HAWAII INFO
Hawaii's a state, Oahu's an island, Waikiki's a city in Oahu.
What I've learned:
1) People are cousins, same as sayin you're my bro.
2) Nicely tanned people.
3) Lots of trendy japanese tourists that on most labels and buildings, the japanese vocabulary is a prerequisite.
4) ABUNDANT AMOUNT OF HAPAS, damn I'll marry one someday.
5) Lots of HOT DAMNS, gotta say that.
6) Bums look nothin like bums, more like surfers, only when you see the police sweep them off at night will you see that they are bums
7) International Market is the number one place to purchase authentic hawaiin souvenirs at an affordable price, like way low compared to hotel deals.
8) ABC stores are at every corner in Waikiki, not even joking when I say that after 20 ft. you will see another ABC store, a 7-11 of Hawaii.

Hawaii 5-O
No recollection of time
Mornin I stayed in the hotel by myself packing up laundry and cleaning and fixing my luggage. A few minutes later I went to the hotel Gym and did some weight training, yeah ooooh ahhhhh. MAX was like 20 minutes there, tch tch, HAHA. Solo shopping I had to make last minute souvenir shopping and other personal shopping ish. After eating lunch I decided to get my fortune told, c'mon, in HAWAII it's only one time you'd do it right? The fortune teller did a 6 month reading, overall along with some minor broad info, I wasn't skeptical and felt rather freaked out with what I had. The coming 6 months was gonna be okay, believed in that, but the thing that freaked me was the personal life that came out where both of us neither expected or even me wanting to ask. Oh yeah she was doing TAROT cards in my fortune. But yeah on the readings the Card of ANGER, OVERINDULGENCE and PLEASURE kept on coming up. I shuffled the card as much as I can in every question that I pose and yet those cards kept on coming up. Someone is getting in my way of getting what I truly want to attain and the prob is that it's my decision to move that obstacle out of the way, shit. haha.
Coming back to the hotel at around 2 I took a nap and later on at 4:30 me and my sis went boogie boarding at the beach. Had skid marks and bruises all over, I couldn't ride a single wave. Even kids of 6 can ride a wave, my positive mind was telling me that prolly with enough practice I can do it later on. So that kept me going rather than struggle to get a wave. At around sunset we were still boogie boarding, my sis was at a distance and I was by myself with some people. Saw this HAPA chic, hot damn, anutherone o them. Awesome rider, she CAN ride the waves and an additional points for her being fine. IF only... haha. Dinner at 10, I finished packing and went to sleep. I'll finish the light packing tomorrow.

It's addicting when one has mulah, spent me money on impulse, on souvenirs and personal items. Souvenirs are cool, it's for the humankind, things for myself I consider it as greed, haha. 6 in the mornin I decided to go swimming in front of the hotel on the beach shores. Damn it was cold, the sun wasn't shining, I wanted it to be that way but I didn't expect it to be cold. Doin things solo ain't bad. Later on at lunch time I met them at a food court in the International Market where I decided to just shop with them and if I got bored or restless I can go my own way.
This day was good, I wasn't an ass, it was great for me and for the living being that would be in my way or 4 feet away from me. Like I said, better to do it my way. Spontaneity doesn't really work for parentals, they get panicky when something isn't in plan or in an agenda. My mom would panic like a mofo.
The sun was setting at around 6ish, that was a good scene. The trip's coming to a close, tomorrow would be the last day to do other things and the day after that would be in the airport. Tomorrow there's the decision to go on another tour guide, this time Pearl Harbor or going Snorkling in Hanauma Bay. I was wondering for a while and pondered that if we had a longer stay, would I have enjoyed this whole trip? I believe I come in stages. 1 ANAL, mid ENJOYMENT 3 GREAT GREAT TIME. Unfortunately I was near the mid area, I didn't have a great great time but I did have some fun. I plan to go here someday with friends to have a greater time.

Going and being in the Polynesian Culture Center
Today was semi-okay, didn't feel that much of an ass or a downer, I felt good...fer a bit that is. Hmm... would the great beyond er whatever punish me if I say that the trip would be better if it wasn't a family trip? But yeah rid of the family trip, there wouldn't be a trip to begin with yah?
I felt uncomfortable, I began getting anal again and wanted to leave this whole trip. The siblings had differences and the parentals are just tired, so nun's really enjoying it, well me, I'm not. It's the f'in tiring week, great that I'm out of the house, grateful that I'm here in Hawaii..s'just that I'd rather do things by my own thing or with a group of friends. The humid ass weather wasn't helping, j'know that people have high temper rates at high temperatures? Cops mentioned that violence are at a high in summertime. Heh, learned that in soph year, wooo there, flashback comin... Getting back to the hotel after the Polynesian show, I decided to walk around the city at 11 at night, Waikiki's still alive with people at the beach or walking around. My sis tagged along with me and the whole time she stabbed me with the obvious faults that I have. HINT: I AM: Stubborn, sulky, full of hypocrisy, a poser in many levels, pessimistic, overall anal, depress freak, a wet towel etc. SO it was a F'in waste to say all these faults that I already knew and felt everyday of my life. I wasted a leisure walk with her. Readers g'head and curse me, purty much deserve it since I'm wasting away precious time in a once in a life time experience, don't mind at all of the complaints, I do need feedback, why did I even get this site up duuhr.

