Taking Life As It Goes...

Well, I haven't been around for a while. And while I hate making excuses for myself, my reasons are quite understandable. I feel that, recently, my life has been a roller coaster full of ups and downs and every single turn. My life has been mostly a series of downs, but I have hope that soon I'll be up again. So, my uncle and his family moved back in. Which means that my quiet days have now been disrupted. Anyone who knows me knows that I cannot stand this particular part of my family. If you read any of my other blogs, you'll know why, but I don't want that kind of negativity on my blog. Just know that I don't like them and I think that they are irresponsible and bad parents. I have my reasons but I'll keep that a little more personal, I suppose. It's hard having them back because I am not able to focus on homework as much anymore. They have kids who are all very loud, don't listen, just plain ol' naughty. And they make it hard to concentrate. I also feel bad for my dogs because I have to keep them locked up inside my room because the kids and even my uncle aren't very nice to them. I find solace in the fact that I've been called to sub more often! I love working and I love being in the classroom again. It really makes me miss my big island students and the Keaukaha Kru, but I'm just thankful that I am able to have a good paying job and stuff. I also find solace in the fact that in approximately 24 days we will be leaving for our vacation! We're going to Florida for 1.5 weeks, that includes a cruise, and then Las Vegas. It's my first time going to either place so I'm super excited! That's pretty much all that's keeping me sane. I keep praying that things will turn around for me soon, and I know that it will in Heavenly Father's time, but in my perspective it's just taking forever! So pray for me, haha! Pray that I will build patience as I go along. I know that this trial in this time of my life is really just a test and I'm going to try and get an A, plus! XOXO -T-

Things That Turn My Smile Into A Frown...

{one} dirty feet--

I freakin' hate dirty feet so bad! Like, I can't even explain it. the floors in my house are kind of dirty all the time because my puppy likes to pull the hair out of my big dog, so his hair is always on the ground. Anyway, I just really hate dirty feet more than most things. When my feet are clean but my hair is not washed and starting to dread, small kine little bit, I'm ok. But if my hair is nice and clean and shiny, but my feet are dirty, then I feel dirty.

{two} fake people--

I don't know. I just don't think that there is ever any reason to be fake. I mean, I guess I understand why people would do that. I like to be accepted just as much as the next person, but I think that if people are going to accept me, they should accept me for the good and the bad. They should realize that I'm not perfect, but I'm funny and nice and I can be the best listener in the world.

{three} goodbyes

that is self explanatory.

{four} the fact that my uncle, aunty and cousins are moving back in.

I can't stand them. So this, too, is explanatory.

{five} the fact that no one likes me right now

Well, I mean they do. But the boys that I like don't ever seem to like me. For once in my life, I would like something to go my way. I want a boy to like me just as much as I like him. Like, through my entire life, there have been boys that like me that I don't like until after I like them. And I now realize that it has all been pity. Next time, I want to date someone who likes me just as much as I like him.

{six} facebook

IDK, I just don't really like Facebook all that much.

xoxo,

The Weekend of Bieber Hunting, Letters, and the Walk of Shame

As you may be able to tell simply by the title alone, I've had a wonderfully epic weekend. And I'm going to break said weekend down into three simple and easy to read parts: Bieber Hunting, Letters and the Walk of Shame. I wasn't able to blog during the actual weekend because, well, it was just too epic. I was busy living the moment, but not here we go on a journey through my weekend.

The day of my Justin Bieber concert.To be completely honest, when we bought the tickets, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to go. I thought he was ok, but I didn't really like him. Like most Jonas fans, I found Justin annoying and I hated the fact that the Jonas Brothers and Justin Bieber shared the same initials. I didn't like how he sang "I'mma tell you one time" and he repeated the line over and over, thus defeating the purpose of saying it when obviously he told me more than one time. But, that all changed during my night.

Me, Syd and Lacey got there early to try and win VIP tickets, of course, there are people crazier than we are, so we didn't win. But that's cool. We were one of the first people into the Arena because we got a choice spot in line and we just cruised and danced until Jasmine Villegas came on. And let me tell you, Jasmine was good. I honestly think that she and Justin make an adorable couple.

