Suffering from Social Media: Guilty

I am definitely guilty of being obsessed with technology. I seriously cannot go even five minutes without looking at my phone, checking facebook, browsing twitter, glancing at instagram, etc. etc. etc.

So I found this awesome video, actually I found it for a class project, but then I just re watched it. It is great, and a must watch.

Plus, I loooove the music. 

 

enjoy.

 

ENGAGED!!

I know, I know.

It's been more than forever.

Buuuuut, I have more free time now and I feel that I have something actually worth blogging about.

 

So...

Perry and I are ENGAGED!!

Finally!

Here's the scoop.

My parents took my brother and me to Hawaii for our graduation presents

(His from high school, mine from college)

and we flew down on Thursday, August 16.

We hung out, relaxed, went on some hikes for two days,

then...

Perry flew down on Saturday, August 18,

surprised me,

and proposed on the beach!

Of course, I said yes.

 

We were staying in Ko Olina, on the island of Oahu.

Ko Olina is a neighborhood and then has a bunch of resorts.

It has all of these personal Lagoons and a personal marina.

On Saturday, my dad decided he wanted to go for a walk to check out this luau BUT not go to the luau, and then see Lagoon #2 (Honu) because we hadn't been to that one yet.

I, of course, was a little upset, because on Friday we spent the whole day on the Lagoon's and already had walked around to see everything, so I didn't understand why we were taking a walk then.

Plus we can just look at the luau information online.

So we were walking on the path; my dad was almost running and getting mad at me for walking so slow.

I got bored and tried calling Perry, of course, he didn't answer. Strange.

I then turned the corner and boom!

Wait, wait, wait. Let me rewind.

The night before we drove into the International Market off of Waikiki beach,

and I swear I saw Perry there. A guy with long hair, white tee, and basketball shorts was walking around. Later that night, I saw about 2 other guys that looked exactly like Perry.

On the Pacific Islands, imagine that?

So back to the story.

I turn the corner and on the beach in the distance was this guy that looked exactly like Perry -

couple things, not wearing a white tee, not wearing gym shorts, and has his hair in a pony tail, not a bun.

So I looked away, thinking "that isn't Perry, he doesn't dress like that. It is probably just another one of 'those guys'."

I then looked again, and again, and again. But I continued walking.

My brother then says, "Ky, do you want to throw rocks into the water?" While pointing into the location of this Perry doppelganger.

I finally said to my mom, "Is that Perry?"

My mom says, "Auuhhh! You better go see him!!" Real surprising, huh?

So then I walked up to him, at this point he was waving to me.

And I gave him a hug, but he didn't pull away.

He kept rubbing my arms, very fast, and was breathing really heavily.

Or I guess he was more short of breath while talking.

I knew something was going to happen then.

He then said, "I just wanted to come see you, and do something else."

He proceeded to display his love for me, tell me how he wants to spend the rest of his life with me,

and then got down on one knee and asked me to marry him!

Of course, by this point we are both crying like newborn babies.

And like previously mentioned, I said yes!

My family and his two cousins were waiting for us and taking pictures on the walkway. It was definitely so surprising!

My brother didn't focus, and you can't hear anything, but here is the video.

 

 

It was SO romantic and I loved every minute of it!

I have never been happier. Ever!

bless-sed.

hi. It's me, Kylie. Remember?
it's been forev.
.
I have been so busy loving my life,
that I forgotten all about the blog world.
my apologies.
.
if you haven't heard the fantastic news,
I am one of the newest members of the College of Social Work!
thaaaank you.
after a very stressful delayed amount of time,
I finally got accepted.
It was the best day of my life,
and I literally bawled with joy.
so take that, all you haters.
.
secondly, I have the best life ever.
as I mentioned before, I am now stress-free.
well less stressed,
and I am just loving every minute of my life.
oh - pre-script (p.s.?) this post is rather sappy.
I have the best jobs in the world,
participating in my passions -
dance and helping others.
I am surrounded by wonderful people,
family, Perry, fabulous new friends.
And I am feeling great about everything I do.
.
I have never been more grateful or thankful for my life
and position in life right now.
I also don't think I will ever be able to express my gratitude for
everyone being there for me,
supporting me,
believing in me,
or loving me.
You are all the best!
.

another.

You might remember this post last january,

and yes, you guessed it.

There is another new addition.

Perry went on Saturday to pay his last payment of the

TV/entertainment system/blu-ray/house/teleporter/surround sound,

but instead of celebrating his not-in-debt-ness,

he bought another one.

for his room.

I will admit though,

I persuaded him a bit.

for the last 5 times we went to make his payments,

he forced me to go look at new tv's

telling me which one he wanted.

so when we went to look this time,

I said just do it.

like nike.

yes, it's true

we both have an impossible time saving money,

however when we want something

the money appears from thin air.

.

also,

in case you didn't know,

I went back blond.

20-11

I know everyone is doing it,
and it is getting rather annoying,
but I figure I might as well post about the new year.
.
While I am constantly setting new WEEK resolutions for myself,
I was thinking,
"does anyone seriously think of and hold to their new years resolution?"
I think not.
So,
as discussed at dinner tonight,
my new years resolution is the same as my grandma's.
to stop smoking.
that way we don't disappoint ourselves.
.
2010 brought a lot of fun with it,
but like everyone else is saying I'm ready for 2011.
[p.s. I cannot stand it when people say "twenty eleven."
are you really that lazy?]
I had a great year,
great birthday,
wonderful christmas,
and a fabulous new years eve.
But 2011 will be better.
one reason: I'll be 21.
.
now,
I'm not a raging alcoholic.
but there is just something.
something about turning 21 that says to me
hey you're an adult.
[pronounced add-ult.]
it also means I am that much closer to graduating.
thaaaank you.
.
Happy New Year!
to 'TWENTY-ELEVEN'
ha!

the big man.

almost a week and a half ago,

I was doubting my belief in the big man upstairs,

but truly believed his hatred for me.

I was so angry,

and couldn't understand why things happen the way they do.

[for the second time in my life]

but then,

today,

I got the best call.

a job,

a great job,

that perfectly works with my schedule,

gets me social work hours,

and just seems so fun,

and I knew,

someone upstairs must love me.

someone upstairs likes to put me through a lot of shit,

where I am forced to contemplate quiting,

but instead knows I can do it,

and in return gives me the opportunity of a lifetime,

that works so perfectly with my life right now

that I am in total shock that it is true.

I am expecting in about 5 minutes

to be woken up by my annoying alarm clock,

and then have reality smack me in the face again.

But instead this time,

there are no flying people,

crazy coincidences,

and no drooling.

so,

big man,

this is my way of saying,

thank you,

i love you too.

prior engagements.

cleeoh.

This picture has nothing to do with the post,

but look how cute she is.

.

Dear wonderful blog readers,

all 3 of you.

.

College is hard. A lot harder than high school.

You actually have to study.

You don't just get a grade for going to class,

you have to do actual work.

and it sucks.

.

It just hit me today,

that if I want to get into grad school,

I need a lot higher GPA than what I have now.

so, due to prior engagements,

I am going to have to take a leave of absence on the bloggy.

.

I wish there was another solution,

since my blogs are so good,

and since I post all the time.

[ha ha]

but I need to buckle down and focus on my studies.

.

However, little side note,

I love this semester so far.

If all my college classes were just like these classes,

I would love college more than anything.

.

I might on rare occasions post a little somethin' somethin'.

But I am just warning you now,

it is not going to be a regular post.

.

Until winter break my friends!

peace.
