My 2nd day in Hawaii was very busy; lots of things to get done! Woke up around 9:30 (Naomi was the one who actually woke me up). Took a quick shower, did my morning ritual (most importantly checking my e-mails and catching up on news) and then after a quick breakfast headed out to Kapi'olani Community College. First things first, and what had to be done was getting my X-rays cleared so that I can finally register. At first we thought there was going to be a problem since I got the X-rays done in Japan but they actually cleared it without any qualms! Thank the Lord because if it hadn't been passed, Naomi and I would have had to drive quite a ways to get it done again. *Sigh* I don't need to experience that again.

Next stop was checking out the Diamond Head Theatre. They're still doing their summer pogram but hopefully, I'll be able to maybe take a few sessions of tap dance classes before the Fall schedule begins. Looking forward to maybe getting that happen!

Off we went next to the bank. Listen up everyone... I have a checkbook now! I know, sounds maybe kinda dull but I think it's really cool. I can write checks and sign stuff and everything! (You can see me going all giddy here.) Also got my savings account worked out and will be getting a debit card in a few days. Exciting!

Naomi went off to Sprint while I browsed around CompUSA. I got a new, very cool mousepad which I love very much. soooo blue! I also got a headphone/speaker splitter so I can hook up two earphones to my i-Pod. Will be very handy so that Naomi or Maki and I can share (Erin, you're getting your own, right? ^_^)

Next went to drop off some stuff for Daddy then Naomi and I made a quick lunch stop at Jack-in-the-Box. Whoah, their hamburgers are huge! Had a hard time finishing mine though it was like 2:15 and I was starved. Since the theaters were near by, we were going to watch a movie but unfortunately, nothing good was showing around the time we got there.

Got home and relaxed in front of the computer for a while. I watched a movie that I had bought yesterday. Crazy and stupid, but very talented actors and actresses... hilarious! I can tell you now that even now the funny scenes keep repeating in my head...

Soon it got around 6:45 so Naomi and I rushed to go to the Firday Night Service. The sermon was relatively long compared to the usual time for Kaimuki Christian Church. Since Pastor Ron is away in Kenya doing some mission work, Jerry preached. My first time to ever see him, but he gave such a powerful message titled "God is With us". VERY powerful sermon, I took so many notes and plan to read Romans 7 and 8 thoroughly.

It was fun seeing many people I've known for so many years. Tony and Jenny are looking good and were both on the worship team tonight. Oh, too many other people to name were there but there was one person I met... you guys just might know him. His name is Ericson, have you heard of him? ^_^ LOL! Yeah, Ericson was there tonight and I got a picture of him with his sister that I hope you like! He's doing well and sends his best (right Ericson?) ^_^
Heather and Nick were also there with their two daughters, Malia and Bella. Bella is so cute as is Malia, though Malia was a bit wary of me and kept running back to her mother. Oh, and Josh has longish blond hair and a beard now! Was very strange to see him look so different...

After the meeting, many of us met up at a Mexican Restaurant for dinner. Don, Christi, Brandon, Yuriy, Tiffany, Byron, Ericson, Taryn, and Yoko were there and we had such a fun time talking and laughing. And Brandon got this HUGE dish, it was a wonder that he finished it!

Before either Naomi or I realized it, it was getting late so we all left the restaurant. As we were heading for the parking lot, we heard the annoying steady honking of a car alarm. We were laughing and joking how annoying it was... then as we got to our floor, we found out it was Naomi's car which was honking!! A policeman was about to call someone or something but luckily Naomi ran to the car and inserted the key, making the honking and flashing lights stop. It was really strange and we made sure nothing was stolen. Very strange... we were all laughing about it. :P

We drove Yuriy home then getting slightly lost, got home. Got to talk to Daddy and Mommy on the phone and chatted with Elly and Meg a bit (sorry I kept getting cut off and didn't get to properly say good-bye girls!). Well, it's very late... must be off to bed! Tomorrow's a big day also since there's some more stuff Naomi and I have to do.

P.S. I put pictures into the previous day's account in my blog, please take the time to look at them!
