It's Show Time, Baby!

So sometimes my friends and I like to support one another in the things that we participate in. And when we do, we like to take pictures of these events so we have proof that we supported each other. That way when another thing comes around, you say okay I came to your thing, your turn now. Haha just kidding, we just take the pictures for the memories.
But in all seriousness Jared performed in the ROC show over the weekend and we went to support him. They did a great job, but my two favorite numbers were Fiji and Bolivia. (That's probably just because I'm Latin in my blood and Polynesian in my heart. See my previous blog posts if you don't believe me.) 

Jared came out in the Bolivia costume in the end for finale and I was so stoked to take a picture with him afterwards in costume, but he's kind of lame and changed into an ROC shirt. 

Also all brown people go to all brown people's things, so you're guaranteed to run into anyone and everyone. The picture above was me and la familia from the Conference Center performance back in October. But who else did I run into at this performance? Hmmmm....about 4 of my exes. I would politely say hi to all of them and talk for a few minutes while I can hear all my friends behind me talking, "I bet she dated that guy too." Yes, yes I did. The other guy I avoided? A Tinder match gone wrong. 

And all the girls were wearing leather jackets, so we couldn't pass up a photo opportunity. 

I Told You So

Remember back to my post a few weeks ago when I made poi balls and I put the title "Sometimes I Think I'm Poly." Well I told you so felt like a good title for today's blog. I danced in Luau a few weeks ago and got in touch with my Polynesian side. My little sister asked my why I dance in Luau but I've never danced in Fiesta. Good question Cece, maybe I'll dance in Fiesta next year just for you. 

But this has been my second year dancing in Luau and even though the early 6 AM every Saturday dance practice for 4 hours is a pain, it's always worth it in the end and I later find myself missing it. 

Although even if I feel like I put in lots of hours at practice, the instructors put in even more time. Seriously this couldn't have happened with wonderful people like Keoki, Kawehi, Kamaile, Kiana and Kira. (Apparently to be a luau instructor your name has to start with a K.) Mahalos to everyone that participated or came out to watch the show.

The Dance

Little sister went to Granger's Homecoming Dance a few weeks ago.
Here's a question for all readers:
How many people does it take to pin on a boutineer?

Answer: 6 and it still didn't stay. She ended up just safely placing the boutineer in his pocket.
