Introduction - Get to know me!

HELLO!

I'm glad you managed to (stumble?) across my brand new blog.

Here's a little bit about me:

I used to "blog" on blogspot.com when I was in middle school. My last post on that blog was on May 22nd, 2010, and I wrote about how excited I was to graduate from middle school and move onto high school. Reading some of those posts are really embarrassing and brought back a lot of memories, good and "eh." That blog is now private, its only purpose being to entertain me, haha. Here's a peek of what's on it though: 

• I was born and raised in Hawaii, constantly in town and in Aiea. I don't travel to the more rural areas often, but when I do, it certainly is a treat! 

Marissa and I "giving back to the aina" somewhere at Makapu'u.

One of my favorite pictures of myself along the beach at the Turtle Bay Resort.

• I am currently a freshman in college studying in social work (don't look at me like that... it's not always about the money, guys!), but I will always carry that McKinley Tiger Pride with me wherever I go! 

Here's a picture of me on the Roosevelt High School football field right before the third quarter of the game. It was McKinley vs. Moanalua, 28-21. Whoo! P.S., I was also part of the yearbook staff during my senior year, a very fun experience.

A group picture of me and (what used to be) the best lunch table: Donny, Kelly, myself, Lily, Katherine, Melissa, Jennifer, and Jia Yu.

A picture of me after our second commencement ceremony (lol) in front of the McKinley statue.

And a cute group pic: Donny, Kelly, Victor, myself, Jenny, and Jennifer.

• I currently work part-time as an impact (stock) at abercrombie kids at my local mall. The company isn't amazing, but the company is. (Hahaha, did you see what I did there?) Here are some pictures of the people who make work so fun for me!

After-work group selfie with Ezana, Jordan, Mel Bryan, Megan, Sopi, Jaeden, Alyssa, and myself.

Two of my favorite managers ever: Mel Bryan and Jordan.

Spent Valentine's Day together... like true baes are supposed to. Pictured: Ezana, Sopi, Alyssa (best SM), Camille, Clark, and myself.

Alyssa's last day was a happy, but very sad, day. Group selfie with Bronson, Kristine, Megan, Momoka, Roxanne, Jordan, Camille, Alyssa, Alayna, and myself.

• Like most people do, I love spending time with my friends when I'm not studying (more like pretending to study...) or working. I always seem to forget exactly how many wonderful friends I have so picking out pictures for this section takes a little more time. 

Just finished lunch -- Jennifer, Victor, Kelly, and myself.

A quick pic under the "pier" (?) with the most amazing girls you'll ever meet: Marissa, Naomi, myself, and Erica.

A festive selfie with Anne. I really wanted those reindeer antlers. 

A goofy picture of Arslan, Jenny, Jason, myself, and Jantzen at our senior prom. (Just realized all our names start with a J except for Arslan! Dang it, Arslan...)

My favorite group picture from my senior prom -- Momoka, myself, Kaily, and Hayley.

A picture of Verlyn, Kelli, (supa cool performer) Aoyama Ikuhiko, Janie, and myself.

I don't have many pictures with John Rhyan, my bfffff, so might as well pick one where I look totemo kawaii, right?

... And many more! But I am much too lazy to search through my tumblr (bitsofjenny.tumblr.com -- follow me? I try to post daily and I have a constant queue of reblogs)

• In addition to my work, school, and friends: the most important thing to me is family! I don't have many pictures to share of me and my human family, but my furry babies mean the world to me. 

I have two babies at the moment: their names are Kiko (1 year, 5 months) and Kuma (just over two months).

In addition to these lovely fur babies, I've also had two previous babies who've moved on to a better place: Fuzzy (9 years) and Tiger (13-14 years) -- RIP ♥ 

I don't have too many pictures of Fuzzy, as we got him when I was born in 1996 and I, personally, could not/was not allowed operate a camera, but I definitely will update this post when I get a hold of pictures of my very first first baby.

Rest in peace, my lovelies. I hope you're doing amazing up there. I love and miss you.

• And finally (?), just wanted to bring up my significant other and very, very best friend: Clark. I refer to him as Banunu and some other cheesy names. We've been "together" since October of 2013 (just over a year and a half as of right now). He is currently a pre-nursing major and is probably the most frustrating guy (in a fun way, if that's possible?) I know. They say opposites attract, but similarities are what keeps the relationship going! We're quite different from each other -- that's what makes the relationship exciting, I feel like, but it's our similarities that really makes us work.

... Now, as to why I created this blog...

• I wanted a blog that was truly my own. While I love and adore using my tumblr, I don't see it as a blog as much as another form of social media. While people use Pinterest and Reddit, I use tumblr. Make sense?
• I love to read reviews and I also love writing them. I hope my reviews help, or at least kind of entertain/inform, others!

Those are the two main reasons for the purpose of this blog and this concludes  this "quick" about-me post. I hope to make a blog post at least once a week, if not more! I plan on really *starting* on this blog later this week, after I get through with some schoolwork. I will be posting about food, beauty, lifestyle, etc., and "reviewing" them, sharing my thoughts, comments, and concerns.
