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 LAST DAY AT WORK FOR 2010!!!



MY LAST DAY AT WORK FOR THE YEAR 2010.  A VERY CHALLENGING YEAR FOR ME.  I SAW MY DAUGHTER GO AWAY TO HAWAI'I FOR SCHOOL AND AS MOST PEOPLE WOULD AGREE, PART OF ME WENT WITH HER AND NOW I HAVE TO REBUILD MYSELF IN 2011 TO GAIN BACK MY LIFE AND BE STRONG AND MOVE ONTO BIGGER CHALLENGES THAT LIFE HAS IN STORE FOR ME. 

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOUR PATIENCE FOR TOLERATING ME THROUGH ALL MY STRUGGLES IN 2010.  YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE IN HEART.

GETTING MY FIRECRACKERS READY FOR NEW YEAR'S EVE!!!


THIS WAS NO EASY TASK TO DO AS WELL.  I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT PREPARING TO CELEBRATE NEW YEAR'S EVE "HAWAIIAN & CHINESE" STYLE IS VERY CHALLENGING WITH EXTREME COLD WEATHER AND HIGH WINDS PREDICTED ON THE EVE.  ALL I CAN DO IS PRAY FOR A WARM AND WINDLESS EVENING SO IT WON'T BE TOO UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE LIGHTING UP AND WATCHING ALL THESE FIRECRACKERS GO OFF!!!
