So it's been a while since I've blogged . . . but now that I have something to blog about, it might take me a while to do all this typing. But please prepare yourself to read maybe the sweetest things that there is to do with a couple of friends.
So it was Saturday the 25th. From 11:00-12:00, I was in a meeting at the studio to discuss first line's new costumes and who was actually in the first line. We were going to start to make this new/old brown and white otea, and it's GORGEOUS. So I had a list of things that I had to order, and a bunch of other stuff I had to do to keep up with costuming. The meeting didn't last a while and then it was time for the Chant/Ipu Pa'i Workshop class. I brought my Ipu Heke, and mostly just watched in class. I learned how to chant and to pa'i years before they actually had a class for it. I learned all this stuff when I was a keiki, and I wasn't that suprised that I would actually remember how to do everything. Ended up doing fine, while Auntie Kehau taught the other students to pa'i. After that class was the second line meeting for wahines. We met with the wahines and they new second line wahines to tell them that they needed all kinds of stuff. Because when you do join a line as a new wahine, it costs big bucks to actually just get your first costumes up and going. Believe me, I've had most of my costumes for almost 6 years now. In and out of new and old ones. But I've been dancing to the point to where I know what's needed without having to ask, people usually ask me. So that class was over and I told Nat to call me because supposedly she had something planned for hula or something. So we all left and I came home pretty tired.
As soon as I got home, I actually recieved a couple of invitations to go out a couple places. One with Andrew, hoping that I could eat dinner with him, Mike, Zelly, and P.A.Y.O., ended up not going. I had an invitation from Kacie to go to Cheryl's suprise birthday party down the street from my house, ended up not going to that either. I wasn't sure what I had planned, all I knew was that I had a show or something for hula. I thought that there was gonna be a get together by some hula people, mostly the wahines and Auntie Kehau. Ended up that it was just me, Natalie, Dominic, and Patrick (Andrew). Natalie called me and told me that they were gonna pick me up. So I took forever trying to get ready because I didn't know what the heck I was gonna wear. Since I say Nat earlier that day and I saw what she was wearing, I called her up and asked her if that was gonna be what she was gonna wear tonight. Which was in fact a short plaid skirt with a tanktop. She told me to try my best to dress like her so that she wouldn't feel out of place when I dressed casually. So I tired my best my wearing a short plaid brown and black skirt with this long sleeve brown shirt that had a hood, but was pretty much REALLY tight. I'm really not sure why mom liked that shirt so much on me but I wore it anyway. I brought my black jacket and then started walking around trying to find the shoes that I wanted to wear. At first I thought that I wanted to wear Cici's shoes, since it'd be cute since that was what I pretty much wore on Halloween of last year. But I ended up wanting to wear heels cuz' I am so short compared to everyone else at hula, I am one of the smallest, if not the smallest. So I found one of my nice heels that were closed toe (although I shouldn't have to worry about that too much since everyone @ hula has seen my feet before), but it was only one. I went crazy running around the house trying to figure out where the other one was. The boys were helping . . . and so was everyone else in the house. I looked a lot mostly in my room because that's where I found the first one. I looked under my bed at least five times before I actually found it under there. I thought that it was actually pretty funny because there were three people that looked under my bed and I didn't even see it until the fifth time I looked. So I finally got ready and I was sitting for a while. I started getting a little scared because they were almost a whole hour late. So I called Nat and she told me that they were on their way. So I was sitting on the stool watching a movie with the little kids. I can't even remember what movie it was because I was too nervous about the night in that short skirt. So there I was sitting, and being scared, and my cell rings. I look at my phone and it's Darryl. I'm glad that I got the chance to talk to him because he gave me the opportunity to actually shake of all that nervousness that I had. So he was sitting and making fun of me while his friends at his house were laughing. I was laughing too, although he was making fun of ME, it was some pretty funny stuff. Not too long after me and Darryl were talking for almost