As you know, I went out with Jodi last night. We had a blast! We stayed out till about 3am … only because I had to be at work by 8am and I wanted to sleep. Jodi has a lot of energy. Sometimes I envy her, but I would NOT trade in the life I have today for her lifestyle. The things she do and has done … I’ve been there, done that. I got kids now, and they are my life. Anyway, we went club hopping. I have to say men are pigs … well, not all of them. I love dancing, and when I go out to clubs I love freaking. Well, Jodi likes to freak as well, especially with other women (duh). We were just having a ball on the dance floor with all the looks we were getting from guys (and some stink looks from other women). Just because we dance a certain way does not mean we’re sluts, let alone easy … and no, we will not go home with you to have a threesome. And if you can’t take rejection, stay home and play with yourself. So, the women called us sluts … we just laughed at them. Why is it that two good friends can’t go out without being called names? It all boils down to jealousy/lack of self-esteem. I could care less of what people think about me. If they don’t like me, they’d better have a fucking good reason why. As the night went on, phone numbers were given out. Yeah, I gave my number out … hehe … actually what they got from me was the number to the State Mental Hospital that I always keep on me for such an occasion. I didn’t get any phone calls today … hehe.

Hmmm … I finally got in touch with Jodi since I last saw her early this morning. I think she got lucky. I pity the guy she was with. I wonder if she drew blood … haha. No, seriously … she’s into that shit. I like biting, drew some blood myself several times, but not to the capacity she’s accustomed to. Anyway, she hasn’t given any details yet, but she did hook up with someone.

Today I finally got to see what all the hype was about. I took my son to see the movie “Pearl Harbor”. All I can say is that the movie should have ended differently. Like with the bombing of Hiroshima, or something to that effect. Overall, it was a pretty good movie. Chris enjoyed it. I remember when they were here last year filming it. I would be at my gym that overlooks the harbor, and you could see the planes and some smoke and stuff. I’d like to know what part of the movie they considered offending. It’s been reported that the version of the movie they were sending to Japan and Germany was edited for fear of offending the two countries. Pfff, they got to be kidding. It’s just a freakin movie.

One last thing before I head out of here. Welcome home Logi. Logi went to Cancun for a couple of days, and now she’s back. She got back just in time to be infuriated by the temporary shut down of this blog site.
A big mahalo to all of you readers who were patient and stuck-out the three days. Hope all of you are having a great Memorial Day Weekend …

Spock you later,
Hapa

Hawaiian Phrases of the Day:

'O wai kou inoa? - what is your name?

'O ___ ko 'u inoa. - my name is ____.

Hola 'enia keia? - what time is it?

Aia i hea ka lua. - where is the bathroom?

Well, she's finally here ... Jodi got in at 1:10pm today. I had the honor of picking her ass up at the airport. As I went to give her a lei and a hug, she grabbed me by my face and planted one on me. You should have seen some of the expressions on people's faces ... hehe. I, on the other hand, was speechless. Jodi has NEVER tried something like that on me before. She used to pester me about it, and I think she got a kick out of my reaction ... that bitch. At this moment she's sitting next to me laughing her ass off. The first thing she wanted to do was eat. At her request, we went for some Hawaiian food. After lunch, we went to her father's home in Aiea. Jodi's mom passed away 16 years ago from breast cancer, and it's been just her and her dad ever since. I left about a half-hour later so she could catch up with her dad. We’re going out as soon as I finish my entry.

This is the third day that Blogger has been down. That sucks … it kinda puts a damper on a bet I have going with a few of my friends. The bet was that by June 15, my counter had to show a count of 300. If I reached the goal, I got some cash coming to me. If I didn’t make it, the 10 people I had the bet with all got a full body massage by me. They’re not sympathetic to my situation, I think it’s only fair that the date gets extended to match the days that were lost. It’s ok tough, payback is a bitch if I lose … I do deep tissue and Swedish … they’re going to HATE the deep tissue.

So, I’m out of here. Hope the Hawaiian phrases come in handy. It’s going to be an interesting night. Something tells me that I should call in sick for tomorrow … I’m suppose to be at work at 8am. Oh well …I’ll catch you all later!

