Ofa atu..

I signed up..

It's on January 14th & the main thing I'm worried about is the swimming part lol..  So today I will start my swimming training. 

I bought my phone clothes lol

If ya didn't already know I got upgraded in the phone world last month to the iPhone 4S and I loooooove it. Everyone's been telling me to get the screen protector but I haven't... And to get a bumper aka case for it and I finally did after I dropped it on the road lol... Isn't it so classic. I've found 2 other covers that I absolutely love too but I don't think my iPhone deserves a wardrobe... Lol or does it. Hahaha

It's expensive....

Buying healthy food isn't cheap.... But I'm thinking of it as an investment to my body... Maybe that's why healthy people eat smaller portions kz the food is not cheap.. so ya gotta make it last lol.

& we danced

For our stake. It was fun. Memories made. Tongan & Fiji..

Pleeeeease & thank you

4 years already.

Today I am grateful for the knowledge that I have of Eternal Families.  4 years ago yesterday we lost a brother but gained a guardian angel.  Love you always Moses Lavaki.

the holiday where you give out candy to complete strangers that dress up as a plethora of things

This is the time of year where you give out candy to random strangers for free, you get candy from complete strangers too, you dress up as (a ballerina last night for me but a shadow come Halloween) pretty much whatever you want...  It's a very random holiday.  I like it.  A few photos from last night.

 Last year we went as Ms. Pac-Man...  Pretty dang creative if ya ask me...  Jess-purple ghost, Lavi-green ghost, Tilly-blue ghost, Mandi-orange ghost, Me-red ghost, Olo-Ms. PacMan, Ash-cherry..  g'd times.

 2 Halloweens ago we were Superheros... I was Cpt. Americas Daughter, Tess was Robin, Ash was a self proclaimed superhero, Jess was a Ninja Turtle, Leni was Storm & Adi was I wanna say Catwoman  but it's questionable. lol

I like that we always have a theme and we all go with it...  Be safe, check the kids (your own) candies before eating, dress warm & happpppppppppy halloween!!

NIKETERMINOLOGY

I swear NIKE has the best marketing team ever.
Best slogans.
Best of everything.

This NIKETERMINOLOGY[nice wording huh]  is true in so many different ways.
I'm still playing rugby & just trying to be more healthy overall...
& truth be told it is so easy [hope you are sensing my sarcasm lol]
I'm still not there yet. loooong road to go.
But after reading this it changed how I view my "training".

all in all LOSING sucks & I don't like to lose
so even though training sucks too it's better to train hard & win
then half "A" it & struggle win or lose.

thanks for reading if you did. this was mostly just a pep talk for myself today lol

I think.

1. I don't blog enough--though I did start a TUMBLR which I love. It's in the middle of TWITTER & this I think. 
2. sprint needs to get the iPhone ASAP kz I mosdef need an upgrade from my BLADE
3. that the next Rugby World Cup needs to be closer to me. lol
4. insanity sucks but I am still determined to finish it. Even if I have to repeat days. blaaaaah
5. I spend more time at my folks house now that I don't live there.
6. I am beyond blessed.
7. that donating most of my clothing/shoes is a good idea
8. time moves so fast when you wished it wouldn't & so slow when you wished it would
9. General Conference will be astounding.
10. I need to leave right night g'd bye!!! lol


THE END

tennnnnnis w/my Pops

it's a gritty/pixel-ated photo thanks to my ancient phone but I don't always have my mini SLR with me so it gets the job done. lol  Anyways... 

Since I've moved out it
seems like I spend more time
visiting home & doing things with the fam.
Especially my Dad.

phone call with my Dad:

Dad: Where are you?
Me: at home.
Dad: what are you doing?
Me: I just got off work so I'm gonna sleep.
Dad: Do you want to go play tennis later?
Me: sure
Dad: Ok meet at the rec. courts.

hahahaha I was surprised this guy called me of all the people in the world to go play with him.  I remember when I was in Jr. High or something & he was trying to teach me how to play.  I kept laughing & hitting the ball over the fence. LOL  He would just shake his head & say stop laughing you're wasting your energy & hold the racket nicely.  I didn't take it seriously (& I laugh when I don't know what I'm doing--actually I just laugh a lot in general lol) but fast forward to now & I just absolutely love playing.  I'm not a pro but I'm taking in what he's teaching me & not laughing as much lol.  I'm most def an amateur when it comes to this game but I love being able to spend time with my Dad & enjoy the weather while it's still nice out....  Once it starts snowing we'll move it indoors for some racquetball---my Dads ultimate game besides rugby oh & tennis too lol

Hello.

Random blog.

Since it's been so long.

Too many stories to tell.

Too many updates to share.

So right now you're just gonna get what's on my mind.

Might be a little might be a lot.

gotta pack-downsize-clean-organize.

I'm so tempted to get a iphone just for the instagram app.

Virgin Mobile is so cheap though Competitor Comparison --But I don't think I'll leave Sprint lol.

Being frugal is hard. but it's easy. but it's not.

School.

Who knew your achilles was so important besides Achilles the Greek God. Oh Ray.

My Folks are the best.

Praying always for all the missionaries [especially this particular 1 in Tijuana Mexico love you bruh]

Budgeting is addicting.

Have yet to get my passport stamped this year.

$5 movie Tuesdays.

Cherry dipped ice cream cones.

Liftoff=very niiiice.

I haven't been shopping in forever & that is ok.

I missed bloggin my fave month=July simply kz I love fireworks!!

All I ate yesterday was s'mores. My eating habits could use some revamping.

THE END.
