Nothing to Say

I think even when you have nothing to say, nothing important going on in your life, you still have stuff on your mind. Which is exactly where I am currently residing. In the land of thoughtful insignificance. I'm not sure if that's what I'm trying to say, or if that's even possible. But I feel the need to type something here and put it up. So here was my day in a snack pack:

Woke up. Got ready. Got kids ready. They left. I read. (current read is Where She Went) My ride came. I went to church. Kids Kingdom fun. Lunch Panera Bread. Baby Shower. Home. Swim. Home. Dinner. Talk. Blah. Yup. That's basically it.

Current scripture on my wall:

Ephesians 3: 20-21
     "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations for ever and ever! Amen."

Yes. This is the end of this here post. I hope to start blogging again. For myself. To reflect. It's definitely interesting to see what was going through my mind on a certain day or whatever, you know. I hope you have a good day. Happy birthday. If it's your birthday :)

Disneyland!

Just got home from Disneyland last night. I had so much fun! And I have to say, ElecTRONica was AMAZiNG! It's so cool how they have a club-ish scene at Disneyland. It's at night and there are lights and music and so fun. And they even have FLYNN'S, which if you watch Tron, you know what that means. Yeah. The whole trip was a blast. Hooray for Disneyland!

Cut the Rope

My new favorite game is Cut the Rope. I play it everyday on my iPod Touch. I love it. It's so so so fun! How do you play? Well, CUT THE ROPE! And other stuff. It's very mindy and thinky and I like it! Okay. I'mma go feed OmNom some candy now. Peace!

Kona's Forward Roll

So yesterday, Kona goes and does a forward roll all by himself. I was like, what?! No way! So I told him to do it again and I got it on video. Here it is:

He's such a big boy now, I can't believe it. He's 19 months. Crazy!

Clumsy

In February, I sprained my ankle when I walked out the front door and fell down the steps. And just when it was about healed, what did I do? I fell down those same steps and sprained it again! Yeah. It was just on my mind. So I blogged it.

Reality Show

Lately I've been thinking about reality shows. Why? Not sure. But I have been anyways. Like what kind of reality show could be made from my life, and would anyone watch it? What type of show would it be? Comedy, drama, happy, boring... that sort of thing. Then to think of all the repercussions of having your life out there for everyone to see. For anyone to edit and view the way they want to. It seems tough. You get "fame" but at what price? There are so many reality shows out there, you know. It's crazy. These are just normal (I use this term loosely) everyday people who are put in front of a camera. And we watch. There's shows where they place people in the same house and they are forced to deal with one another. While they party and have dramas - those are all the same. There are shows about little girls in beauty pageants and all that drama that goes along with it. Shows about teenage mothers. Shows about families with a thousand children. Shows with doctors doing surgery. Tattoo parlor shows. There are just SO MANY! Do you ever think about this? Would you ever want to have your life filmed and shown to the world? Would you?

Happy 17th Birthday Justin Bieber!!

Yup. The Biebs is officially 17 years old. Hooray! Hahahaha. I recently caught Bieber Fever. I did. And I saw his 3D Director's Fan Cut movie last night. It was awesome. It made me cry and cry and cry. The good kind of course. You have to watch Never Say Never. If you are a Belieber, it's a MUST. If you are not a Belieber, it will turn you into one. His story is incredible as is he. I even got the kids into him. They have Bieber Fever too. Teehee. Kai keeps asking for "Bieber marching" song (Love Me,) knows practically all the words and says "Bieber Bieber Bieber". Kona dances and sings along (in his Kona way.) Sammy wrote and sang a song for him. Here's the video of her. Have fun! :)

Fall Like Woe

I sprained my ankle yesterday. How? My clumsy-ness. I tripped walking out my front door. And my ankle swelled up to the size of a tennis ball. I. Am. Not. Exaggerating. Wasn't very pretty. But yeah. So I'm missing my concert tonight. I was gonna go see this guy down below at the Grog Shop along with three other bands. But now I can't. Sad :(
But life goes on! Hooray!

I'm Home :)

Just got back to Hawaii late Thursday night. Hanging out with all my family! So fun. I'm so excited to be home, even if it is for only a week. I love it. I missed all my Hawaii folks so so much. I love seeing all my little kiddies (some of whom are not so little anymore.) It's nice to be home. Well, I'm gonna go get back to my peeps. Later! :) Yeah, I'm totally posting videos when I get back to Ohio. So get ready!

