& that's the way life goes

This list is in no particular order.

• I’m an only child. This does NOT mean I’m spoiled, but I expect a lot of attention. But that does NOT mean I like to be the center of attention. (got that?)
• I truly enjoy daydreaming and reminiscing. If I have a glazed look in my eye please DO NOT DISTURB, I’m probably living my more adventurous life in my mind. Interrupting can be hazardous to your health.
• I was a quiet child, I went to karate class once and refused to go back because of the yelling.
• I still don’t like the yelling in Tae Kwon Do but I only shout when I test and I’ve learned to tune out other peoples shouts. (My dad is convinced it makes you breathe better, I think he’s full of shit, I breath just fine)
• It’s an ongoing joke at work that I’m a Cracker. My response is I can’t be a Cracker because I’m not exactly White (I’m 5/8 Filipino). Which is always retorted with “But you’re Irish” (my great granny was Irish so that makes me about 1/8 )
• I am now officially a certified dog trainer, but my dog’s are kind of bad because I put up with what most owners wouldn’t. (Haha I kid, they are pretty well-behaved)
• I got married in Hawaii, on a beach, with 17 of our family and friends
• I try to pretend I’m not a romantic, but underneath my sarcasm is a fairy princess waiting to be swept away.  (shhhhh don’t tell)
• College is mostly a blur because I had an asshole boyfriend who wasted my time and I was too naive to get rid of him.
• I lost my mom when I was 21 and I’m still trying to recover. I don’t really think it’s ever going to happen. I’ll be fractured for the rest of my life.
• I am constantly re-evaluating my life
• I have a very short attention span.
• Nani and Liko get their names from the Hawaiian Language. I think in a past life I lived there.  I might have also been a 1920′s flapper.
• Scooby’s original names on his adoption paperwork was Hank and then Scout. The lady at the Pet Expo thought he looked like Scooby Doo too so we changed his name. He will still answer to Hank.
• We bought a cottage 3 hours away from our house.  We are in the process of making it our own. I can’t wait to enjoy the summers there.
• I try to just live life and not take myself to seriously.
• I have an annoying habit of snapping my gum, I got it from my Mom.
• I have all my own hockey gear and I played for the first time in Tampa, Florida.
• I snowboard, wakeboard and recently tried surfing when we were in Kauai. The whole time I was on the surfboard I was thinking about sharks.
• I think that I am creative, but my fear of failure hinders my creativity.
• I once got wasted at work with one of the bosses and some other employees and passed out under a desk. Skipped class and got woken up at 6pm to exit the building. Contrary to this, I am a lightweight when it comes to alcohol and my friends make fun of me.
• Blogging has brought me close to amazing people.  I’m so glad to call them my friends.
• I’m terrified of things exploding, eating bad food and puking.
• When I am with my mom’s friends or family I don’t see very much, they often point out things that remind them of my mom.
