2010

Well I can't believe it's already 2010. I just got back into LA a couple days ago after being back home in Hawaii for about a month. I didn't go back during the summer, so I wanted to go back for the Christmas break for a while. I felt like I was waiting half the year just to finally go back. Life after graduation is so different from life during school, it's such a huge transition and then for the first time ever, I have never felt so homesick in my life. But it was a good month being back in Hawaii. Spent everyday pretty much chilling and hanging out with friends and family, but did a little work here and there. I have so many pictures, I'm going to have to split some up in different posts.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad, Mele Kalikimaka...Happy Holidays! I'm so glad to be back home in Hawaii for Christmas and New Years.

A Tribute to Ahi

One of the things I've missed about Hawaii is the food. Sure there's Hawaiian restaurants on the mainland, but it just isn't the same. There's L&L and there's restaurants like Ono Hawaii BBQ which we don't even have in Hawaii, so I don't think those really count. One of my most favorite food ever is spicy ahi. Every time I'm at a sushi restaurant in LA, I just have to get a spicy ahi roll or spicy tuna roll. I swear I could eat that everyday. I tried this restaurant, which I guess is new because I've never seen it before, called Spicy Ahi & BBQ. And that picture up there is a picture of the ahi bowl I got. If you've never been to Hawaii before, one of the local foods you must try is ahi and this is one of the places to go try it.





And of course, they serve BBQ too, hence the name of the restaurant. Just had a bite of it though, but it was great as well.

Business Card

I've been meaning to get my business cards printed for months but kept revising and redoing designs because I was never fully satisfied with them. They were either too simple or too much going on. Finally! After 6 months of coming up with a design idea every now and then, I finally came up with something I can settle with.

Shirt Designs

So I always had these two main ideas in my head that I always wanted to make into t-shirts. Pretty much a play on mainstream designs. If you're from Hawaii, you know you always see those shaka shirts that say "Hang Loose" on them. But I have never actually seen a girly and feminine version of them. And I've had two ideas deriving from the Thank You bags. This one and another one...which I guess is vulgar but would be funny. Well, I finally made the graphics for them last week when I actually had some free time. So now I'm back home and contemplating whether to get them screen printed or not and try to sell a few. Yay or nay?

Been Busy, Need a Break

Yes, I know Thanksgiving was about two weeks ago and now I'm finally posting pictures from them. I have just been so busy!













Some pictures from The Getty the other day. Not sure of what I enjoy more, the art or the view. Been so busy the past week with work. I'm now in Hawaii, just arrived today at noon. I can't believe I haven't been home in almost a year. I've just spent the whole day at home today, trying to relax. I miss the whole laid-back vibe here, something that took me almost three years to realize how much I actually miss it. Well, be expecting more pictures within the coming weeks.

Holiday Party

Here's some pictures from the holiday alumni party. One of the perks of being an alumni, free drinks, food, and goodies. It made me realize how I kind of miss school. I've been so used to seeing friends and classmates every week and now everyone has their own different schedule and it's pretty much an event if I ever see any of them. Aside from that, I spent my Thanksgiving in San Diego. It's so much more different than LA, it's nice getting out of here and its crazy hecticness. I'll post pictures in the next post. But I can't believe I'm already going home to Hawaii in about a week. I haven't been home in almost a year. I usually go during the holidays and for the summer but I didn't go this summer. Just had to much going on but I miss it so much. Eek, can't wait!
