Anyways, after, my mom and I rushed to Ala Moana to get Caitie's birthday present. I met up with Maiya and Grace, but couldn't shop with them (I had no money, so my mom had to charge it). I ended up getting her the book, "Handle With Care" By Jodi Picoult from Barnes and Nobles, a very cute dog bookmark, and two Godiva chocolate rectangle bars (mmmmm). Damn, I gave her a good present hahahaha. My mom and I liked her present so much, we bought some Godiva chocolate and ended up getting the same book so we could read it ourselves (hahaha).
As soon as I got home at 4:15, I had to get ready to meet everyone at Punahou so Caitie's mom could drive us. I met with Maiya, Grace, Nick, Caitie, and Emily at 5:15 and drove to Caitie's house. Matt, Hallie, and Buster met up with us later. Caitie's party ended up being really fun. I'm very happy I was able to go. Don't think I'm surprised it was fun or something, I'm just saying that I'm very pleased about how much I really had. We tried pretzels, cookies, candies, everything in her chocolate fountain, ate spaghetti and croissants for dinner, watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, opened presents, sang karaoke, played Apples to Apples, and challenged each other in a game of Scattergories (which was surprisingly hilariously fun). It turns out, everybody got Caitie books... LOLOLOLLLLL (lucky girl). By the time we went to sleep (or should I say, by the time Maiya, Caitie, Emily, Hallie, and I went to sleep), it was 3:30 a.m. The only reason we didn't stay up later was because we didn't want to be tired on Sunday (not because we were tired).
We woke up around 8 a.m. ish and ate spam, portugese sausage, croissants, rice, toaster strudels, etcs, for breakfast (mmmm). After, we kinda just did anything. Matt, Maiya, and Hallie left at 9, so the rest of us played around on Sims for a while. After, we helped Emily with her Sustainability Fair setup while playing Caitie's Wii upstairs. My parents picked Nick and I up at 12:30 and we went to Waikele Subway for lunch. After, we went to Borders in attempt to look for the many books I was interested in reading. I fell asleep on the ride back to town. We eventually dropped Nick off at his house at 2:30 p.m.. My parents and I tried to look for the books I wanted at Kaimuki Library (but of course, they didn't have it :/). Instead, I signed up to be a volunteer there and got dropped off at my apartment while my parents ran a couple of errands (errands that included getting groceries, my ingredients for these cookies I'm baking tonight, and HANDLE WITH CARE BY JODI FOSTER HAHA). Yeah, you heard me. My mom and I really wanted to read the book so we eventually bought it from Borders. :)
So here I am, just sitting in my room on a Sunday night at 6:54 pm waiting for dinner to be ready. Tonight, we're eating salmon with miso soup, rice, and this tofu dipped in garlic shoyu sauce (OMG FOODGASMa SKDJF AKLSJDF ALKSJDF ) . Sorry, I go a bit crazy for salmon... and rice...
But anyway, I really had a good time this weekend. I don't know how much to go into depth with my blog considering people from my school apparently found it (my fail in a futile attempt to change my tumblr url and picture and theme and shit). But, I have to say, I miss Caitie as a close friend. Of course we are still friends, but not like how we used to be before. In 7th grade, we were like best friends. I actually called her every day during the summer and we would talk from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. It was kind of crazy haha. But the thing about her is that she understands the kind of stuff a lot of other people wouldn't understand. She listens to you and is always there for you. She's fun, but she's responsible. The thing that I really like about her is that she's not normal. I mean not normal as in weird vs. normal. I mean, she's had to deal with different obstacles and setbacks in her life. But thankfully, it's only made her a stronger and better person today. Of course I love all of my friends, but a lot of them don't lead interesting lives. In other words, most of them have had pretty great lives (not saying mines wasn't great because I'm very fortunate), but I mean, they're pretty normal. I would love to have someone I could just talk to and they would, you know, understand how I feel because they've been through something like it before...
Another thing I realized this weekend is that I kind of think reading is interesting. Haha, not like I frowned upon it before, but it's just that I have taken a very great interest in it lately. As of now, I have a list of books that I need to buy from Barnes and Nobles/Borders.
Everyone at the party was awesome. No joke, no lie, nothing false about that sentence at all. I enjoyed everyone's presence at that party. I love Hallie's fun and outgoing attitude. She may be in 9th grade and she may be tiny just like me, but she's as loud as life, and I really admire that. I find Grace so interesting. She's just so different from any person I've ever met (nothing to do with the fact that she has blue hair or anything). But, she's just so unique. It'd be cool to get to know more about her. Maiya is just so awesome hahaha. I've always thought Maiya was one of the most coolest and just a downright amazing person. She's well rounded. She's smart, outgoing, athletic, volunteering, nice, and not to mention very pretty. I love having her as a friend. Matt is just matt. He's like some sort of Asian Local Surfing Guy who (thankgoodness) was not raised in China. He's so chill and cool. I don't really know how to describe him, other than that he's related to Hallie and they're just both awesome. Buster is pretty awesome too. I didn't know him that well (and I still don't), but he was really fun at the party. Our paths have crossed many times throughout middle school and high school, and I think it'd be really awesome to get to know him. Emily is just, she's just so like... mature. AND THATS NOT A BAD THING. It's kind of awesome haha. I've always wanted to be Emily's friend. Why? Because she's polite, nice, and very friendly. She's a vegan (HOW DOES SHE DO IT?!) and a gold member Starbuck's customer. She goes to cafes to study (which I love doing) and she just seems like someone you could just have a lot of fun with. I'm really happy I got to befriend her this year.
Sorry, I went kind of overboard with the whole OMG MOST AMAZING WEEKEND EVER thing, but it's just that, things haven't been good lately and that was just what I needed to pick me up again. The days before the weekend were probably the toughest I've had to go through in 2011, and going back to school after the endoscopy was unsurprisingly tough. I admit it, I cried a few times throughout the day because everything was just too overwhelming. I didn't know what I was doing anymore, I didn't really understand what was so great about life, and why I should have the privilege to live it. But after the weekend, I just feel so refreshed and recharged... I felt as if it was the first time I hadn't faked a smile the whole week.
OMG I HOPE I DIDNT SOUND LIKE SOME SORT OF DRAMA QUEEN THER CUZ THATS NOT HOW I MEANT TO COME OFF.