half an hour they drive up and everyone starts making a big deal of it. since both Auntie Mimi and Auntie Annie were here, all they could do was tease me and make me even more nervous. I told Darryl that I had to go and then got my jacket that was sitting on the couch near the door. Auntie Mimi went straight up in introducing herself to Andrew when he came inside and the dogs got all excited for only seeing him for the second time. I wasn't suprised because Nate did actually take a nap on him last time he was here. So I got my jacket and my purse and I was out my door. I was kinda bummed that I wasn't able to say bye to mom because she wasn't home but it was alright, she called me as soon as she got home. So we walked out of my door and got into the car. Nat opened the back door scaring the heck out of both me and Andrew. We got in the car and then as we got back onto the freeway, we were trying to decide what movie that we wanted to see. We ended up picking . . . uh . . . Geez I can't even remember what movie it is that we wanted to watch. Oh yeah! We originally planned on watching "Chicago". But as soon as we got to Fashion most of the movies were sold out. The only thing that wasn't sold out and wasn't too late was "Hot Chick". The show time was 8:10 and it was only about 7:40, we had half an hour to kill. Since Nat knew Fashion pretty well we walked over to a place next to Geppetto's (however the heck you spell that). Build-A-Bear. Nat seemed to know exactly what she was doing because she walked right in and picked a bear. It actually took her a while to pick A bear. As I watched Nat, Andrew was watching too, and he said, "Let me make you a bear too." Nat's bear was for her birthday from Dominic. I argued with him for a long time while we watched Dom stuff the bear and give it a bath. Me and Andrew started arguing again, and then eventually we walked over to where to bears were to pick one. He picked the most popular one, as so we thought and then waited for someone to help him stuff it. While the lady was stuffing it she was talking to us and asking who the bear was for and everything. By the stuffing machine there was this little blower thing that had these hearts for the bears. She asked Andrew if he got one, and then asked me if I wanted one too. So he got me another one and she made us do all kinds of stuff. Put it on our head and spin so that the bear could have brains, hold it tight in our hands to give it a heartbeat and then finally put it on our foreheads, close our eyes, and make a wish. I closed my eyes and made mine, but I wasn't sure if he did or not. When the wishing was done, we put the hearts inside the bear and then gave the bear a bath. We contemplated a long time on what we wanted the bear to be, a boy or a girl. At first he wanted it to be a boy, just so he could make it a gangster and have it wear a bandana, but after a while of trying to figure out the sex, he ended up just buying this cute little outfit with a little bag to make her a girl. So we bought the outfit and then walked over to accessories to figure out what else to get. He bought her Skechers and then bought her a cell phone. I was holding glasses, because he always teases me that I'm a geek, but then noticed that it clashed with the flowers and jean skirt, so we put those back. We went onto the computers in the store to make a birth-certificate and everything. Made one and then bought everything. All that must've been at least $50. But I didn't know, he wouldn't tell me. So we were already late to the movie, with all the arguing me and him were doing and then walked into the theatre. I was really confused because we were at least 15 minutes late and the lights hadn't even gone off yet. So there stood me, Andrew, Nat and Dom, trying to figure out where to sit. No seats. We told one of the employees and he offered us so many other movies to watch. We couldn't accept on the fact that that was pretty late already, we couldn't watch a later showing. So we got our money back and then walked around that mall until it closed, we got into the car and while driving back to chula vista, tried to figure out where to go. Went to Jack-In-The-Box to get food and then we were on our way to the alley. On the way to Jack-In-The-Box, I realized that I didn't have socks. We went to K-Mart and then to Longs to find somewhere to buy socks. Everything was closed and then Andrew came to the conclusion that they alley had to have socks. I guess he was wrong because the didn't. We stood in line and I had my bear with me glowing in the dark because it was cosmic bowling time. So we gave them one of our shoes and rented out bowling shoes and then walked around to find balls. We were on lane 37 and me and Andrew were sitting putting on our shoes at the lane while Nat and Dom got theirs. I set up the