"Shoots" not "Chutes"!

It's Shoots not Chutes as in the board game chutes and ladders! Shoots is the term used in Hawaii for "Ok" or "gotcha". IE: Shoots i'll see ya there!

Anyways thats my little hawaii-lingo of the day and as you can see I have made it back to my home town this Christmas break. Went out and had a wonderful homecoming welcoming as usual. The guys took me out for some drinks, and pupus (appetizers). Big ups to the guys who came out last night.

Now the good stuff... Just for my blog fans I'll hit you up with something that happened on my flight home. So the flight from NY was delayed due to the snow and the plane having to be de-iced. Nonetheless, I was sitting next to this girl who I didn't get much of a glimpse because apparently sleep was more important than anything in the world at the moment. So throughout our 8 hour venture in the plane, I got a few glimpses of her face and by the way she dressed I was under the impression that this girl was actually a MILF. But, boy was I wrong. As the plane was landing, she started talking to the woman to the left of her about that ladies connecting flight and how they both would be late. She then mentions that she's going to Maui and hopes she gets on because her little dog (who was in a little carry-on under the seat in front of her) only had permits to travel for today only. Now through the mentioning of "Maui" that caused my ears to perk up a bit and do a little eves dropping. As the conversation got deeper, I noticed that this so called MILF actually talked like she was much younger then I sought her out to be, hell she even sounded younger then me, especially since she kept mentioning her parents and what she wants to do in life.

So I couldn't take it anymore and turned my head and got a full look to see what she looks like. Results? Not bad, and definately not a MILF but an attractive young lady probably younger then me thats just dressed in older ladies clothes and jewelery. Me being the shy person let them carry on their conversation, but I did get a chance to slip in my appearance. I asked her if she's flying to Maui, and told her that I'm flying to Oahu. With those few words we opened up a short conversation while the plane just touched down to the landing strip. Turns out that she's Japanese and living in NY just like me! She's a admirer of languages (as am I) and the similarities actually had the conversation go so smoothly. After about a minute of conversation, the fasten seat belt signs flashed off indicating time for us to deplane. I let her know about my flight leaving within an hour and that if possible she should try to catch the same flight as me and then find a connecting flight in Oahu instead of straight from LAX. She seemed to like the idea and said she'll give it a shot if she can't find something better. We both left the plane, while I wished her good luck, and she said her byes with "hopefully we'll be on the same connecting flight next." Anticipating her company on the next flight I decided to get some pizza for lunch. As I was in line I saw her running to another gate, which indicated that she found a better connecting flight. And.. that was the end of that!

So with this story, it makes me wonder.... Do you ever get the feeling that some people are put in your life for you to meet, and its up to you to make the best of that opportunity. Sure, I should have got her number, sure I shouldn't prioritize sleep over everything! , but OH well no sense kicking myself any longer..... im in Hawaii now, its' time to party!!
