LifeTalk - 32nd Birthday! Lucky Okole!

What an awesome birthday!  Seriously!  I wish more of you were here to help me celebrate, but with the pictures you've sent, I definitely feel you spirit with me!  Of course, I am going to torture you first before I show you the final collage!

Alright, my day started innocently enough, emails, an extra 2 hours in bed, light breakfast, phone calls, texts.

First duty... lunch!  Well, of course today was mostly composed of food, and of course you're not surprised (are you?!) Alright, first stop... seafood - or no see food? 

After demolishing crabs, corn, potatoes, muscles, scallops and dessert... 

Next stop, one of my favorite places on Earth, filled with gourmet products in abundance - Costco! ha ha, I had to buy soy milk and buy this CD (of course!)

Well, one of my favorite things to do that I haven't had a chance to partake in a while is you've guessed it... (or maybe not...) and hey, doesn't look like I'm a bad shot either, ey?

Ha! Well, after the range, a little bit of a quick relaxation time, an guess what - its that time again!  Time to eat!  Not just eating though, being in the presence of really great friends, good food and some alcohol. Yes, I know I look like I just woke up, but hey... I'm in Florida - no need to dress to impress! lolz  Although everyone looked like they just left work and I looked like I was in the Northwest and I just finished hiking, with drawstring pants and a walking shoes.

Alright alright... you're here for the collage...

Oh wait. I'll be updating this another time to add pictures of the birthday cards I received!

Thanks so much for my birthday cards, presents, thoughts, phone calls, texts, tweets and just all the love.!  .

Ok, thanks for getting this far.  =D  Here is my favorite birthday present ever.  Yes, I received tons of pictures, but most of those weren't shot for me.  They were for an even or for your own personal use.  I wanted a picture of you just for me, and boy you guys are creative!  Some of you used your phone to add a note, made a cake and of course puppies! OMG.  Yes, I was emotional making this collage.  <3 you all. Thank you so so much.

Until next time.

LifeTalk - Happy 32nd Birthday To Me!

Aloha everyone,

I can't believe it, as of today I am 32.  Another year wiser.  This past year has really taught me a lot about relationships and personal growth.  I am truly blessed to have loving friends and family through this journey - even through my temper tantrums, (o_O) which fortunately are having less frequently the more I age.

So what do I have planned today?!  This morning, I am planning to go for a run (yes, it is really therapeutic for me), go for a massage, head to the gun range, take a nap, and have dinner.

What's up ahead for me in the next year? Well, to be honest, who knows? I'm living life from day to day taking advantage of opportunities, while napping in the process.  I'm very lucky to have this fluidity in my life, and that is due to the strong foundation of friends and family that I have.

I probably don't say this enough, but I truly do love you all (except for when I'm hungry).

Hugs and Kisses from FLORIDA!

If you haven't sent your picture with a Happy Birthday Max sign - send it soon! 

I'll be creating my collage this week!

FriendTalk - Happy Graduation Class of 2012!

Yes, it is that time of the year.  The time of the year you realize that you should have started working out sooner.  The time of the year when birds wake you up way too early.  The time of the year where traffic is more plentiful than normal and gas prices are higher.  

Summer is a comin' y'all!

With summer a comin' plenty of other things has a came as well.  o_O I'm just making up words now.

One of those things is graduation!  Yes, special graduate shoutout to:

Maya Mulvilhill - University of Hawaii at Manoa

Michelle Morales - University of Hawaii at Manoa

Jerica Catoera - University of California - Irvine

and 

Hosanna Policarpio - Art Institute of Tampa

While, I wasn't able to attend all the graduations! Primarily due to airfare costs, I hope you guys got your graduation cards! =D

To the class of 2012.  Times are a lot different, find your happiness, pursue your dreams, and go away (lol meaning travel somewhere)!

I was lucky enough to graduate one - and somewhat contemplating if I should have attended my own graduation (meh.)

TechTalk - Selling my iPad (again!)

Yes, I know.  I've had 3 different iPads, and this time its no different.  I really miss playing with the apps, but now that I'm in graduate school, I find that I spend too much time playing games that I probably shouldn't be playing.  Random games that involve flicking of my fingers to increase my score, or growing something has become monotonous and these games merely has a different them to them.  

Going back to playing games on my Xbox and selling my iPad.

Anyone want one?!  64GB with 3G! =D

Who knows, I am really looking forward to the new Windows 8 tablets.  Or trying out a ICS Android tablet.

LifeTalk - Guess what?

ha ha! I can't believe I'm posting about this instead of telling everyone via text or phone call, so if you're reading this you're going to have a June exclusive. HA HA, I'll probably start telling everyone in July or even later!

I got a job offer in Spain!  Galicia, Spain to be exact.

Details forthcoming...  Now go google it! o_O
