ALOHA EVERYONE!!!
AFTER AN EXHAUSTING DAY, WE SLEPT VERY WELL AND WOKE UP EARLY THE NEXT MORNING TO START THE DAY RIGHT.
WHEN I POSTED ON FACEBOOK SEVERAL MONTHS AGO ABOUT MY SURPRISE TRIP FOR KAHEALANI, ONE OF DEAR HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE MESSAGED ME AND SAID SHE WILL BE IN LOS ANGELES THE SAME TIME WE'RE GOING TO BE THERE AND THAT WE SHOULD MEET UP. I WAS VERY EXCITED TO HEAR, I GRADUATED IN 1990 AND SHE GRADUATED IN 1991 AND WE ONLY MET UP ONCE IN 2010 FOR LIKE AN HOUR OR SO. AND NOW WE ARE GOING TO REUNITE AGAIN 9 YEARS LATER!!!
SHE GAVE ME A LOCATION AND KAHEALANI WAS ALREADY HUNGRY AS ALWAYS... LOL!!!
WE MET AT "GLORIA'S CUISINE" FOR BREAKFAST.

REUNITED WITH MY CLASSMATE, CORA LEE PICTURED IN THE MIDDLE. |
IT WAS SO GOOD TO REUNITE WITH CORA LEE AND ERICA. WE STARTED YAPPING AWAY ABOUT OUR HIGH SCHOOL MEMORIES. CORA LEE WAS IN MY MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DRAFTING CLASS. WE BOTH WERE IN THE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ADVANCED CLASS. CORA LEE WAS PRETTY MUCH ADVANCED IN MOST OF HER CLASSES, IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I THINK SHE HAD PRE-COLLEGE COURSES AS WELL AND SHE WAS ONLY A JUNIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.
SO I HAVE A FUNNY STORY TO SHARE WITH ALL OF YOU.
IN MY JUNIOR YEAR I GOT A PART TIME JOB WORKING AT THE ALOHA STADIUM AND THERE WAS THIS FINE HOT CHIC WHO WAS HIRED A YEAR AFTER ME AND I WANTED TO IMPRESS HER AND EVENTUALLY ASK HER OUT.
MY FIRST IMPRESSION OF HER WHEN I FIRST MET HER, SHE APPEARED TO BE A NERD, BUT A HOT NERD WITH THEM GEEK GLASSES AND SHE ALWAYS HAD HER HAIR IN A BUN BUT I ALWAYS KNEW HER HAIR WAS SUPER LONG AND SHE BECOMES A WICKED HOT BABE WHEN SHE LETS HAIR DOWN, YEAH YOU GET THE PICTURE.
BY THE WAY, THIS IS NOT THE GIRL I'M TALKING ABOUT.
SO I FIGURE IF I COULD SOMEHOW GET HER TO THINK I'M SMART AT HER LEVEL, THEN I MIGHT HAVE A CHANCE OF MAKING A GOOD IMPRESSION. AND HERE'S WHERE CORA LEE COMES IN, CORA LEE WAS CURRENTLY IN "A.P. CALCULUS", "PHYSICS II", AND "EXPOSITORY WRITING" CLASSES. LIKE I SAID EARLIER, CORA LEE IS SUPER SMART AND I'D ASKED HER IF I COULD BORROW HER TEXTBOOKS FROM ALL OF HER CLASSES FOR THE WEEKEND IF SHE DIDN'T NEED THEM. SHE WOULD ASK ME WHY AND I'D TELL HER THE ENTIRE STORY AND SHE WAS LAUGHING HER ASS OFF BUT SHE'D LET ME BORROW HER BOOKS IF SHE DIDN'T NEED THEM. AND THERE I AM HEADING TO WORK WITH MY HEAD UP HIGH AND PASSING BY MY HOT CO-WORKER WHILE MAKING A COMMENT THAT I GOT A LOT OF HOMEWORK TO DO IN BETWEEN. AND OF COURSE SHE WOULD ASK ME WHAT KIND OF HOMEWORK I'M DOING, SO I BUST OUT ALL OF MY SMART BOOKS AND I'M WAITING TO SEE HER REACTION AND SHE HER REPLY, "WOW... I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THEY HAD THESE SUBJECTS IN HIGH SCHOOL, WAY TOO ADVANCED FOR ME, I ALMOST DIDN'T GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL". YOU COULD IMAGINE MY "DEER IN HEADLIGHT" LOOK. I WAS SHOCKED AND DISAPPOINTED IN MYSELF. I MADE AN ASS OUT OF MYSELF AND SHE WAS NOWHERE AS SMART, SHE WAS JUST BASIC LEVEL SHIT, BUT THE GOOD NEWS WAS SHE WASN'T HARD TO ASK HER OUT ON DATES AND THAT IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW BECAUSE,
IF YOU KNOW... YOU KNOW!!!