A hui hou kakou,
Hapa

I should have stayed home…

Well, as you all remember, I went golfing today …if THAT’S what you could call it. It was a beautiful day. Our tee time was at 7:45am. I am NOT a morning person. It takes awhile for me to wake up. Not only did we have an early tee time; they wanted breakfast on top of that! Which meant I had to get up earlier than I wanted to. We all had breakfast at this place called Zippy’s. They make a mean mushroom omelet. I had the munchies for waffles, but their waffles SUCK! Just ask golfer dude … hehe. Anyway, I got there, and the bunch of them all had smirks on their faces. Those fuckers. They know I HATE the early morning. Once I got my hot chocolate with a splash of coffee, I was fine. Then it was off to West Loch.
I got to ride with Andy. I haven’t seen Andy since he came back for his 20th high school reunion three years ago. My friend Ghost also went golfing this week. In his blog he had a glossary of terms you might hear at the golf course. Believe me, you didn’t hear me say any of his words. I had my own realistic bunch of words I used today … heh. I can’t swing a club if my life depended on it. I can putt. Anything beyond 10 feet, however, and I’m fucked. I did have fun, and that’s the main thing. Will my friends ever invite me to go golfing again? Who knows. If they do invite me, it would most definitely a form of entertainment for them.

It was a slow day today, and I don’t have really anything else to share. I have a PTSA newsletter to publish after I sign off, so I guess I will bid you Auf Wiedersehen.

Aloha,
Hapa

The countdown begins…

As of 1:40pm Hawaii Time today, I got a message on my machine that my husband was served with the divorce papers. Yeehaw! Now, I don’t like to rely on phone messages, so I will call my lawyer to confirm the joyous event. If this true, that my ass of a husband was served, then I should be a single woman in a matter of 4-5 weeks. I also got news the other day that he will be leaving the island to go back home to Missouri by the end of the week. I am crossing my fingers. Wow … two excellent news in the same week …what’s a girl to do?? Party! I will most definitely party starting on the day I hold those divorce papers in my hands.

I called in sick today. Damn sinus infection is kicking my ass. I hardly get sick, but when I do, I get sick … really sick. The weather we’re having doesn’t help either. It’s been hot and muggy. They say it’ll be like this for the next couple of days. Great. Looks like it’s gonna be a long hot summer.

Last year there was a car accident that took the life of a 19-year-old female. It made the news because the guy who killed her was a retired cop. He was drunk at the time. According to witnesses, he ran a red light and smashed into the other car. When cops arrived, he denied taking the Breathalyzer. Investigations found that he was at least in two bars that evening before he got into his car and killed the 19-year-old. It’s now about 7 months later, and he now has the nerve to sue the woman’s family for damages to HIS car. Nevermind that he took their daughter’s life. Nevermind that he has NEVER showed any remorse for what he’s done. Nevermind that to this day he STILL insists the accident wasn’t his fault. He needs to get his fucking head out of his ass and own up to what he has done. He thinks he should get special privileges just because he was a cop. Bullshit! What’s funny is that he left the islands because he couldn’t handle all the talk that was going around. Boo hoo … get over it buddy … at least you still have your sorry of an excuse of a life. And by the way my readers, he now lives in Oregon. He has been brought up on charges of manslaughter. I hope they find his miserable ass GUILTY!

Blogger was down for a couple of days so by the time you read this entry, it’ll probably be like two days later. So stop e-mailing me Don, you’re getting on my last nerve … hehe …just kidding, you know I love your ass.

Ok, so I get online tonight to make an entry on my blog. I get two instant messages from two of my friends, Bitchboy and Pebs. Pebs was like “we were wondering where you were”, or something to that effect. Apparently they found someone who was of “clip and paste” material. I guess I gained the reputation of being a clip and paste artist. People I don’t know would send me a message, and depending on my mood I would start up a conversation with them. If things went well … meaning if the conversation got all fucked up … to my advantage … I would then clip the message and paste it to an e-mail and send it out to everyone we know. I’ve had some fun times doing that. There are some weird people out there.

I’m going to end here … the meds I’m on is starting to kick in and I am off to bed.

