kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 20:11:00 +0000

Two of my most fave things shall be joined tonight in Los Angeles. No, not Gold Lamae and Salmon Sushi, but BASEBALL AND FILIPINO FOOD! Tonight is Filipino Heritage night at Dodger Stadium and my heart and belly hate me for not being able to go. They're serving Chicken Adobo at the stadium!! I mean...what?

Thank you Dodgers for this amazing event. I wish I could bring my BFF Cali Mansi to hang out with you all tonight, but we gots plans that unfortunately have nothing to do with Adobo and/or baseball.

For those of you who are going...have some Lumpia for me!!!

Love love,
Kimee
ps: If you're thinking, "Wait, I thought Kimee was an Angels fan." You are correct, but I got nothing but love for most Baseball Teams and players. Except for the Rays (sorry Tampa) and A.J. Perzinski (sorry Douchies)

Random Dreams: Volume 1

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 17:56:00 +0000

I had a dream last night that someone was trying to kidnap my Apo (Grandfather.) When the kidnapper found out he was 91, he said, "Oh, sorry. I can't take him. He's too old for the deal. I need someone under 80. Wow. He looks really good for his age." He then gently took Apo out of the car, placed him in his wheelchair and asked us to take good care of him.

Nicest kidnapper I've ever met in a dream.

*I realize this is not a picture of my Grandfather, but I imagine this is the face my niece Hailee would make if I told her this story.

Happy Mother's Day to Mom's who aren't trashy...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Sun, 10 May 2009 09:25:00 +0000

Yay Moms! You're awesome. You raised a person. Some one, some two and some even eight (trust me I'm sad about this too.) You work hard. You're always on it and I respect you...unless you litter.

I really can't stand litter bugs. Nothing is more irritating to me. Well, guys who overly shape their eyebrows and people who stand in front of the Starbucks counter and ask "what's good here?" come in close second...but whatevs. Litter bugs are lame-o and that's the end of it.

I saw someone litter the other day. Straight up just littered. I was walking past their parked car and they dumped their fast food paper trash right there on the sidewalk. My heart started racing I was so upset. I really wanted to tell them to pick up their trash and make them take a time out or something, but they were much bigger than me. I would've said something if I wasn't a five foot nothing girl with a voice similar to that of a Chipette...but it is what it is.

Litter bugs are bad folks. Bad, lazy, selfish and rude folks. And Moms who are litter bugs are the worst because they are teaching their kids to be BLSRFs too. I know you're busy, but please don't dump your baby's dirty diaper in the parking lot. Surely you can wait till you get into Rite Aid.

My Mom doesn't litter. She is very clean and even picks up my mess when I'm home to visit. That's what Moms are for. I wish we could spend the day together. We'd probs go shopping, grab a bite, come home, chill out and watch "Keepin' up with the Kardashians." I love my Moms.

So, to all the other clean, hard working, nice and sweet Moms out there....Happy Mother's Day!!! Thanks for not being trashy. You're amazing and I hope you have a happy, happy day!!!
(ps: don't forget to recycle your wrapping paper.)

May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Fri, 01 May 2009 19:50:00 +0000

May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii.

Random May Day story:

In elementary school, we would put on a May Day Show and each grade would do a little song and dance and present it to family, friends and the May Day Court. The 6th graders were part of the May Day Court. When I was in 6th grade I was princess of Ni'ihau. They assigned you an island according to your height....Ni'ihau is the second smallest next to Kaho'olawe. Yes, there was someone shorter than me back then (Hi Tiffany!)

Happy May Day. Make a paper lei and enjoy this jam from one of my fave Hawaiian Bands...Ten Feet:)

Where everybody knows your name...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 07:22:00 +0000

A friend of mine sent this to me today:

http://dallasmorningviewsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/04/betty-brown-to.html

I think this Betty Brown lady is on to something. My name is long. I'm tired of people trying to say it and I'm tired of spelling it out for them..."That's B as in boy, A as in Apple, L as in Lamiaceous...." It gets old.

