April 2-4, 2010

For the past couple of months I've been wanting to book a room at the hotel just to kick it with the first cuddies, but no one really got back to me and I just decided to book one anyways I told Lupi about it and she was all for it so I figured what the hey lets just do this. So Friday night I went to the stake center cause ONE VOICE was singing at a baptism for Lupi's ward. Oh how I miss these performances the spirit was definitely there and the company with the ONE VOICE family is ALWAYS MEMORABLE. After we had sang they had a eating and Lupi and them was pretty much in charge of prepping and whatnot so of course I had to wait for all the stuff to get loaded and clean, thank goodness that was a fast process. I was sooo ready to just check in and just knock the heck OUT, ok not really more like just check in and just be away LOL! As silly as it sounds but getting away for a minute just to the city was amazing and spending it with the lil sistah's and catching up was a definate PLUS, things I haven't known and glad to know I LOVE ma Fili sistah's. So we finally arrive at the HILTON and it was pretty busy with it being conference weekend and all, hence the reason we booked the room to be closer to the temple, and for conference. We got settled in and the minute Lupi hit the bed homegirl was totally OUT lmbo which was all good cause our plans was to just stay indoors and just have ME time pretty much, it was funny tho cause I got endless text messages asking where you at? and are you not coming to the dance? LOL yeah pretty shocking but to tell you the truth I'm not a fan of dances hahaha. So we ended up just watching movies in our room, funny thing is when we got in we was to lazy to to drive and Lu's like wait I have an idea, next thing I know she's calling the front desk asking if the shuttle can take us to the store LMBO who does that?? (Leave it to VAINI to think of that LOL)...Lu gets off the phone and was like dang it they only take you to the airport I couldn't stop laughing thanks for trying tho LU LMBO! So we end up knocking out we keep saying lets go swimming and just end up laying there. Well Lu eventually knocked out and Ana and I was just chillen watchin' tv we almost left Lu to go swimming but we didn't we had to stay together LOL. Anyways she eventually woke up and that was about midnight to one ish hahaha, and we decided to get up and drive somewhere to eat uhhh yeah driving around (yeah we full on drove in a circle) we finally found a wendy's and a chevron for drinks...ok scary moment we reached drive thru at wendy's when we turned to drive upto where you order these freaky guys come walking around the corner we're like oh shizz not good LOL, the 2 guys walked past and this asian guy stops dead on in front of my ride I'm thinkin' holy cow are we in trouble...then I hear his homeboiz yell his name and he like snaps outta it how bout this dude hecka knocked out standing up in front of my ride and I'm hella rolling up my windows you just never know right LOL that was the only scary experience we had LOL. Got to our room ate and started watching fugitive LMBO yeah huh way to scare ourselves more hahaha.

Saturday Morning got up at 7 am and sat up and was thinkin' we should go swimming before we listen to conference and ummm yes indeed we did go swimming early in the morning the plus side to it...having the pool to ourselves we was getting a little to camera happy with the self timer LOL you'll see that in the pics. After swimming we went back up to our room showered and got ready intime for the session to start oh how wonderful was this saturday for once in my life I stayed up and took notes the whole saturday....during the break before 2nd session we decided we needed to get our snacks and something to eat before we sat down to pay attention to the second session of conference. We hit up Fresh Market and Lupi treated to L&L need I say more we were totally set for the day. CONFERENCE was amazing I'm sooo grateful for our wonderful leaders for instilling the messages that I really NEEDED to hear. We wanted to go swimming again so about 10ish (P.M.) we decided to head down to the pool OH MY HEAVENS everyone and they momma's was in the pool so we just walked around Lupi ran the treadmill with her red boots GOOO VAINI right if you forget your running shoes run with what you got and that's vaini for yah;), hey it beat the poly guy that was running barefoot LOL to bad I didn't get a picture of him LOL. We then found out that they had a sauna oh yeah first time in the sauna I LOVED it time to attend one soon, meeting members from all over in the small sauna was PRICELESS, hearing how they were converted was awesome, we're planning another getaway I'm actually thinkin' of booking one for a girls night out with my siblings and my nieces it'll be fun. LOVE MY FAMILY ETERNALLY!!

