On Saturday, I spent the day volunteering at the annual Okinawan Festival at Kapiolani Park. I got dizzy from the work, but I met a lot of really adorable kids. <333 I always look forward to shopping around the booths after the shift is over~ this year, I bought so many things!
Ramune drinks! Left to right: Peach (new!) and orange
You CANNOT imagine how long I've been eyeing this. I ate two on Sunday and they did not disappoint. Yummy things, these are. ^^
Yes, I did buy a venus flytrap! Although people's eyes pop open when I tell them I bought a carnivorous plant (some people didn't even know it existed), it's really tiny. I wonder if they will really eat the mosquitoes and bugs that come flying into our apartment. D<
Kabocha! Since kabochas are smaller than American pumpkins, I thought they'd be easier to grow on our balcony but I'm still not sure how big kabochas are exactly...hehe. ^^; This was only $1.00 so why not?
Sunday went by slowly...I tried to spend the day finishing my homework, but I only got a few math problems done. What got in the way was the novel, "The Crimson Thread" by Suzanne Weyn. It's a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin and I couldn't stop reading it. Later in the afternoon, I got a call from a friend to attend a birthday party so I ended up not doing any homework that night. XP
It was really fun though~ her apartment is really tiny and cute. Although there was no television, we all managed to keep ourselves occupied by talking and laughing. We ate Chinese food and ended with strawberry ice cream cake from Cold Stone.
After eating, we took pictures, played card games, and made a lot of noise. xD I was worried that the neighbors would complain, but the birthday girl assured me that we could laugh until it was 10:00pm. After 10, it was difficult for us to shut up so we eventually went home around 10:30pm.
On Sunday, I studied calculus with a bunch of classmates the whole day. It was actually my first time studying with other people. I thought I wouldn't be able to concentrate, but I did get fifty problems done (even though there was a lot of chatting going on). I think I rather like studying with everyone~ it made doing the work more fun. ^o^
