Good People!

So, I told some of you about the people who moved into my Ala Wai apartment after I moved out. Their names are Steve & Nadine and they were the most wonderful neighbors one could ever hope for.

They were moving from one apartment into another bigger one (mine) in the same house. Not only did they give me a bunch of boxes for moving but Steve took the role of being my extra dad. He helped me in the way MY dad would have if he was here. Steve lifted all of my heavy boxes and things down the stairs and drove me back and forth to my new apartment 3 times with boxes and furniture, just because he is nice like that!! He also made an attempt to fix my broken (pink) bike and was genuinely concerned and eager to help me. The fact that Steve tried to hook me up with his son who's in the army, and invited me to their housewarming party was just extras :)

Anyways, when I moved I left a bunch of stuff for them that I didn't need to bring to the new apartment and couldn't sell before the move, such as a big microwave a few lamps and a bunch of other kitchen stuff. So I gave them some free stuff. No big deal!!

Today, about a month and a half later I get a phonecall from Steve saying that he had some mail for me that hadn't been sent to the new address. he also asked about the microwave, if it was mine. I was like "yeah it was mine, but I told you guys that you could have it" Steve: "can I pay you for it" Me: eeh sure, I guess. (?) :) I stop by, they're just pulling out of the driveway. Steve tells me that he had bought the tools needed to fix my bike but I told him that I still don't have a new wheel to change on the bike. They're both like: don't worry we'll take care of it! We have lots of free time.

Oook.. So I gave Steve the key to my broken bike and I think he's gonna fix it! Really!

I pick up the mail and with it there's $30 for the microwave that I've had since I moved to hawaii in 2005 - almost 5 years ago - a piece of shit microwave that is..! :)

Steve & Nadine = Good People

Definitely miss my beautiful pink cruiser bike.
Here she is posing with some model for some Honolulu magazine.
She's my baby and I love her :)

Moving forward!

I've been really down lately! Most of 2009 has pretty much sucked actually!
Life just hasn't worked out the way I have wanted it to, at all!

Hopefully I'll be able to turn it around, or at least fight off all my negative thoughts and be able to think more clearly and more positive thoughts.

Not being able to go to Disney for the fall was one of the biggest disappointments, but just recently I've been able to accept it and I am now thinking about the future.
In about 6 months I will be done with my college career, I will have my business degree and hopefully will be off to bigger and better things!

So here's what I'm thinking:
I am able to work in the US for 1 year after graduating. I really want to go back to work for Disney in Florida! I know that they have an amazing opportunity for professional internships where I would be a management trainee and later a manager at whichever type of department I choose/get accepted to.
I'm thinking that I will apply for 'Rooms & Related(housekeeping&front desk) mgmt', Food & Beverage mgmt, & Retail mgmt. I'm open for a couple other ones as well but these are my tops :)

I know that if I apply and get called for an interview, I will most likely have to travel to Orlando sometime in the middle of the fall semester which could become an issue both beacuse of time AND money, but i will cross that bridge when I get to it.

If a professional internship is not possible, then my backup plan will be to apply for another college program, just like the one I did last year. Since I got accepted and they were really excited about my qualifications when I applied for Fall 2009, it shouldn't be an issue for me to get accepted again for Spring 2010, starting in January. This way I would be in Florida complete another college program, and by the time I am done with that I would be able to apply for a professional internship maybe starting in June!

So the way I see it, there shouldn't be anything standing in the way of me going to Orlando, Florida in January 2010!

POSITIVE THINKING!

Hellre äta gröt tillsammans än oxfilé ensam

Today's Status: I feel hopeless

But any other day, my feelings are all over the place!
I'm happy. I'm sad. I feel hopeful. Then my dreams are shattered. I want to give up. I'm stressed out. I wish I could change things. I wish I could be in control of what my life is doing to me!
Even when I'm happy, having a good time and life is good i look back later on, thinking that I feel like it's all just fake. It feels kind of empty. I can have all these people around me, people who want to spend time with me, hang out with me, but I still feel lonely!

I know why...

Det finns nog inget annat sätt att förklara det på förutom dessa tre ord. Jag är kär!
Jag är så fruktansvärt förälskad i denna man som bor i Florida. Allt jag vill göra är att hoppa på ett flygplan och spendera resten av sommaren där... men vad gör man?
Biljetten är dyr och jag är helt enkelt fast på Hawaii!
Alla tänker nu, "åh vad synd om dig, fast på Hawaii". Jo jag vet.. Hawaii är underbart! Men om man inte kan vara nära den man älskar så spelar ingenting roll! Det är lite som det där talesättet ”Hellre äta gröt tillsammans än oxfilé ensam”.
Varför händer det här mig just nu? Vanligtvis är jag stark, kan hantera sånna här saker! Men inte denna gång, mitt liv är helt uppochner allt på grund av en enda person! Hur ska jag hantera det här? Jag tror jag behöver hjälp!

