Birthday Bash Part 3

WARNING...Beep beep...WARNING...To get the full effect of Tamara's birthday bash please start at Part 1.

Now...for the moment you've all been waiting for! The end to my quarter of a century birthday. As I told you before I have some pretty amazing friends who went above and beyond their call of duty...and you will soon see why.

When we got home Hannah had the greatest birthday presents waiting for me EVER...

Contemplating what is in the bag...dun, dun, dun

I am coming out of the closet...I am a Edward GROUPIE!!! I LOVE EDWARD!!! I feel so relieved to get that off my chest.

Hannah is da best mom ever...she buys me slippahs when mine get holes...I wear these 24/7 12 months a year...see my happy face.

After I opened my presents i was then locked in my room for about an hour...I could hear strange smells and sounds coming from the kitchen where 3 lil Polys were brewing something up. An hour later I received a mysterious phone call telling me to meet at the pavilion. I wonder who that was...

SURPRISE!!! They had made a beautiful cake Poly style



After the cake Urshi and Matu decided to duel it out on their ukuleles...
While I was listening to the jam session, which by the way was a pretty sneaky decoy...I got the Samoan Birthday Surprise...and boy was I surprised...

Before After

But...Pay back was sweet!!! Buahaha!!!

The Perfect Ending to a Quarter of a Century

Birthday Bash Part 1

So I promised knew blog posts and I know I've been awful at doing it. It's midnight now and I am wide awake so I thought, what the hell why not update my blog.

The world was blessed with a very special person 25 years ago at 7:00am on October 5th. Can you guess who this special person is???? You guessed it...Your's TRULY!!!

This year I wasn't too excited to be turning a quarter of a century...can you blame me? Actually...it was pretty down right depressing...I realized that a quarter of a century more I would be half a century old!!! Sorry to all those of you reading that are close or passed...hehe! But I had some great friends who pulled me out of my misery and showed me a good time.

The day started out serving our fellow men here in Kahuku Hawaii. A couple of great friends went with me to a service project that I was assigned to do for my internship...I know, I know, all of you were thinking I was doing the service on my birthday because I am such a kind hearted person, sorry to disappoint you...;) But it was great anyway. The Kidney Foundation was doing free screenings and they needed volunteers to help the people fill out their paperwork.

While there we also got to meet Representative Magaoy along with some other amazing members of Kahuku who gave us all free pizza, Tshirts, bumperstickers and posters all about him...not too bad for a service project ya!

After the service project we came home for a little break and refreshment before getting ready to go out for the REAL birthday celebrations.

Knock Knock...who's there? Orange...Orange who?
Orange you glad to see me!!!

It's been so long...

Sorry everyone for taking so long to write...I've been crazy busy starting my new semester..and final semester of my bachelor life!!! Wahoo!!! I will be graduating on December 13th with my Bachelors in Social Work...YAY!!! So I am doing my internship at Kahuku Medical Center focusing on Psychosocial assessments and crisis intervention. So weird description for basically two simple words PAPER WORK!!! And so starts my life as a social worker...haha! I do a lot with the geriatric unit, that is my main focus, and if any emergencies that happen require a Social Worker then we are also called in. But my main focus has been with the elderly. It's been kind of rough just because I am not used to such a slow pace, and it's not very exciting in the geriatric unit...which is probably a good thing because if it gets exciting that means someone has died. But its given me a lot of great learning experience that I know I can use in the future.

More to come with the recent happenings...to be CONTINUED!!!
