first anniversary

I haven't posted in so long! I've been going crazy - being sick, frustrations from work, random off days, car issues, ugh! and the list goes on!! Luckily, posting this blog put me back into a happy place. A happy place called Turtle Bay!

So we made it through our first anniversary. We decided that for ourselves and our relationship we would take a little time out of life and relax at Turtle Bay Resort in Kahuku, HI. It was great, very expensive, but well worth it.

I was mostly looking forward to the huge bed we would get to sleep in and getting breakfast in bed the next morning! The room was amazing and the room service was very nice. The picture above only shows some pupus we had the first day there. The breakfast was bigger but still not worth its prices. I guess thats the toll you pay for service!

Speaking of service! I decided that a massage was in order for our little getaway. On our last day there, we booked a couples massage by the beach. It was truly an experience, and worth the cost, but I should have gotten the longer package. It just went by too darn quick!

I also picked up a trick from them. I like water, but I like flavor better. Well, in their locker rooms and whatnot, they had pitchers of naturally flavored water that was amazing! It was so simple - just a pitcher of cold water and slices of fruits in it! For example, one had orange slices in it, one had cucumber slices, and the other had lemon slices - all, with no sugar added! It was just a nice summer refreshment that I may have to try at home soon. It's been so hot!

Here's to many more anniversaries!

frustration..

I feel unhappy with life in general at the moment. Don't get me wrong, I know that I have it pretty good and it could be a hell-of-a-lot worse, but still...

Everyday I go to work and I do my best, but there isn't much of anything to do to give my best to. I strive for more by showing initiative and do all that I can, but the fact of the matter is that I'm at the bottom of this tottem pole, and the rungs on the ladder of sucess are too spread apart from each other. Everything just seems farther out of reach and I feel more insignificant everyday...

But thanks to Leena for her ability to shine some light on the subject. She's made me realize that this time may have been given to me as a period to organize my life and decide what I really want out of life. In the aspects of a career choice, my home life, my relationships, and myself as an individual.

I think I'll start by getting the new iPhone 3G S as a tool to set myself straight. I can't wait the week and a half till I can get my hands on one. Hopefully they don't sell out before I do. I'm actually considering camping out overnight in front of AT&T. Bible!

Anywho, today was a totally insignificant day for me and I'm determined to change that. It's between finding a new job search, hitting the gym, or organizing my life/priorities...

I'll update when I've made some sort of dent of change.
