Apologies for the hiatus!

Yikes, time is flying by so fast.   On the 19th I flew back to Sacramento, CA for my Papa's birthday. I wanted to surprise him but he found out I was coming from our neighbor. Anyhow, it turned out to be a great event.  Dad was really happy and that's all that matters. :)

Me and my sisters
Anyhow, on the 27th I returned to a very quiet, empty apartment.  My roommate Nina is now in Maui for a 3-month project.  Since returning I've had 2 interviews that were completely opposite of each other. Meaning, the first was nearly a dream job. I'd be working in the legal department of a small and growing local company. It would be a great position that would keep me in my field yet working for company that's making a positive impact in the community. The interview was Weds morning.. I won't know if I landed the job till Friday afternoon. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  The second interview was through a friend of a friend who mentioned the friend was hiring. I submitted my resume without any idea of the job/company.

When I got there after an hour and 28 min bus ride, I found the position was for a maid. Yes, house maid. :/  Not that the job is beneath me, its just that it is not how I want to utilize my time which is a valuable resource at the moment. If I am to make it here in Hawaii, I'm going to have to leverage my time and find a job where I have a good earning potential using the least amount of time, (versus working 2 jobs and never seeing Hawaii).

Anyhow, the most important thing on my mind all day today and this week was to get a car.  I was thinking of renting a car while my roommate is gone because when she comes back, so does her car and I won't have a place to park.. so a rental would be perfect, right? Yeah, only problem is they run over $1k a month! :(

So, next option was Craigslist. I looked at several cars unfortunately none of them were right.  I need a car that I can use the next few months without any breakdown/issues that would be re-sellable in a few months. What to do??

Anyhow.. for now I'm just watching bollywood movies :)  If you enjoy bollywood movies - I suggest Hera Pheri - it is by far one of the funniest movies out of Bollywood. The songs are absolutely horrible, don't say I didn't warn you. :)
