Finally.

I've finally found time to update. Well, more like I've had some sort of inspiration to write something. Life has been uneventful as of late. I'm boring!

On last Friday afternoon, I sent a short story to be published in the upcoming issue of SMART Magazine, a local lifestyle and fashion magazine aimed for the college-young professional crowd. I hope the editor will find my story to be amazing and won't have me turn in something else. I tried to address some issues that young Hawaii people face without being too preachy.

Work is blah. Maybe I'll write more about it when I'm not typing this at work.

Aaron and I are planning to move into our own place next year. We're aiming for moving out in May, but that all depends on what's available on the market. We'll probably rent instead of buy since I might go to grad school in a few years (now that I don't have to take the GRE for most of the schools in San Francisco, I'm more motivated to apply). So far I've come up with a list of expenses and things that we'll need to buy once we move in, and things that we'll need on a regular basis. This way I'll determine how much I can afford to spend on rent. I saw some really nice (and cheap) condos on Maui, but we won't be moving there any time soon. I wish that cost of living on Oahu was like the neighbor islands.

I'm still trying to write my novel, but it's hard when I'm so tired from work. Hopefully I'll have more motivation in the future. If all writers can pen novels while working their crappy day jobs, then I can too.

Aaron and I celebrate our two year anniversary this weekend. Hopefully we'll have pictures and I can post photos on this blog!

Okay, time to pretend that I'm working.
