven as well. ;D I had a good time during the day with my friends. I even got this book "50 Things That Really Matter." I may read that soon, new perspective? We'll see.

I got some other sweet stuff as well. I mean what's Christmas w/o the presents, right? (; But seriously, the Christmas spirit I wasn't feelin' hit me last night. I really missed my cousins. It was so funny, my littlest cousin would not leave me alone last night. She missed me too. <3

I love this little girl more then life itself! <3

Hopefully all you had a great Christmas as well. Great ready for the new year, 'cause it shall be bombin'! I know I'm excited! :DDD

"BF"s Aren't Just For Boats

You know he's scared that i might kill him one day.

I suppose his fear is not unfounded. I want to strangle him.

-- My best friend is the coolest person in the WHOLE entire world. No contest!

Less Then Insignificant

I am a horrible over-reactor, I overreact towards everything and everything. I think I should make that a New Year's resolution. To work on my overreactingness? LOL, I totally know that's not a word how else would you put it? Anyways, in all this blah, blahing I'm just pretty much saying that every time something happens or someone says something I think I'm taking it way to seriously and freaking out before I know everything. Take tonight for example, one simple sentence a certain someone said had me complaining in confusion to Britt for 15 minutes (at least). When in the end she decided that I probably took it wrong and was making it out to be bigger then it was. On that note lets hope that I was overreacting. Otherwise this Christmas will SUCK even more then I already planned on.

Simple Nothings

Pen to paper
But the words won't flow
Sporadic thoughts won't connect
Nothing to write, so I'll write about nothing
It all seems so useless
A big waste of time
But there's nothing good on TV
So I tried to write a rhyme
Doodling stars to the side
Wanting to find some better use of my time
But nope, this is it
And yes, I'm bored out of my mind!

The Shelf

He can write beautiful songs
That I'll play on repeat all night long
He can say the sweetest things
Every word makin' me grin
He can be sweet and loving
And make me feel something so unreal

But lately that's not the boy he's being
He's turning into something he shouldn't be
Couldn't be, wouldn't be?

Who knows why, who knows how
I wish I could explain to him
All the little things I miss
I couldn't even begin.

Baby you've literally got me trippin'
My heads spinnin', my stomachs flippin'
I don't know what to do
Or what to say
I just miss the boy I fell in love with that one summer day.


"I know how you feel, this world can get so real... So much to decide you're thinkin' about suicide but if you go that far, you'll never reach your star." - B.D.

Mommy Dearest.

My boyfriends mom keeps calling me (in school, Founder's Day, whenever she feels like pretty much). Its getting really annoying. NO, lady, I do not want to remind your son, to do this or that. You're the mom, you can act like it.

Blahhhh, blahh. I'm just a complainer. I really don't mind...that much. Shes done a lot for me in the past couple weeks.

On the other hand today was the first time I ever ate at Hali'imaile General Store. It's the best. GO THERE and order the chocolate cake! Fat kids FTW! (;
Me, Brittney & my Aunty Erin went after my last Founder's Day. Whatttaday? (:

Now I'm off to practice, hellogoodbye. (:
Races tomorrow in Lahaina. Be there or be...well not there. (;
Lalaloveeee, Ka'u.

Final Sminal.

UGHHHH, I hate finals. I put my Global Studies one off to the side and now I'm gonna suffer for it. /: I lost the stupid study guide and everyone in my class is sleeping...like normal people. This shall be another long (unaccomplished) night. I'll fail, I know it. Mossman's normal tests are killers. OHHHboy. :( Not looking forward to 2nd block!

On the plus side, I got to go eat dinner with my faveeee Aunty. Erin. (: She rockkks, I had a lot of catching up to do.

On the other plus side, Bretts backkk! :D Third blockkk was the happiest moment all day! NO DOUBT. I was bummed when he called & canceled our plans for today but hey, as long as he's back I'm HAPPY! :DDD Also, his friends are really weird and have asked me to send a shout out to all my singular friends. I'm not actually gonna do it but I thought I'd post it for laughs. Haha, I know it wasn't funny. W/E. I'm tired.

NIGHT, if you're still out there!

A not so rant.