LOG FOR THE 2nd day AUGUST 2, 2002
Yesterday on 8/2, we went on a shuttle tour around the Island of Oahu. Hint: Hawaii's an island, Honolulu's a city on the island of Oahu, Waikiki's a city in Oahu, Oahu's an island of Hawaii. I got mixed up at first seeing that I don't really know Hawaii that well, this cleared me up. We went through the pineapple fields of Dole, got introduced to the main flowers of Hawaii through houses and street sides and it became extremely repetitive on the tour guides part since he kept on mentioning it only the difference is the different colors, ooooooh. The tour was somewhat odd, the guide I guess took the tour in his own hands and introduced the flowers and history while passing by homes, if you think about it, WON'T YOU FEEL WEIRD if people were to take pictures of your garden? The shuttle had 16 people in all, 2 ladies were from San Francisco, dammit should've gotten their pictures. I know that one of them was named ROCHELLE, pretty obvious seeing that the BACK OF HER had the name TATTooed evenly, nice job. On the tour we went through the shoresides and got introduced to the locations of high surfs and surf shops, damn, the water was crystal blue, bluish green in shallow areas, yellow clean sand and corals visible through the shallowness. Later on that night we went to our next itinerary, to watch the SOCIETY OF SEVEN, a group of performers slash comedians slash singers, etc. It was entertaining, I was STILL OUT OF IT. You know what I looked er should I say felt like? okay, imagine the family movies, there's always the dark, gothic child who's not enjoying it and feeling too cool to be a part of the trip. Yep that was me only that I wasn't in the too cool phase but the social outcast, lonely type of ish. I wanted to do my own things on this trip, darn it.

I was hyped to go to Hawaii, didn't enjoy the part of being on the plane. I ENJOY being in an airport, the whole feeling of it's sick. The hassle's tge flight, it's uncomfortable being in the seats with my long, lanky body. I was almost close to being turned off, due to restlessness from being unable to sleep in the plane and yeah just.. arghh plane issues. I will someday when I am successful be in every first class so as to enjoy a good airplane ride, someday though, someday. Managed to reach Hawaii, the plane made a stop over Maui, we were going to Honolulu on Oahu. Today I felt out of it, I wasn't enthusiastic, no one WILL and CAN understand it. I was putting my family down with my anal attitude the whole day there. Oh yeah we arrived at around 12 in Waikiki. It was hot, I wanted to rest. I was ANAL like hell. In the late afternoon we went to our first Itinerary being on a large catamaran, a boat with a buffet and showcase. I met Angel from Milpitas on our way to the area in the bus ride. Way old my friends haha, I'm not desperate, but I did take a picture with her just to make it look like I'm a pimp later on when the pics are developed. The bus had a rowdy bunch, a group of friends from San Francisco, a crew, tch tch. They looked like a fun bunch. Now Bus number 4 and Billy Joel's song Just The Way You Are will be stuck in my head. The bus rides to the boat are in groups, and we were duuhr bus no. 4. Our bus lead was this hot lady named Syrean, hot damn, she was definately a hapa. HAPA's another term for mut, I'd rather use this term than naming someone like a dog. Plus I got the term from another hapa chic that I met last summer, haha. But yeah Syrean was hot, managed to dance in a group circle with her later on that night since the bus no.4 group won the cheering contest. I felt embarrassed though. Bus no.4 were divided into small circles and I was placed in with Syrean..and with old people. Smack in the middle of the boat we were forced to dance as our present to our loud behavior. Positive note would be that I WON't SEE the onlookers EVER AGAIN. Still the humiliation's embedded in my head, for others it's easy to shove off but fer some reason memories last a long time for me, a mixed blessing I say, I felt really embarrassed. That crew of people though that I saw, felt jealous inside, sighh.. someday I do wish for a rowdy group to liven up this old man. Waikiki's full of attractive japanese tourists and HAPAs, maaaan, it's a massive amount of hapas here, born from hawaii and travelling tourists as well. Honestly I was lonely going here, prolly one factor to my analness. A recurring theme, dammit just one close friend would do but yeah, WHERE ARE YOU!! I hope I have fun and take advantage of this vacation. Right now I'll be getting imaginary smackdowns for people, yeah I know Hawaii's a nice vacation, but if you're not into it, how can you enjoy it? I am grateful for being in the vacation so I'll try my best.

ERROR and my SOLUTION
unable to fix the problem that I created, I went around it. I created an archive section, although two recent entries are inside. So I decided to copy those entries and place it again on the recent page, to start from scratch on the hawaii trip. Meaning that Hawaii 1-O and Hawaii 2-O will be in the recent page and in the archive INTRODUCTION. Crap, I also realized my dates off, I thought Aug. 1 was a wednesday
