It’s been a long semester but it is finally coming to a close. Next week I have my finals and if I pass, I will be headed towards my last  semester at UH. I can’t believe its been five years since I’ve started school but I think I am ready to move on to this thing they call the “real world”. As much as I am excited to finish school, I am also kind of scared. What!! I am actually going to have real responsibilities and actually be an adult… haha Hopefully my education has prepared me well to start my new life.

半年前の6月8日、
この木に「頑張っている木」とタイトルを付けて、長屋に載せました。

この木は、今日も、無限の美を創造していたのでありました！

10月5日に雪が降りましたが、その後2ヶ月は好天気で、
「あれ、一体なんだった？」と狐につままれた思いでした。

今日やっと、まともな雪の日となり、やれやれです。

I went Ninniku Ya, or the easier English name “Garlic House” on Waialae ave last week, it was a coworkers birthday, so we had a small get together for her. It was 8 of us and we had a great time. The food was very good, a little bit expensive, but they gave you a lot of food on each plate. What we ended up doing is just ordering a bunch of different plates and passing them around so we got to try everything. We had plenty of left overs also. The staff overheard that we were celebrating someones birthday and brought out a slice of cake with a candle, it was a really nice surprise since nobody said anything to them and they didn’t charge us for it either. If you haven’t tried ninniku ya yet, you really should, I had a really good time and have told so many people about it already.

今日の夕食のメニューです。

もう食べてしまったので、写真をお見せできないのが残念です。

人参、玉ねぎ、じゃがいもを入れたチキンカレーです。昨夜の残りです。
具が茶色く崩れてしまったので、卵焼きをのせて明るい感じにしました。

アボカドは半分に切り、大きな種を取り出し、お皿にのせました。
アボカドの穴には納豆を入れました。味付けは納豆に付いているタレとマスタードです。

トマトを一口大に切ってお皿にのせました。塩をぱらぱらとふりました。

パパイヤを半分に切り種をとってお皿にのせました。

豆腐もお皿にのせました。

お茶とお水を用意してできあがり。　ああしんど！

週末に家族でラニカイビーチに行きました。クリスマスカード用に家族写真を撮るためです。駐車場がすぐ近くにないせいか、いい天気の週末にもかかわらずビーチはガラガラでした。僕たちは隣のカイルアビーチの駐車場に車をとめて、10分ぐらい歩いてラニカイビーチにたどり着きました。ラニは天国、カイは海の意味だそうで、まさに「天国のような海」でした。

Our family went to Maui for Thanksgiving.  My mother, stepfather, daughter and her husband, and her two children, of 4 years and 2 years old.  I went along to help take care of parents and grandchildren.  We ate at Kimo’s and BJ Chicago Pizza in Lahaina.  We stayed at Na Luna Condos which was recently remodeled by Outrigger.  It was very beautiful inside with 3 Flat Screen TVs and a large livingroom kitchen combo. The kitchen side had black marble counters, micro wave over a flat surface stove with oven.  It also had a dishwasher and a refrigerator.  There were 2 bedrooms with 2 full baths and in one of them there was a stackable washer dryer.

We went to the top of Haleakala which had an elevation of 10,000 feet above sea level. At about 8,000 feet we were above the clouds. Some clouds passed us on the road and it was fun to put your hand out of the window to feel the wetness of them.  It was very cold, about 52 degrees. I had a ski jacket, leather gloves and extra clothing on to keep warm.We enjoyed our vacation especially since we were able to visit my Grandfather and grandmother’s graves and put flowers.  Already, I would love to go there again.  There is too much to see and not enough time.  We all want to go again!