Anyway, I'm thinking of changing my last name to Brown. Not only to honor this wonderful woman in Texas, but I think it'll be a little easier to recognize me.

"Oh I know Kimee Brown...she's uh, brown right? Like tan?"

See! Easy. I think it's a good idea.

Sounds much better than Kimee Olive Toned.

You had me at Hello...

I've been really crazy busy this week. I'm up before 7am and in bed after 2am. I don't even know what day it is...but when my iPhone woke me up to tell me about a new email, I was soon reminded:

$8 Million Deal Falls Through As Macy's Is Given The Runaround

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It isn't often that an $8 million deal falls through due to
simple communications problems. But that was certainly the case last month when
Macy's wanted to offer that amount for a small jewelry company, but never got a
hold of its owner.

Stephanie Lee, a spokeswoman for Macy's, explains how it all happened:

"We've been wanting to expand into the Hawaiian scene for many years
now. Trends show that there is increasing demand for everything
Hawaiian, and this year will be no exception."

So in March, Macy's set out to find the perfect brand - one that screams "Aloha"
- and put its merchandise on its shelves. "We wanted something brand new,
something we haven't done before," says Lee.

Surprisingly, they found what they were looking for on the internet - a small
web shop called "Kimeejay." "It was a cute line of earrings run by Hawaii native
Kimberly J. Balmilero - a perfect combination of youth and Hawaiian culture
rolled into one."

Macy's wanted to buy rights to the brand, work with Balmilero to mass
produce the line, and sell it at all of Macy's U.S. locations. High
level executives were so impressed that they were willing to pay top
dollar for it.

However, Kimeejay's luck would soon run out. "We tried contacting the
folks at Kimeejay, but their webserver was malfunctioning and returning errors,"
explains Lee. So, Macy's spent the next week trying to track down Balmilero.

Various sources led to Balmilero's MySpace account, but many had
speculated that the account wasn't run by Balmilero, as messages sent
there are never responded to. So, Macy's skipped right over the social
networking sites and went straight to Balmilero's agent in New York.

Macy's contacted the Luedtke Agency and was informed that although
Balmilero resides in Los Angeles, she frequently travels to Honolulu,
New York, the Philippines, and Sydney, Australia, where she works as a
children's performer. All in all, Balmilero's location is almost always a
mystery.

A few contacts residing in Hawaii were provided, but most were unable to track
down Balmilero, and the rest didn't speak English.

Next stop was Australian television station Channel Nine, but no one
returned any of Macy's phone calls.

After weeks of attempting contact, to no avail, Macy's just gave up.
Instead, they extended the offer to Mahalo Designs of Honolulu, a
company that sells similar merchandise. The deal was closed in mid-March 2009
for roughly $8 million - the same amount they originally wanted to offer
Balmilero. "We just couldn't wait that long," says Lee, "we needed to close a
deal as soon as possible or risk losing valuable market share."

J. Jupland, one of Mahalo's attorneys, was asked about the deal, but
said he knows nothing about it, and that the whole story might just be
an April Fool's joke. He then went on to say "We wish everyone a happy
April Fool's Day and ask that you don't respond to this post until after April
2nd, and after Kimee gets a chance to read it."

Balmilero was unavailable for comment.

I don't know who did this....but you're my hero.

Thank you.

Love love,
Kimee

ps:If this ever really happens...you owe me 8million bucks. 'Cause you obviously know how to get a hold of me;)

For realsies?

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Sat, 28 Mar 2009 08:39:00 +0000

A friend told me about this video. I don't know if this is real or not. Either way, I heart it with all my love.

Hug a Hawaiian Day '09...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 02:30:00 +0000

Today is "Hug a Hawaiian Day"...

I know this is a little late, but I had forgotten till someone hugged me.

I know I'm not technically Hawaiian, but I was born and raised there and Hawaii is a state, so I guess you could say that I was if you were confused on how it all worked. Maybe like a Californian or a Bostonian or a Mississippipipi.

Anyway, same rules apply as "Hug a Filipino Day". Again, I wish I could hug my friend Mahi, or my niece Kea or maybe even Karen Keawehawaii.

