Random Fact: Fluent in Hawaiian

 If you had one superpower what would it be and why? Teleportation because it would get me from point A to point B way faster. And it would be less walking; I hate walking.

Before you play a volleyball game what kind of music do you listen to? Before I play I like to listen to Old Hawaiian music. It slows down your brain waves and calms you down so you don’t have to concentrate so much on thinking. What I mean is that it allows me to go in the game loose and ready without being anxious.

 Tell me your funniest joke or cheesiest pick up line. Are you from Samoa? Because you APIA in my dreams.

 What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?  I left my house at 3:30 in the morning to go body boarding, then spent 5 hours down in this place called Waipi’o Valley. I then traveled to Kona to do some more body boarding. I slept over my friend’s house and then the next morning we went to a man-made slide. It’s illegal to go there technically but we hopped over all 3 gates anyway and hiked to the slide built in the mountain.

 How do you get a girl’s attention when you’re interested? I go up to her and start up a conversation. That’s it. I’m not trying to beat around the bush or anything. I’ll just go for it.

 If you had one wish what would it be? To be full Hawaiian, 6’10″, and massively buff.

 What’s your biggest turn off? Tattooed covered girls. One or two is enough for me.

 What’s your idea of perfect date? Something that doesn’t have an awkward silence.  It doesn’t matter where we go or what we do as long as we’re together.