Laters,
Hapa

A big “hi” to all my friends from the Truth or Dare room … thanks for visiting my site. I just wanted to say welcome to Chad, David, Alika, Darin, Cuz, Jason, and Brian … 7 of my new readers that I met tonight at work. They came in and sat at the bar and had a few while watching the basketball game on TV. They made the last two hours at work fly by … thanks guys. After work, I joined Alika, Chad and Darin at a place called Chez Moniques. We met up with a few other people. I had one drink and went on my way. If it weren’t for this damned chest congestion, I would have stayed longer. Next time guys.

Speaking of friends … I’ve never really had a lot of them. I have a handful that I consider true friends, the rest are just acquaintances. I’ve never really got along with women. All of the good friends I had growing up were mainly male. A factor that got me into trouble a lot, especially as we entered high school. Why you ask? Well, once they started having girlfriends, they would get jealous of our close relationship and would want to pick a fight with me. My response would always be the “if I wanted your man, I could have had anytime before you came around” speech. I guess I got along better with guys because I grew up with predominant male presence. I have one younger brother, 4 stepbrothers, and the neighborhood I grew up in had mostly guys. I learned a lot hanging out with them. I learned how to bodyboard, fish, skateboard, play football and basketball, and as we got older, I learned what they wanted in a chick … lol.

There are three women that I consider being my ultimate best friends. They are Mary, Malia, and Jodi. I want to focus on Malia and Jodi for a bit. I met Malia in Kindergarten and Jodi in the second grade. I am probably the only person in the whole world, next to her mom and dad that Malia will let call her by her given name. That would be ESTELLE. Not even her husband is allowed to call her by THAT name. No matter how far apart we are, we will, and always will, be there for each other. I was crushed when she and her husband left the islands to move to Colorado back in March of 1999. Her husband got a promotion that required his transfer. She was the last in our circle of friends that left the islands. I’m here all by myself now. Boo hoo. Everyone else is scattered pretty much around the world. As for Jodi, what can I say about Jodi … she’s freaky, ok? Jodi is a flight attendant. I’m lucky to see her once a year. She’ll be in town on the 25th. I can hardly wait. I haven’t seen Jodi in like 3 years. Jodi is Bi. She’s been trying to get me to get together with her ever since our Senior year. Actually, she’s been trying to get me to have a threesome with her and whomever else want to join in. When in town, Jodi likes to hang out at The Dungeon. I wonder if it’s still there. And yeah, THE question was brought up again. Jokingly I told her, just to shut her up once and for all, that I would … I lied … sorry toots. I can’t wait till she gets here. I wish Malia could be here too. The last time the three of us were together was at my first wedding. That was 15 years ago. Malia and Jodi were my clubbing buddies. We were hitting the clubs since we were in the 9th grade. The legal drinking age back then was 18. Flirting with the bouncers can do wonders … so does the right amount of makeup. Jodi will be in town for 4 days. We got plans. I can’t wait.

I heard something on the radio this morning that cracked me up. It was mostly all the post-premiere party gossip. They said Dennis Rodman was in town for the viewing. Funny, he WASN’T invited … so they said. He was DENIED access to the ship. I guess not even certain “stars” have privileges they think they may have. The DJ’s were even making fun of Courtney Love, who WAS invited. How the hell was she tied into the movie? She’s not in the movie and not on the soundtrack. Even Gold medallist Michelle Quan was there. It sounded like all had fun.

It’s time for this chicky to head off to bed. Have a good night, and I’ll catch you tomorrow.

Hapa

Another day, another dollar…

Work was a breeze tonight. I’m back to bartending two nights a week, Mondays and Tuesdays. A pharmaceutical company comes in every so often to display their products to potential doctors. They peddle stuff for allergies like Allegra. All I had to do for them was to take phone orders for take out. The doctors would call in to order their dinner, and all I did was put it together. One hours work. The final bill came to $300; I got tipped 20% of that.

