I'm just the typical nice girl who loves what she does, loves where her lifes at and has finally found Mr. Right. Here's an overall on the major things in my life...
Architecture
Architecture for me has always been a fascination. Different styles, different uses of different elements and materials and yet they come together to produce something of beauty. Years ago, I realized that architecture was something I wanted to be able to create even knowing that career in architecture would demand dedication and require long arduous hours of work. Through five long years at the University of Hawaii-Manoa School of Architecture, my desire as well as my knowledge of architecture, has strengthened. I have confirmed my strong desire, determination, and dedication to study architecture. I feel it would be a worthwhile career...doing something you love and enjoy, all the while making a living from it.
UPDATE/10-28-99: Since I've been full time working this past 1 year and 3 months I've really learned a lot. I've thrown in my two cents in design, been working on projects on my own and have really been loving work..now if only there were more models to do! Shucks!
Life
After graduation I found myself leaving the only home I knew and landing in a big busy scary city of San Francisco. Sometimes I look around and see the huge bridges and towering buildings and think am I really here? and what the h*ck am I doing here? I left Hawaii to be here? Well San Francisco is a nice place, but being homesick is a part of my everyday. If I think about it, I'm actually proud of myself ... who ever could have thought that a lil country girl like me from Hawaii would end up in a huge busseling place like this. Theres so much to see and do. It a good experience. I've met some great people and made a few new friends and I have a boyfriend now! I'm slowly getting use to. But it's h*lla cold here..well that goes along with being a true island girl! Life here after 9 months is still cold..its what they been calling freakesy weather..its April and still falling to 30-40s. But well I'm still finding life here in California different and still missing home...life is hard..no surprise.
UPDATE/7-5-99:I've moved outside the city..and life's more fulfilling in a larger apt. And my boyfriend of 4 months has finally said he loves me. Life is peachy!
UPDATE/10-28-99: I just had my second birthday here on the MAINLAND (thats what we islanders call the North American continent haha)and I loved it! I loved my whole weekend! Dennis would prolly say otherwise cause we got him good for his birthday which is only 4 days after mine. But life has been nice. I've seen several of my friends passing through since my last update and can't wait to see more during Thanksgiving! Life is still peachy will not just peachy...chocolatey and if you know me you know how good that is to me.
UPDATE/12-20-99: Ok making it through another winter on the big rock...its quite warmer and dryer than last year and things are getting more comfortable now..oh I have realized that leaving Hawaii was something I needed to do to open myself to new things and I swear these two years have been nothing short of new things...just ask Dennis..we've done a lot of things from going to my first professional baseball game to spending my first thanksgiving in vegas. Still being teased for being cold though and for buying tank tops all the time when I no longer live in Hawaii hahaha oh well its hard to break habits!
Mr. Right
Thought finding Mr. Right would be hard.. but it actually wasn't! A guy who's totally sweet, smart, ambitious, professional, funny, understanding, caring, challenges me, easy to talk to, and adorable..thats my Dennis! Too bad he doesn't like chocolate though...i would like him a lil more if he did! j/k you still owe me tirimisu dude and not to mention some pearl ice tea! 8)
UPDATE:11-1-99: Its funny how things can be so up one moment and so down the next. But I guess its how my life has always been, I have always choosen the way it was gonna go and these days its nothing different. Life is dodo to put it mildly. When you lose the guy you've always wanted...its never anything else!
UPDATE:12-20-99: Okay its on an upswing right now and i kinda know its gonna be like that for a while...still got the guy and along with that a renewed sense of understanding, patience and courage. Who can not be happy with that! You know when you've met someone special when your heart makes all the decisions and though your head maybe more logical you still know your heart is right...loves not love if its not worth RISKING!
