If I Die Young...

I'm not really sure why I've been listening to this a lot recently, but I think its a beautiful song.

My favorite lyrics of the song.

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time when you're really gonna need 'em, oh

Blogging Schmlogging

 ha ha... I know, slackeroneous.

Dominican Republic...
So what's going on?  Well I'll be blogging about my short holidaycation to Dominican Republic, it was an amazing experience, in addition I gained a new travel buddy - something that is harder to find than a $100 bill on the street!  Quick funny story... Alright, well I'm use to being stared at when I travel, whether its Guatemala, here in Florida or Dominican Republic - yes I am quite different.  Well, this time, I really got stared at... A LOT.  In Caberete (Dominican Republic), we were hanging out by the pool, and there was a lady who asked where I was from.  I just said "Hawaii" - trying to explain where I was born and all my moving around wasn't really in my mental capacity at this point.  She asked me if it was typical for guys to dye their hair... and I said, sure, I'm a surfer, we dye our hair.  Then she said, oh ok, here in Republica Dominican - only women dye their hair.  o.O

Florida...
Alright, well living here in Florida has been pretty cool so far.
I pretty much got all the packages I mailed to myself, with the exception of my Xbox and my video games.I think I'm settling in quite well, haven't really met other people for new friends but I'm not too worried about that - all in due time.  Ok, besides getting back into shape - yes the day after my vacation, I ran 7 miles this morning, I've also had opportunities to explore St. Petersburg.

I've already been to the Dali museum (WOW!), watched Flamenco Dancers, went to the local bar - Georgie's, various other restaurants - such as O'Maddy's Bar and Grille in Gulfport, Gratzzie's Ristorante, Olive Garden, Ikea (lol), Cassis American Brasserie, Babylos Cafe (Lebanese food)

Valentine's Day...
Special thanks to Maura Shannon and Michelle Morales!  Thanks for my Valentine's Day card... I feel SOOOO special! :]

I'll be definitely writing a lot more... Big hugs to all of you!

HI to FL & Monthly Challenge

Seriously, I can't believe I've been here for only a couple of days.  Things are going so fast...

Ok, so what I have been up to recently?! 

What a small world.  I use to host people from Couchsurfing and Hospitalityclub in Hawaii when I use to live in my old apartment... and yes one of my guests lives here now in St. Pete... Ms. Sarai.

OMG. it was so nice to catch up with her, we went to dinner in Gulfport - called O'Maddy's (yes add me on Yelp! I've been checking in EVERYWHERE).  Dinner was beyond delicious, can't wait to go back there.  After dinner, we took Cassis dessert to go and we went back to her restaurant for a couple of drinks... met some cool peoples!  Then guess what! Went go George's Alibi to watch RPDR Season 3, and even a show afterwards!  Lots of alcohol and lots of food.

So basically no more drinking for a while. 

Today was quite productive... moved stuff from the old house to the new and unpacked a bit.  Then attended an orientation meeting to become a teacher here in the State of Florida.  Interesting, in 1 year, I can become a certified teacher here in the State of Florida (molding the future of tomorrow... bwah hahhh ah hhaha)

Oh and I had Olive Garden for Dinner.  WHAT WHAT!

Monthly challenge - Whipping back into shape.

Its actually really cool this month, the whole house is working out, I just write the workout schedule on the board and yes, everyone will do it.  GO TEAM!  I will be pretty much running every single day or some sort of cardio as well as do other exercises.  Need to get myself ready for Dominican Republic - I'll probably run out there as well. :)

Alright... yes... no pictures.  ugh (lame, I know), but I'll take pictures with Sarai tomorrow so you get to meet her... :)

Hugs.  Sorry so short, I need to get ready for bed!
