**i was 16 or 17 years old when i met carrie ann inaba. i use to work at niu valley 76 gas station near her house when she use to pull in with her red toyota supra once a week to put in gas. right when she would pull up, everybody would race to be the one to put gas in for her. and of course, when it came to that, nobody could run faster than me. we ended up becoming friends and hung out for a while. we use to talk about our dreams and i remember laughing at her all the time when she told me that she wanted to become a famous dancer. carrie use to run around dancing all over the place and i seriously thought she was joking. see, back then, i couldn’t comprehend with dreams because my dream was to hang out at sandy beach drinking beers with the boys my whole life. but carrie was different. she was driven… and also from punahou. yeah, punahou kids have huge dreams and most of them come true. anyway, throughout the years, i’ve seen her go from launching records in japan, to the popular tv’s living world’s “fly girl” to madonna’s “girlie show” dancer, to hollywood movie actress, and to where she is today, the dancing with the stars icon. she’s on top of her game and it’s so awesome to see her so successful. every time i see her on tv, she looks and acts the same as she did years ago. a cool chick with a great personality. driven… that’s carrie ann inaba…
**by the way, i still have a couple photos of her back in the days in my album. if i posted it on my blog and she found out, she would hunt me down and kill me… haha.. so i won’t go there….
