She loves her little nook

You asked how your dog was doing... It looks like she's doing well.
Of course, how could she not be? She's tucked in between a pillow and my tummy. It's heaven!

i miss you

I know you think i get extremely needy when its that time of the month but i feel like I haven't really chatted with you in awhile. I miss you.. i hope you miss me too.. and NO, it's not that time of the month!

Yelp unleashed

It's the yelp event tonight and I'm a panda! I tried to put all my hair up I the bun but it didn't go that well so I had to do half of my hair. I wish you could join me on this. I love you tons!

Hello, Shave ice anyone?

We had shave ice today and AJ wanted to use the phone while we waited. She's says, "unn-na... Hello?? Unn-Na he-hello!"

Anna panda

I was thinking about going to that yelp zoo event as a panda. I found this at those children's jewelry store for $7.50. They're eye covers for bedtime.. What I thought was maybe put the panda one on my head are like a headband and fluff/tease my hair into two large pony-tails to looks like ears.

Noodles!

I got out of class early and Cleone text'd me to see if I had anything going on tonight... We decided to grab noodles at that Japanese place above McCully. I wish you could be there with us. I love you

Smart dog

She likes to sit on my book when I study.. I said, "off", and the slid off a little.. Then a little more.. Then it was just her face on my book. So cute!

Out from the darkness...

The beast! Hahaha. She's so cute. She's back to laying on clothes again since you came home. Plus, your shirt is still under there.

Hope you're doing okay from all the flying. Love you

Back to "blog"

She's back to missing you again. You know how she always sits on me and doesn't let me study.. Well, right now she's focused on you and not me. I get it... I'd rather be sleeping in your spot too.

I miss you

My Fake Family

I've worked with this little one a few times now. She always plays my daughter and is the so adorably fun on set. We also had another child on set, a boy, who didn't want to participate so we ended up doing the family shot with just two girls and a myself as the mom and the news guy as the dad... totally fun day. 

I can't wait to see what it would be like for us one day. :)

Dear Husband

I'm so excited to be going to the concert tonight for Foster the People. It should be super awesome. I wish I could bring the camera but it's still been rainy and Aloha Tower concerts can get hot and tight. I'll try to get some photos from my phone though. The plan is to pick the kids up (they're hanging out with their friends) and Heidi and Dan will be with me. When we're done I need to get home ASAP and get some work done. It's spring break but I have a final, an assignment, and optional HW due by tomorrow. Anyway, I need to hope in the shower and get ready. I can't wait to see you!!!!!!!!!! Love you

St pattys day

Heidi and I are in Chinatown at Dan's place. Meet Poota! It's his dog... Super cute. You can't see her face but you can see her tongue. Dan says he's totally excited to meet you. I just wanted to share the picture with you. I love you

dear husband

sorry we didn't get to chat because of the crappy connection. it's the worst i had seen it in awhile. you're face was blurry and you could've passed for another husband :p

I hope your day is going by as quick as possible. i can't wait to see you!!! it's giving me knots in my belly.

I'm getting ready to head out for my run and just finished crossfit. I need to burn off this weird bloat/jelly before you get here!

Beautiful day

It's finally sunny today but I have errands to run. I'm heading out to the NEX to flash shop since i couldn't decide on the amazon purchase. I'll keep you posted.

Next thing I wanted to ask you was if you wanted to see 21 jump street with me and Brian. He said if you do want to see it we can wait for you to come home. Lmk :)

Hope you have a good day. I will be running errands when you wake up. Love you

Crossfit: wicked Wednesday

Since we missed Mondays class we joined the Wednesday class or regulars.. Umm, definitely harder!

Safety in numbers

The night jog that channel and I do became a "Diem mi is joining us". Then when I came over, my mom and Channey decided they wanted to work out too! My mom said she needs to do something because the gym is closed for renovations. How cute! It's a family outing! Although, we broke up into groups of 2 and 3.

Dark days

Rainy day

Sorry i couldn't take photos for you from tripler to play with on photoshop.. it's been another crappy day and there was no way i would've taken photos in the rain with the camera. i did take a few quick shots to show you how crappy it looks outside. I hope your day is going well. I love you.

