camera troubles

So I thought I was going to be able to take the time to write a really long blog about my time in Hawaii. No such luck. After a long and painful day at work (I wish I was still on vacation! Wah!), I came home and promptly fell asleep on the couch. In addition, I think I’m getting sick — I think it has to do with the crazy temperature change. It was about 90 degrees with lots of humidity in Hawaii and here in the Bay Area, it’s about 60 degrees. Brrr. I also planned to upload some pictures from my trip but I still haven’t gotten around to looking through all of them (we took about 150 pics!). Unfortunately, a good number of them didn’t come out as well as we would have liked. The zoom feature on the camera just makes the pictures turn out all pixelated — grrr. Maybe I’ll have time this weekend to resize and fix them up a bit as well as sit down and write about my trip. *crosses fingers*

And also, I want to say Happy Belated Birthday to Carmen! Hope you had a great day! *hugs*

look who’s back!

Whee — it’s me! I’m back from a really great time in Hawaii! But I’m sunburned and sleepy and I have to go straight to work tomorrow morning. Grr. I will blog about my trip and upload pictures very soon. 🙂

going, going, gone!

Just got done packing — whew! Finally. I think I packed everything. Or at least I hope I did. I have a tendency to pack way too much stuff — I’m only going to be gone for 6 days yet I’m pretty sure I have almost 10 outfits packed. 😛 I just like to be prepared. 😉

Well, I just wanted to say “Bye!” to everyone — my flight leaves really early tomorrow morning and I have to wake up in 6 hours (it’s midnight now). I don’t think I’ll be able to blog while I’m in Hawaii unless I find some internet cafe or something — so until next Wednesday! 🙂 Bye all!

going home

I’m all giddy right now — I just saw The Strokes on Jay Leno! 😀 They sang Hard to Explain and they were awesome. Julian looked really nice and tan and his hair is doing a cool flip thing — Cat, you would have been so happy. 😉 I also saw Sarah Michelle Gellar on Conan O’Brien. She’s so gorgeous — she had a really radiant and glowing look to her. She just looked so happy, it was great to see her smiling. But I’m not too sure about Scooby Doo — I really can’t stand the sight of Freddie Prinze, Jr. with blonde hair. It seriously freaks me out.

Anyway, this is my last blog until Monday night probably. I’m going home to Southern California to visit my Dad for Father’s Day — fun! 🙂 And I don’t even want to attempt to use my dad’s computer cause it is the slowest thing in the universe. I would probably get fed up and kick it to high heaven or something. AND he has dial-up — I’ve been so spoiled with DSL that I am so impatient when it comes to surfing the net nowadays. So yeah. Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. 😀

S2 Buffy is the best

Yay for me — I just bought the second season of BtVS on DVD. 🙂 I can die of happiness now. S2 is definitely one of my favorite seasons — all the Buffy/Angel angst. ::sigh::

I just paid for the trip that Rob and I are taking to Hawaii in August — I can’t believe I charged such a large amount of money on a credit card. Eeek! But whatever, it’ll be great to finally get a chance to relax. I think I deserve to splurge on myself a bit. 😛

it’s finally friday!

Friday means Friday Five time! 🙂

What’s your favorite vacation spot? I really love Hawaii… the lifestyle is laid back, the scenery is damn gorgeous, the people are friendly, and the weather is warm. Can’t beat that.

Where do you consider to be the biggest hell-hole on earth? Umm… when you’re driving between Southern CA and Northern CA, there’s a stretch of land that’s just littered with cows- all of them awaiting their torture (I guess- I just made that up). Anyway, the stench is truly disgusting.

What would be your dream vacation? Traveling for months all around Europe would be a dream. After my high school graduation, I went with my family on a month long tour of the major cities in Europe- London, Paris, Rome, Amsterdam… but I want to see it *all.* I’d love to see the less popular locales (but definitely just as rich in beauty and history) like Austria, Germany, Spain and Greece.

If you could go on a road-trip with anyone, who would it be and why? I’d love to go with my long-time friends (since grade school!) Carmen and Robyn. They’re the two people that I feel like I’ve been a horrible friend to… I’m just bad at keeping in touch in general. We all went to different schools for college and I let the distance get between us. *sigh* Plus, I just saw the Britney Spears movie “Crossroads,” which is about 3 girls who rekindled their friendship after drifting apart in high school so I’m a bit on the nostalgic side right now… if you either of you are reading this, I miss you! ::muah::

What are your plans for this weekend? Rob said he would take me to see “40 Days and 40 Nights.” 😀 Josh Hartnett, baby! Other than that, probably cleaning my apartment. Wow, the action in my life is NON STOP. ::note the sarcasm::
