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?

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!

Aloha Po'alima!

Happy Friday, friends! While friday isn't really my favorite day of the week, I always look forward to it because of the possibilities it holds. Not only do I get a break from work and school (well...not this weekend) for a few days, but it now means fun linky parties. Sooo, here are some for today!

My fun for this weekend comes in the form of three beautiful girls and one handsome little boy. I'm going to be spending the weekend at my Aunty and Uncle's house helping them pack and watch the kiddies for a bit. I plan on helping them get their stuff packed, while finishing packing my own bag. Also, we're going to bake! Hopefully...

Tonight, I'm going to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! I am so stoked it's crazy. I've been a Harry Potter fan for as long as I can remember so this moment is actually very surreal for me.

Deathly Hallows in honor of Deathly Hallows!

Also on the agenda for this weekend is homework (still in overtime with that).

AND...The La'ie Hawaii temple Rededication!

please don't steal this picture. i know, it's gaawwgouuss. but it's mine.

Even though I don't get to go, it's still an amazing celebration. Plus, that means that the prophet is here in Hawaii! How cool is that?!

Now time for the linky partiess! First up is Five Question Friday hosted by Mama M over at Five Crooked Halos!

1. What Christmas song do you loathe?

I don't think I loathe any Christmas songs. Like, I genuinely like pretty much anything. Oh wait, never mind. I don't really like Grandma Got Run Over by A Reindeer. Not sure why, it just freaks me out. Must be some suppressed childhood thing.

2. Do you and your significant other cuddle at night or sleep on opposite sides of the bed?

One day, when I'm married and actually have a S.O. I'm sure that I will love cuddling at night. I'm really big on cuddling.

3. Have you ever had surgery?

Nope. I guess I've just been blessed like that.

4. When do you typically have your holiday shopping done?

Whenever there are awesome sales! This year, we had all our shopping done by September.

5. If money were not an issue (and you HAD to pick something), what would your ultimate luxury item be?

My own house, for sure. That would be the ultimate luxury.

And now, Fill in the Blank Fridays with Lauren!

1.   My Thanksgiving plans this year will include       Landing in Florida for vacation! Possibly dinner at Denny's with my family. Well, technically my Aunty's family, but I consider them my own family now too. Hey, this will be my second year spending Thanksgiving with them!   .

2.  My favorite Thanksgiving was   all of the the thanksgivings of my youth. We used to go to my Tutu's house with pretty much my entire family and have a huge feast. We stopped that after my Tutu passed away. So sad :(  .

3.  My signature Thanksgiving dish is       I'm gonna go with Cream Cheese Pumpkin crunch. I've never made it, but in my mind they're delicious.     .

4.  My favorite Thanksgiving food is   Stuffing and mashed potatoes. I adore stuffing and mashed potatoes!  .

5.  Thanksgiving free association!      family, fun, love, fooooodd!!! .

6.  Thansgiving is        the best time of year. It's my favorite holiday. It's a reminder of all the good things that we have in our lives.    .

7.  I am thankful for       my wonderful family, the church and awesome church leaders, growth throughout the year, change, being able to do things that are fun     .

Have a wonderful weekend everyone! If I'm not around for the next few days, just remember that's a good thing, cuz I gotta get my homework on!

XOXO,
