Nov 16 view from airplane

Going back to Honolulu from Hilo..thought I would take a few pictures. Its not the clearest...but I think you can get the picture?! hehe It was really nice. I guess usually I am passed out before the plane takes off, but this time, I was able to keep my eyes open! hahah

View from Hilo Hawaiian Hotel Nov 15 2006

hey there! Like the view?~
Last week, I went to Hilo, Hawaii (Big Island) for a few days for some R&R. I like to go there to relax! Some think I am crazy to go there, but hey, the people are really nice, and i have a few nice friends there! So..why not, right?! Took a few pictures from the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel. Had a nice view of the ocean. It was a really nice while i was there. A little voggy, but no rain! First time going to Hilo and it didnt rain! It did rain durin the nite, but i was not outside, so it was all good! If you ever get a change to visit the Big Island, check out Hilo. I prefer Hilo over Kona. Its a little hot in Kona. Some say Kona is much better, cuase there might be a few more things you can do...but lots of tourist there. You be the judge!

yummi yumii!!

as you can see....here are a few ono looking goodies! And let me tell you, IT WAS ONO!! The round thing is some french puff pastry thingy...pavitiere?! I dunno wat its called, but let me tell you, it was ONO!! A friend of mines made it for my mom's birthday last month. It had an almond paste filling thingy...and OMG it was flaky kind of like a napple..but way ONO~er! hehe The petite goodes were ono too! I really liked the one with the red thingy on it. But actually, all 3 types were ono! I think the one with the coffee bean was a coffee cheesecake thingy. ONO! I wonder what my friend will make next?! heheh Its really nice of him to share these delicious goodies with me!

PF Chang's

Back in end of Sept, a few friends & I checked out PF Chang's @ Ward. We were very lucky to get seated right away...especially for a party of 12! This is not all the food that we ordered. To tell you the truth, i dont really remember what we ordered! I do know though...the spicy chicken, wrap thingys, mongolian beef, desserts were ONO! We had a really good waiter, unfortunately, i cant remember his name! Basc ially, everyone that had dinner that nite, all agreed the food was good. Then, i went again on another day, for lunch with a few friends...and it was not as good as the dinner! But i guess, all in all, i liked it. Next time i want to try a soup. Oh the lettuce wrap was really good. Oh and the crab wontons. I dont like crab, but i would eat that one! Yeah i know, i am strange like that! LMAO Well, dont take my word for it..you should just try it. I heard they are makin another one in waikiki...Dont know when that one will open up.
Ciao

I'm on Vacation!

I am on vacation for 10 days! I am really happy, cuase i have been workin my buttucks off! I am going to Hilo, Hawaii (Big Isle) for a few days of R&R. I am hoping to check out this Japanese Style dessert place...called Two Ladies Kitchen. They have really ONO (Delicious) mochi goodies, as you can see.

When i need a vacation to relax, i always go to Hilo. For some reason, its really relaxing for me. People there are really easy going, and very friendly. Slow paced there...but its nice to get away from Oahu. I hope to take a few nice pictures while there. I am not going to the Volcano Park, cause i have been there many times!

Have a great day...and enjoy Life!!