But if I don't know you, and you look creepballs and you're not giving me an "Aloha Spirit" kinda vibe...don't be surprised when I kick you in your nuts.

Although, I might accept hugs from a stranger if they give me Spam Musubi first.

HAPPY HUG A HAWAIIAN DAY!

I like this guy...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 03:51:00 +0000

I may be a Lakers fan:

But that doesn't mean I can't be a fan of this Celtics fan:

Hope you're having a crazy Friday the 13th!!

Hug a Filipino Day '09...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 08:32:00 +0000

Today, February 3rd is "Hug a Filipino Day"...

I'm not gonna lie, I enjoy hugs. They are nice. They make me feel good. They make me make you feel good.

I wish I could hug my Mom today, or my Dad or Grams, Apo or maybe even Lea Salonga...

but if you come up to me today and try to hug me and I don't know you and you look creepy....don't be surprised if I punch you in the nuts.

Don't say I didn't warn you.

HAPPY HUG A FILIPINO DAY!!

New favorite channel...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 22:27:00 +0000

As I was channel surfing today, I ran into MTV Tr3s and was sucked in. Here's why:

-They took me through Perez Hilton's house.

-They actually convinced me to like Carlos Mencia for about 5 minutes.

Dear Tyra, I am writing...to ask for just two things...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 11:31:00 +0000

Dear Tyra Banks,

So it's the day after Christmas and although I've received a lot of fantastical gifts this year, I unfortunately didn't get the one thing I BEGGED Santa for. Now, I'm not sure if you celebrate the holiday or not, but I have something to ask of you.

Here's the thing, I tend to walk in my sleep. I know. It's weird. Not only do I walk in my sleep, but I tend to do things while still in slumber. I once woke up in the living room at 6 in the morning playing Rockband. Luckily I didn't hurt myself, and amazingly I was able to play all 3 instruments and sing at the same time. There was also the night I figured out a rubix cube in my sleep. I set up a video camera to tape myself the same night, but sadly the tape was damaged after my niece used it as a pool floaty.

Anyway, the other night I had another one of my "episodes". I started walking while sleeping, then I guess I proceeded to the bathroom and..well...I shaved off my eyebrows. I don't know what came over me! I was having a terrible nightmare of furry slugs crawling across my forehead and a man in a pink, glittery robe told me that the only way I could stop them was to shave them with a Bic razor, so maybe that's what it was. Who knows.

I saw an episode of your show a couple of years back and I thought it was great that you gave a woman eyebrows so that she could feel beautiful again (although I did think she was good looking before)...But everybody knows you have to have good eyebrows. They totally frame the face! Duh. You're such a giver. I don't know how you do it.

Like I said, I asked Jolly 'Ol Saint Nick for a pair of arches, but he just sent me some generic note about how I should be dreaming of fairies and sugar plums. He also included an autographed copy of his headshot, so I guess that was nice.

Let me know when you get this letter and I'll send you my address. I don't want to include it in this note because I'm just not sure if you're actually reading your "fan letters"...I would hate for one of your assistants to think I was kidding. Plus, I'd be really embarrassed if Miss J or Nigel read it. I really look up to them.

Thanks for your time and I hope you're having a great holiday season.

Your eye-hair-less friend,
Kimee

Thanksgiving Thankful Thanks...

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 07:25:00 +0000

As I sit here listening to my now "classic" iPod...I of course give thanks to the many wonderful things in my life. My fams, my friends, my dude, healthy hair and nails, Facebook. All of those things have brought such happiness to my life and I am extremely thankful, but as I look around my apartment, I realize that there are also a lot of little things in life that bring smiles to my heart that I never get to thank. So I'd like to take this opportunity to give thanks to certain inanimate objects that never get to hear it (well, they'll never really "hear" it, but you know what I mean)

MY BUBBA KEG
This pink beverage holder allows me to support my addiction to drinking ice cold seltzer water with a splash of lemon through a straw all day long. Side thanks to Target for introducing me to this wonderful addition to my kitchen cupboard.