Whole Foods with Kona

I just posted a new video on YouTube. Me and Kona in Whole Foods. I love that boy :) Here's the video:



Oh, and I have a song stuck in my head. So before I say it, I gotta say, I had NO IDEA that Zachary Levi could sing. He's awesome. I was like, what? Are you serious? Yup. See for yourself. Terrified is one of my favorite songs ever. And I really love the version by Katherine McPhee and Zachary Levi. And this music video is smiles and tears (the good kind.) Check it:

Been Here All Along

There's nothing new going on. Not really. Just hanging out with the kids. We've been to Chuck E. Cheese quite often recently. Haha. I'm currently listening to the Hannah Montana Forever Soundtrack on my iTunes. Hehe. Yeah, I like Hannah Montana. Whatever! :) The song "Been Here All Along" reminds me of my family. The chorus goes: 

  "You're still there for me

   Wherever 'there' might be

   And if an ocean lies between us

   I'll send a message across the sea

   That you can sleep tonight

   Knowing it's alright

   I believe that you are listening to my song

   You're with me

   You've been here all along

   You've been here all along"

I love you guys. And I miss you. Even though I am here in Ohio and you are in Hawaii, you are still here for me. In my mind and in my heart. I can't wait to see you guys in two weeks! :) I am so excited to come home!

Here's the song. It's a clip from the Hannah Montana Episode it was in. Enjoy :)

Life Unexpected

One of my favorite shows is now over. And as super sad as I am about it, I gotta say, they ended it so well. I just finished watching the 2 hour season finale of Life Unexpected on The CW. It was a crazy episode. At the end however, they did a "Two Years Later" thing. Lux, giving her valedictorian speech as she is graduating. Class of 2012. That's crazy! And everyone ends up with who they should and it's so cute. :) Lux and Jones. Saw that coming from the very beginning. Even when she was with Bug. They just fit. Cate and Baze. Magic. Ryan and Julia, and their son. Math and Alice(pregnant) [now that's one I definitely did not for-see.] And Tasha is there. And they are family. Everyone stuck by each other. And it's really - as cheesy as it may sound - happily ever after! :) So as bummed as I've been for months about the possible cancellation of this amazing show, I was even more amazed with the way that they ended things so smoothly and gracefully and happy. Totally unexpected. But hey, that's why they called it Life Unexpected.

First YouTube Video for KikoLoves

I finally put up a new video since I moved to Ohio! Haha. It only took me like 8 months. But hey, I finally did one. Good or not, you be the judge. I did a cover of Ours by Taylor Swift. It's from her Speak Now Deluxe Edition album from Target. It's also my favorite song from that album. I love Taylor Swift. She is the best. So yeah. Long explanation. Here's the video:



That's such an awkward looking thumbnail picture! Hahahaha. :)

Hooray For Things That Get Fixed!

I took my guitar into the shop to get new strings and a full setup last week Saturday. I haven't done that since I moved back in June of 2010. I just picked it up today, and I've been playing it non-stop. Well, obviously I stopped to post this. Haha. But I am so excited! :) Oh, you are possibly wondering what my guitar looks like. Here, I'll show you!

Yup. That's it. I love it! It's so awesome. Hey mom, I'll try to post a YouTube video soon! Love you! Bye :)

Back to December

Taylor Swift's music video for Back to December came out today. I love it! It's Taylor Swift. :)

I love the simplicity of this video. It's totally not how I pictured the music video to be. I pictured a lot of flash back moments, you know, back to before December. The happy moments of their relationship. Then some flash backs to December when she broke his heart. In this video, there is no interaction between them. It's just her. It's just him. But they are thinking about each other. It feels like this is the moment in December when she made him go. All of his stuff is packed and on her floor. Then it's in his car. He's gone. The letter in the jacket pocket was a good way for closure without them being together. He breathes out at the end after reading the letter, and keeps walking. Finality. He knows it's over, and now he knows how she feels. They both feel the pain of their relationship ending. But that's it. It's still over. I love Taylor in this. She is just thinking and singing and being. Her outfit is perfect for regret, as is her hair and the way she moves. Sorrowful and slow. Her tear. The snow is awesome. On the outside with him. On the inside with her. Back to December. It connects them somehow. Inside, it lands on everything. Everything is cold and a memory, now that he is gone. The guy did a good job too. He's obviously not who you picture when you hear this song (he's not Taylor Lautner,) but his facial emotions and body language was perfect. His sad eyes. His red nose. The way he shivers, not only because of the cold, but of the memories of her, with her. He's walking all around, different places, maybe places they've been together. He's walking through their relationship. Thinking. Wondering. I liked it when the camera was on Taylor's back, and the wind ruffles her shirt and hair and she looks over her shoulder. Like she feels him. Like he's there. Her hand on the window for goodbye, as if she's watching him leave all over again. Him in the car, hands on the wheel. He looks out the window. At her house? After the goodbye? I like all of the different camera angles. The wide shots. The close up shots. The snow. The sun. It's so personal. So real.

Snowy Day

The SNOW has been on vacation for a little while, but it's back now. There's probably two feet of snow covering my entire backyard.

Check it out!
