MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!

MY INTRO

ALOHA AND WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL BLOG!!! I THOUGHT WHY NOT SHARE MY PERSONAL GAINS & STRUGGLES THAT LIFE PUTS OUT TO EACH AND ONE OF US. I FEEL THAT THROUGH THE GIFT OF "GIVING & SHARING", THERE IS NO WAY BETTER THAN START THIS BLOG WHICH IS ALL ABOUT ME, MY OHANA (FAMILY), HOALOHA (FRIENDS), AND EVEN ENEMIES WHICH ARE THE VERY ONES I NEED TO LOVE AND ACCEPT.


I'LL SAY THIS STRAIGHT UP, I DON'T HOLD BACK MY FEELINGS FOR ANYONE AND IT'LL COME OUT OF MY MOUTH ON HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU AND OTHERS. I DON'T GO BEHIND ANYONE'S BACK AND START RUMOURS WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL CIRCLE AROUND AND FINALLY HIT ITS TARGET. WHY TAKE THE LONG ROUTE WHEN I CAN GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT IS THE "REAL" WAY OF LIVING LIFE, "BE REAL" AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE WORLD IS WATCHING.


ON THE OTHER NOTE, "I AM" THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE FROM THE WAY "I SEE IT". I AM NOT SPEAKING FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S FEEDBACK OR "CONCEITEDNESS". "THIS IS" WHAT I CHOOSE TO SEE MYSELF EVERYDAY WHEN I WAKE UP FROM MY BED AND THANK "AKUA" (GOD) FOR GIVING ME ONE MORE DAY TO LIVE, REGARDLESS OF REGRETS FROM THE "YESTERDAYS" TO THE FEARS OF "TOMMOROWS".


IN MY EYES, LIVING A "BEAUTIFUL LIFE" CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED BY "CHOICE" AND IT REQUIRES "INTEGRITY", "HONESTY", "UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE", "FORGIVENESS" AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, "LOVE".


AS MY BEAUTIFUL ANCESTORS HAVED ALWAYS BELIEVED:


'Ike aku, 'ike mai, kokua aku kokua mai; pela iho la ka nohana 'ohana.


WHICH MEANS, RECOGNIZE OTHERS, BE RECOGNIZED, HELP OTHERS, BE HELPED; SUCH IS A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.


SO ONCE AGAIN, "WELCOME TO MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!"

MY PHYSICAL THERAPIST SAID...

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!


I WENT IN THIS MORNING TO GO SEE A PHYSICAL THERAPIST AND HERE IS THE LOWDOWN:


"DISC DEGENERATION", YUP SOUNDS LIKE AN "EMO" SONG, RIGHT???  SO HE TELLS THAT EVERYONE GOES THROUGH THIS AFTER THEY HIT THEIR 30'S AND IT GETS EVEN WORST FOR SOME AND NOT SO WORST FOR OTHERS.  IN OTHER WORDS, "OLD AGE" IF YOU ASK ME!!!  MAN...  THIS IS SO LAME TO ACCEPT IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW, BUT HEY, I ASKED FOR THE TRUTH AND I GOT THE TRUTH.  I'M GIVEN A WHOLE NEW "SIT POSTURE" WHENEVER I SIT DOWN, BASIC STRETCHES THAT I COULD'VE SWORN THAT I'VE DONE NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, LOG DOWN ALL PAIN FACTORS FOR THE NEXT 2-3 DAYS.  SO THIS IS FAR FROM OVER.  THE GOOD NEWS IS AS OF RIGHT NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOT BONE RELATED WHICH MEANS NO SURGERY.  SO UNTIL NEXT TIME, I'LL BE IN TOUCH.

HALLOWEEN & OCTOBER IS DONE & GONE...


From My Beautiful Daughter





A HUGE SHOUT OUTS TO ALL WHO HAS MADE OUR HALLOWEEN A CRAZY & MEMORABLE ONE.  AS YOU CAN SEE KAHEALANI DID NOT GIVE US A CHANCE TO REST.  SHE WAS THE STAR OF THE "DELTA DISCOVERY NEWSPAPER", THE ONLY 6 YEARS OLD WITH AN "M-RATED" COSTUME.  OTHER KIDS WERE ACTUALLY LOOKING TWICE BEFORE APPROACHING HER, LOL!!!

AND NOT TO MENTION MY WIFE'S AWESOME PUMPKIN CARVING OF OUR FAVORITE, "UFC LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION, BJ PENN".  IT WAS HIGHLY PRAISED BY MANY INCLUDING "BJ PENN'S WEBSITE" AS "FEATURED PHOTO".  WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR???

AS FOR MY WORKOUTS, I HAD TO PUT IT ON HOLD LAST WEEK AND NOW I AM BACK IN THE PROGRAM.  AS FOR MY BACK, IT IS STILL ACHING BUT I DO HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW AND I HOPE TO FIND OUT THAT IT IS NOT TOO SERIOUS.

UNTIL THEN, ALOHA AHUI HOU!!!

WINTER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED...

ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY AND I'M STILL PUSHING MYSELF DESPITE ALL THE PAIN MY BACK HAS ENDURED.  I MUST SAY THAT I SHOULD PROUD OF MYSELF FOR STILL FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT AS FAR EXERCISING GOES.  I AM STILL ONLY "CARDIO" AND PUTTING OFF MY "STRENGTH CIRCUIT TRAINING" TO AVOID ANY POSSIBLE INJURIES.  I KNOW I'VE SAID IN THE PAST THAT I WAS GONNA GO SEE A DOCTOR REGARDING MY LOWER BACK PAINS, BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME TO TOUGH IT OUT AND STRETCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.


ON ANOTHER NOTE, WINTER HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN BETHEL, ALASKA.  SNOW IS OFFICIALLY HERE.  WILL POST PICTURES UP SOON.


UNTIL THEN...

STILL FIGHTING THE PAIN!!!

MAN...  IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 2 WEEKS AND STILL THE PAIN ON MY LOWER BACK PERSISTS ON AND OFF.  I CONTINUED TO "CARDIO ONLY" THROUGHOUT THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 12 - 16, 2009.  I REALLY WANT GET BACK TO MY "CIRCUIT TRAINING" ASAP.  IF MY LOWER BACK PAINS KEEPS BOTHERING ME, I WILL GET IT LOOKED AT.  I CANNOT POSSIBLY THINK HOW THIS COULD HAPPENED TO ME.


OTHER THAN THAT, THE WEATHER IS GETTIN' COLD BY THE DAY, YET IT STILL BRIGHT AND CLEAR BLUE SKIES THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE WEEK.  NO SNOW YET BUT I CAN FEEL IT COMING VERY SOON.

"REDONDO HOTDOGS!!!"


SO UNFAIR, I WAS SO TEMPTED BUT I MANAGED TO ONLY GO FOR A "MELALEUCA EXCLUSIVE" ENERGY BAR.


HOW LAME IS THAT???