Then when Jusitn came on, I just about died. I didn't take a lot of good quality pictures since we were sitting so far away, but I did get a lot of videos, which I haven't uploaded yet, so I can't post as of right now, but I will later. And when he brought Jaden Smith out on stage, well, I really could have died. But really, Justin was so good. He's really cute, he's a good dancer and he's a good live performer. I'd probably have a huge crush on him if he wasn't the same age as my brother :P

After the concert, we were gonna go to Zbar for the after party, but yeah. The girls I was with aren't 18 yet, so we walked around Waikiki.

Saturday, Oct. 9, 2010

Stayed in Waikiki for a bit trying to find Justin, which didn't really work out for us 'cause kid is a good hider.

Went home to two letters from my favorite people--Missionaries! Both of whom are my closest friends, one however, I'm convinced is my future husband. Seriously. Elder K is serving in Nevada Las Vegas West Mission and Elder G is serving in the Japan Nagoya mission. I hadn't received a letter from Elder G in a very, very long time so it was really nice and exciting to hear from him. It really brightened my day.

Later that night, I went to my friends house and cruised until like 3am. Then fell asleep on his couch with a bunch of other people. We watched the movie The Stepfather with Penn Badgley. It was actually really good. But I can't see him as anything other than Dan Humphrey, you know?

Woke up at 6 to go home and change for church...

Sunday, Oct. 10, 2010

Me, Abraham and Kaulana went to the Mililani Singles Branch. We don't have a Singles Branch in our stake yet, but we definitely need it! Apparently, we are getting one next month though, so that's super exciting.

It was fun. There was a cute white boy there but he didn't talk to me :)

After we went back to Kaulana's and attempted to watch Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. But I fell asleep. And stayed asleep. Then we woke up and ate and watched a bunch of random movies and TV shows. Then I went home.

Today, Oct.11, 2010

I went in to the pre-school where I'm supposed to be subbing at to figure out why I wasn't on the sub list and all that good stuff. But, as soon as I went in, the lady that's in charge of all that stuff asked me to sub. So, I worked in a 3 year old class during regular day, from about 9 til 2. Then I worked in extended day from 2 til 4:30. Tomorrow, I work extended day from 6:45-8:45 am then from 2:00-5:30pm. On Wednesday, I work extended day from 6:45-8:45am and then from 11:30-5:30pm. I'm really excited because I actually really love working and being around the kids, plus the class seems so chill and different from when I was working as a full time extended day aide. And plus, we really need the money right now, so it's good to have some kind of income. I just need to remember to thank my Heavenly Father and to pay my tithing.

Anyway, I'm tired, I had a long day and I need to get up early tomorrow, so good night and I will talk to you all soon!

Just Along for the Ride, or Something Like That...

I don't really know how to start this thing, so I'm just going to start with a Hello! Welcome to my brand, spankin' new blog. OK, everyone clap for me now. *waiting*

Thank you, Thank you!

Anyways, I've tried starting blogs before, buuuutttt, it was obviously unsuccessful. I also have a tumblr which is a blogging site, but I kind of wanted to keep my long winded and inspirational (hey, don't put me down there!) blogs and rants separate from my tumblr. While it is a blogging site, it's more of a media type blog rather than a blog where I can share my thoughts and feelings through writing. Which is why I decided to start this blog.

Don't get me wrong though, I love multi-media blogging. And I won't be boring you all with purely text posts. This will be a mixed media blog. I'll share some photography (I just got a new camera which I am super excited to try out). I'll also post some vlogs. And of course, I will be sharing my writings with you all. And I promise that I will TR

Y to keep up with this one.

Hopefully, this will be the last blog that I create ever. And you know, I'll like use it through my mission, marriage and motherhood :). LOL, we'll see about th

at one though.

Anyway, welcome to the blog. I'm Tasia and I hope that you enjoy whatever this crazy world throws at me as much as I do. And don't worry, I'll do an official "introducing me" post later, and you bet Nick Jonas is gonna be a part of that.

(If you got that, I'm going to assume that you watched Camp Rock 2. 'Cause I didn't :P)

Well, until next post!

Keep Living, In Real Life,
