I am so pau.
hahaha I am using my local language, so proud.
I am exhausted but happy, I guess. The great news is that Friday night I, along with two of my trainee peers, was promoted to Kenny Endo Taiko Ensemble Member status!! A huge honor indeed, but of course along with it comes the pressure to step it up and really get my shit down. Which is great incentive of course, I just have to live up to it.
I'm also proud of my kids this weekend. This conference, put on by the Pacific and Asian Affairs Council - the nonprofit that employs me to teach this class - was the first experience they had to be at that kind of an event, with so many other students studying the same things, and really talking about things like global civic and community involvement/engagement. It was a good bonding experience for them all, that's for sure. Makes me love them all that more - I wish I could give them the world.
Anyhow, I wanted to post some Halloween pictures, since they are way overdue:
Yin and Yang! Kels was yin, me yang. Isn't it great?Seriously, this costume is the first I've been proud of since Trinity back in high school (hahahah don't remind me...).
Yes, that's right, it's DOUBLE SIDED.
Which means the above was also possible. It just worked in so many ways. If you notice in the first picture, even our bracelets matched. Brilliant.Yes so the pictures on my camera end there because I knew I would be too drunk to NOT lose the precious cam. It was an amazingly fun, drunken night out on Waikiki, looking at great costumes like girl with painted boobs or the "down on the count" costume - some haole guy with his shorts around his ankles wearing a count dracula costume, with a blowup doll attached to his crotch. Fun stuff.
I had 4 gin and tonics for Alex Lowe, as promised. He was honored.
So that's all I've got for now. Home countdown: 11 days!!
