To be honest, I suck at introductions, especially for these yearly wrap-up posts, because it’s the same thing over and over again. We’ve survived another year, yay! What’s next? I’m not going to lie and say that 2024 was easier than 2023. I mean, financial-wise, it was easier because I had my state job to... Continue Reading →
I’m still in shock that 2023 is almost over; where did the time go? At the beginning of the year, I was still working at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida for my Disney College Program. After that ended in early January, I moved back home to Hawaii and was practically jobless... Continue Reading →
I don't even know where to begin! 2022 has been one big roller coaster ride for me. It started on a high note because I bought Deep Purple’s Burn (1974) on CD at Hungry Ear Records in early January. Then, I had to leave it and all my other CDs behind in mid-March because I... Continue Reading →
On Wednesday, March 9, 2022, I left for Florida at around 10:48 p.m. The first flight was about five hours, so I watched two movies, Ratatouille (2007) and Couples Retreat (2009). We had a layover in Los Angeles and that flight was about four hours. However, our gate was delayed due to bad weather, so... Continue Reading →
It’s that time again, where I reflect on this past year and honestly, 2021 was a lot better than 2020! I mean, how could it not be? I bought a lot more CDs to add to my CD collection, I graduated from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, I’m on my third writing internship (which... Continue Reading →
First of all, I know I had a collage for last year's post reflecting on 2019, but I didn't do that for 2020 because I didn't do much other than write on my blog, watch a lot of YouTube, and listen to bands such as Def Leppard, AC/DC, Metallica, and Iron Maiden. So nothing special, to be... Continue Reading →
On Monday, Nov. 30, I turned 22 years old, and no, I did not sing Taylor Swift's "22" that day. But it was a great day; I got to see my grandma, I had chicken katsu from L&L for lunch, two of my Amazon CDs came in, I had spring rolls and fried shrimp for... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since I talked about Steve Clark, but he was an incredible individual. I've never met him, but I wish I did. He has changed my perspective on life and the way I look at different types of music, specifically rock and heavy metal music. I won't get into how Clark died... Continue Reading →
Music has always been therapeutic for me, especially now more than ever. There has been a lot of stress and worrying going on with the coronavirus outbreak; with schools shutting down and people losing their jobs temporarily, it's hard not to live in fear for what the future holds in store for us. Though it... Continue Reading →
From making new friends to my Disney Ohana Club's Parks and Resorts themed banquet for Spring 2019, to new responsibilities, to Def Leppard to seeing Frozen 2 in theaters, to Star Wars, to new beginnings! As the New Year is right around the corner, I thought it'd be fun to talk about my thoughts on 2019 and... Continue Reading →
