Haleiwa Fun (and more)

 I apologize in advance if this post is not cohesive, but I have many photos and lots of things to say.  Yesterday Tim and I drove to Haleiwa to get our fix of Kono's and Matsumoto's Shave Ice.  It was also his last day off before I start working full-time and who knows when we'll have another full day off together so I guess you could call it an adventure day.  Lunch was great, as usual, and Matsumoto's was delicious.  I don't think I've had shave ice in over six months.  I learned in an English in Hawaii class two semesters back that shave ice is called different things in different places.  On most places in the mainland (Continental US) it's called "snow cone," on Oahu it's called "shave ice," and on the Big Island it's called "ice shave."  We had strawberry, lime, and vanilla covered in condensed milk (always!).

Ok, switching to something different, I received an exciting email yesterday about my internship, but I won't mention anything until the date gets closer.  I still haven't received a call or email from my Macy's store regarding the first day so I will probably have to contact my recruiter tomorrow.  Hope everything runs smoothly.  This is just the outfit I wore today:

 

Didn't do much today except buy some fruits for breakfast and snack time, but, oh yeah, the Boston Celtics have won game 5 of the series!  I am so stoked and I don 't want to sound too confident, but game 6 is in Boston so you figure out the rest...

Happy Tuesday! 

*Update, in the process of writing this I got the call I was waiting for from Macy's:)

Intro

Happy Monday!  I started this blog for my Apparel Product Design and Merchandising program.  I will be graduating from the University of Hawaii at Manoa in Fall 2012 (finally!) and would like to start this project in hopes of using it for my exit presentation and portfolio.  We shall see how that goes.

Erratic.static.unpredictable is a mnemonic device I used in high school while trying to remember the definition for the word "erratic" for a vocab test.  It actually went "erratic. static. undependable."  But I am not undependable.  In fact, I am extremely dependable and unpredictable (in a good way!), thus the title.

This blog will consist of all things Rod (short for Rodelynn, pronounce row-del-lynn) from food, to fashion, to random photography, and everything in between.  A little about myself; I was born and raised in Honolulu, HI.  I am open to just about everything, except seafood, which I am trying to get into.  The following are photos I took on 4/21/12 of a lunch trip to Haleiwa and dinner in town. Enjoy!

My absolute favorite place to eat in Haleiwa. I usually order the turkey avocado melt, but decided for a change.

Kalua pig plate lunch: kalua pig, two scoops rice, special sauce, salad w/ papaya seed dressing

Izakaya Gazen: Toasted french bread w/ cream cheese

Peppered pork with white garlic sauce
