Reading my devotion...

You know it's super hard forgetting what someone has done to you in the past that really hurt so super bad...I mean I always forgive that person for what they have done to me in the past, but yeah it's just hard forgetting alot of things in my past...I know the past is the past, but it's just super hard to forget...I mean it's not eating me up like how it use too, but it's just something I can't ever forget it happened...I mean not only once it happens twice in fact...Yeah but I know that I need to forget about it, and I'm trying...I know it will take time...I always wanted to be just happy, and never angry nor sad...I don't like upsetting people as well, and it does make me feel really bad when I do upset someone, and didn't mean to do so...so right away when I know i said something wrong or hurt someone, and didn't mean too I always say i'm sorry right away...yet it eats me up later for doing something to someone...=(  yup but past is past...and just need to learn how to forgive and forget...=) 

Excersing...

For the past couple of days haven't been excersing the way I should be...I'm glad Donna and I attended Karate both on Saturday as well today...after that excerise at Karate class gave me more energy...even though after excerise had McDonalds for dinner...but boy oh boy did the french Fries taste extra good...LOL...But yup we will be excersing once again on Wednesday...I sure will need it...hehe...blading w/Nemo and Donna sounds really nice...=)

A Dear friend getting shipped to Iraq...

This morning woke up to my phone going off from a dear friend Jerry...it still makes me sad knowing he's getting ready to get deployed to iraq...I'm wondering if he's afriad going, or is he ready to go?...I told him this morning when I found out he was getting deployed to iraq made me feel really sad...he told me don't worries...I'll be ok!...sometimes I wonder why things have to be this way sometimes...Why does God have to send all these men, and women out there?...I wish sometimes there could be peace all over, and no war, and fighting, makes me so sad...from Sis Hubs getting sent out, and now my buddy Jerry...everytime my phone goes off,and it's jerry thats all I can think about...if he's afraid, and what he's thinking...=(  I honestly think was super shock to get the news...I know in time he knew he had to go...but I also knew from awhile back when the guys from schofield was getting shipped out, I remember asking him Jerry will you be getting shipped out too?...He goes I hope not...and this was like hmmm?...sometime ending of last year...right now he's doing his trainning at Schofield...then he has rest, then more trainning then he will be leaving...they will doing there second trainning in the mainland I think...and from there on either leave stright to Iraq or come back here then leave...all I can do is keep on praying for these men and women who are already in Iraq, and protecting our country, and as well for the men and women who will be leaving to take over for the ones who are there now...

Early morning thoughts...

Yes I know i'm still up...I know it's late once again...LOL...I just got done reading my Sis entry...Reading her entry also made me wake up and smell the coffee...that I haven't been doing good things lately...Like for one reading the bible...2 haven't gone to church the past two weeks...and last one 3 haven't been spending time w/God the way I should be...=(  Since tomorrow is my day that is on my list to do read the bible atleast 1/2 - 1 hour reading...I should be doing that everyday from now on...make it a morning thing or something I do before heading off to bed since i'm always going to bed super late...I should be spending more time reading, and less time on the computer durning the day...

Okie this again...lol...it's weird this time of the hour my brain is still going...I wish I could just fall asleep,and go to bed early since I will have to be doing that when Aug. comes, and need to start waking up super early for school...and going to bed much earlier so I can have my full thinking cap on when i'm in class,and not fall asleep...hehe...okie there are other things that are on my mind right now, but I'll save it for later...LOL...I need to lay down, and see if i can fall asleep even though tomorrow is my day off, and I really don't need to be going sleep early...LOL...but yeah I need my rest so tomorrow I'm not super tired...=)  Well sweet dreams, and keep smiling...=)

Good Luck on your test...

Just wanted to tell my Sis Good Luck on her SQL final exam...=)  She been studying and trying to get school work done, and ready for finals for a couple of days already...Or should i say couple of months?...hehe...so I just wanted to tell her good luck on her test...=)  No worries Sis once you are finish w/this final exam you can breathe once again...=) HUGS

Something I wanted to share...

Why GOD Gave Us Friends..... GOD knew that everyone needs Companionship and cheer,He knew that people need someone Whose thoughts are always near.He knew they need someone kind To lend a helping hand.Someone to gladly take the time To care and understand.  GOD knew that we all need someone To share each happy day,To be a source of courage When troubles come our way. Someone to be true to us,Whether near or far apart. Someone whose love we'll always Hold and treasure in our hearts. That's Why GOD Gave Us Friends! -Unknown-
 

A FRIEND FROM ABOVE....I prayed for you before we met, Not knowing who you'd be. I asked the Lord to send a friend. One chosen just for me. I asked that they'd be Godly, With wisdom of His ways. A friend to help and guide me I the troubles of these days.  So often in life, we need someone To listen while we talk. Someone who will not condemn or judge, But encourage us as we walk.   The narrow road we choose to follow May sometimes make us stumble. But to have a friend to catch our fall, Teaches us to be humble. When I asked the Lord to send a friend, Though many came and went. He gave much more than I ever asked, For you are the friend He sent.  -unknown-

Friendship sayings...

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

 

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Hope you find the one that makes you smile. :)

 

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

 

 

 

 

 

Excersie...

Yeah I know to much on my mind once again...LOL...I need to get back into excersing...I feel so lazy when I don't excerise...Today I couldn't excerise due to working later...and tomorrow I'll be working late as well...till atleast 7pm...When Nemo asked me if I was going to go excersing in email today I wanted to go so bad, because I knew I needed the excerise...=(  I feel like i'm eating to much again, and gainning weight...I guess it might not be due to eating because I haven't been eating crazy...LOL...I think it's due to the female thing that they um have once a month...LOL...I know my dude friends are like Um thanks for sharing, but sorry...LOL...I think that is one reason why I feel super fat right now...LOL...Okie enough of that before people gross out...LOL...but Ill for sure be excersing sometime VERY soon...=)  and as for Nemo don't be lazy, and get your booty to excerise...LOL jk...hugs...

