Hawaiian Paradise

   My Mom and brother come back from going to a residency interview in L.A. and they bring home a little surprise. If you know Hawaiian Rolls that you can buy at the store then you might be surprised to learn that there is one restaurant attributed to this company. My Mom and brother went to the Hawaiian King restaurant and to their great bakery. At this bakery they bought an awesome cake that they brought home, the Hawaiian Paradise. 

  Guava, passion fruit and lime are the three fruits flavors that make up this cake. This one shop made about ten thousand of them for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Moist, natural, fresh fruity flavors in this cake make it no surprise that it sells. It is one of the best desserts I've ever had and I'm so ready to eat another piece. I think most people would agree in saying that they love food so if you're ever in L.A. definitely try this decadent dessert it's worth it, and grab a bite to eat as well because it is supposed to be a great authentic Hawaiian restaraunt in Los Angeles and my Mom and brother loved it.

It's New Year

2015 is here and I'm hoping it's gonna be a good year! Everybody's probably been thinking about their New Years resolutions but I'm not really one to state, this is the thing I'm going to do this year, because most of these never happen. According to statisticbrain.com only about eight percent of Americans are successful in their resolutions. I'd rather just know that I want to be happy, so why not improve all around. I know that there's something I could change in every area of my life, little things like working out more or big things like working for my permit, getting a job or maybe learning how to cook, who knows.

This year of basketball has been a little tougher but i know how much growth and work I could put in to turn the tide and that's what I plan to do. School which has always been my basic achievements and been my measure of accomplishment is the hardest it has ever been, but I am not done working, not by a long shot, I'll keep working ever hour I need to because I can't let my self down. I want to sleep. Sleep always alludes me but that's definitely something I intend to change. Stress is the final thing tying into these subjects, I can't afford to worry and get flustered because that will only get in the way of improving my self so that I can rest easy and survive the struggles next year is bound to bring.

 
New year, new me? No, I am always going to be Derek but it's just a matter of evolution and change. I gotta keep getting better because otherwise I'll just be stuck, stuck in the normality of life and stuck in the torment of my struggles. I'm going to fix what's lagged behind so far and pick it up because I only ever want to be moving forward because feeling stuck or falling down is just sad and hard.