turns with names and everything while Andrew walked away, but I couldn't figure out why until I ran up and grabbed his hand and asked. "We HAVE to find balls don't we?" I was laughing because I had totally forgotten. So we were walking up and down the alley looking for balls and we only found one, and that was gonna be mine, his fingers were too big to fit in the holes. We gave up and started walking back. He had my ball in one hand, and me in the other. Found Dom and Nat as soon as we got back to the lane and started bowling. I told Andrew from the beginning that I was gonna kick his butt. I didn't miss anymore than two pins on the whole game, but I came out with a crappy score. I can't even remember what it was it was so crappy. Second game rolled along and it was on. Andrew was determined to beat me. Last game kinda sucked because of Dom and Andrew. When Nat left to go to the bathroom Dom rolled her first ball for the fifth frame. She came back and she was mad. She rolled two balls down both the gutters while there was one already rolling down. The lane broke and Dom went over to the desk to tell them. It was back up and it was a pretty gloomy game, until almost the tenth frame. Tenth frame came around and Nat wasn't all that mad but this was the frame that Andrew was gonna kick my butt in. He got two strikes the first two rolls, and since it was the last frame he had one more, and got an 8. Kicked my butt so mad. But we all had fun. We returned our shoes and didn't even realize that it was already 11:30. Mom left me a message on my phone @ about 10 to tell me to come home because of curfew and law purposes. Got home at about 12:30 almost 1:00. He walked me to my door, I gave him a hug and thanked him for the great day. Came into the house, changed my clothes and then crawled in bed with mom. She asked me where I went and why I came home so late and I told her it was simply because we lost track of time. She told me not to stay out that late ever again unless I didn't wanna go out anymore. I said okay and fell asleep.
So it was Sunday the 26th and I woke up early to take a shower and everything since I had to go to hula early. Auntie Gina was supposed to come and pick me up and bring me because Amina and her cousin wanted to try out the class, but the didn't wanna drive all the way down hereh from Oceanview to take class. So that was cancelled and I had a couple of hours to kill. I practially sat around all those hours waiting for grandma to come and pick me up. 1:30 rolled around and we left and when to McDonald's before class since I hadn't eaten yet. We sat in the parking lot of the studio a while to finish up food and then we all got out to walk into the studio. Grandma had already known about my "date" the night before because of my mom, and all I did was show her the bear. I brought the bear to hula and walked into the waiting room. There sat all the keiki's mom's since the keiki's class was still going on. And right smack dab in the middle sat Auntie Annie (Andrew's mom). All she did was smile at me, and all I could do was smile back nervously and hold my bear tighter. I got too nervous to take it anymore and I asked Uncle Jim if I could go in already. So I went in and watched the keiki's practice the Lilo and Stitch Kalakaua. I thought that it was pretty cute. Class was soon over and then I finally had a chance to talk to Auntie Janet about what had happened the night before. She was really curious and all that she could say was, "I don't blame you, he is cute because shoot, if I was your age, I'd wanna go out with him too!" I couldn't help but laugh. So the classes went on, and I observed, mostly helping girls out with their form while Rachel and Parish danced to be the "uniform" dancers. Classes went well and then the drumming class started. As soon as Andrew walked in, Rachel, Parish, Auntie Janet, and Kat all looked at me to see my reaction. I couldn't do anything but smile. Again I watched the second line do their numbers while I tried to give them tips. Those girls've really gotta learn how to scream and not be shy. Then it was first line's to dance. Perfect . . . they made me lead in. They all thought that it was so cute because of how I had to dance right in front of Andrew when he was drumming. Working harder than usual I think I hurt myself. That class ended and I didn't even get a chance to talk to Andrew because his family was going out to eat dinner since he hadn't spent his dad's first day here from Israel. He called me on my cell while I was in the boys' class and left me a message. Told me he was sorry for not having the chance to talk since he had to leave right after, but he said that we'd talk later on and that he hoped to see me again soon. I got home, totally pooped from the long day of dancing and instructing and went to sleep.
