Happy Halloween!

December 24th, 2008

The title is a joke, by the way. It’s 2:00 AM on Christmas Eve. I’m, of course, at the office, blogging. I’m too tired to come up with a coherent post, having spent the last 17 hours compiling a filing non-stop. My current desires are 1) to do laundry and 2) to go to bed — in that order. The laundry situation is a tricky one because it makes it increasingly difficult to get dressed for work when all your clothes are dirty, and “slumming it” is not really something people “do” in a white-shoe law firm.

Anyway, whatever. Despite spending the majority of my time at work, I have to say that I am glad to be in New York, and I’m pretty satisfied with how life is going in general, thankless as this job may be at times. Perhaps it’s because this is my first really “white Christmas” and it’s making me sappy. Maybe it’s because I’m just a workaholic, haha. Of course it helps that I like my officemate, I like my roommates and it’s nice that I have the most understanding friends anyone could hope for considering how I never have time to chat, e-mail back or call. I’m very sorry. I miss you guys a bunch. Even the ones who are in New York, but I never see, haha. Happy holidays, all.

Polynesian Paradise

December 6th, 2008

So, Hawaii was wonderful, basically. We actually ended up stopping in Los Angeles on Thanksgiving to see our familia in California, resulting in a Dim Sum Thanksgiving Feast, haha. They have great fruit there. Mmmm.

Anyway, post-Hawaii, I am now three different skin colors. My upper body is now the normal color that humans should be — enough color to look healthily sunkissed, but not so much that my skin color fails to correctly reflect my ethnicity. My legs, meanwhile, have been burnt to a crisp and are too dark or a bright red. Hot, I know. My torso has remained its usual pale-ish, albino-y white. Ahhh.

Luckily, most of the color differentiation can be attributed to a day-long kayaking trip that we took which was wonderful (kayaking to a nearby island, lunch on the beach, mini-geography lesson, some snorkeling, and kayaking home), so it was worth it.

Anyway, I won’t recite the details of the trip here — my sister took plenty of pictures so I’m sure I can look back on it that way. Aloha!
