Aloha-Graduation-Inhabitation

May 1st Annie and I moved into an old house on 0th st. Adam will move in at the end of the month.


The final few weeks of school were very fun, excited and very busy. I spent much of the time in the edit lab working on Momotaro animation and dealing with faulty electronics.

Momotaro, a 6 minute animation of an old Japanese folklore was one of my final projects in school tying my Asian studies minor together with my Film studies Major.

Graduation weekend was exciting. My Mother, brother, grandpa and grandma drove down to Wilmington and stayed in our house. The weekend included a movie on the battleship deck, Graduation ceremony, beach, excellent food, party at Jengos and fun time with family and Annie East.



Aloha. I went to Maui for two weeks after graduation to visit my dad, and see some old friends. After a full day of flying i was greeted by a tanned, energetic father who immediately took me to get cleansed in the ocean.


We traveled to the less populated side of the Island, where we took a tour of a bamboo farm, and visited a friend living on the old Charles Lindbergh estate. She runs a cafe called "Cafe Attitude" out of the old Lindbergh writers cabin. Dad and I installed a stone take-out window from the kitchen area to the eating area and enjoyed the cafe that night with a big campfire and enough characters to fill 200 books.




My sister came a few days later on her highschool senior project "Rejuvination" trip. In the mornings I worked with Aaron building a roof over a patio area and my sis did yoga and facial masks. We went on some amazing hikes, swam at awesome beaches and played smash ball and double pong. Hot tub and sauna at the Petties was nice as well.



I went scuba diving for the first time. It was bind blowing experience to breathe underwater. Lots of things to think about while trying to remain calm underwater and breath slowly. by the end of our dive, i felt very comfortable and would like to go again. We did more snorkeling, surfing and danced at Sweat Your Prayers.



It was definitely a nice relaxing trip spent with fun people.


Back in wilmington, Adam Schiffer moved into the house and we have been enjoying riding bikes around and exploring the city. Friday we are hosting an Emerald Open House Party at our home. dress is Green.