I want Botox

Look at what it did for this pug! Hahaha

again?!?

the dog ran upstairs while we were in bed and when she came back down there was an awful smell. I went upstairs to check and she had taken another crap at the door. I dont get why she's doing this. I spend all day with her, I cuddled her, I kissed her, I massaged her. I dont understand and dont know what to do to teach her. I ended up leaving her outside on the balcony and closed the door to sleep by herself. If she eats my kale, whatever. I just want her back to normal again.

sore throat

Wish i could figure out if i'm getting sick or not. I have a really sore throat and have been really fatigued but it could also be from the tiredness of my body from the baseline crossfit test yesterday. I've been thinking about us today and wanted you to know that we have something great. Lets not forget that. love you

Soft cushion bar seats

My tushie will be nice and comfy now :) can't wait for you to see them!

Baseline test for crossfit

I'm heading out to get it done and gonna grab dinner with Ava and mark afterwards. Test includes a bunch of stuff including pullups. Umm.. I can't do that :/

pooper

your dog has pooped inside the house twice yesterday at the door and twice more today. The only difference is that when she did it yesterday, i was inside the house and could clean it. When she did it today, i was in class so when i opened the door the poo rolled under the door. That little pooper! i'm not sure if it's because of the rain or what but the balcony is somewhat wet and the litter is partially soaked too. i moved it inward so hopefully she doesn't do it again. Oh yeah, and she pee'd on the kitchen rug!

I caught lightning in action!

I missed most of the thunder but caught lightning

buggy eye'd

i'm trying to get some reading in while it's raining but of course.. you know me. Miss procrastinator. ha! Hope you get a good laugh out of this photo. 

Hi Joaquin!!

We miss and love you! Just wanted to get a photo of the girls to send to you. I also chatted with Orly and she asked how you were doing and wishes you well. :)

Dear Husband

Dinner with Steph was good. We ate at Nordstrom Cafe since we were already in the mall and the weather wasn't super great for traveling. She looks really good and has a friggin GINORMOUS ring. It's absolutely stunning. She also mentioned that she and Donald want to have kids next year. How exciting.

Sorry we didnt get to chat much earlier.. we were just walking in to grab food at the mall. Everyone told me to tell you HELLO and TAKE CARE!

Run

Look! My runs have progressively gotten farther and farther! :) I don't think we can run together anytime soon but I'll be way behind you checking out your butt

Dear Husband

Going to the movies tonight to watch This Means War. It's a chick flick and hopefully it's really good. Movie starts at 9:45PM and tomorrow morning i'm supposed to be on set for hawaii five-o in the morning but i haven't gotten an email for call time yet. Just wanted to check in with you and let you know what I was doing tonight. I'm extremely tired this morning too. I went to sleep late and got up early from AJ making noises. Anyway, a movie should be a really good lazy night after PIYO class. I love you

jujubes!

I thought i'd say hi since i'll be in class by the time you get on. Sorry we didn't get to chat yesterday. You were busy and I was catching up with school stuff. I'm actually at the library right now and have been here since 11am. Diem Mi dropped me off and offered to pick me up at 8:30. I have a feeling she's sleeping over again since she left diapers at the house. I'm so tired from last night.. AJ was running around with Foxi and I was distracted from getting my work done. I don't know how this will pan out but I hope everything works out for everyone. Plus, my tired face might not be able to handle more of less sleep (oxymoron)

Anyway, i thought of you while eating these jujubes and wanted to share my lovely face with you. haha! I have a feeling i'll be loosing a tooth or some of my fillings soon! :p

Dear Husband

As you know, i'm still working on my acct stuff so just in case i don't get to blog to you I wanted to do it now before I begin my studies.

I got called in to come on set on five-o again. If you're okay with it, I think I should join the union. They call enough times that i would've made up the fees and plus more. I guess you were right. Stupid choice on my behalf... i would've gotten that fun medical unit part.

Eugene just offered to teach me how to use the camera. I'm gonna take him up on that offer. He joked and said the class costs a cup of coffee and if i make it a venti size i'll learn more cause he talks faster! haha!

The dog slept in today. I think she was a little tired from my late study sesh last night. Poor thing, she was limp when i picked her up.

Since i'll be in class tonight when you get on, i'll look for you when i'm home on fb. I may be on late though. My class ends at 8:30 and by the time I get home I have to get yesterdays run in since i skipped it. I love you... look for me if you're online.

Silly puppy

She came onto the bed and decided between my butt crack and legs would be a good place to stay.

Gloomy traffic days

It's been terrible weather and it's seriously like WA right. The traffic is also bad so during my stop and go moments I pulled out my phone to snap a kissy face for you.

Nikon D5100!

Love sick... Aka, daddy sick

She gets lonely and has an issue with me leaving. I know she used to think you would come through the door when you first left but as time passes, she kind of freaks out when I don't come home. Now when I'm around she asks for a lot of attention... Especially because you used to give her too much! This is the face I have to deal with!!