BIGGEST LOSER AUDITION

MARCH 20, 2010



OK, OK, OK I know I'm like back tracking and writing backwards but I needed to add this into my blog so when I look back I can still remember the things I've done for 2010, and it's actually been things that I would never in my life dare to do. But with it being a new year it's time to step it up a notch right? so with that being said I had been the BIGGEST FAN of BIGGEST LOSER since Sione and Filipe Fa was on the show and maybe even before they appeared, but seeing some poly's on the show actually made me wanna be on it to or even push myself to workout and whatnot. So the more I watched the show the more I said to myself WOW that could be me you know. So back in January I had decided to inbox Sione about details as to how to get on and whatnot, he's like the coolest guy being as big as he is now and having the time to email me back was awesome. So he says try going to a live audition in your area to find that out go to the nbc site, if you find a audition in your area let me know and I'll try and get you a VIP pass to get in. I never did that until somebody had posted the date of BL being in SLC when I saw that I hit up Sione again saying hey I found and audition can you help me out? I didn't hear back from Sione for awhile so I was thinkin' oh he can't help me out so I mine as well give up right?? WRONG...I got an email the week of the auditions which was like March 18,2010 saying for me to email the producer and he'll send me the V.I.P pass through an attachment and will guarantee me to the front of a line, excited right?? NO more like saying ummm It's 2 days before the actual audition will DJ really email me back? that's where I was wrong again DJ (the producer her in SLC) did email me the VIP the next day did my heart race YES it sure did, was I NERVOUS? maybe just a little bit LOL, Dj said for Katie (a co-worker of mine) and I to come after one so we did and when we drove up to the KSL studio boy was the LINE freakin' LONG...our thoughts when we walked upto the front was Oh gosh we're gonna have some haters hatin' when we walk past them LOL, but hey we were blessed to have the opportunity to go to the front of the line. By this time my heart was hecka racing, we get to the front of the line with no problems I'd have to say the people are sooo friendly wish we actually got to stand in line longer cause talking to them was really cool and rushing the app we had to fill out was sooo not cool LOL anyways we get into the studio they took us in with groups of 20 and 10 at a table...talk bout not even fully being there my mindset LOL, I was still in shock that I was actually in the studio. Anyways they only gave us 7 mins and asked us 3 questions.

1. Name, age, Occupation
2. What food is your weakness?
3. What is the biggest reason you don't exercise?

And I answered
1. Caroline Misinale, 32, QC manager
2. SUGAR
3. I need the motivation and extra push

Well with that being said they had said we'll call back in 3-5 hours from now (so if you get a call from area code 310 make sure you answer) if you make this round but don't be discouraged if you don't get a call back, we suggest everyone go home and make a video and send it in. Katie and I felt really good about it and whatnot, got to thinkin' when it hit 10pm that I wasn't getting that call back:( yeah I was sad but at the same time happy I went out of my comfort zone to do something I would have never thought in my life of doing. When I had talked to katie the next day I said you know what when I talked to my mom she said I don't think you girls are heavy enough...I told mom hello they needa weigh me to see how much I weigh LOL, when I talked to katie I told her what mom said to me cause when I look back Katie and I were the smallest ones in our group of 10 people, yeah for once I felt skinny for that 7 mins LMBO overall I'm not going to give up on my weightloss challenge and I still want to make my video to send in cause you just never know right? if not then I'm still going to challenge myself to lose weight:)!! My overall experience for the BL audition PRICELESS!!

P.s. You never know I may be the NEXT BIGGEST LOSER;) (Dreams do come true LOL)

Monte too tall LOL

Hello my fellow BLOGGERS so it's been awhile since I've really sat down and jotted down my feeling on the happenings of my life, and trust me alot has happened and whatnot but I need to jump back on the banwagon and start up again. This past saturday (March 27, 2010) we ONE VOICE had a fundraiser (Hawaiian plate sale) to raise some money for our AZ trip and boy it's been awhile since we've traveled as a choir and what better time then to start right after general conference:). It's been awhile since I've been back with the group but let me tell you it's sooo good to be singing with them again for one it's helped me grow spiritually and 2 the people in the group and great company, and ALL the memories I've had with them are priceless down below are a couple of pic's from my phone I wish I took more but was the driver for the store runs LOL. Cheers to ONE VOICE for fundraising a great amount of mula and to the Maumau's for helping us make the yummy food!

I have to tell you a cool experience tho while ana and I was running around to stores grabbing last minute things. While we were standing in the produce area a palangi girl approached us saying: Sorry to be so Random but would any of you be interested in playing on the Utah Blitz Women's football team LOL, can you imagine my reaction to her comment LOL, while we were talking I hear UT BLITZ from a male's voice look over and the girl says meet Mike Ramos he's one of our coaches, I laughed and said hey I remember you from high school he graduated in '94 and he's like what you went to granger to I said yes sir graduated in '96...anyways she's been saying how they've been trying to recruit some poly's to the team but they haven't really had any luck and so she said that they will be at granger high football field practicing from 2-7pm. Well I decided to take the offer so after runnin' around and helping out with One Voice I decided to head on over to Granger to see what they had to offer. Believe me it was pretty trippy to see women geared up in the football gear running around and tackling heck yeah was what I was thinking full body contact I think I can hang, more like I'm so ready to lay some girl out flat LOL, then the minute I saw them conditioning I said to myself "OH MY HELL, I'M GONNA DIE" LOL but on the positive side it'd be good to get into shape, and to hit some girls at the same time bwahahaha ok don't wanna sound violent cause I'm not that kinda person but I've always wanted to play football when I was younger just didn't think my mom would approve LOL, anyways click here to read more about the Utah Blitz, so I talked to Coach Ramos about joining when I get back from the AZ he said I should be fine if I don't play this year I'll train with them and next year for sure I'll handle that field LOL, so here's to getting my A whooped and trying something different from volleyball LOL.

