hi folks!

Today we went to the beach because yes i was DYING to go to the beach... i thought it was going to be sunny this afternoon on the coast, but it wasn't, it was cold (well chilly) and windy and totally overcast...but still soooooooooo great!!! anytime i go and walk in the ocean it makes me feel so good, better, even if it's cold out.

we went to the little beach in Oxnard that we found accidentally once when we were driving around there randomly... i love that beach. it's off the beaten path (compared to most public beaches in the LA area i feel) and it's got great rocks and feels a little secluded...perfect for quiet beach enjoying. there were a few surfers as the waves were BIG, and it was great that i got to sit and watch them. the water was as cold as ice water so of course i couldn't go in (no wetsuit!!) but a big wave did splash me all the way over my waist as i was sitting on the shore writing in my journal (amazingly my notebook didn't get too wet, haha!) but even though it was freezing, i laughed and loved it because i just love the ocean!!! it is my friend! :D

and i decided once and for all that i AM moving to hawai'i and i AM going back to school, so....there. it's been 2 and a half years that i've been talking about it, and i finally decided that well haha...i'm worth it! and i guess 2.5 years is long enough to prove that it is something i really want to do.

so there it is. whew! feels good. now i can dig out my old notebooks and pick up where my hawai'i planning left off in 2004. so approximately 2 years from now, i plan to make the move. let's see what happens between now and then!! a lot can change (for sure!)

i am SO jealous of my brother's (jwwjr) new house and new puppy! >___< i want a house and a puppy!!! i want a jindo dog so bad and there are ALWAYS people walking them around my neighborhood and i'm so jealous! feh!! but no house (or even new apt) and no dog for me until i move out of los angeles. and back from hawai'i. -_- so it will be quite some time. OH WELL, RIGHT? XD

so last night we ate at kobe ramen in lil tokyo because WE LOVE THAT PLACE and everytime we eat there it is soooo good and makes us so happy and satisfied feeling. and as soon as we walked in, the funny waiter saw us and pointed to the wall and my kitty picture was still on the wall!! :D yay me! he had me draw another picture to put on the clipboard of customer pictures bye the lucky neko. he said 'do you want it on the wall, or the clipboard?' and i said clipboard cause i think having 2 pics on the wall is just too much! i can't compete with his great drawings ^_^ haha. ohhh food was soooooooo good~~

so on the way out (it was um 1130 pm) i looked int he window of the used book/gifts store nearby and saw a SO CUTE early 80's kodansha manga with adorable little kids on the front (in the early 80's manga style i love) and decided i had to have it so john said we'd come back the next day to get it before we went to the beach (he's so great) BUT

we came this morning at 11:30 and they werne't open!!! >_< nooo! and i peeped in the door and they had a pile of mail that looked a month old so i don't know when they'll be open again. john took down the number and i'll call them sometime cause.....i have to have that book! T_T too bad i didn't taken down the title....i should have! blah. only know it was published by kodansha..........................~

i have been on a clothes buying spree lately because i have been wanting things in a different style than i've worn for the last 6-7 years....so now i TOTATLLY need to get rid of some things...i have i think 12 pairs of jeans which is just OUTRAGEOUS. at least i buy most things used, so i don't pay more than 5-7$ for stuff. oh and Sonya (my boss) gave me a ton of free stuff from C & C California which i totally love!!!! i was so excited cause i like their stuff but it's out of my price range (which is "under $10" haha) she's so nice. i love my boss!

did i post a link to our website? i can't remember. here it is!

ha! what else did we do today? we went to fry's (in oxnard) and bought the new TOOL cd and a wireless card for john's new (doug's old) laptop. and i got some rainbow barrettes at the 99cent store. oh at fry's they had metal DDR pads out and.....ohhhhhhhhhhh.....COVET. i want one soooooooooooooo bad! but no! it is not an expense for right now. poo! at the store i tried out the sample and tried to do one of my favorite songs (butterfly!) on the hardest level, just like i used to do...and i couldn't even get my brain to follow the arrows, much less my feet! ;_; kind of sad when you find some skill you used to do so well you can't even do anymore. sad to lose knowledge! like calculus. i used to do know how to do calculus. really. i couldn't do it now. i wouldn't even know where to start.

ok i had something to do before bed but i can't remember what it is so i'm just gonna go put some clothes away. oh yeah i found a shell with a hole in it at the beach today and i'm gonna go crochet a necklace for it.

goodnight all~~~~ ^^