I tried so hard to sleep in on Monday because I wanted to rest. It didn't happen. Woke up early because of the boys and then figured that I'd study at least a little, maybe finally finish my book that I'd been reading since December. None of that happened as I hoped it would. Andrew picked me up again and we drove down to Horton. And guess what we did! We went ice-skating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've wanted to go ever since last year but I hadn't had the chance. Now that I did, I was sOoOoOo happy. So we rented skates and then started out slow. Both Dom and Andrew can't skate for anything. I was laughing half the time totally cracking up because of how they were constantly holding on to either me and Nat or the actually wall for the ring. It was alright after a while and then the session was over. We walked over to Horton to walk around for a while and not look at anything in particular, since supposedly we had time to kill. "We're supposed to go somewhere after this." That's all I heard . . . well that and that it was supposed to be a surprise for me and Dom. Dom and I got into the car and they closed the doors. They took a while talking I guess trying to figure out where to go, or how to get there. Payed for parking and that stupid ticket was $5!!!!!! Well we got out of downtown and back onto the freeway. We got on 8 and the exited beaches. This truly was gonna be a surprise for me. We parked at Belmont Park and then brough a basket, a cooler, towels, and a blanket. We walked (I swear it was HALFWAY across the beach) and then finally sat down. Made our sandwhiches and then watched the sunset. It was CRAZY cold when the sun started to set, but I guess that that's what the blanket and body heat was for. He sat there holding me while I had the blanket shivering, but REALLY enjoying the sunset. I'll always remember the color of the sky . . . the sound of the waves . . . and the moment that the sun hid itself away behind the clouds as we watched . . . I'll always remember how perfect it was. It eventually got way too cold to stay at the beach while the wind started blowing harder. We got back into the car and it was only 6:00. Since none of us wanted to go home, we tried to pick on another place to go. Ended up going to Lollicup, and buying drinks. As soon as we got there my mom called, "Hello Missy it's a school night." "Yes mommy we're on our way home." Sat a little while on the couch waiting for the drinks got our drinks and then sat back on the couch while I asked him about his wish. I really wondered what his wish was when he put his heart in my bear. He finally told me. And I was REALLY surprised. I didn't even know what to say. I was amazed and surprised and sOoOoOo happy. He asked about mine, and mine was practically the same thing that he wished for. I couldn't help but smile and just look at him. I told him I had to go and we all got back into the car and he dropped me off again. Walked me to my door gave me a hug and left. What a nice day. =)
I went through the week pretty happy . . . although mid-terms were going on. I pretty much bombed on my tests, but it was alright. I guess I expected it. Finally the week was over and it was Friday again.
Since it was a short day, I sent a message to Andrew to see what he was doing. Ended up he was sleeping in lunch detention. He sent me back a message and told me that he almost got caught and that he'd call me as soon as he got out. I was still on the way home from the funky bus ride home and didn't really get the chance to talk that long. Gen waited until my bus stop to get off because she thought that her mom didn't know that we had a short day. As soon as we got off the bus and walked across the street . . . guess to drives by. Turns out her mom came over to our house to pick up my mom to treat her out to lunch. It wasn't as big of a deal as me en Gen thought that it'd be. But for more info on that . . . check Gen's blog . . . I'm getting kinda lazy to type the whole story of "The Sea of Dresses".
