Definitely Ate Too Much This Weekend... :P

Again, long time no posting. :P It's been a really busy week/weekend so I'll give you a brief recap. First off, Saturday was Maki's birthday! We went to celebrate at Todai restaurant for lunch; all you can eat Japanese food... YUM! I especially love their sushi, chicken, tempura, and for dessert crepe. ^_^ Then since Saturday was election day, Naomi and I had to go vote. It was the first time for me to do that so it was an interesting experience. I did my civic duty!

For dinner that same night, a big group of us from Kaimuki church went out to eat Macaroni Grill to celebrate Christi's and jointly Maki's birthdays. There was 15 people altogether, plus Brandi and Verano's baby, Aden. He's almost a month old and is soooo adorable!!! We all had fun taking turns to carry the baby.

Today (Sunday), we had our service and listened to the sermon tape from church back home. It was my father's sermon about "Lonely Faith?" and it was really good to hear it. Applied a lot to us over here and it was really encouraging. ^_^ For lunch we ate at... you guessed it, Happy Days. Come on... it's delicious! I seriously can (and I think we do) eat there every week. :P

In the afternoon, I was working on my History paper. Yeah, I know, doing homework on Sunday. The THING is, my friend only just told me late last night that I had a paper due Monday morning. So I had to get it done today. Oh, well, I finished it fairly quickly and it wasn't too bad. I hope I did well. :S

Later in the afternoon, Gap was having a sale so Erin, Maki, and I went to Ala Moana. I got two really nice shirts which were sooo cheap ($6 and $8)! Right now the 'theme' for Gap is Audrey Hepburn from the movie Funny Face. You know, the one where Audrey dances in that black long sleeve turtleneck, long black pants, and black 'slipper' shoes. Really simple clothes but very stylish at the same time.

Got home and after grocery shopping at Times, we had curry dinner (thank you Erin!). Watched Kiss Me Kate which was tons of fun (remember Maria the song "I Hate Men"?! lol! "Like piggies in a pen..." *snort*). Best musical numbers are definitely all of Ann Miller's numbers and the Keenan Wynn number "Brush Up Your Shakespeare."

Afterwards, I mostly did a bit of 'song' searching. I have to look for the next song I'm going to sing for musical theatre class. I've narrowed the search down finally to My Fair Lady's "I Could Have Danced All Night." I've been doing Mezzo-Soprano/Belter songs so I want to try a Soprano, 'semi-love-song' for a change since the last two I sang "Diamond's Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "You're the Top." I'll have to get more details from the teacher however about the song choice; I just heard about the next song having to be from the 50's or 60's and am not sure whether there were any other specifications.

The past few days I've been going to bed pretty late so hopefully tonight I'll be in bed a bit earlier. Going to try to wake up a bit early, too, so I can put the finishing touches on my paper before handing it in. G'night, sleep tight!