Dear Husband

Here's a nice view of kokohead in the late evening. It was getting dark really quick so we decided to head back down at 3/4 of the way up. I ran down as usual and went back up since Diem Mi and Channel were still going down. It was a pretty good workout. When we all got to the bottom we heard Channel scream and realized she had tripped and fallen from a deep crater/hole. She said she heard something crack and laid there for awhile. We carried her partial of the way and she said she wanted to try putting some weight on it. She could walk but it's swelled. She probably heard a muscle/tendon and thought it was her bone. :( good news is that she wasn't in that much pain and said she still wanted Home Sweet Cafe. It was sooo good. I wish I could send you the dessert. Ultimately, it was a good night and we had a lot of laughs.

i love you

since we've been chatting most of the night I didn't really get to blog to you because i've told you everything. Although i said this a second ago...I wanted to say it again. I LOVE YOU

Your finisher

And guess what? You'll get my shirt so it's like you were there!

I'm on the bleachers right now waiting for Ava. I'm so tired... As you know, I tried to go to be early but didn't fall asleep until 2am. It was extremely annoying but I tried everything.

The GAR has been a fun challenge and I'm definitely not as tired or sweaty as I was last year but it still took a good amount of energy.

I with you were here

bed time

i've been trying to sleep for an hour now... hopefully i can get some zzzz's in so that I can get up at 5am. it'll be a little lonely this year since i'm driving out by myself. Ava will be catching a shuttle in but i'm not sure if we'll be able to meet up. I wish you could at least be there to start off with me :( Wish me luck and at least a few hours of sleep. I love you

Hello Uncle Joaquin

From your future niece or nephew... This is the picture I got from my sister today. She took two tests just to be sure. i'm so excited. i can't wait to see what she's having!!!

Dear Husband

I forgot to send this so it was saved in my drafts:

Taxes are done!We have a sweet return since you're deployed and belong to WA. Kenji (tax guy) told me to say hi and also offered me to do our taxes and to call/visit him free of charge to help and double check. He's really nice and fun. I like that guy.

On the way to the vet I also snapped a photo of the car in front of me. Their license plate is PYX 445.. This person at the DMV at probably the same time as I was. It was funny cause it reminded me of when I asked you "do you think we would've crossed paths if we hadn't met on myspace?". It made me feel like one way or another, we would've been in each others lives somehow. What really scares me is the thought of not having you in my life. Everything would most likely be bland. You spice i

Her favorite pillow

Foxi loves this pillow. I'm not sure if it's the memory foam but she chooses this one most of the time or the king size pillow in the back when I move around and annoy her. She looked extremely cute when I got up so I snapped a picture to show you.

I'm getting ready to go to shadow boxing in an hour. I'll also be sending you stuff today so it it was last time it'll hopefully be a week when you see it. Ill try to catch you online this morning but it depends on when I run and if I'll be trying bikram today. I have to get going. I'll think of you every moment I can. I love you

Hooters!!!

Hope this makes your request fulfilled :) The girls were really sweet about taking the photo for you. I love you!

Valentines Day

This has been my best deployed Valentines Day ever simply because I got to see your face this morning.  You are the best thing that has ever happend to me and I can wait to grow our family and spend the rest of my life with you.

I love you

It's almost the end of the night and valentines day has been another day without you. Although I wish I could have you near me I think I've learned how to appreciate you more while you're away. I've remembered to think of you every time I've felt alone. I do things I know would be much more enjoyable with your company. I've planned a future in my head with us doing so much more than we've already done. I can't wait to see you again. I just wanted to tell you that :)

Dear Husband

Look at what crystal brought today to the photo shoot! All these yummy goodies from Japan!

I went to buy Foxi's dog food today (since I missed the store hours by 2mins) and saw the cutest thing! Look... Talk about "how much is that doggy in the window?". I had to snap a picture although 6 photos later, attached are the two best ones. That puppy was so spazy.

Anyway, I hope you're having a good valentines day. I know we're not together but I've been thinking of you all day...every chance I got! I love you

View of Waikiki from Magic Island

It's absolutely breathtaking during the sunset. Next time I'll try to get a photo of it since I got the later part of the night. We really should take strolls together and enjoy this island together. I know you may not like the walking on because of your knees but maybe I can pull you around on a skateboard :)

Thanks for the video chat earlier.. I liked seeing you in zoom mode.

I love you

Dear Husband

I'm doing my late run with Channel again. I'm so happy I'm not doing it alone so late in the night. She's good company. We actually ran into Channey in Waikiki while running.