MY GLASS JAR FILLED WITH JELLY BEANS
I don't really like jellybeans, but I won this jar of candy at a friend's baby shower. We had to guess how many beans were in there and I was the closest. I never win that game, so I'm pretty proud that I finally won one after all these years. Not only did I win the jar, but I also received a gift certificate to Burke Williams! I usually get potpourri thingys at showers. I like the BW gift certificate a little better.

MY ETHNICALLY DIVERSE BOBBLE HEADS FROM EBAY
I have a lot of little chotchkies around my place. I like little splashes of color and I often find myself on ebay or at garage sales looking at random things. I've always wanted Vintage Asian Bobbleheads. One of my best friend's Mom is also a lover of chotchkies and I found myself drooling over her cute little Kissy Lip Asian Bobbleheads, so I found a pair of my own. I also wanted to honor my boyfriend who is not of the Asians, so I bought a red-headed bobble boy to match. Now the Asian girl and the red-headed boy live happy next to the living room phone.

ONLINE DICTIONARIES
I may or may not have mis-pronounced the word, "deteriorate" several times in my life. I'm thankful that I can go to the inter web to help me out sometimes.

SASHA FIERCE
I'm thankful for Beyonce's "Single Ladies" video because I LOVE to dance my butt off to it. I'm sure it'll come in handy after I eat a whole Turducken tomorrow for breakfast.
(another side thanks to SNL for the JT sketch)

MY CANVAS SHOPPING BAGS
I ALWAYS go grocery shopping with my canvas shopping bags. Yeah, it's good for the planet and stuff, but they also help me to carry lots of groceries in because I can throw the bag over my shoulder instead of having to hold them. I have very weak hands. I can barely open up a bottle of water. I also think it's funny when I carry my bags in the store and I just throw groceries in them. I get to walk on the dark side and feel like I'm shoplifting, but then feel like a perfect little citizen by paying for everything before I leave. Good times.

MY FRIEND DEEDEE MAGNO
I am well aware that Deedee isn't an inanimate object, but I feel the need to thank her at this moment. I love this girl. I was first introduced to Miss Magno by my best friend Gayle when we were kids. Deedee was in The Mickey Mouse Club and she was in the Pop group The Party. I first met Deedee when I joined the tour of Miss Saigon. She's super cool and I'm thankful to her and Youtube for allowing me to watch fun videos like this one:

I could go on and on with things to thank, but it's time to rest up for the big day tomorrow. I'm thankful. The end:)

Have a Happy Turkey Day GobbleMcGobblestones!!!!

Mee Time w/ Kimee Balmilero: "Domo Arigato Mr. Robot #1"

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:45:00 +0000

Check out the latest "Mee Time" craziness starring my pals Curtis, Sydney, Jenn and Yasmeen.

"Kids show star Curtis Cregan has decided to hang his dancing shoes and trade them in for a solid job. He's married, ready to start a family and has left showbiz behind...or has he? Curtis thinks it's all over and thinks his secret is safe, but can't seem to escape the "ghosts" of his past. Watch as Curtis' mind is HAUNTED by his alter ego, former cast mates and crazy dance moves. Happy Halloween!! MWAH HA HA HA HA!!!"

Enjoy!

Love love,

Sing, Dance and Vote...

Mee: "So it's almost that time again."

Person with Goofy Voice: "What time is it?"

Mee: "Guess."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Halloween Time?"

Mee: "Good one...but not what I'm thinking."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Fall time?"

Mee: "Again, good guess...but not what's on my mind."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Dancing with the Stars time?"

Mee: "Now you're just being silly..."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Time to buy toilet paper time?"

Mee: "Okay, you know what..."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Time to buy new batteries so that you don't have to keep switching the remote control batteries around time?"

Mee: "I don't do that..."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Time to just admit that you really do switch the batteries in the remotes time?"

Mee: "How about I just tell you what time it is."

Person with Goofy Voice: "But I like guessing."