So night time rolled around and everyone had planned on going out to the movies to watch Darkness Falls. I didn't know how I was gonna get there, and I didn't even know if I was gonna go anywhere since mom had already spent an even $100 on both my dress and shoes. So I told everyone that it was a maybe. I talked to Andrew and Nat to figure out if we could go and meet my friends. That was the original plan. As soon as we got to Dom's house, I found out that we had tickets to the NFLX. Dom's dad hooked it up with four tickets, and that's where we were on our way too. Embarcadero . . . Downtown. We knew it was gonna be packed, but I didn't know it was gonna be uncomfortable. I really didn't feel comfortable at all downtown. So we drove all the way back here and then ended up walking around @ Plaza for a couple of hours. We saw my brother (since I knew that he was already there I expected to find them there), Richard and Jon. I introduced Jon and Richard to Andrew and vise versa. Richard claimed to be my "other" brother which was okay with me. But those three are crazy. They eventually walked away and then me and Andrew walked into Spencers while Nat and Dom were downstairs making those sticker thingies. I went straight to the back to look at posters and make fun of them. Stayed in Spencers for a long time reading all the "nasty" cards. Laughing my butt of cuz' of Dom's laugh. Since plaza closed @ 9 and I didn't have to be home until 10, we went to Lolita's in Bonita to eat. I didn't eat, they did, I just sat there, I wasn't feeling all that great, my stomch was hurting. WE left at about 9:50 to go home. I caled home, not sure if I was gonna make it home in time or not. Donovan answered the phone and told me that mom was already asleep. I did end up making it home by curfew and I thanked Andrew again for a nice night and hugged him and then walked inside the house.
It was Saturday once again and it was a day to rest. As so I thought. Everyone woke up early again to go to Leanna's birthday party. I was trying to figure out the original plan in going minirature golfing and then fireworks with Andrew, Nat, and Dom. I had a chance to talk to Andrew and to try and figure out what time to pick me up and do everything. I told him that the family wanted to see him, since Leanna's party was gonna end up being a family party. Andrew said it was up to me if I wanted to drop by and say hi to everyone. Mom didn't recommend it because she likes Andrew, and she knew that if we went, that they'd ALL be interrogating me. Well not only me, but him too. So he picked me up while mom and the boys were out to Plaza getting Leanna's gift. Auntie Mimi and Auntie Annie both said hi to Andrew, along with the dogs. I got into the car and since I was the first one to be picked up, we went to pick up Nat. I was teasing him about the dogs because they already knew who he was. And he said that they probably knew when his car drove up too. I laughed and we drove to Bullock to pick up Nat. I wanted so much to see Tim again and have him holla. But I didn't have the number and we still had to go and pick up Dom. So we picked up Dom and started driving to Clairemont. We did go with the original plan of minirature golfing and I got my butt kicked. Andrew kicked my but sOo bad. It was alright though. After walking around in the arcade for a while, we got back into the car and then drove around to find somewhere to eat. We ate at Rubio's and then made our way downtown to watch the fireworks at Auntie Annie's work. We found parking after almost a whole hour, and then called Andrew's parents trying to figure out if they could pick us up so that we wouldn't have to walk all the way to her work. Nat payed for parking while we waited for his parents to come and pick us up. Ended up that they wanted us to follow them, and that we'd end up just parking where they parked. We sold our ticket to some lady and then followed them as they drove into Auntie Annie's work and got free parking. Walked into her building . . . actually more like through her building cuz' we ended up going onto the pier and watching the fireworks. The girls and Andrew's parents ended up moving down more the pier so that we could have our "own time". We watched the fireworks that we were practically surrounded by. I didn't know which one to watch, the on that was bigger, or the ones behind us. It ended up being a REALLY good show but it was hectic trying to get out of traffic. We ended up going in circles trying to figure out how to get out of downtown and back to PH. I wanted to go to starbucks since everyone was half asleep and to have something else to do before I went home. After starbucks, and after I finished my caramel frap and all Andrew's whip cream, I was WIRED. I was all hyper in the car and Andrew couldn't do anything but sit there and laugh at me. I came home and gave him a hug and he left. It was another nice night.
I would say that my weekend was pretty good. I know I enjoyed it. Well . . . I know it's a lot, but I hope you guys out there take into consideration the kinds of stuff that Andrew did for me. It was really sweet and you know the girls'll love it. Just be original. Don't do the exact thing I did . . . it'd be nice if she knew that you did something on your own. |
