Nice to Meet Ya!

I don't usually do Monday link-ups, but I found a new one, so let's try it out!

1.  Did you watch the Superbowl?

No, I did not! I love sports (especially football) but I have a hard time getting into pro football when I don't know who is playing/it's not my team. (for the record, I'm a RAIDERS fan). Plus, my ward doesn't start until 1 and Superbowl is in the afternoon, so no time to watch. I did keep up with the score throughout church on ESPN from my phone though! I was a temporary PACKERS fan yesterday!

2.  What is the last book that you read?

The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins! I'm still not done with it yet, but I'm absolutely in love with it so far!

3.  What is your favorite kind of cake?

Chantilly cake! Which I just learned is specifically a Hawaii cake! I didn't know that before, I thought that there was Chantilly cake across the world! I think Chantilly cake is most like German Chocolate Cake, but it does taste a little different.

Liliha Bakery makes the BEST Chantilly Cake (and Cocoa puffs with Chantilly frosting...yum!). Zippy's also makes DELICIOUS Chantilly Cakes! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. 

4.  Do you snore?

I only snore when I'm super tired. Like, dead tired-head hits the pillow and I'm out, tired. 

5.  Do you play an instrument?

Sadly, I do not. I'm just not musical. Which is why it is my goal in life to find a husband who IS musical. 

Aloha Friday!

Happy Aloha Friday everyone! Today, my grandpa's old friend will be coming to check all of the electric outlets in the house. He's even going to install a new garbage disposal AND my bedroom fan! I'm so excited & grateful that my grandpa (who was an awesome man) has wonderful friends who are willing to help my family in times of need.


I'm also still mulling over the issue that I wrote about here. I got a lot of positive feedback on facebook, though, which is encouraging! I'm still taking your advice on the issue, though. Some help would be wonderful! :)


OK, enough chatter from me & on to the friday linky parties. I need to be quick because I still need to sweep and mop my bedroom floors before the guy comes to install my fan!

First, go link up with Lauren for

Fill In The Blank Friday!

1.   My favorite quote is       every single quote that I have in my seven year collection of quote books?! Haha, no really though, I have four quote books spanning seven years. It's wonderful. But, right now I'd have to say that my favorite quote is this: "Who looks on the outside dreams, who looks on the inside awakens"-Carl Jung. I heard it a few months back and it just stuck with me. I'm not sure why. I even have it hanging on my desk where I can look at it while I sit here, blogging and not doing homework :)   .

2.  A bad habit I have is    thinking that I have no bad habits? Haha. I guess procrastination? Haha. I'm like the biggest procrastinator in the world. Well not really, but I can be bad.   .

3.  The first time I felt like a "grown up" was       when I wrote my own rent check from my own check book, with money that I worked hard to earn from my bank account. It was a very fulfilling moment in my life. And also, that same week, when I was able to stock my 'fridge with food. It was a big moment for me.    .

4.  Weekends are   fun time! During the week I just feel so busy (even though I do nothing) with school work and other stuff that once the weekend comes around, I know all of my friends will be off and we can just hang out and have an adventure and everything will be good!    .

5.  When I was a child I wished my name was     Emily. Seriously, I had people in my fifth grade class call me Emily for like a week. I thought that it was the prettiest name ever. It was a Princess name and no one I knew had that name! (Of course, no one I knew had MY name either, but that's another story)  .

6.  I wish        that going to college was just easy. I mean, it is, but being able to PAY for college isn't. I love school so much and I enjoy going, but there's just so many financial hardships that go in to school. Especially in this day...     .

7.  A secret I have is       that I have way too many secrets. For some reason, everyone always tells me their secrets, and of course it ends with "but don't tell anyone, okay?" I love that my friends trust me, but a girl can only handle so much!     .

And of course, Friday Confessional 

with Glamazon and Mamarazzi

I Confess....


I am a total worrywort.
Ok, that's not a confession, per se.
But it's true.
& I'm pretty sure y'alls didn't know that!


I bought shampoo instead of conditioner.
& I didn't realize it until this morning when I showered
(in the complete dark, btw)
And instead of nice, creamy conditioner,
I had soapy shampoo.
Boo!


I'm slightly addicted to gleeRPG.
I ain't even trippin'!


I'm really scared to turn 21.
I don't know why.
I mean, it all just seems like it's coming so fast!
Like, it's really crazy.
I never thought that I'd actually turn 21,
so being just 3 days away from it is nuts!

