Another day... #luckyme

Special thanks to that guy on the bus last night who was rocking out to his own music.  Your sheer love of metal music and lack of public shame, made me laugh hysterically (and a bit jelly).

**Still looking for a roadbike, if anyone has one they're not using**

It has been an awesome couple of days, my left ear finally popped yesterday - conforming that my best diving days are probably behind me.

Yesterday was pretty cool.  Nothing super exciting, but awesome nonetheless.  One of the most surprising things about my travels that people don't realize is that I normally spend a lot of time alone - yes, even in Hawaii.  Most people are working and stuff, or I guess assume I'm busy.  

Well, funny how random stuff works out too.  Yesterday, I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy in 3D, OMG it was $15.50, but completely worth it, seeing a 3D movie on a huge screen and proper 3D was amazeballs.  

Before that I was at one of my favorite beaches.  Ala Moana beach park.  It normally gets a bit crowded on the weekends, but on this Monday afternoon it was perfect.  I swam for a bit (of course forgot my goggles), and my pictures of myself didn't turn out that well, but hey, its still super.

Got to hang out with one of my BFFs just walking around Walmart - I know, right?  I was trying to see if they had a computer I wanted (of course, they didn't), we also had some Jamba Juice - what what?!  Acai bowl.  Yes, I know it's not the best place to get it, but hey my first Acai bowl in over year, k.  lol try relax. 

Oh yeah, this is what I had for breakfast yesterday.  I had to get my license renewed (which only took 2 hours BTW - kinda good since it was a Monday).  For the peeps overseas, this is corned beef hash, with fried rice and 2 over medium eggs (I really wanted pancakes, but then I'd need a lot of toast for the beef and eggs).  

Speaking of breakfast - gonna go eat.  I forgot what else I wanted to say.  o_O

First 24 hours back in Hawaii

The first 24 hours back on the island have been quite a mixture of emotions, everything from sheer joy to complete exhaustion.  The trip itself to Hawaii wasn't too bad, I was able to sleep for most of the three flights, just wished I had more access to water.  Sat next to friendly people on all of the flights, but just the journey itself kinda messed up my system this time around.  I have a runny nose - completely clear, and my left era hasn't popped - yet!  I swear I am going to be running and I'll just topple over once this decide to blow.  

The travel time was approximately 25 hours, add into the mix a 12 hour time difference, and a schedule which normally includes eating dinner at 7pm (or earlier), then I'm just all kinda messed up.

Did I mention I didn't get to take a nap?!  OMG. lol

Anyways, even with all of these crazy things going on, I still managed to go for a morning run...  check packages, go grocery shopping (OMG greek yogurt here is butt expensive), go to the beach (2 actually), meet up with some besties for dinner and another dinner at the house!

This morning, I didn't sleep well, I've been up since 4am, I'm sure one of these days, I'll crash and I'll be able to sleep properly, until then - Starbucks!  hahaha.

First picture back - 0611am.

New Reef slippahs my fav!

Last 24 hour in Spain...

My last 24 hours in Spain was just to enjoy and remind myself the 1,000 reasons I love Spain.  

Going back to my regular place for beers and of course tapas which ended up also including dinner and gin and tonics... well that's Rompeolas for you... Then again I was with great company. +Marcos Abel  (note take more pics when I drink with this guy)... 

Unfortunately, the pics nor this blog can't capture the awesomeness that is Rompeolas... Maybe +Elizabeth M will care to elaborate.

I'm going to miss the cafe con leche the most.  OMG.  I am going to live 6 months without cafe con leche.  OMG OMG OMG.  lol.  Special thanks to Minia for taking me to the airport!  xoxo.

ESLTalk - EOI Advanced English Summer Course - 2014

I've been teaching for 2 years now, as a language assistant.  Funny thing is if you asked my friends two years ago if I'd make a good English teacher - most of them would probably laugh in your face.

Now, two years later, I had my own class, the EOI Advanced English Summer Course and it was awesome.  Having my own class, with my lessons, my activities and my rules really allowed me to teach English in a different way.  

Fortunately, my students were receptive to my crazy antics and I've seen them improve and feel more comfortable in general with English.  

Thanks for having me, EOI and hopefully see you next summer!

Friends vs. Best friends.

Wow.  The last couple of days have been quite crazy, not really though, quite normal I guess when one is getting ready to move.

I am normally easy to get along with - sharp as always, but when I am stressed out, I do tend to lash out at comments which I think are obvious and doesn't help the equation.

Most of you probably know that I locked myself out of my apartment yesterday and just some of the comments (read previous posts), are just quite inappropriate (with my past mind set).

Anyways, its good to know who your friends are in a time of crisis.

and if this person thinks I am being mean when I locked myself out of my apartment, can you imagine what this person would do if I was in a real bind.

That's the thing about Best Friends - you love them 100%, even with the good, the bad, the crazy.

Needless to say, I probably won't make it a point to hang out with this person anymore.

Sort out what's making you angry?  Bitch I'm stressed out - your job as a friend is to a) help me or b) help me forget about it, not fucking tell me to FIGURE IT OUT.

Anyways.  Dedicated to all of my BFFs - those who still talk to me after I get a little (or a lot) NUTSO...
