Enjoying the continuous journey of self discovery. And hula dancing. I ♥ my hula sisters at Kekaiulu. I ♥ vacations, weekends, paid time-off, and days that I get to sleep in. I usually have a hobby or interest that I obsess about. My previous obsession was pole dancing. While it was fun to learn all the fun tricks, it was a pricey hobby. So this seasons' obsession is: raw foods. Yup, I eat like a hippie. What do you expect? I have a very hippie-like name! But back to my obsession, I've been making raw meals, attending raw food lectures, taking raw food prep classes, and reading raw food books. I've only been raw since November but there's a big part of me that feels like this is going to be a part of my lifestyle.
I like to see the world outside of the spaces that I'm used to. I've done a bit of traveling in the past 2 years. Within a 17 month period I managed to visit 10 different foreign countries!
If I know you, send me a message. I like reuniting with people. Especially if you're a lot cooler now than you were before...maybe that's why we lost touch :P
As of 5/6/08 I've been listening to:
Adele
Amy Winehouse (thanks to Ben McCain who sings "Rehab" so loudly at work)
Bitter:Sweet
Claudia Koreck (who I discovered while cruising around Europe)
Coco Steel & Lovebomb
Dimitri in Paris
Duffy
Ian Pooley (another Euro trip discovery)
Michael Franti & Spearhead
Koop (again, from cruising the Baltic Sea)
Mr. Scruff
Nicola Conte
Truby Trio
...and anything on KCRW.
The last movie I saw in the theaters was Forgetting Sarah Marshall. (except that it wasn't and that I took my mom to see a chick flick for mother's day.)
I like to laugh. Movies that make me laugh: Anchorman, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Napoleon Dynamite, Nacho Libre, Team America, School Of Rock, Superbad, Juno.
You're cool if you can figure out what movie my headline is from.
Project Runway, Tim Gunn's Guide to Style, How to Look Good Naked, Millionaire Matchmaker, Make Me A Supermodel, Top Chef.Love, love, LOVE reruns of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air!I used to not understand British comedies but I think spending 10 days with a boat full of Canadian passengers cruising around Europe has expanded my humerous horizons. And now I haven taken a fancy towards watching BBC America and using words like "fancy". This show called "Coupling" is very cleverly written! Oh man, I'm using words like "clever" too. Words like "fancy" and "clever" can only be said in a British accent! ENGLISH MUFFIN!!!
I think I have book ADD because I buy too many books then try to read them simultaneously. Here's a list of the latest books I got & currentely reading:
"The Sunfood Diet" by David Wolfe
"Amazing Grace" by David Wolfe & Nick Good
"Strengths Finder 2.0" by Tom Rath
"The Raw Transformation" by Wendy Rudell
"The Raw Life" by Paul Nison
"Raw Food Real World" by Matthew Kenney & Sarma Melngailis
Mama Lucy 1919-2007. She rescued my aunt & my mom, as well as herself during the attacks in the Philippines during WWII. She's a real hero! I love her so much and I miss her everyday.