Even if I wasn't  mormon,
I probably wouldn't have had a wild 21st birthday.
I don't drink, I don't party.
I'm celebrating the way I probably would have anyway,
Dinner & games with friends & family
& then dance club with awesome people!


I am seriously considering moving
to utah.


I have my wedding songs picked out.
Seriously.
And they do change depending on the guy.
Yes, I have some idea of who I want to marry as well.
But we'll see about that.


what are your confessions?

You Know You Love Me

So, the beautiful Little Miss Momma is having a linky party

that features all of our beautiful places.
AKA, take pictures of yourself,

Put them in a Blogpost

& then link up with LMM.

This is your chance to show the blog world exactly how

hot

you are. 

Gorgeous right?

I know.

Especially that last one.

:)

"Podagee" Tuesday

In Hawaii, people will call you "podagee" (portuguese) if you talk to much. Because, apparently portuguese people like to talk and share their life styles with everyone. I am portuguese, which means that people automatically assume that I can talk a lot. Which, of course, I can. Which is why I'm nicknaming today "Podagee" Tuesday, since it's link up day! And I will be "talking" a lot :)

1. What’s your favorite color to paint your nails?

Funny you should ask this question, since I just splurged (okay, not really splurged, since they were only 93 cents each) on three new nail polish colors! It's been forever since I've gotten new nail polish. Anyway, I love painting my nails red, usually. But this time I bough a hot pink and a dark pink (and sparkly!) so I'm excited to try out the dark pink...

2. Do you like to sneeze?

Not really. I'm a kid who has suffered from allergic rhinitis throughout my years. And I would sneeze a lot. And I hated it.

3. How often do you fill up your car with gas?

every week or two weeks or so. It depends on how much we drive.

4. Were you named after anyone?

No. My first name is from a dream my mom had when she was pregnant with me (and in the Hawaiian culture, it is said that if you dream a name, you have to name your child that). My middle name was given to me by my mom's kumu hula (hula teacher).

5. Have you made any good recipes lately?

Er. No. But I've been dying to try out a few good ones!

6. What’s an easy money-saving tip that you use regularly?

Go to Wal Mart. LOL. I love Wal Mart. Seriously, they do have the lowest prices, and the Great Value brand stuff is pretty ah-mazing. Also, make sure you compare prices at places.

7. Would you rather have a sore throat or an ear ache?

Neither. Haha, well I guess sore throat. 

8. Do you have any scars? What are they from?

I have scars on my legs from jumping (and falling) out of trees, as well as some from cheerleading and the typical childhood accidents. I also have one on my shin from a razor cut when I first started shaving my legs (it was traumatic enough to make me not want to shave for a while). Those are it really, for the most part, my scars have healed very well.

9. What are you “known for” in your circle of friends/family? 

In my family, I'm the smart one who got in to Kamehameha. I'm also the baby sitter. Among my friends, I'm the one that you can count on to get excited for you no matter how minor the event is. My friend texted me because she thought that she'd missed 11:11 on 1-11-11, but it turns out she was on the phone with the guy she liked at the time and she told me because she knew that i'd get excited with her about that :)

10. How do you like to eat your pancakes?

I actually don't really like pancakes.

---

1. Do you use an alarm clock or some device to wake you up, or do you wake up on your own?

I can wake up on my own. My internal body alarm is ah-may-zing! I can just look at the clock and think "Okay, I'm going to wake up in15 minutes" and I can fall asleep and be up in 15 minutes. But sometimes, only if it's for something important, I'll use an alarm.

2. If you could go on any game show, which won would you choose?

Ahhh!! I love Game Shows. I want to go on either Lingo or Deal or No Deal. Or 1 Vs. 100. I love that show! I'd go on Baggage too, but not really. And the Newlywed Show, when I'm married one day. Yeah...I love GSN. Haha.

3. Do you prefer the weather to be hot or cold?

In between? I love cold weather at times, but I also like warm weather. 

4.What color of clothing do you wear the most?

Green, usually. But lately, I've been wearing a lot of blue.

5. What is your favorite color? 

Green!

Friday Link-Ups

You wanna know what I think is hilarious?

(of course you do! what am i even thinking?!)

I think it's hilarious that everyone (and their mother)

is talking about the whole star shifting, sign changing thing.

I actually really love that so many people are talking.

& let's get this straight,

there is no way that I'm switching to a Capricorn.

Not that being a Capricorn is bad.
Most of my friends are, in fact, Capricorns.

I, however, am a true Aquarius til the end.

Mmkay?

