I am here for Friends

About Me


I've had enough drama to last me a lifetime.
What you see, is what you get.
I'm a simple, no-nonsense person.
Thrifty, practical, efficient, and goal oriented.
I'm a happy person, always trying to look at the positives in a situation. No negativity please!
I *love* my job! I *love* my life!
I'm a thinker, but when I come home, I don't want to solve the world's problems. Wanna veg, hang out, let my hair down and have fun! :)
Will try *almost* anything once. (been skydiving twice!)
I know lots of useless information and am more than happy to share it with everyone around me! :D
Love sappy romantic comedies. *sigh*
Love to get food from roadside stands: taco trucks, lunchwagons, fruit stands, ice cream trucks, fresh caught or dried fish in a cooler from the side of the road in Waiamanalo or Nanakuli.
Can't live without my treadmill!
Hot Yoga kicked my ass!
Hate Korean Dramas...if you like them, more power to you.
---
I love driving around on a warm day with the window down and the A/C lightly blowing in my face and sleeping in on stormy mornings.
---
The best things in life contain fat, meat, salt, and/or sugar.
Carbs are optional.

Words to live by:

    Do what you can with what you got.
    You should never have to try to change anyone...especially yourself.
    Doing it over is more expensive, harder, and takes more time than doing it right the first time.
    Deciding is the first step to becoming.
    Don't take a test you know you're going to fail.
    Don't ask a question you don't want the answer to.
    Accumulating wealth is not a matter of how you save your money, but rather, how you spend it.
    A penny saved is a penny earned.
    Keep your eye on the wave, don't ever turn your back o/~
    Fake it 'til you make it.
    An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
    Showing up is half the battle.
    If a man wants you, nothing can keep him away (except maybe a TRO)...if he doesn't, nothing can make him stay.
    You cannot change a man's behavior, change comes from within.
    Things are only as important as you want them to be.
    You can't win, if you don't play.
    Where you start doesn't determine where you'll finish.
    What you want isn't always what you need, and what you need isn't always what you *think* you want.
    A relationship should enrich your life, not complicate it.
    You are free to believe in stones, as long as you do not throw them at me.
    Do what you love, love what you do.
    Don't make someone a priority who only makes you an option.
    You can't be played, if you're not playing.
    Work like you don't need the money, love like your heart has never been broken, and dance like no one is watching.
    If you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you're getting.
    Take the good with the bad, and work with what you have.
    When you choose the behavior, you choose the consequences.
    Necessity is the mother of invention.
    50% of the solution to any problem is identifying the problem.
    You cannot change the cards you are dealt, just how you play the hand.
    When it comes to men, that are romantically interested in you: just ignore everything they say, and only pay attention to what they do. It's that simple.
    Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
    The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something...the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough.
    It is better to fail spectacularly, than to pass along and do something which is mediocre.
    You just have to decide if you’re a Tigger or an Eeyore.
    Tell the truth...all the time.
    Be prepared. Luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity.
    It’s not about how to achieve your dreams. It’s about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.
    Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
    If you don't have time to do it right, then you don't have time to do it wrong.
    The essence of making effective presentations:
    * Ethos -- your personal credibility.
    * Pathos -- the empathic side.
    * Logos -- the logic.

Pet Peeves:

    bad spellers (well, particularly misspelling on "official" documents)
    ppl not knowing the difference between things like: were & we're, to & too, then & than and there, their & they're
    smelly people
    e-mailer using all caps
    liars
    incompetence
    dim light
    indecisiveness

Things to think about:

  • Why can't legal names have numbers in them?
    Why doesn't two and two equal to twenty-two?
    If you hang your watch on the wall, is it then called a clock?
    Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darkens our skin?
    Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
    Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
    Why is "abbreviated" such a long word?
    Why is it that doctors call what they do "practice?"
    Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?
    Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
    Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
    Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
    Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
    Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
    You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff?!
    Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
    Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
    If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
    If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?

  • My Interests

    I'd like to meet:

    Honestly, Honesty.
    Someone with ambition, confidence (but not self-centered or arrogant), goals, dreams, and a heart. Someone who can make me feel safe and secure in their arms. Great smiles are a plus (bonus for dimples), and so are people who can make me laugh (not just think that they're funny) and make me cry all in the same breath. Looking for a fun and energetic someone...boring people need not apply!

    Someone who is balanced:

      secure enough to be vulnerable
      strong enough to be gentle
      wise enough to be humble
      powerful enough to serve others


    ---

    Make new friends, but keep the old...one is silver and the other gold.
    A circle is round it has no end...that's how long I wanna be your friend.

    The worst thing about love is realizing the one you want to be with is already gone.