Mee: "But you're taking too long to figure it out."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Is it I'm running out of time time?"

Mee: "No."

Person with Goofy Voice: "Oh. Then what time is it?"

Mee: "Well I thought you'd never ask! (drumroll) IT'S ALMOST TIME TO VOTE TIME!!"

Okay, so next week Tuesday a whole lotta something is going to change and I hope that if you're able to get up in this voting thing...then you're going to do it too! I'm not going to sit here and tell you who you should vote for and why. That's your deal. How cool is that? You get to wake up on Tuesday and pick a President. That's pretty rockin' if you ask me.

I'm excited to vote on Tuesday and I hope you are all feeling the same way. Not only do I get to vote, but I get a sticker that says, "I VOTED" too. I really like stickers. Stickers make me happy...and so does this song:

(I have no idea what they're saying, but I like the chorus. If you see someone skipping around doing that dance and singing that song on Tuesday...Holla at your girl!)

Who am I Anyway?

kimeemail@kimeeb.com (Kimee Balmilero) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:39:00 +0000

I watch a lot of television. Ain't no shame in my game...and as much as I LOVE my Tivo, it really hasn't helped my addiction. The more I watch it, the more I realize-I'm getting old. I've noticed in the past few years that my choices of shows have totally changed and I'm a different person. I mean I watch NatGeo sometimes...what?
There was a time I was addicted to MTV.

Shows like "Real World", "TRL", and "The Hills" used to put a smile on my face (alright, I still kinda like "The Hills"), but now my go to station is BRAVO (I know BRAVO's not for "old" people, but it's definitely a few years above MTV and a few years below The Hallmark Channel).

Although the majority of the shows that I watch on Bravo are reality shows, I don't feel too bad because I always feel like they're "fancy reality shows" like "Project Runway", and "Top Chef". I'm loving "The Rachel Zoe Project" too and yes, I do feel like I learn something from that stylish little lady. You know like what's going on with designers and stuff. Okay fine, whatever...at least I ain't watchin' "I Love New York".

Another thing that I've noticed about my TV viewing is my love for Baseball.
I HATED BASEBALL GROWING UP! I thought it was the most boring game ever! I mean for reals! I liked watching local Hawaiian fishing shows with my Dad way more. My boyfriend is a huge fan, and it just grew on me. Now I watch games even when he's not around and I get upset and scream when my teams aren't winning. I wonder if my boyfriend watches "Project Runway" when I'm not there and yells, "Fierce!" and "Yes, Honey!" at the screen. Or rewinds "So You Think You Can Dance" a million times just to see the AH-MAH-ZONG routine someone just did. Doubt it.

Another thing that I'm totally addicted to is texting. I feel so bad sometimes, but I loves it. This is why it's bad for me:
A) I text instead of talking to people
B) I've actually attempted to do it while driving (thank goodness for the new law)
and
C) I'm starting to speak as if I'm texting (ex: "OMG" and "Totes"-talking this way started as a joke, then it became my real life...bad Kimee).

I've had an iPhone since last December, so it hasn't helped me at all. I also think it's funny/weird when you're texting back and forth with someone and then when one of you finally gives in and calls, the other person doesn't answer! Ummmm...I know you're holding your phone, yo! I admit, I'm a screener sometimes. I tend to screen calls when I'm out and about.

One of my biggest fears is walking around the Mall or something, receiving a phone call from a friend,

looking at my phone,
making a weird face
and then screening them...

only to listen to their message right after,

then find out that they can see me from the second floor of the same mall and saw me pass on their call!

Oooopsies....

Well if this ever happens to me and you are the friend, thank you for helping me get over one of my fears. You're totes the bestest ever!!

So when I started blogging tonight, and thought of the title, "Who am I Anyway?" I obiviously started thinking of one of my fave movies of all time, "A Chorus Line."
I LOVED this movie when I was a kid. I got my first leg cramp trying to point my foot as hard as I could while watching it. Anyway, I wanted to find a clip from the movie of Paul singing "Who am I...", but couldn't find it. I did find these regional clips though. Enjoy...