Jag önskar att han inte fick mig att falla så hårt...
Jag önskar att jag kunde glömma bort honom totalt...
Jag önskar nästan att jag aldrig träffat honom alls...

just one. today.

Bio-Söndag!

En blogg på svenska, vad tror ni om det? Det är sällan jag skriver mer än en mening eller två på svenska nuförtiden så jag kanske borde fräsha upp modersmålet mitt litegranna!

Söndag idag... En helt vanlig dag egentligen förutom att jag hade en dejt inplanerad!
Har varit lite sjuk i några dagar nu och mest legat hemma och hostat och snorat så det var bra att jag hade en bra anledning att gå ut.

Våran plan var att gå på bio. Jag vet, lite lame att gå på bio som en dejt, men hey, jag ville jättegärna se Brüno, den nya filmen med Sacha Baron Cohen - Han som är Borat och min gamla favorit Ali-G!
Så den lyckliga mannen, min dejt, plockade upp mig runt klockan ett och vi gled runt i hans (imponerande) åk en stund innan bion började. Skrattade så jag fick ont i magen genom hela filmen. Klart bättre än Borat!

Efter bion gick vi och käkade på en grekisk restaurang i stan. Maten var mumsig! Så nära man kan komma till smaken av svensk kebab! :)

Så överlag, en helt okej dejt och en helt okej Söndag!

Pussar&Kramar och mycket kärlek från eran Mimmi i Hawaii♥

Why?

Come See Me...

Can't help [rå för] how I feel. Even after all this time has passed...
It really makes me wish Hawaii wouldn't be so far away from everywhere else!

Jill Scott - Come see me

It's a midsummer night hour and I'm thinkin about cha babe,wanting you
I wish you could catch a jet plane,I know you would,if only you could
The finances ain't what we'd like,and sometimes we have to sacrifice
Cuz I know,it's hard over there where you are
Cuz it's raining over here on the inside of my womb...

[Chorus:]

... passion and desire baby...
... innumerable fires honey?...
... I got for you,you know that it's true...
Come see me...

I feel like I've been waiting eternity for you to touch me
I can see it in my mind's eye,how right and true,this love we'll make
And ooooh,if you ever believed in anything, believe this is true
I am your woman baby and you are my man,too

[Chorus]

[Breakdown]
I ain't got no questions in my mind,no feelings of doubt
I believe I've just been waiting all this time to find out what loves about
And I'm so excited,and a little scared,thinkin'
I'm gonna get overwhelmed every breath?/

Ooh baby I wanna be overwhelmed,I wanna
be overwhelmed,I wanna be...
I wanna feel...

[Chorus]

I wanna feel...

[Chorus]
...right nowwwwwww

I can hardly stay in my skin
It's hard to breath out and in
All this passion,all this desire...
C'mon,c'mon,come see me right now

Update! It's getting close...

4 more weeks and I lost 3.2lbs = 1.45kg.
Total weight loss for 2009: 18.4lbs = 8.36kg




So yeah, I guess you could say that it's going really well for me in this department! :) Only 1.6lbs left until I reach my first goal of losing 20lbs!

Overall, this whole weight loss thing is great! Which is kind of obvious right? Most of us can stand to lose a couple of pounds to get healthier, for other people, like myself, who really could need to lose a lot of weight, a big weight loss can make a huge difference in the day-to-day life.

While I've been working so hard this year going to the gym and trying to eat healthy foods a lot of people keep telling me that I'm crazy; that I look perfectly fine as is, and I really appreciate hearing that. However, I guess from my standpoint, being very competitive and goal oriented and having my eye-on-the-prize at all times, if I know that I can improve myself more - that's what I'm gonna do. Of course it's not always going to be about losing weight like it is now, but there's always something one can do to that can positively affect one's life. And that's all I'm trying to do.

So, like I said, it's been a great change in terms of weight loss; I feel good, I look sexier each and every day ;) and it's just good for me, ya know? But here's what's annoying me: My favorite pair of jeans are basically falling off now. I need new clothes but have absolutely no money to spend on that type of stuff right now! Lame.

Gotta get back to doing homework. Summer school is really intense!

Peace Out!
