Oh, now here's a view that I miss! One of my favorite things to do in Hawaii was just to wake up early in the morning and sit out on the balcony :3 This view was beautiful and it felt like was staring at a postcard every single time I stepped outside.
FACT: These pigeons really intrigued me! We never see white pigeons in Vegas!
Woot woot, so this is still a "Day 1" photo set... There's a photo of me & my bro at a Payless trying to kill time before check-in... I regret not taking more pictures of this shopping center. My childhood consisted of FUN FACTORY... Sad to say, I was in a bad mood because I had to pee really bad at this particular stop. ;_;
Cute nomzzz at the Liliha Bakery ;3
HOW DO THE LOCALS DO IT?! I get really moody and anxious in unorganized environments :( I certainly would have caused a scene if the "line" got any worse. (lol, my anxiety is legit though... I tried shopping with bro on the weekend and I literally panicked... we just had to GTFO before I started crying :$ Learned never to do that again... )
Me just being the freak that I am ^^ Sporting my beloved & forever lost EOS WBK-3's
All you IRL friends know that I am a F R E A K for CUSTARD! I swear, I LOVE custard ;A; That's what sucks about the mainland (aka the continental US) NO CUSTARD VARIETY! Vegas has plain old custard an pan, egg tart, and some crappy version of custard pie ;( GAH, I went custard crazy in Hawaii...
LOL, this is the area where my dad's cruise ship would port. I remembered as a little girl I would bawl before he had to leave -_-... Looking back, I was an idiot, my dad always came back each Saturday of the month! xD hahaha~~~
LALALA~~~ creeper shot of a cute couple on their way to their wedding shoot~ :3
Hello Everyone~
This is part two of day one on my trip. Honestly, after this I probably wont even remember which photos were taken on which days, despite them being uploaded in chronological order. -_-... Since, my hotel was all the way in Waikiki and my aunt was trying to get our rooms we decided to stay in Aeia for a little while and browse some of the shops near my grandparent's house.
After being in Aeia for a bit, my family and I headed over to our old home in Foster Village! LOL, weird name, NO, I am not a foster child... It's literally the name of the community I lived in. O.o But to give you all a more general idea of where I lived, it was in the Salt Lake City region :) I had so much fun being back in my old neighborhood. They tore down the community pool and there was even a round-about at the entrance of the community. I think it kind of spruced up the neighborhood. I really wish he had driven around here some more. I remember going on walks with my mom and picking at the cotton plants at one of my neighbors plants. LOL. There were even mango trees we'd have a pick at along our walks... HORRIBLE, but what's Hawaii without picking at your neighbors fruit? ahahahaha~
ALOHA~
I was thinking about editing these photos to match my other image posts, but I wanted everyone to see the true essence of my trip. Anyways, this is a photo set of my first day back in the lovely island, aka my true home, OAHU~ The funny thing is that after nine years of not going back, being there did not feel unfamiliar at all. Honestly, if any of you follow my twitter or know me IRL, you'll know I was absolutely dreading this trip.
I was pleasantly surprised at the fact that I was immediately comforted after stepping out of the plane. The air was different, a good and familiar different. I LOVED IT. Usually, when I'm on an out-of-state vacation, I'm nervous. I am usually filled with anxiety and excitement, but on this trip it was different. Despite how many times I've been to California, I have never been able to shake my anxiety. In Hawaii, I was calm, casual, AT HOME.
Oh, how I wish I could just share that peaceful feeling I experienced... But instead of me trying to explain my whacko feelings, please enjoy my photos. This particular set was taken from the air port to my grandmother's house in Aiea :)
Please stay tuned for more of my travel photos~ ^^