The play was actually better than I thought and I enjoyed it...I think you would've too. I also tried a new dish at Tenkaippin... I think it's called the paitan. It was extremely salty. I think I'll keep with the regular koteri broth.

Okay..break is done.. I need to get these 6miles in and ready for tomorrow's 4mile run.

I love you

It starts now

First pills I got so far. These are the prenatal pills that they say are suppose to be good for me and for later on if we're lucky enough to conceive. They said that the ovulation kit is a very good tool for us but it's really all about my cycle and when I become regular. They said that the good thing so far is that I've already gotten my period which is a good sign of getting towards regularity. The other thing we could've done was for me to have not stopped the birth control and stop it when you came home... I would've been most fertile then-that where lots of eggs would've dropped due to my body being so confused. I don't know. I'm just going to say that if it happens it happens. If it doesn't then we'll practice again.

Sleep cycle

Being sick this past weekend has really messed with my sleep cycle even more. Its terrible... I need to get it back to normal. :(

It was nice to hear your voice earlier so you definitely brightened my day when we spoke. I hope you're having a good day. I love you

Gyro for one

I hate this eating alone thing but this gyro kiosk place is yummy so I've eaten here a couple times now since you've left. When you come home... I don't think I'll even mind sharing it with you :p

Speed walking

Finished 4miles and doing the last 2miles speed walking with Channel. I wanted to let you know I was thinking of you and start to get really excited every time I think about babies. I've been doing the daily ovulation tests and although I thought I would be fertile yesterday, I was wrong... I'm not today either. I'm afraid I may have a bad/irregular cycle. I made an appt at Tripler on Friday just to see if there's anything I can do. I hope I don't mess this up.

On a better note. I just got a message from Judy. Mom is doing okay after the surgery but is in a lot of pain. See what you can do about calling her on FaceTime or a phone. I bet she would love to hear from you.

Its about to get to the darker area soon. I'm gonna say I love you and get off the phone to keep an eye out for danger. I have to protect my babies (unborn and channel :p)

5-0

just called me to see if i can come in to be on set for saturday.. they hardly every film on the weekends. I haven't responded yet... still thinking about that "must pay" status. hmmmm

smile

I was just thinking to myself earlier that i haven't smiled, giggled, or laughed the way you made me in awhile. I knew you were a great husband but didn't realize how much you naturally brightened my day. I was pretty bummed out until i saw a clip of Greys Anatomy where it was a "what if" episode. They made all of the doctors have different lives and one of them ended up being a red headed, dread-locked, druggie. It was hilarious.. i laughed out loud.. they way you make me do. i just thought i'd let you know. I love you.

She's feeling better

She can sit without yelping or getting up but she did accidentally touch her stitches and went wild... Like the time she ran around and pee'd + poo'd. It must've really hurt. She's resting a lot but that could be because i'm resting too. I bought some pho and meds. Hopefully I can chat with you later. Love you

Dear Husband

The body aches are back. Im in bed again resting now. I couldnt keep any food down. It must be a stomach virus. I also left the house real quickly to get an ovulation kit that gives a 20day test. Looks like I'm NOT ovulating today. So everyday I'm to test the levels of hormones and act a couple days within that timeframe. I'll also try to go to the gyno to get more info.

I'm getting really tired. I love you... I'll be in bed if you want to catch me and fox sleeping.

Oh boy

Someone knows what's up.. Tomorrow, she's leaving a little less of a lady. 

Dear Husband

Thanks for listening to my rant about school. It was really frustrating me and giving me anxiety and even though you can't do anything about it, your responses are like you're still around.

I had a long day today and have been prepping for Foxi's surgery. She'll be staying at the vets and will need to rest for one night. I'll let you know how everything goes tomorrow. She gets dropped off at 8:30am.

Tomorrow I'll be meeting with my finance instructor to see if the incomplete is a possibility or if I'll have to drop the class. Wish me luck on that.

Also, check your email to see if any of those laptop stands are what you're looking for...

I love you. I had day dreams about you earlier... I hope you have the same :)

Dear Husband

It's pretty late right now. I just got to moms after running/walking 7miles. I waited for Channel to finished work and drove her home. Guess what I'm wearing (photo)? The compression socks! My calves and shins (plus ankles and hips) are totally feeling it so I decided to wear them. I can feel less pain but my legs are still fatigued. These things are awesome though. I also wore them sleeping last night. Anyway, i have a long day tomorrow so I should probably get going, eat something and go to bed. I love you... So so much. Btw, I got my weekly reminder that you love me. Thanks for that. :)

Dear Husband

I'm glad you're settled in. It was really nice seeing your face clearly and hearing you without the long delay. Channel commented on how we sounded like we weren't even talking in the same conversation last night when she overheard us chatting in the car. You were saying one thing and I was saying another. Thank god we wont have to deal with much of a lag anymore.

