Random Shots from Summer 2006

It's summer again! Time to party! But there's more to summer than that, of course. Summer is also a time for a few tearful goodbyes and stuff like that. By this time in my life, I really stopped being the "camera" person and in fact never carried a camera with me unless there was a very important event to attend. Thinking about all of the stuff people do during the summer, you can probably look at these photos and figure out what the few events are that I consider to be noteworthy enough to carry a camera to. Enjoy!

[640x480] [800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	The MC at Maruel's graduation party was Lance. A lot of entertainment came in to play when Lance took several verbal shots at Maruel, causing some minor warfare up on stage! I don't remember exactly what was happening here, but I think Lance was begging Maruel to show off some of his mad hula skills.	14
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Carin, Tsugi, and Rory spent much time after the actual ceremony was over fooling around with their digital cameras.	15

[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Same as the above photo, except by this time (probably about the fourth or fifth round), she's noticably getting annoyed and tries unsuccessfully to get him to knock it off.	2
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Sheldon was very quick to jab right back with a jab to Krystal's neck.	3
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Finally, after the two fought for close to four or five minutes, I finally got them to pose for the camera. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite what I had in mind.	4

[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	As they started dancing, Maruel decided to jump in!	38
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Same as above.	37
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Maruel looks at Krazy Karaoke's song listing while Carin rests on his side. Meanwhile, Nicole is using Carin as a bed.	36

Aloha Oe
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	The remainder of the photos from this section are from when Maruel left Oahu to go to school in Kansas. In this first shot, Maruel is posing with Carin inside Honolulu International Airport.	33
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Same as above, except for some reason Rory decided to jump in.	32
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Maruel and Nina share a moment together while Faye looks on.	31
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Not long after the above photo was taken, Nicole arrived after getting off of work at Starbucks. Upon seeing Maruel, she came running fast! Ren, Karen, and Faye look on.	30
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Someone had the idea of buying a giant goodbye card for Maruel, I can't remember who. Anyway, while Maruel waited in line to check-in for his flight, the rest of us were hurrying outside to get the card all signed. Here, Krystal is using Faye's back as a table to sign the card as Rory looks on.	29
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	As you know, checking in at airports now takes forever due to increased security from 9/11. As such, after we had all signed the card, Maruel was still in line checking in. So, Kristine and Krystal (whose hand appears here) got really bord, as can be seen in this photo.	28
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Kristine tries to teach Krystal how to heely as they wait for Maruel to finish checking in.	27
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	After Maruel finally finished checking in, we had only a short time to say our goodbyes before he got in line for security to get into his flight gate. In this short time, we took a group photo. In this photo, from left to right are: Rory (holding the card), Karen, Ren, Maruel, Nicole, Kristine, Krystal, Faye, Nina, and Carin. While typing this up, for a few seconds, I was wondering where the heck I was, but then I remembered I was the one taking the picture!	26
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Two of Maruel's closest friends, Janell and Grace, with Maruel shortly before he left.	25
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Janell, Maruel, and Grace share a moment shortly before he left for his gate.	24
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Maruel and Faye spend a few last dry-eyed moment together, while Krystal, Nicole, and one of Nicole and Kristine's coworkers (name?) goof off in the background.	23
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Maruel: "I'm so happy to finally leave Hawaii and leave all of you stupid guys behind! Ha ha! Time to do my happy dance!" Carin: "Ha, ha, Maruel! You're such a kidder!" Maruel: "Who's kidding?" (Disclaimer: In this case, I am.)	22
[800x600] [1024x768] [1280x1024] [1600x1200]	Maruel and Faye spend one last (sort of) happy moment together before Maruel left for good.	21