Sorry this is just an appology for all the blog ranting I've been doing lately. Back to the good stuff. Hope you missed me. ;D

Butterflies

Butterflies, the worst I've ever had them. I can't believe it this time. Or maybe I shouldn't be so surprised anymore. I just want him to come back.

Tie me down.

"Like I mean, shit I'm only seventeen and a perfect couple is only in a dream."

Its my latest harsh reality. Thanks New Boyz.

I miss my boyfriend, a lot!

"People need and crave validation and positive feedback." - TWIF

TWIF as my Global Studies class now refers to it, is how I will begin to refer to it on my blog since I have mentioned quite a few times. Just in case, the book I am refering to is "The World Is Flat" by Thomas L. Freidman.

Validation is a noun which means the process associated with the collection and production of intelligence that confirms that an intelligence. Lately a lot of the quotes in TWIF are validating the things that I feel. Like the fact that I crave attention and lots of it. Not only to I crave attention I crave positive feedback, including on my blog. I love to be recognized for my good work, especially in certain classes. *Caugh, caugh* Global Studies. (; I think it actually really annoys me when I do something good and no ones says anything. Since I'm on the topic of being unvalidated let's talk about paddling.

Lately I've been craving some attention from coach. I've been working hard, I've got my technique down pretty good, and I've been pushing...hard. I get really pissed when coach puts certain people (not to mention names) in a seat before me, or in a seat I'd rather be in. I know coach probably knows better then I do, but sometimes it seems like he doesn't notice when certain people aren't doing ANYTHING!

P.S. I hate MATHO!

California Dreamin'

"When memories exceed dreams, the end is near." - "The World is Flat" - Thomas Friendman

I'm done sitting back and reminicing, its doing nothing for me. Its holding me back as a matter of fact. I realized after reading this line in Mr. Friedman's book "The World is Flat" that I named my blog very appropriately. I didn't even think about it at the time, it just seemed like a nice name for a blog. I'm stepping up to the plate and looking for the next ball for me to hit, the next base for me to steal. I'm no longer looking back at old games and nit picking about what I did wrong, what you did wrong. I'm done living in the past.

Ding dong the witch is dead.

Or so I thought. Today was semi-productive and I really enjoyed it.

1st Block: HPU admissions meeting. I met with the admissions woman, it was kind of weird since I had no idea what to say, but hey in the end I left with an acceptance and scholarship. So YAY me! Congrats to all the other acceptances, like Erika, U'i, Breanna! Way to go guys!

2nd Block: One of my favorite classes, Global Studies, it makes me feel so smart to be informed about the world. I can have intelligent discussions with a lot of people about diverse things now, especially Ms. Sone. (:

3rd Block: I usually don't get anything done in Human Development but today I worked hard. I wish I hadn't slacked off so much, I really do like that class (well a little). Hopefully I do good on the final project. Oh, and Ms. Sone and I had one of our infamous intelligent discussions about Thomas Friedman, "The World is Flat", the middle east and China. Haha. (:

Lunch: The poetry slam was really, really good. I enjoyed a lot of the poems. They were very eclectic writing wise and speaking wise. Good job to all who participated! :D Special shout outs to Brittney, Moku, Kama and Harmony! GREAT JOB! :D

4th Block: Turned in my Ho'ike Nui CD and did the survey. OFFICIALLY COMPLETED! :D That was a big stress off my shoulder. I did some college searching and hopefully I'm heading in the right track!

Practice: I worked really hard and I was really proud of everyone in my boat. We pushed ourselves for another good day of practice. It sucks that I didn't run, I feel lame, like I should be running even if my ankle is hurt. I think i'll jog a little extra tomorrow.

When I got home I had a very, very productive talk with my grandparents but that is another post to be blogged about.

