Hello!

It's not that far along from the last time i've blogged but I'm bored and wanted to update. I've decided that I'm going to take the CPA for real this time. I've given it a lot of thought and in order to be able to excel in my career, I'm going to need this. I really want to prove to myself that I can do this. For a while now, I've been avoiding trying to take it because I was afraid the "what if" factor of if I didn't pass. What if I can't do it, what if I'm not smart enough, what if I just invested all that money into studying just to fail. I recently went to a conference for work where they had a motivational speaker and he pretty much opened my eyes and I saw what I've been afraid of this whole time. He explained that in order to grow, you need to face your fears. I didn't realize that I was afraid of the CPA that's why I was trying to consider other options to avoid it such as taking my masters degree. But then when I actually thought about it, taking my masters would be a waste of time and money unless I'm trying to concentrate more on a specific aspect of the accounting field. If I don't face my fears, or try this, I will never know whether or not I could of done it. I would be stuck doing what I'm doing the rest of my life and I'll be thinking "what could I have been if I got my CPA?" I don't want to sit there and think "what if" I want to actually do it and prove to myself that if I can do this, I can do anything. This is truly my biggest goal and I want to prove to myself and everyone else who has doubted me that I'm not dumb, I am smart, I can do this.

No matter how hard it is, I can't wait to get to the other side where I can proudly say that I have completed and passed all exams. There's no stopping me now. I need to motivate myself and push myself to the limit because I know that I can do it. 

Okay, I think I just wanted to update to show where my life is heading. Hopefully.

Til next time!

Hi again,

It's already April! How crazy is that?! Nothing much happened in the past few months, just working and saving money. Let's see... January was kinda boring, all I did was work work work, February was the same, had a good valentines day with my bubba at Broadway Prime which was super yummy.. then March rolled along and it was time for HAWAII! We were just there a few days ago and I'm having major withdrawals. The sun, the weather, the whole entire trip was just AMAZING! We went to the beach, then to Pearl Harbor, then we went to the North Shore where we were at Waimea beach then went to town to have Giovanni's shrimp truck and Matsumoto's shaved ice -- that was delicious! :) Then we went to the swap meet which was a flea market and bought some cool gifts and went to a luau that night where bubba was picked to dance on the stage! hehe that was tons of fun. On our very last full day, we stayed in the beach almost the entire day and both me and bubba got sun burnt. haha we are pretty dark. Here are a few pictures from our trip..

Definitely having withdrawals looking at pictures and videos.. it was a super fun (& expensive) trip but worth every penny.

Now I'm planning on trying to plan another trip. Not sure when yet but we would like to go to Florida to go to Disneyworld! That would be super awesome!! I can definitely go anytime but Gee has to see when he is available when he's not in school/working and such. Hopefully in the summer is what I'm looking at.

Bubba's birthday is right around the corner and I got him some awesome gifts, or to me they're awesome so I hope he likes it too. :)

I don't know what else to write but til next time.

AAALOOOHHAAA! :)