Footprints in the Sand...

 

 

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was one only. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord, “You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?”The Lord replied, “The years when you have seen only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you.”Mary Stevenson© 1984

 

Ok this is one poem I always loved...=)  Just thought I would share...LOL

Grumbling Mood...

I know I know right now i'm in a grumbling mood...LOL...No it's not because the lack of sleep...has nothing to do w/that...LOL...Everytime I go into work I always have to pick up people's mess...and it's not even my responsibility...I'm talking about the workers mess...LOL...I should have been a janitor instead...LOL...No matter how tired Shari can be I always get my job done, because I wouldn't want to leave people w/my leftover mess to deal with...I guess I always been like that no matter how people treat me, and leave me w/there mess...=(  I try to treat people the way I would like to be treated...not all the time, but I try...but other then that my day is going pretty good...Sis and Nemo always knows what to say to always brighten up my day...=) thanks you two...=)  What would I do w/out the both of you...=)  LOL...but it's back to work...I'll write more later when I come home from work, or if something interesting comes up whiled at work...LOL...Till then keep safe, and keep on smiling...=)

Little something about Shari...

Here is a autobiography of my life...Well as far as I can remember, which I'm sure I left alot of things out as well...Enjoy, and  no laughing...hehe... 
 
I was born on March 22, 1974 in a small town of Wahiawa.  My Dad and Mom were also born and raised in Wahiawa.  Mom and Dad also went to Leilehua High School as well as me and my Brother...=)  I have one brother who is 11 months older (Daryl).  We were very close growing up, and later as we got older we had our many fights.  hehe...  Till this day we get along very well once again, and we are very close as well.  
 

 

Growing up I was a real tomboy.  Esp. growing up around sports.  My Father coached baseball for years till he got sick, and could no longer do what he enjoyed doing.  I wanted to play baseball, but my Father didn't like that idea.  Yes I was Daddy's little girl. hehe...  As years went by I played soccer for little over 6 years.  Mom and Dad was kept very busy from going to one game to another, esp since at that time my brother was also playing soccer.  We kept my parents busy all year round.  LOL  It didn't end till my brother graduated from High School.  I grew up in a very loving and supportive house hold.  Also grew up the old Japanese style.  My father, father was also very old fashion Japanese man.  Everything was boy boy boy...I got use to it after awhile. 

me & brother Daryl...

As one of the pictures of me, Donna, and Wade.  Well Wade is a childhood buddy.  I rememeber everyday after school coming home, and asking Mom can I go out and play w/Wade till dinner was ready.  From making rubber band guns, climbling trees, making mud pies w/sand & dirt.  Rascal things like getting a cup and filling it up w/dish soap and blowing it until the bubbles looked like a snow cone. hehe.  playing football w/the neigherhood kids.  from owning my own hot pink skateboard from HIC, and my girly girl bike.  hehe.  My father never allowed me to get a boys bike.  I remember him telling me your not a boy your a girl. hehe.  I love those childhood days...

In my Elementary school days to HIgh School days.  went to Japanese School, and remember meeting my bestfriend Donna.  So before class we use to go to this candy store up the street.  I think thats all we enjoyed about Japanese School. LOL.  Joinned the Hawaii Matsuri Taiko group for a couple of years, and  quit sometime durning my High School time.  From being in the hiking club for 4 years w/Wade, and joinning the LHS basketball team my Sophomore year in HS.  I also remember being shy till I hungout w/Donna, Bari, Wade, Kory, and Jennifer.  those were the days.  also from my very first boyfriend, very first crush, and Senior Prom.  Till I graudated from High School...

Boyfriend Rod & me at my Sr. Prom

Rod is from Moanalua HS C/O 1992

 

After I graduated from High School Wade left for California to attend school.  So from three of us, now it was down to two of us (Donna & Shari).  Donna has been there for me since my very first boyfriend till this day.  Even though we lost out of touch for awhile, she still remained my bestfriend.  Till this day we are close like Sisters.  =) a sister I never had...=)  We spend alot of time together now from excersing, Karate classes on Mondays, and Saturdays, blading, and walking. 

 

Donna also introduced me to Hope Chapel Mililani where we attended, and now still attend since my Junior year in HS.  Got Baptized July 28, 1991.  =)  She also introduced me to my very first Christian boyfriend. LOL.  Joinning the worship team, helping Sunday school, and teaching my own 3rd & 4th Grade Sunday School group.  attending church 3 times a week, and mini church.  also helping Donna out w/the Jr. High bible study, and in the church office where Donna once worked.  Those were the days that I wish I could go back do again...

 

1998 (Walt Disneyworld Florida)

 

Later in the years after High School went to LCC for my first year of College.  Then moved to HCC for another year.  Wasn't getting anywhere.  From there I attended Travel University International where I graduated.  one year later I attended Massage Specialist where I went through the schooling, and did my intern.  I worked for that company little over 5 years.  Got tired of it after awhile couldn't handle all the perverted people. LOL.  So it was time to move on once again.  I can say I have found what I enjoy doing.  Working in the medical field is something I enjoy doing, and working in the long term care program.  I'll be going back to school, and hitting the books next month at KCC.  and maybe later in one year transfer over to the UH Campus.  but this is how my life has been, and was.  many more years to come, and to enjoy...=) to be cont....
