i'm not sure when the last time was that i was home for thanksgiving. maybe 2003 after i graduated from college? it's been awhile. in less than 24 hours i will be on a plane to hawaii, my boarding pass is printed and i am (not) packed. with the new baggage policy i will be just bringing a carryon. i don't need much anyway, swimsuit, some t-shirts and shorts, and slippers. what else would i need? i am gonna try to workout everyday since a lot of people will be busy during the day with things like work. other than that i have a few plans.

so i am trying to get in a lot of sun while i am there, store up some vitamin D. haven't been in strong sun in awhile. i have my oregon tan right now. all my plans with ?s are up in the air but strong possibilities. i haven't been working too hard on making plans because i know they will come together without me. things always workout in the end. i am looking forward to lots of things like seeing friends/family, surfing, golfing and eating. some foods on my list are big city diner, mililani golf course, loco mocos and ramen. also tokyo tei in maui! i am getting hungry just thinking about all this. so because of all this eating i need to be hitting the gym or beach everyday. if not, the plane won't be able to take off because of too much weight. hahaha
i always fill up my time in hawaii with lots of things so it goes by really fast. in no time i will be back here so i want to just make the best of it. i have been posting a lot about oregon state football but it is real now. we are playing the civil war on december 3 at autzen stadium. it's the biggest one of them all, and i am not just saying that. whoever wins goes to the rose bowl! the granddaddy of them all! it has been quite the season and we are just getting better. we have a little over a week to prepare and it is on!! i am so excited but unfortunately i'll be away from the state of oregon. not to worry though, i am bringing a lot of OSU paraphanelia and t-shirts. i will be representing and watching it wherever i can. hopefully with oregon state fans present.
see you all soon.

#140 - make me happy
today was the first day of school. i'm not sure if that's what got me in a mood or the fact that in the past year so much has happened, very personal and emotional. but anyway i am a little down right now, listening to music that will hopefully make me feel better. then i thought of doggies. so here are some pictures of me and the dogs at the beach in june! we spent a lot of time at the beach, sun bathing on the deck, snoozing and cuddling up together on the couch (all 4 of us!). it was one of the best weeks ever.
maui (white), hector (black) and sancho (brown) are such sweet hearts and i miss them very much! they love to cuddle up to me and play. sancho LOVES to play. he's still a puppy so he's always wanting to play fetch. silly sancho. hector is a bit on the rough side, to put it lightly. well, he doesn't like people or dogs he doesn't know. he's known me since he was a puppy so he loves me lots but others he like to growl at and bite. not good. maui is the sweetest thing ever put on this earth, he is the best dog. i love them all! just seeing their pictures puts a big goofy smile on my face. i miss those guys! i hope i can house/dog sit again soon. =)

#115 - dogs and beach
i've been here at the beach for almost a week. me and three little chihuahuas. while it's been nice to be alone, i feel like i'm becoming a little crazy. the little guys are driving me up the walls. everytime i let them out to pee/poo they bark. maui runs around the whole house barking, at nothing. they were barking at a big black neighbor dog once, but other than that it's been nothing. it doesn't matter what time of day either. i can't control them. i let hector out today and he refused to come back into the house for half an hour. he ran circles around me as i tried to catch him. i tried bribing him with a treat, he took it and ran. it really frustrated me because i wanted to walk to the post office. i planned on doing it at a certain time so it was pissing me off. i guess today i am in a bad mood. i closed the door to this room so i could blog in peace. usually they are always around, especially maui. he is such a lap dog, if there is a lap he's in it.
yesterday was nice, we laid on the deck upstairs all day in the sun. i had a blanket out there and played music on the stereo. it was a gorgeous day and very relaxing. later on i took maui and sancho to the beach and we had a good time. it was perfect on the beach and they got all their energy out by running around on the beach with another dog. i need to go to the beach later today.
my friends are coming to hang out this weekend. i am excited because i haven't seen anyone i know in four days. i feel like tom hanks on that movie with wilson the volleyball. nutso. of course i can talk to the dogs but they just look at me like i'm crazy, which only makes me feel more crazy. i was thinking this would be a good time to read, plan my trip, workout, think, and practice. my friend at work and i were talking about being mindful. i am very not. i started trying to be mindful as i eat, as a first step. sit down, give thanks, take my time, enjoy each bite, just be there and let the food nourish me. nothing else going on but me eating. i've been eating almost every meal outside on the deck. it's nice to breathe the fresh ocean air and feel alive. i still eat too quickly. it's like i was raised with a dozen other kids/animals and need to eat the food before they do.
my next step is to be mindful of the moment. live in the moment and be present. i know this isn't achieved overnight, but it's an ongoing process. like everything else, it's gotta start somewhere. the beach is a very easy place to be mindful and so a good place to start. it involves all the senses: you look out and see the ocean and waves, feel the sand beneath your feet and wind on your face, smell the salt water and various dead animals on the beach, hear the waves crashing and kids playing and going to the beach always reminds me of my mom's korean chicken and musubis. so even if it's not hot and i'm not swimming, i can taste it. it's so easy to relax and enjoy everything about that moment. nothing makes me happier than being on a beach. life is good.
it's all those other times that being mindful becomes hard. come home to the craziness and the real world. i guess house/dog sitting is not really the real world but it's frustrating at times. other things i want to work on is being mindful of my actions, speech and thoughts. although there aren't many things i regret, a lot of things could have been done or said in a different way. also, why should i waste time with idle or negative thoughts/actions/speech? i should not. negativity only creates more of the same. i have still another week at the beach and then a trip to mexico and guatemala! life is good...if i could only get the dogs to cooperate and not bark so much.
