That's right, readers. It was a bust! Saturday night, everything got shut down because of a tsunami watch for the Hawaiian Islands. Canada's earthquake generated a scare here in the islands and people were freaking out.
B and I had been out and about all day with M, so around 8pm, when I tried to fill gas, the lines were just ridiculous! Sirens were going off, and so was my phone. Text messages, phone calls and tango calls to warn us (if we didn't already know) that there was a tsunami watch for the islands and to get to high ground.
Before the gas station/super market frenzy started, we were having a great day. B and I met M at Ruby's for lunch and a small shopping venture at the mall. Then, M surprised me with babysitters while we caught an early showing of Silent Hill: Revelations. That was a nice surprise since I was dying to see it in the first weekend it was out. It was just as creepy as the first one and I loved it!
After the movie, we grabbed some McD's before picking up B from his parents place. It was when we got to their house that the sirens started sounding. I remember them being louder ... but, B was still freaked out by them. If you've never seen Silent Hill, you won't get this, but I thought it was so ironic that right after we caught that creepy-ass movie, emergency sirens all over the island start going off! Crazy! It really felt like the darkness was coming.
Other than that, the weekend was pretty relaxing. Sunday, we went back to church after missing the last few months. It was nice ...
Today has been non-stop since I came in. Plus, we had our boss' day lunch which was nice, too. Yummy Hawaiian food! Now, it's just about the end of my day and I am sucking down hot green tea with honey. I feel a bug coming on. But, I won't let it get me ... must flush it out!!
One more thing ... to all those affected by hurricane Sandy, you are in my prayers.
Good night, readers.
