IN OAHU.
I just wish that I did this blog post when I still have my phone, because I was just a photo hoarder and I’m beginning to hate myself just this moment. Yes, all of my Hawaii photos are stored in my phone because I didn’t bring my baby in paradise.
When someone asks me where I wanna go, Hawaii will always be on my second list, first in Europe for honesty’s sake. Hawaii isn’t a paradise, it’s a h[e]aven on earth.
Because first things first, you probably already knew that the sole reason I went to Hawaii was to attend the 8th NAKEM International Conferences at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

It was so heartwarming and overwhelming to have been the only undergraduate delegate from the Philippines, a privilege, and yes, it’s something to be proud of, they say.
Maybe it’s a tradition, but I got two more welcome parties from my ever-loving and ever-supportive relatives there, both from mother and father sides.
First was the first night I arrived, it was in my Auntie Azon’s house in Waipahu. (Yes, special thanks to Manang Joy, Manong Jeff, Manang Alona, Manong Rex, Manong Allan, Manang Raquel, Uncle Rudy, Aunty Azon and my nieces and nephews for the preps).
Second was at my Mommy Nita’s house in Honolulu, which was celebrated for Jarica’s birthday, too.
So much thanks to Mommy Nita, Daddy Romy, Mommy Remy, Uncle/Daddy Rico, Daddy Samuel, Mommy Thelma, Mommy Lory, Mommy Delia, Grandma and Grandpa, yes, and to all my distant relatives who came) *Hugs and kisses because I miss you all.
And a dinner treat by Aunty Muray at their house in Waipahu, again.
Thank you to the Agonoy Family. (No photos available)
So here. The only photos left with me.

| Oahu at night. They call this extra awesome place Tatalus, I suppose. |
 |
| Waikiki |
Best places to visit in Oahu:
Waikiki (preferably at night). It is where you can find surfers and shops in the street just across the shore line.
Waikele Premium Outlets. Yes, shopping, if you know what I mean.
Ala Moana
Del Monte Farm (?)
And.. Yes, just ask your relatives for around the island trip because unfortunately, I was not able to do so.
Well, you can found Pearl Harbor there, babe.
All photos were taken using my stolen Samsung Galaxy SII plus. No editing done xx
