I'm back....from Hawaii!

Alright so I snuck out of the blog world without a mere notification of my absence!! But it seems I didn't miss out on much since everyone has been slacking it seems!! Looks like summer is in the air!! Okay so before you all get disgusted by my lame pictures, let me just tell you.....My camera broke!!! Yes....while i was on vacation in paradise thinking I was gonna take all these cool pictures of our ventures, my camera breaks our 2nd day into our vacation!! Talk about a damper on the rest of the week! So there you go! As far as you can see, all we did was go to the Temple(beautiful by the way) look at the beach, and take some pictures of some cool trees, oh and the one with the cool shrubs in the background....real cool! I swear we did more! But nope can't share pictures of it! I guess the memories will only live on in my head! Haha! Okay so I'm also thinking your all wondering "Is that Jake in those pictures?? I thought they weren't together?" Yes folks that's jake! Nope NOT together still.....yeah yeah judge me if you want :) It was sort of a last minute idea we had for memorial day weekend! We literally booked tickets a week before! I had to really think if I wanted to go or not, but who wouldn't want to go to Hawaii with one of your best buddies?? Common.....Lets be honest! Alright.....so since I can't show you pictures of my great memorial day vacation let me tell you a little(or a lot) about my trip! We went to Oahu! I'm not sure how many of you have actually gone to Hawaii, but I was picturing somewhat of a jungle, waterfalls, beautiful clear beaches, modern towns(it is the united states you know!) but no....not really much of that! We stayed on the North shore. Jake's friend has a condo there that he let us stay in for free! But let me tell you, the north shore is sorta Ghetto.....I"m not sure if Hawaii just doesn't have any codes for living in homes, but if they did, I'm pretty sure most everyone would have to be evacuated!! Most of the houses looked like little shacks on the side of the road, or better yet, right by the beach! And....these homes are worth 700,000 +! I guess it is all about location!! The little town we stayed in on the North Shore, really felt like I was in another country! Not much modern anything!! Although they did have a Mcdonalds and a pizza hut! But, they do have the BEST shaved ice ever!! Ice cream on bottom with these sweet beans, sounds gross I know, but I'm Asian, I'm used to things like that! I grew up on the stuff! If you ever go, you must get a shaved ice!! So the north shore is known for it's surfing cause of it's huge waves, but apparently those only come in the winter time! So me and Jake go out to some of these beautiful beaches wanting to go boogie boarding, thinking the waves aren't bad at all and totally safe! WRONG!! You know those signs on the beach that say "Caution strong currents" yeah well we ignored those thinking we should just be careful....well I couldn't even get past the shore line the waves kept knocking me down!!! I look out there, and I see Jake....trying to get himself back to shore! It takes him a few minutes, and he comes back to shore, and I swear I thought I was going to see a grown man cry!! Hahaha! He says it was the worst experience ever, and he thought his legs might burst cause he was trying so hard to get back but the current kept sweeping him back in! I love the beach, but if you have ever got sucked in a current you just can't get out of....It's like a near death experience! So really, those signs should say "Caution you might DIE if you don't know what your doing" just a little FYI if you ever think you can beat the current, cause you can't! Anyway....We also spent the day in Waikiki! total tourist attraction, and the WORST beach ever! There are so many pretty beaches on the island, and I can't understand why this beach is the most crowded! There were rocks everywhere!! No sand....so trying to get in the water was a nightmare cause you put your foot down, and there is sharp coral everywhere!! I don't recommend it. Plus there was this gay section....at least I think it was! Tons of guys huddled around in nothing but speedos checking out jake as he walked by! Hahaha!! So all in all, my trip to Hawaii was great! Hanging out on the beach all day long relaxing, eating whatever you want, whenever you want, is my idea of a vacation!! Although I feel like I've gained 10 pounds! But hey who cares!!? I am now officially a different race....I look black! It was my first time seeing sun all summer long! No burns for me though! Another perk to being Asian! Alright so I'm sure I've bored you all, but this will give you something to read when your bored!!