Tonight was the premiere of “Pearl Harbor”. I was driving by Richardson Field earlier today, which is practically throwing distance from the USS John C. Stennis, and there were people already there camped-out with their tripods. From what they said about the speaker system that was going to be used tonight, you could here the movie up to at least ½ a mile away. The movie screen is 6 stories high. I’ve heard that people were going to go down to watch the movie from some of the parks in the area. Two best bets were Richardson Field and the other would have been Aiea Bay Recreation Park. As I write, the movie is STILL rolling. It’s about 3 hours long. They’re going to have a fireworks display following the credits. Looking at my watch, I have about 25 minutes to haul my ass down to watch it with my friends.

Lately I have been having issues with trust, honesty, and friendships. Several weeks ago I went out and met some friends at Rumours. We were all having a good time dancing and being merry. All of a sudden shit went down which really opened my eyes as to whom my real friends were. I have always been up front with people I consider to be my friends. I’m very blunt and a lot of times I get into trouble because of it. Anyway, two women in particular I have been close with since February … or at least I thought we were close. They were making me feel rather uncomfortable pretty much all week leading up to that night. Looking back, the only thing I could think of that may have offend one of them was a comment I made about a guy she was “seeing”. He’s a fucking ass. Just about everything out of her mouth about him was how much of an ass he was. If he’s that much of an ass, I say dump him. I’ll support anyone I care for … just don’t contradict everything you say. If the comment I made pissed her off so much, she should have told me so. If things were reversed, she would have gotten an earful from me. As I think about it, I have made MANY comments about this jerk and I never got the treatment I did that week. Something doesn’t add up, and I could care less. I think I have the right to know why they are pissed at me. A far as I know, I did nothing to them. These women are 36 and 40-something. They act like they’re in high school. Just leave me the hell alone … one less headache I say.

I get my new furniture tomorrow … I can’t wait. One of the new items will be a computer desk. I’m REALLY tired of sitting on the floor to type. I’m also getting a new couch, a washer, and a surround sound stereo system for the TV. Once I get all that in, I’m going to start to have friends over.

Hey, whatever happened to South Park? Are they still showing it??

All I can say is that this chick had a LONG day. I just got the call that I’m being picked-up in 10 minutes.
You guys have a great day tomorrow.

Love ya,
Hapa

Aloha ahiahi,

Not too much to say today … I’m just recuperating from last night and work. Pasco was dying to hear the details from my blind date. It went pretty well. A big mahalo to my friend Dana for the set up. I met up with Thomas at a place called Monterey Bay Canners, about 10 minutes from where I live. We had a drink there, then we went dancing. We went to a place called Rumours. Saturdays is retro night where they play music from the 70’s and 80’s. I like to watch people dance. Especially men. Some say that you can tell how a person is in bed by the way they dance. Thomas is a VERY good dancer. I can just imagine. One of the things Pasco asked me at work was how the sex was … as if. It was a blind date … time to get to know each other. Thomas is 38 years old, never been married, has a daughter that is 18, and owns his own business. Actually, he took over his father’s business after he retired. He leases those big ass equipment you see at construction sites. You know those cranes and stuff like that. We didn’t stay that long … maybe about two hours. I had to be at work at 7am. I got home early … oh, about 2am.

Work sucked today. It was extremely slow for a Sunday. I usually get out by 3:30pm at the latest. I clocked out at about 12:30. I ended up going to a place called Assaggio’s with Pasco, Queen, and another co-worker named Jen. Jen is 4 months pregnant. She’s the second person at work that caught the pregnancy bug. Well, actually the third … if you count one of our kitchen manager’s girlfriend. Pasco announced that she was late … two weeks I think it was. She’s got three kiddies. The oldest is 14, and I forgot how old the other two were. I jokingly said that I really needed to get my tubes tied before I caught the bug … I think you need to have sex to get pregnant … something I don’t have to worry about. Anyway, we were all starving and we ended up ordering a couple of things and sharing it all. Assaggio’s is an Italian restaurant. The food there, in my opinion, used to be really awesome. I wasn’t all that impressed today. After that, I went home. My kids got home from their weekend away the same time I did. Sianna went to my brother’s and Chris and I went shopping.

Hope all of you readers have a great week. I got a full agenda tomorrow, so I’m off to bed.

Goodnight,
Hapa
