I've been so busy lately with my day job, I haven't had a chance to post anything. Here's a sunset picture I took last weekend on my birthday staycation. Hawai'i is so beautiful and I am so blessed to live here. I hope you are all having a lovely week. I am working on new posts which should be up tomorrow or perhaps later today.
On my way home from a quick jaunt to the store, I noticed that the sun was about to set. It had been so hazy and voggy here the last few days but today was clear with just enough haze to make the sky look like it was glowing. This was a quick snap with my camera in the few moments before the sun disappeared behind the mountain as I stood at the boat harbor at Maunalua Bay in Hawai'i Kai. It's moments like these that I feel so fortunate to live in such a beautiful place, especially during this time of year.
Hope all of you are having a great weekend. I am working on new posts now. In the mean time, here's an "HDR" picture that I took with my iPhone and processed with the Camera+ app. Pretty cool.
Sorry I haven't written in a few days. My friend's mom died unexpectedly yesterday at the age of 51. She had nothing wrong with her that she knew, only a cold. She fell down and died. They're having an autopsy done but it's so sad and tragic that I've been a mess and haven't felt right about blogging my shallow and random thoughts right now. I have to take a few days.
Life is so short, you can die at any second. No one knows when the Lord will come for you. I pray that Jesus comfort her family and all those going through similar situations. If you love someone, tell them. If someone you love isn't on good terms with you, let it go and make it right. You don't want to have them die without the opportunity to resolve any problems or tell them you love them. Life is so short.
Rest in peace Suzanne. I know you're in heaven.

I was spending the day with my mom after a long, hard week back at work. She treated me and Alaka'i to a late lunch at Neiman Marcus Mariposa restaurant. Thanks mom!
I ordered the Laksa Seafood Curry which was delicious and tasty. The dish was full of salmon, clams, shrimp, onions, bell peppers, eggplant and a few more treats and had a light curry flavored sauce. It was not as thick of a curry, actually more of a soupy consistency which I liked because it was light and delicious without being heavy like curry sometimes is. It came with a plate of about a scoop and a half or white rice. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
After this delicious meal I had an illy cappuccino with just the right amount of foam and my mom and I shared a rich and decadent four layer chocolate cake with ice cream and cherry syrup on the side. I only had a few bites because it was so rich yet utterly delicious.
Alaka'i had spaghetti and an ice cream sundae which I didn't have the chance to snap a shot of with my iPhone because he ate it up before I could take a picture. When my boy's hungry, there's no stopping him to take a snap shot. He wants to eat!!
It was a nice break from the hectic work week I've had. I know Alaka'i enjoyed his lunch and treat after having a long few days back at school. (Yay for winter break being over!!)
I don't really shop at Neiman Marcus except for makeup and perfume but it's such a pretty store. I have always loved the long strings of gilded butterflies (fake ones of course), strung from the 3rd floor ceiling and dangling down to the 1st floor. Very pretty and delicate. I like how they seem to sparkle and catch the light. I think they're actually made up of feathers pinned together and spray painted gold. Gorgeous nonetheless.
When Alaka'i was really small we'd come in here once in awhile and he liked to blow the butterflies as we went up the escalator in the store. When they moved, he used to think they were flying. So cute. Even today, I caught a glimpse of him blowing them with that same wonder in his eye. He's so precious to me.
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

In an otherwise hectic and crazy day for me, I managed to take a minute to take pictures of pretty plumerias blooming on a street nearby. It was a nice break from the wild and insanely busy work day and multitasking that has become a regular occurrence in my life as a single mom.
