Next was Saturday, where the bulk of my birthday weekend took place. It started off with the Turkey Trot 10k at MCBH, and we came in 1ST PLACE! Our total time for our 6-man formation was 00:44:2. We got free shirts, a medal and some other random things from the sponsors there. Following that we headed to Koa Pancake House, where I proceeded to stuff my face with about $20 worth of food, which my buddy Sam paid for without me knowing for my birthday. Pretty awesome day so far?
Right after that was probably the most exhilarating experience of my life: skydiving. I had never gone before and it was kind of a spur-of-the-moment thing. I went with my friend Jacqueline who, turns out, has the exact same birthday as me and she was also turning 21. I wasn't really nervous at all until they opened the door and made me jump first. It was such a rush. Falling over 120mph at 14,000 ft. I also paid the extra money to have a photographer jump with us, and the pictures came out awesome (see below).
After being safely back on solid ground, my roommate and I headed to his friends house in Mililani to watch the UFC fights. My two favorite fighters, Georges St. Pierre and Johny Hendricks were fighting each other, and it was a ridiculous fight. I didn't know who to cheer for. But you know we got pizza and wings and had good time for a few hours before heading out.
Once back home, we had to get ready to go out. I met a ton of my friends down in Waikiki. First we went to the strip club. (Couldn't go to the bars until midnight). That was a lot of fun, my friends paid for everything, haha. As soon as midnight rolled around, and Jacqueline and I were finally of-age, we went bar hopping. I really don't remember much, considering there were 15 people shoving alcohol in my face all night, but I know I had a blast. It wasn't until this morning I suffered the consequences.

Happy Belated Birthday!! Skydiving is awesome isn't it? I did it a couple of months ago and honestly, it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I went with my boyfriend and when we got there, I had the hugest butterflies in my stomach, but they made us wait forever until it was our turn so my butterflies died out. My boyfriend was the first one to jump off the plane and I was the last one. The free fall was the best feeling in the entire world, but once they opened up the parachute, I felt like I was going to throw up. I felt so nauseous and a wave of motion sickness hit me. When we got to the ground, I couldn't even stand up straight because I thought I was going to puke my guts out. It was an awesome experience, but I wouldn't do it again. I was such a wreck afterwards.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, it definitely sounds like you had a blast celebrating your 21st. Once again, happy belated birthday! :)
