5 Years Since Punahou

Today is my 5 year High School reunion at Punahou.  I won't be able to attend and eat delicious Hawaiian Food (haupia!), but I am MOST SAD that I won't be able to see my fellow class of 2005ers and most of all, my girls!  To all those who partied in high school, I do not envy you because you did not attend massive potlucks and film shorts about high aliens or hang out in the science center open lab.  Yes, we (the 13) were awesome and I wish 5 years later we could go back to being a crazy cult again.

Punahou was my first home.  My real home was just a place for me to sleep.  I can't imagine a better school with a glass lab, dark room or olympic-sized pool.  I miss Carnival, Holoku and dances--hopefully, in another 5 years, I can make our 10 year reunion.  Or someone get married soon (OPEN BAR)!

Home Sweet Hawaii - Day 2 + 3

Much of my time has been consumed with my first freelance copywriting gig. It's okay because I'm writing about tourist sites on the Windward side of Oahu (where I spend most of my time anyway) and because WRITING IS FUN. Duh. All in all, high school friend encounters are high and my alzheimers is kicking in. I blame Facebook.

Photo Recap:
Liliha Bakery custard pie and cream puff for breakfast. They upgraded their pie boxes to make it more contemporary, but I like the old no-frills green and white box that an old-time diner/bakery should have. Kailua Beach facing Kaneohe Bay

Ended the night with a delicious Italian dinner at Assagios in Kailua and had made-in-front-of-me Caesar Salad, Chicken Anchovy Olio pasta and homemade Spumoni for dessert. I passed out in a food coma an hour later and never woke up.

But I DID WAKE UP, and here's Day 3:
Visited Punahou with Jared. I totally forgot there's summer school so everything was closed early and I didn't get to go snack bar or bookstore.