Moving on. Here are the link-ups that I'm doing today!

---

Let's start with Five Question Friday, over with Mama M.

 

1. What movie could you watch over and over again and not get tired of?

i have a few! hmm...dirty dancing has to be at the top of the list though.

It's my all time favorite movie. 

Also, She's the Man (I've watched it a billion times and still laugh every time),

50 First Dates (best movie EVER) & Nacho Libre!
Oh and Madagascar 2!

2. What's your biggest pet peeve right now?

Bad attitudes. Over the past few days, I've witnessed way more attitude problems then I ever should in my young life. Seriously, I thought attitude issues were only for teenagers.
Apparently, people in their 30s with kids can have them too.

And then they wonder why their kids have attitude problems. *rolls eyes*

3. If you had to describe your best friend in five words or less, what would you say?

funny, sarcastic, dreamer, listener, brotherly (yes, my best friend is a boy & yes, he is awesome. so there)

4. If you did not have to worry about money or go to school what would you do for a living?

I would honestly just be a stay at home mom. I would homeschool my kids & I would just spend my time enjoying being with them. I'm hoping that one day I can make this a reality, even if it means that I'll have to make sacrifices.

5. What is your one "splurge" item, that you will always buy, no matter the cost?

Books! If there is a book that I'm dying to read, I'll pretty much buy it, no matter what. At least I'm splurging on practical things though :)

---

Honestly, Fill In The Blank Friday with Lauren is like my favorite link up.
Because it makes me think.
So, I'm especially loving this weeks fill ins!

1.   I feel happy when       I get to spend time with people that I care, someone does something special for me out of the blue, when my puppy decides to be nice and give me kisses instead of barking at me, I get to laze around all day and just relax, the people around me are happy and cheerful    .

2.  I get silly when    I'm with my friends, and especially when it's way late and I'm way tired and I'm talking to either my friends, my girls, or my best and it's just random, crazy, silly nonsense.   .

3.  Something that makes me sad is       animal and child abuse    .

4.  Something that makes me annoyed is   when people judge others for no apparent reason other than looks or assumptions. And also when people think they know my life story and where I'm coming from and why I do things when really they don't    .

5.  A time that I've been truly surprised was        errr...I can't think of anything. I'm a really hard person to surprise because I'm extremely intuitive and I know when things are coming pretty easily. It's hard to hide things from me because of my intuition. Whoever proposes to me is going to have to be reeeaalllyy good at it in order to keep a surprise. Like, no one will be able to ask me anything. Like even if my sister asked me my ring size, I would probably automatically assume that it's because the dude wanted to know cause he was going to propose. So, yeah, he'd have to be extremely stealthy about it!  .

6.  I am so thankful for        everything that I've been blessed with. I've been extremely blessed with the life that I've lived. I have an awesome family who loves me, I have friends who are fun, I have a gospel that I look to and that  I can grow in. I'm just extremely lucky and blessed     .

7.  I feel loved when       someone does something small for me. Really, just a small little indication that they are thinking of me and want to make one little thing easier on me makes me feel loved        .

I've also decided to do some Confessions today

with the beautiful Mamarazzi and Glamazon

I confess...that I spent all day yesterday having a "rain day." Well, what do you expect?! You can't have snow days in Hawaii, now can you?! 

I confess...that I did absolutely nothing on said "rain day." I could have crafted, I could have worked on some sewing projects, I could have done some exercise videos. Instead, I stayed in bed all day playing the Sims 3.

I confess...that I'm doing the exact same thing today, when really I should be cleaning my room. Eh, I'll get to that after I post this.

I confess...that I'm kind of nervous about going to the tri-stake Valentine's Dance. I don't wanna play that Singled Out game. Forces of the Universe, please please let someone (you know who) ask me to go to the dance with him!

I confess...that I have a new, real life crush! It's been a while since I've had a crush on an actual person that I know (yeah, kinda sucks that Flynn Rider and Logan Henderson don't count...). I don't feel comfortable talking about him on the blog just yet, but can you guys please send positive thoughts out into the universe so that maybe something will happen between me and said dude? Thanks.

I confess...that I have a crush of Flynn Rider. You know, Eugene? From Tangled? What?! He's adorable and I love him, okay? I mean, how can you not?! Look at that smolder!

I confess...that I had the best dream ever last night. OK, not ever. But Logan Henderson was my boyfriend and he sang me a special song. And everyone was jealous. So there.

And that's it for Friday's Link Up Parties.
Go on and link up if you're interested!
