Rebirth of Summer...

So I entered another Hipstamatic contest a few days ago... and today is the LAST DAY to vote for my print 'Poolside Loungin'...'. To celebrate the opening of The Gallery and Dijitalfix’s 2nd store in New York, they will be exhibiting the top 100 Hipstamatic prints as determined by the community. The top print from these 100 will be chosen by 3 judges, and the winner will receive the Best of Show Prize, furnished by Dijitalfix, as well as a limited edition printed book of the show pieces. Thanks to the votes I've received already, my print is within the top 100... but I still need your help! Please, if you haven't voted for my print yet... please do so by clicking on this link now:

Poolside Loungin'...

Thank you so much, everyone!

Baby steps...

It's finally Friday, people! Get me the f*ck out of here!

Have a great weekend!

Aloha from Paradise...

Today is the last day to vote for my Hipstamatic print 'Aloha from Paradise...' in The Big Hipstamatic Show's Life - "Sunshine and Moonbeams" contest. I took this photo at the Kaneohe Bay Sandbar last weekend. I don't normally enter these type of contests, but I have fun using the Hipstamatic iPhone camera application and decided to do something fun and out of the ordinary by giving it a shot (no pun intended). My goal was to make it in the top 100, and thanks to all my family and friends who voted, my print went from #2,434 to #45! Yay! Thanks everyone who voted!

If you haven't voted yet, you can vote by clicking here! Today is the last day to vote.

Have a great weekend, everyone. T.G.I.F.

Beautiful Building Facades...

Being that I always admire the architectural design of the IBM building when I'm in the Ward area, I decided to take a quick snapshot of it with my phone yesterday...

First Year Wedding Anniversary

This past weekend was truly an amazing one! Dean surprised me for our first year wedding anniversary... he booked us a junior suite at the JW Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa at Ko'olina! The Ihilani Resort and Spa has become a special place for us these past several years because it's where Dean proposed to me in 2007 and where we stayed on our wedding night last year. He planned out everything perfectly to a tee by making massage reservations at the Ihilani Spa at 1 p.m., giving us just enough time to relax before checking into our suite at 3 p.m. Once checked in, we had drinks on the beach before going to our 6:30 p.m. dinner reservations at Roy's. I love how he took the time to plan everything... most guys just don't do that sort of thing. The next morning we ordered room service for breakfast and enjoyed it on our huge balcony overlooking the ocean. We relaxed the rest of the day there before checking out and going to dinner at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse in Waikiki, which was insanely delicious, by the way! Finally, we ended the day by lighting our unity candles in the dining room and had a bite from the top layer of our wedding cake, which had been saved and frozen for tradition. Everything about this weekend was perfectly romantic! Although I had several of my cameras with me, I ended up taking most of the pictures on my phone...
