Currently,
1. Living downstairs in a house.
With a “not-so-comfortable” land lady RIGHT above us and my boyfriends brother renting the room next to ours..
2. Not attending school..
3. Exercising is at a very low dose weekly…
On a better note :
4. Cut back on my drinking and smoking of tobacco :)Did an experiment this past month..
Practiced self-control
and (almost( every time I wanted to spend money on ;
- cigarettes
- Booze
- Limited car drives
- Unnecessary fun things
So , I would put that money in a jar
My boyfriend helped me by , hiding it too !
Opened it yesterday and there was about 200$ in there !
Yay, now I can actually buy things I NEED.
Got the Boondock Saints 2 in a bin at a garge sale : F R E E
As well as:
Boondock Saints 2 was horrible… !
The rest were actually pretty good and I enjoyed Role Models the best.
Good enough for me ;)
==== always bringing me flowers for no reason .. ====
so i decided to cook up some Asian goodies for no reason..
well Love could be , tehe _
♥ Heart Shaped Agedashi Tofu
- We both love this dish !
Basically it’s deep fried tofu dipped in flour. .
Then served in a little dish with sauce; Garnished with green onions, ginger, and daikon . BUT , you can ADD ANYTHING to the top (:
( Fishcake is really good )

S H A b U _ S H A U B U
- Extremely easy . Just got some homemade chicken broth, from my sister, and miscellaneous veggies, from our garden.
Oh yeah, and left over Udon noodles from work …
Shabu Shabu is basically broth boiled in a large pot.
Placed in the middle of the table. Sliced Vegetables are put on plates as well as thinly sliced beef.
Then all you do is use your chop sticks pick up a piece of meet and swish it around till it cooks.
Thus, it makes you in charge of cooking your food for the most part ;)
My best friend and I went.
Out by the pier.
Right before the sun set.
IT WAS AWESOME!!
And lucky us, our friend had a giant platform floating a good distance from shore… so we could just dock up and sun tan after ..
:)
The first time I went jet-sking, was so much fun and I can’t wait to go again !
Slowly improving on the goal.
Finding different ways to spend less but still enjoy my lifestyle.
Cutting down habits too ..
Been so busy in life .
Haven’t had a chance to go on a real adventure.
My car isn’t in the best shape ether so it kind of makes it harder…
it’s almost done with the rainy season, here in Hawaii.
still cold
grey
and high winds
have plagued the side of the island I live on ..
so I made ..
CREAM OF ASPARAGUS SOUP !
and luckily I didn’t have to do much.
My sister gave me a bunch of left over asparagus she got from her neighbor.. and I had home made chicken stock as well as ;
cream cheese, sour cream ,lemon, pepper + salt .