😈😈😈😈😈
WHEN I RETOLD THIS STORY TO CORA LEE, I COULD TELL THAT ERICA AND KAHEALANI WAS LIKE... OOOKKKKAAAYYYY!!!
IT'S IN THE PAST AND I CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT WITH CORA LEE AND WE HAD A BLAST CATCHING UP WITH OLD MEMORIES OF HIGH SCHOOL.
MY BEST FRIEND FROM HIGH SCHOOL, CORA LEE!!! |
CORA LEE & ERICA, IT WAS SUCH A BLESSING TO MEET UP OF ALL PLACES AND I'M SO HAPPY FOR THE BOTH OF YOU AND IT GIVES ME PURPOSE TO GO HOME TO HAWAI'I EVEN MORE OFTEN. AND I'M HAPPY THAT KAHEALANI WAS PART OF THIS REUNION, SHE HAD SO MANY QUESTIONS AFTERWARDS ABOUT WHAT WAS I LIKE IN HIGH SCHOOL AND IF I WAS A "MANWHORE", I NEVER EXPECTED TO HEAR THAT COMING OUT OF KAHEALANI'S MOUTH, SHE IS DEFINITE NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE.
ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
TAKE CARE CORA LEE AND ERICA, I WILL BE IN TOUCH FROM TIME TO TIME. ALOHA A HUI HOU!!!
SO WE HAD A WHOLE DAY AHEAD OF US AND KAHEALANI REALLY LIKED WHITTIER SO WE WENT BACK TO SPEND THE DAY WALKING AND CHECKING OUT SHOPS AND STORES.
I SWEAR WHITTIER REMINDS OF PLACE LIKE A TOWN FROM THE FILM, "BACK TO THE FUTURE" STARRING MICHAEL J. FOX.
WHICH I LATER FOUND OUT THAT "WHITTIER HIGH SCHOOL" WAS THE "HILL VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL" WHERE MARTY MCFLY WENT TO!!!
HILL VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL |
WHITTIER HIGH SCHOOL |
THE SAME SCHOOL FROM THE MOVIE!!!
AND MORE PICS OF OUR DAY VISIT IN THE BEAUTIFUL TOWN!!!
AS THE DAY WAS ENDING WE HAD TO HEAD BACK TO THE HOTEL AND GET READY FOR THE EVENING, KAHEALANI STILL HAS NO IDEA!!!
WE STOPPED BY AT A NEARBY STARBUCKS FOR SOME SNACKS... SHE STILL HAS NO CLUE!!!
SURPRISE AND HAPPY BELATED SWEET 16 KAHEALANI!!! |
KAHEALANI WAS VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED!!! SHE WAS LIKE, HOW DID I KNOW THAT SHE WANTED TO SEE THIS MUSICAL, I SAID "I DIDN'T KNOW".
KAHEALANI HAS AN INTERERST IN ARCHITECTURAL ARTS AND HERE ARE THE SOME OF THE PICTURES SHE TOOK.
THE DOORS ARE OPEN FOR SEATING!!! |
WE GOT GOOD SEATS, NOT TOO CLOSE BUT PERFECT TO SEE EVERYTHING!!! |
THE FAMOUS CHANDELIER!!! |
THE "PANTAGES THEATER" IN HOLLYWOOD IS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND IS MAINTAINED VERY WELL. IT GAVE A FEEL LIKE I WAS IN THE ROARING 20'S ERA.

AFTER THE MUSICAL, KAHEALANI WAS IN TEARS AS MUCH AS I WAS IN TEARS TOO, WE BOTH WANTED THE PHANTOM TO HAVE THE HAPPY ENDING. IT WAS A GREAT MUSICAL AND IT HAS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE MUSICAL FOR YEARS. THE SOUNDTRACK, THE STORYLINE, THE SETTING, THE ERA OF THE OLD FRANCE... JUST PERFECTLY WELL WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY ANDREW LOYD WEBBER!!!
ANOTHER ACCOMPLISHED "FATHER & DAUGHTER" MOMENT!!!