P.S. Gabe has informed me that the world is being horrible to him lately and would like me to send it this message: "F*ckkk you" You're welcome Gabe G. (:

Wish me luckkk,

I'm about to embark on a new journey...to go meet the HPU counselor and see if I got accepted. :DDDD


** Update: I got accepted!

10/6

Mad Hatter: Ah thank goodness! Those are the things that upset me!
March Hare: See all the trouble you started?
Alice: But I didn't think...
March Hare: Ah, that's just it. If you don't think, then you shouldn't talk.
- from Lewis Carrols "Alice in Wonderland"

Alice in Wonderland, if you've ever watched this movie you'll know what i'm talking about when I say it is really trippy. The author, Mr. Lewis Carrol seems like he was doing some kind of crazy drug when he wrote this. I've been required to write and share a poem for one of my classes and I was kind of hoping for some inspiration from this movie.
Thanks to the gift that is Google I looked up some quotes. The one I wrote at the top of this post is my favorite, because honestly its how I feel. I'm not saying I also think before I open my mouth, because I knwo I don't but I'm working on it. If you read all my blog posts you've probably noticed I've been enjoying watching funny shows (including South Park) and finding the deeper meanings within them, or noticing the morals that they're trying to push in a funnier way. Reading these quotes makes me want to go watch Alice in Wonderland, it seems I've missed so much of the point because I'm stuck on watching the "trippyness" of it instead of paying attention to the deeper meandings. I probably will go watch it tonight!

All or nothing

Who knew that South Park would inspire me...seriously.
Tonight I watched an episode of South Park where that Jew kids dad was trying to quit drinking, the Jew kid whose name eludes me pretty much told his dad that willpower is showing strength and that going all or nothing is being weak. If you do to much of something you love (the all part) then you let that thing take over your life, like an alcoholic. If you have to completely avoid doing something you love(the nothing part) then you've still let it take over your life. WILLPOWER is key.

*I later looked it up, he's Kyle. (:

Aurrrrite! (:

Today I found out that I passed my Ho'ike Nui! :DDD I was never so happy to see Mr. C in my life! I'm really excited because I was nervous, my computer broke and I got scared and started stumbling over everything I had to say. My presentation was really bad, I'm surprised I passed. But hey, I guess I'm lucky I had a pretty cruise panel! (:
Pauahi would be proud. (;

Can you see me know?

You may recognize the title of this as a play on words from the old Verizon commercials. Although this post isn't about cell phones the title is quite appropriate. Social networking is a place to be seen and heard by many people all at once. Social networking on sites like facebook and blogger are just ways to get people to hear or read what you have to say. Just like this post, I want someone to read what I have to say about social networking so I'm writing this and then I'll post it on my blogger. Maybe someone will read it and maybe someone won't but the whole point of social networking is that I have the ability to put anything I want out there, including this. Well now that I established what I believe is the point to social networking here's the point of this blog.

There are many things that some people do on social networking sites that I now consider my pet peeves:

1. Posting a new status every 5 minutes - If you really have a need to post a new status every 5 minutes maybe you're sharing to much of your life.

2. Talking sh*t about other people - Pretty self explanatory but its mostly annoying if you post something about someone and you don't have them as a friend (or follower) and they can't see it. If you've got nothing nice to say you better step up and say it to there face.

3. Calling people out or starting drama - Drama anywhere is unnecessary and starting it over the Internet is silly. If you've really got an issue with someone its best to get off the computer and get face-to-face.

4. Using it as a shield - Acting tuff, talking about people or saying certain things on the Internet and not to someones face is not cool. It is not tuff, as a matter of fact it makes you look weaker, afraid, and immature. People need to deal with their problems the correct way and that does not involve the Internet.

What does that say?

Alright, so lets start by saying math is not my favorite subject, as a matter of fact its my worse. So today when of course I didn't have my homework done (which practically no one did in my class), I was sitting there actually attempting to do it (with Chaysen's help of course) when my lovely teacher comes by me and attempts to "help." She totally fuckkin' treats me like i'm dumb and is talking as slowly as possible, talking me through all these stupid steps of things I already did! Seriously, I can't stand teachers who treat you like your dumb. You're job is to teach me how to do things, not make me feel inadequate and not wanna do your dumb homework anymore.

New Beginnings

So its 10 minutes before class ends and I just started this blog. I'm not much of a blogger but I love to write. My MySpace blog has random poems, songs and things I spit out on there. We'll see how this goes.

Oh and thanks to Rachel and Dawn for the inspiration to start this blog. (:
