Book Report

Well, my classmates probably think I'm such a freak. Only because I'm showing my blog again in class. Come on! I have been very busy with school, work and being engaged! so I don't mind blogging about homework. haha

Due to the fact that I'm getting married next month, I thought it is appropriate to pick a book that will have some sort of future benefit for me.

The book I have been reading is called How To Date Your Spouse, written by Lindsay K. Rietzsch.

Summary: The author writes that one has to learn and understand the language of the spouse through effective dating. Unique and very interesting topic but overall a very boring read. Its more like a crash test course for dummies that have no idea what their spouse is interested in or that just do not seem to understand the importance of understanding the needs of your spouse.

The author makes it clear that if one applies the principles taught within the book, it will strengthen a relationship and one will be able to learn the language of the spouse.
I encourage people to read the book, if they need to know why they should take their spouse on dates. Otherwise, don't worry about it!



Further readings,
Gary Chapman the five love languages. and the marriage you always wanted by same guy.

Engl. 315 - I'm going to show my blog in class today.

Aloha and welcome to atremendouslife.blogspot.com! Today, I'm assigned to give an oral report on the subject: 'online advertising,'

Well, this a blog, my blog, you heard of blogging before, right? I'm actually advertising. I'm advertising about MYSELF. weird. Thats not what I want to do. I want to inform my friends of my tremendous life. duh!!! Did you know that celebraties have blogs? my Engl. 201 teacher blogs and my future wife is into blogging too. I guess they got me into this. I'm so hooked to blogging. ;)

how about I'll state my opinion on online advertising. I don't like the stupid adds on facebook, they are annoying. also, I hate when other people on their blogs have a ton of adds. and they think they can make money with that. whatever? anyway. Online advertising is a big deal today. just think of craigslist.com, ebay.com and amazon.com, they actually make a ton of money and they use the web to their advantage. Well, they only way I could make money on my blog would be if I leave my phone number on hear and people pay to call me. if you know what I mean. jk :)

the above link, will bring you to a video on youtube.com that will explain more details about the tricks about online advertising.

its actually pretty fun to blog. Just go on blogger.com, create an account and start blogging in the blogiverse. you can add a music player, change your background, or syber stock your friends! alright, get started don't forget to add me to your friends list and you can drop a comment every once in a while.

Guess what? ... thats it for today! i know thats a pretty random post. thank you!

ALONE ;(

yep thats right, I'm alone now for the next 11 weeks, I will stay connected to her via cell phone and internet. Well, its been busy and now I finally get to have a break.



my adventure of the day ...
... started yesterday as I dropped Janelle and Kenson off at the airport. On my way home I could feel that the car would start to shake more and more, so I pulled over to see what is wrong and I checked all 4 tire I could see anything wrong, so I didn't think much at first and I kept driving. As I got close to home the shaking got worse and worse, and I realized that it must be the left back tire. Something wrong with it. So I slowed down to 15 mph and pushed the warn indicator button. Ipulled over every once in a while to let all the cars behind me pass. Anyway Long story short, IT WAS FLAT this morning, which I figured out last night that it must be a flat tire. The fun part is that this morning I had to pick up Scott and JM (now his wife :) lol) from the airport. Anyway I was lucky that Teren was friendly enough to drive me and we were able to pick em up.

second part to the story. We found a spare tire and changed to wheel. Which was exciting because the tire didn't cost a thing and it was pretty exciting the way we got the tire. lol


well, Thats a long entry. besides that I miss my future wife Jaimie aka fiance A LOT and I can't wait to see her again. in 11 weeks/ 10 weeks and like 5 days. haha

One more lame thing, I'll be back in school already on Monday. I'm NOT looking forward to that at all but I gotta deal with it, and I got lots of time, so if I keep myself busy, time will fly by and I'll be with HER.

My Job...

... was a little bit different last thursday and friday! Every year in the spring, the Fireknife competiton takes place at the PCC. Its a 3 evening long event and 2 of em take place at the Luau where I work at. Anyway its right after the regular luau that this takes place. So when that happens, we have to work so hard to get the area ready for and get 80 tables out and set up 200 chairs. its insane, it all goes by so fast and right as we finish setting up or as we are still cleaning the area in the back the people already come in. So a few employees were asked to stay the whole evening and watch the competition for free and right after that clock in and clean up and get the 80 tables back into place so we can have a normal luau again the next day. anyway lots of work and lots of fun.

the samoan drummers. oh btw. the fireknife is a samoan tradition!
ps. i tried uploading a video, but for some odd raeson it wouldn't let me. lame, so maybe next time.

time to catch up

Aloha and Hi!

I know I know, its been a while, my blog finally shows up on your blog list on the very top. YAY!

so, its already the mid of may and I haven't blog for a while so I'm going to catch up really fast. I don't have much time. I'm being very busy with school. I was stupid enough to sign up for 9 credits for a very short spring term that is only 6 weeks long. Classes start every day at 7:30 and Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:40 and on Tuesday and Thursday class ends at 10:50. A 3 hour class. WOW listening to the same teach for 3 hours twice a week. I'm glad its a very interesting class. i like it. I have another class that is on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday schedule from 12:10 till 2:20. GREAT!!! besides that I have my Supervisor Job at Luau, which I still LOVE!!!! yah right I love my job. and my girlfriend! So Sorry that I haven't blogged much but I'm sure you all understand. anyway....

Today at work, so funny. First, I took 3 people from India into the Luau and this gentleman tells me his wife should be already seated and if you've seen this place before you know its not easy to spot someone between 600 guests in the house. Anyway, as we are walking I, I'm pointing my finger at his face with the bottom of your hand up asking, "Do they look like you?" --- What a stupid question, DUH?!?!? of course his wife will look like him.... I mean did I really ask this question. anyway, a volunteer senior sister missionary heard it and she couldn't stop laughing about it. It was HILARIOUS. too funny. ;)

and the other thing, a couple from Guatemala interviewed me and video taped me about the IMU we have at Luau. its the pig that is cooked for like 10 hours with banana leaves. That was funny too. and they said I'll be on a TV show in Guatemala next month and they will send me the link so I can watch it too. LOL

Besides that, Jaimie and I had a great date the other saturday, we watched a sunset at duh sunset beach. the first picture is my favorite, i turned out amazing.


and the third wheel on our date, this random dog beach bum just decided to chill with us for a while until his friend showed up, so we had a double date. although the 2 dogs disappeared soon and were probably running around romanticly on the beach . lol anyway.

I just got done earlier on with an exam, which was my 3rd exam for this week. I had 2 exams on Monday, one was accounting 201 which I didn't do to well on it, and the other one was travel geography 230 I scored 94% on that one and I finished this evening with a Human Resource Management BUSM 327 class and I scored 87%. YAY!! I like being the good student (NOW thats what I girlfriends mother wants to hear! ;) love you) lol

lets see, oh one more funny thing.
So I want to change my job once again, one of those phases I guess!!! so I found out that the reservations at PCC had 3 openings and I went to apply for the job today and the response I got was that, "I can't apply for the job because I already have a job at PCC" are you kidding me. You seriously must be joking!!! not funny at all. okay. they told me I have to wait for a transfer period which the next will be starting May 26th in 2 weeks. Now, basically, be that time the job I wanted is most likely gone. and by the time I quit my current job. I have to put in a 2 weeks notice so basically after those 2 weeks would be over the job I want is gone and I would be without employeement. ISN'T THAT THE STUPIEST POLICY YOU EVER HEARD OF? especially because I'm a very loyal employee to PCC, they should check my file I have plenty of good reports, so why in the world would I not be able to get the new job that I want. LAME LAME LAME, I was so mad. I couldn't believe. GRRRRR RAR!!!

btw, RAR in dinosaur language means I LOVE YOU!!! ;)