I know you're going to try to buy some stuff to make your room a bit more comfortably but if you can think of anything that you want me to send to you, please lmk. I don't mind looking for stuff to send you. If you need something on amazon, just log into my account and go from there.

I'm about ready to hop in the shower and lay in bed. You can reach me downstairs if you want. I should still be awake and either watching TV, studying, or amazon researching/shopping for more compression socks. I love you. Have a good afternoon my love.

My creation

It didn't want to stand up but you get the idea.

Dear Husband

It's been a long day. As tired as I was last night, I decided that I would go out after golfing all day at Mamala Bay golf course. BTW, i didn't do as well as before but it did make me think of us when we got to certain holes. I remember some conversations we had and even that video you took of me after i drove my ball onto the green from the tee box. You're an awesome husband and that you for giving me so many good memories. Okay, back to this morning. I couldn't get out of bed and my body is sooo tired from the running, working out, and golf-to top that off, I went out too. My plan was to go home early and rest so that in the morning I could get Maya her bday gift. Instead I was in the car with Heidi and didn't get upstairs till really late. My plan of waking up early... well, it didn't happen :P I was able to find her a little drop and roll toy that she could sit on and roll around with but Diem Mi ended up buying her the same thing so now I have to return it. I guess i'll just head to the mall with Kinh and Amy and let them choose something. The bday party was nice.. Amy's mom wishes you a fast deployment so that we can get together and make babies already. There were seriously as many babies as there were adults! It would've been nice if we had some kids who had kids the same age but we'll see. Maybe we can. I'm about ready to head out and am chatting with you now. I love you :)

Down the stairs

I figured you probably haven't thought about how Foxi used to kiss you and watch you when you went down the stairs...well, if you forgot what that's like I thought I'd show you.

Look what I found

I shall make you a sculpture to show my love for you!

Dear Husband

I have a few mins before my class starts. My legs are really tired today. All the lunges and squats yesterday and the shadow boxing this morning... Its actually quite tiresome. It's been a few hours since I left the gym and I'm feeling the muscle fatigue. What makes it worse is that I mistook the miles today... I was supposed to run 2, not 3! No wonder at 2 miles I was on my last limb of energy!

Class is starting now. I just wanted to say I love you and hopefully I'll talk to you later :)

Every time I miss you

I see little signs that re-affirm our love and happiness... It's like back when we were courting on MySpace. It's these little things...

I love you

Dear Husband

I got the new USAA cards in the mail today... not sure if you wanted me to mail this out to you but i'll go ahead and activate both of them and wait to hear from you about whether or not you want it sent. I have another late class tonight and will be finished around 8ish. The plan is to do my 6miles after the class ends. It'll be late so either Ala Wai (since it's well lit) or the gym (which kinda sucks for running).. i think i'll take the dark route and keep my eyes open for zombies and bad people.

I still haven't heard from you so i'm hoping everything is okay. I got an email about a hard landing report but that soldiers were okay. I doubt you were on that but regardless, i'm glad no one was hurt.

I also did some re-potting today. The kale is growing so fast now and it's too much for one pot so I separated them in two pots... they're looking really good but depending on how big they flower, i may have to re-pot again! I'll take a picture for you next week since they're a little limp looking from the move.

I have to get going to class. I love you and will be thinking of you. *kisses*

Hi Daddy-o

Your dog is the queen of the bed and especially this pillow!

Dear Husband

Happy Chinese New Year!! I just wanted to wish you luck, wealth, and happiness. Its custom to wish someone something good during the new year and since you're not here I wanted to make sure you know i'm thinking about you. It's said that whatever happens this day will happen for the rest of the year and so I made it a point to think about you as often as I could so that I would think of you all year. I also cleaned and spent time with the family.. i guess that means i'll be tidy all year and will be spending more time with the nieces and nephews. Know what this means.... i'll probably have an itch for babies often :P
I hope you're having a good day and have been getting tons of sleep. Keep warm. I love you

Babies

I just left moms and spent some time watching old videos of the twins. They were so cute when they were babies! I cannot believe how much they've grow... And how smart they used to be! I can't wait to make home videos when we have a family. I love you
