Eating trail mix...
Eating trail mix is so exciting! Every bite is different. My ideal bite:
one almond
one cranberry
one dark chocolate chip
But I'm all for changing it up too. I could ALWAYS make the perfect bite for myself, but then what of all the dried bananas, raisins, peanuts, etc? They deserve some love, too. It's like jelly bellies. Yes, of course I have my favorites, but does that mean I'm going to pick them out and leave all the tutti-frutties at the bottom for the next poor soul? No way man.
So, yesterday was CRAZY. I met my competitors in the Crash the Super Bowl contest, Nivla and his boys and Landon Austin. Everyone was extremely nice. We all had private meetings with the team of people that will be helping create our music videos. My director was awesome and the team is amazing and I cannot wait for Friday. The last night we were driven to this oober deluxe restaurant on Sunset in a Hummer Limo. It was ridiculous. Fake fire place and all. The Doritos people are awesome. I love them all.
Today I will have my wardrobe meeting for the music video. Eek! This is so weird!
Oh yes, and as for this video. Aha. Maybe the second song I wrote as a kid. My mom and I dug it up over the weekend. My back up is Emi (Digg girl on right). Why am I wearing such a silly hat? And why are my garments comprised of scarves? Who knows...

@amy
"genevieve" is an original :)
@j.c.
where did the name genevieve come from... hmm. it just kind of came out of my mouth as if it was the only possible name that could have worked for this song. weird?
@hiryu
covers on future albums- not a bad idea:)
@crystal
ah yes, i forgot to mention that i was psychic. i bet today you were going to request "the rain keeps falling" too, eh? haha
@dan
i'll likely be in the OC/LA area for the rest of January for the contest. if i get my act together you can definitely count on some LA shows in the near future!

wow I'm the first one... very cute Kina. I like the clapping.
I've got to say I love your voice. You are a very talented writer/performer. Also not bad on the eyes either ;) Keep up the awesome work. And whenever you play your next live show here in Austin be sure and let me know when and where :D
we're all rooting for you, kina
Hi Kina, that was very cute :))
Kina-
Who wrote the sign that says "This is a stupid, low flush toilet! For best results, hold down the handle."
?????
me. I know it's harsh, but it's true. Our toilet is very inefficient.
What restaurant was it? Maybe it'll become a tourist attraction (if it's not already) when people find out Kina was there
And oh wow you don't like Tutti-Frutti Jelly Bellies? I'd eat the leftover Tutti-Frutti beans :P
Now, those Buttered Popcorn ones... o_O
@horatio hornblower: what?
i think you are seriously underestimating your popularity right now... lol
like it's crazy how you are communicating with each of your fans individually and personally. like on your end, it's probably "normal"
on OUR end, it's like "WHOA, she is talking to us hahaha"
i really hope u win!!!
i will pray a hail Mary for you =)
since Mary is a woman and you are the only woman left in the top 3 lol
oh yeah, so you checked out my rap for hazel eyes? =T i only make that face because the one i am going to be posting on the 15th is significantly better and i'm afraid that in your busy schedule, you won't be able to check out my other songs and have less incentive to cuz you already heard one of my songs cuz i obviously don't expect you to hear every song i post. =T
LOL... it's as if i was a chef or something and u were doing a taste test, it's like i gave you some bread to munch on while waiting to bust out the main entree later on while you, on the other hand, went into my restaurant just wanting to nibble and leave right away cuz you weren't that hungry. so you totally miss out on what i was cooking up for you and when i bring it out, you totally peaced out already! HAHA
sOOoOOOO.. i am hoping that this 15th, stay for the main entree and please check just check out just one more video, and i promise not to self promote my songs after this last one! LOL
God bless

That was a really cute video. I think you have a great voice and your bursting with talent. I hope you win, I'll be voting for you. How old are u? just curious, u look 15.
kina is 22
that was *exactly* what I was asking for when I said "another song with your sister emi, please" 8-))
you inspire me... thanks
That was cute....I haven't read you blog yet..I will do that when I get home tonight from babys itting...but I wanted to tell you that "Ours To Keep" was used on General Hospital today...But this time it was not used used for Liason, it was used for the entire End Montage...Everyone must love your song since they used it for a lot of people today!!!
Even though its Liason's song and should only be used for them, people love it so they use it.
-Jen-
The chibi Kina and Emi debut today? Its cool that you have all this footage from your childhood. I should remember to digitize some of my old home videos before the VHS rots away.
Good luck tommorow!
@ mrs g
low-flush toilets are the bane of modern society. those and low-flo showerheads. i get mine on the swedish black market ^_^
You and your sister obviously had nice voices even at that young age; however, let's just say I'm glad your rhythm has improved since this video was made
A Hummer? Yukk..
Well I guess you didn't have a choice....
hehe
Good luck tomorrow!
Hi Kina:
Greetings from Austin. I'm Scott's friend you met with the baby twins outside his house one day. We've got 4 votes in a day for you and certainly hope you come back to Austin!
I told you before and I'll tell you again..... incredible voice and powerfully written lyrics.
Wow... the Doritos staff actually approved this comment I made, I thought for sure they wouldn't but I went for it anyway
"9 Jan 2008 13:07
I can say whatever I want to say; regardless, it'll be Landon or Kina who wins, since they're both from America's heartland, exactly what they're looking for.
Vote for KINA! "
Got into a bit of an argument after I accused Nivla of buying some of their support... which they also approved my comment of...
That technically means someone at least partially agrees with what I had to say. It does make sense for the final 3 three though, since we don't get to see the vote count... they'll go with who they want regardless, either way, I'll keep voting :)
kina,
that was too adorable.
mrs. g.,
you and mr g have some amazing kids

your passion--despite your exhausting past few weeks--is a gift. your music truly resonates with me. i think now i should note my apprecation while there's still a chance you read your own fan posts!
the others are right you know, you'll be too famous any minute. just caught up on your blogs from day 1 and i'm so impressed with how you connect with fans. can't wait to brag that i was one of your first few hundred thousand views on youtube!
i wish there was some way you could play at GZ again while in you're still in socal.
dude, i'm like.. in love with you know! :) hahaha, like i saw your thing from youtube, someone was watching it, so i was like.. hey she looks pretty in that small thumbnail picture, so i click.. and it was try, your song?
dude.. yeah, may i get a shout out? TIM CHO .. cho like, choke, but no k or e...?? :) man, i even like.. facebook friended you, which seems sort of stalkerish-- err.....yeah, you are awesome. i tried to sing that one song, but not too successful! GOODLUCK keep it strong!
hey kina
