This is one of the rock formation that I consider beautiful, although it is man made but it's really pretty in my opinion. This was taken on a man made fresh water swimming hole by a "not public" trail to the waterfalls. I just wish that they will keep this place low on guards so me and my friends could always come back and have fun swimming. We don't really care about the waterfall although it is beautiful and gentle but the fact that we cannot swim on it (only shower if you wish) and not as fun as swimming on it like Maunawili.

I saw one show on TV that features video conferencing. It's pretty neat that companies can benefits from this and they should check ActConferencing.com video conferencing., it will be easier for companies to hold meeting through this with less cost than sending their employees different locations. They offer different services like Video events, Video conference room rentals and more.
One of my friends is trying to get me into office job in a bank, she is telling me about meetings and so on that makes me wonder if they do their meetings and video conferencing.

This hike is not in our plan, we usually pick out short easy hikes when the kids are coming, or short hikes is for last minute change of plans. Personally, I was never interested on hiking Makapuu lighthouse and set it aside until winter time when the breeze is cooler and the sun is not scorching hot and for whale watching.
Our plans last Saturday was Lua'alaea but I really don't know the trail and somebody was a bit hesitant due to the latest accident that happened couple months ago.
We're bouncing Makapuu and Kahaluu waterfalls with the majority vote for a waterfall to swim. Off waterfall we go but since we have so much time in our hands, so two of my friends and I decided to hike Makapuu and took a side trip to Pele's chair.
It was such a fun day starting at the waterfall, we enjoyed diving at the swimming hole. I am glad that the group appreciate and enjoyed the Waterfall hike.
I admit that I was blown away by the scenery of Makapuu lighthouse, never expected it to be that beautiful. I will definitely come back with friends or when I need a short hike. I will never look at Makapuu lighthouse the same way, now she got my respect and admiration. 

Most of my friends are physically fit; they always go to the gym and sporting nice muscles. Some of them built muscle through heavy workout but some of them needs the help of supplements. I was reading syntheroid review because I am interested on it, also I might suggest my brother to go under it for couple months until he built muscles on the areas he wants so he can easily maintain it after. I'm hoping that it will work on him.

As always change of plan again. We are planning to Hike the either "Lua'alaea" waterfall or "Hamama" waterfall but some of the group members decided to hike Macapuu point. Although it is a nice spot to hike and I never been to this trail but I'm kind of disappointed when they suddenly change plans.
That's one reason why I can't wait for the group and squeeze in hikes in between because when I want to check out a trail which is new to me, I want to do it yesterday. There are so many trails in Oahu alone which will take me years to check them all especially when we are only doing two hikes a months. There are over 80 trails in Oahu public and private plus the connector trails. Twice a month will be less than 24 trails a year so it will take me 5 years to do almost all the trails which I simply CANNOT wait!

I saw one of my friends posted a picture of her twin girl's bedroom on facebook. They just redecorated the girl's room because they are getting bigger putting new furniture and new bed. They got them mattress which is twin over twin bunk beds for girls. It is so cute with pink paint with summer colored bedding. The girl's love it so much I can tell from their pictures. I am planning to put a bunk bed in one of our guest rooms in case we got visitors like my step daughter and her family. 

Koko head is 1,208 feet elevation. This is a very good cardio hike if your looking for a real workout hike. But you have to do it early in the morning at around 6 to 7am.
We are planning to hike this again soon with my friends. Maybe nest week, I am excited to this again because I'm ready to loose a thousand calories in one hike. This is one of my favorite hike adding to my list that includes Kuliouou and Lanipo.

I have been working in retail business for almost 3 years now, been to different departments and choose to stay in clothing department. I love our customers and working with clothing although there are time during busy days that we have as much as 6 rolling racks to "go back" on the floor. We also have few rolling coat rack. I am thinking of buying a new coat rack for our home since the one we currently have is old, that might be a good idea before winter season comes.

My mother-in-law is planning to retire at NC close to my sister-in-law. She is currently looking at this house that she wanted to buy, big enough for her children to use it as vacation home with enough room. Although she does not need big space for herself but she said family could always come visit and stay with her. There is some remodeling that she wants to be done especially the kitchen. She contacted raleigh kitchen remodeling to get the quote and look on their work. She did choose best company in NC, their job is awesome.

This was taken after my first Hike ever! I was so tired after my first ever hike, the hike was muddy and drizzling. When I got home I saw this rainbow by our area and rushed down to get a good picture of it. What an awesome day, gotta love Hawaii for the Nature and the beauty of the island.

My step daughter has two boys and a girl, yeah she is fast. The boys are 8 and 2 and a new born baby girl. She put the two boys in one room and decorated it with boy colors, I helped her on finding baby boy bedding for the young one and also a little bit big boy stuff for the older one. The boys seem so happy sharing one room because there are best friends, so cute watching her young family which makes my husband and me volunteer on watching the kids once or twice a month.

I have read blogs about this elusive waterfall which 90% of most people who attempted on finding it the first time failed. Yes it's true in my case because we failed the first time we attempted and I am planning a group hike on the finding the waterfall this coming Saturday. Armed with blog write-up directions, all I can say is "good luck to us". I heard there's about 4 waterfall at Manoa alone. I found one, looking forward on finding the rest.

Our home is now more organized and cleaned looking since we got our new tv mount stand for our flat screen. We want our living room to look minimalist with a modern twist to it so the mount stand is really perfect to sport the clean look. Thanks to my supportive husband who had help me pull out the modern look and agreed on my ideas. Now we are peacefully enjoying movies and shows every night after work.
 

I am waiting for my 2 year contract to end with our current cell phone carrier, I might switch to another carrier or stay but I am sure that I will get a new phone which is apple ipod touch. I been waiting for a year to get this phone, one reason I like ipod is for the music that I can download and will be handy for hiking, also for picture taking and "face time" with the family. My contract will be up next month that I'm getting excited each day.

We are invited to my nice birthday party, she is a sweet little girl and love doll houses. I saw this cute farm stool for her room, it can be a step stool for the sink and also storage for her little toys. I know she will love this because it has a cute farm drawing on it perfect for the house shape dresser. I love my niece and nephew so much that I volunteered to baby sit them and take them to the park or go fishing at the pond at least once or twice a month.

Since I got hook on Hiking the Island of Oahu, I always take time in a day to check out the trails that I have never been. There are more than 50 listed trail ranging from novice, intermediate to advance, there are more trails because of the connectors. I have done intermediate hikes and looking forward in doing advance and go from there. I am trying to make myself comfortable on heights and steep drop ridges. I'm getting better on dealing with heights and I am really happy about it. It means that I can do connector trails at the summits of Koolau's. 
I have the list that I've printed from HTMC (Hawaiian Trail & Mountain Club) , I also have the Na Ala Hele list & I also have two hiking books guides and one is considered as "the Hiking Bible". It only means one thing That I really enjoy and love hiking and being close to nature.