PATIENCE is WHAT I NEED

So it's been awhile since I've blogged and a lot has just been crossing my mind...Discouragements, Disappointments, and just a whole lot of Frustrations I tend to think A LOT about why things happen, or why aren't I being blessed with things that I see others with when I was cleaning my purse I found this little letter that one of my friends gave me awhile back. Boy was it an eye opener and a blessing to come across it, something I needed at this time of dating and getting to know the opposite sex. I read this as if it was sent to me personally from my father in heaven, and I'm truly grateful for my heavenly father for I have neglected him in many ways but NEVER YET has he turned me down. So from here on out I'm going to get to know my Savior and Father above and just put my trust in him and I'm sure ALL will fall into place. I'm sooo grateful for all that I have been blessed with and all that is yet to come, I'm even more grateful for the trials I've faced to make me a stronger person today, tomorrow, and for eternities. I hope this letter touches you as it touched me...I LOVE THIS GOSPEL, MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, & even my ENEMIES!!

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone;
to have a deep full relationship with another:
to be loved thoroughly and exclusively

But God says "No".
"Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone;
with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to me;
to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with me alone.
I love you, my child. Until you discover that only in me
is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the
perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.
You will never be united with another until you are united with me;
exclusive of anyone or anything else: exclusive of any other desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning and wishing. Allow me to bring that person to you.
You just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things.
Keep listening, learning the things I tell you.
You just wait; that's all"

"Don't be anxious, don't worry, don't look around at the things others have,
or what I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want.
You just keep looking up to me, so you won't miss what I want to show you.
When you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love more wonderful
than you would ever have dreamed of.
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready---
I am working even this minute to have you both ready at the same time---
until you are both satisfied,
exclusively with me and the life I have prepared for you,
you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies
your relationship with me.
This is perfect love."

"And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love,
I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with me,
and enjoy materially and concretely, the everlasting union of beauty,
perfection and love that I offer you with myself."

"Please know that I love you utterly. Believe it and be satisfied."

Happy Birthday 'Iongi DIVA's

So I tend to BLOG the next day when things happen only because at this moment I'm without a computer at home, that will hopefully change soon. So yesturday 1/5/2010 was the birthday of the 'Iongi DIVA's turning the BIG 6 years of age, boy has the time flew by where did the days go I still remember the day Silia went into the hospital to give birth I sat in her room while mom and Rubin went into the delivery room, this was the day I decided to call in just so I can see these precious little angels, and boy were they little. I was soo excited for my little sis to not only be blessed with one child but to be able to carry 3 and full term was a blessing that is as well, Silia is just a diehard period:). I got the opportunity to help out my little sis bring these little ones up, I can't say there little anymore cause they just turned six. I just find it a blessing to be a part of there lives and just want them to know how much I TRULY LOVE THEM.

After I had got off work I decided to head on over to Old Navy to get the girls some clothes, and me going into the store to shop for kids is a BAD mistake, cause sometimes I just go overboard, good on the kids bad on my wallet LOL. I actually ended up getting them each a pillow that way when they sleep on the pillow they can ALWAYS think of AUNTIE KALO, I know right sounds kinda corny but I thought kinda thought it was cute hahaha. Anyways before I hit up ZUMBA I went to wally world to grab the girls there own individual cakes and you can't have cake without ice cream, while I was there I also ordered Morena's birthday cake for saturday...Mom's planning on celebrating the girls day with a feast woohoo, gotta LOVE food LOL. So I got that ordered can't wait to see it on saturday. So after our kickbutt ZUMBA class the girls rode with me to there house to sing to them I figured we NEED to sing on the girls REAL birthday and then Saturday we can sing again LOL, so we head out there and the girls are holding there gift trying to guess what they got...Of course they guessed pillows but I told them NOPE your wrong I didn't want to spoil it for them. We get to there house and they're telling there mom that they wanted to open there gift but silia was like not yet we need to find the camera LOL. Anyways long story short the girls opened there gift and just to see the smile on there face was PRICELESS, thank you sis for letting me be a part of the girls life, and thanks Rubin for cookin' good food to cause I was starving LOL. Another goal of mines to to at least get a little something for the kids Birthdays. LOVE my Nieces & Nephews as well as my Brother's and Sister's I'd do anything for them.

The 'Iongi DIVA's
