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 "AWWWESOME" WEEKEND CONTINUES...

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

AFTER A LONG SATURDAY...  SUNDAY WHICH HAPPENS TO BE WINTER SOLSTICE ARRIVES AND AS SOON AS I WAKE UP...  I REALIZE THAT IT'LL 12 HOURS LEFT BEFORE KAHEALANI ARRIVES IN BETHEL, ALASKA!!!

IT WAS THE LONGEST SUNDAY EVER...  BUT I HAD ALOT TO DO TOO SUCH LAUNDRY AND CLEANING UP THE LIVING ROOM AND PLACE THE PRESENTS AROUND THE LITTLE TREE THAT I BOUGHT JUST FOR KAHEALANI TO SEE AND ENJOY WHILE SHE VISITS.  I ALSO PLANNED ON ATTENDING THE "CHRISTMAS PLAY" BEING HELD AT THE "UNITED PENTECOSTAL CHURCH".

WHILE DOING LAUNDRY AT THE FIRE STATION, I WAS TOO EXCITED AND VERY RESTLESS AND I EVEN FORGOT THAT IT WAS "CHEAT SUNDAY" FOR ME!!!  I LOOK INSIDE THE FRIDGE AND...


THAT'S RIGHT...  PRIME RIB AND SOME BAKED POTATOES!!!  IT WAS TOO SALTY FOR ME SINCE I PRETTY MUCH CUT OUT AS MUCH SALT AS POSSIBLE.  BUT IT WAS YUMMY!!!

RIGHT AFTER THAT MY LAUNDRY WAS DONE AND BACK HOME I WENT AND GOT READY TO ATTEND THE CHRISTMAS PLAY.



















I ENJOYED EVERY MOMENT OF THIS VERY "CUTE" CHRISTMAS PLAY AND SEEING THE CHILDREN AND HEARING THE SONGS BEING SANG CAN...  I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF THE HOLIDAYS!!!

WHILE I'M ENJOYING THE CHRISTMAS PLAY...  IT WAS ONLY A MATTER OF SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE KAHEALANI ARRIVES!!!  MY HEART IS RACING AND MY ADRENALINE IS PUMPING...  I WAS EXCITED!!!

THEN I RECEIVED A TEXT MESSAGE FROM ALASKA AIRLINES...  "FLIGHT CANCELLED"...  PLEASE CONTACT OUR SERVICE REPS!!!

THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MY HEAD WAS...  "NOOOOOOOOO!!!"

I HEAD OVER TO THE ALASKA AIRLINES TERMINALS AND WAS TOLD THE LANDING STRIP LIGHTS WERE NO IN SERVICE AND IT WAS ALREADY DARK.  I WAS ALREADY SAD TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS NOT GOING TO SEE KAHEALANI UNTIL ONE MORE DAY...  UGHHH!!!

BUT AT LEAST ALASKA AIRLINES ACCOMMODATED KAHEALANI BY LETTING HER STAY AT THEIR "EMPLOYEE LOUNGE" OVERNIGHT AND WILL THEN FLY OUT THE NEXT MORNING.  I WAS CONNECTED TO SPEAK WITH KAHEALANI AND ASKED HER IF SHE WAS OKAY...  KAHEALANI'S REPLY:

"DAD...  THIS PLACE IS "AWWWESOME" AND THEY GOT A FLAT SCREEN TV WITH LOTS OF MOVIES TO CHOOSE FROM, A HUGE SOFA THAT I CAN LAY DOWN AND CRASH OUT ON, ALL KINDS OF FOODS AND DRINKS AND IF I WANT TO EAT AT MC DONALD'S...  THEY SAID I COULD!!!"

AFTER HEARING THAT, I WAS PRETTY SPEECHLESS BUT HAPPY TO HEAR HER VOICE AND THAT SHE SOUNDED HAPPY.  AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT...  "DAD...  I'M GONNA GET OFF THE PHONE BECAUSE I'M WATCHING A MOVIE RIGHT NOW...  BYE!!!"

SO ANOTHER 12 HOURS OR SO THAT I HAVE TO WAIT...  AND YES...  I WAS SAD.

AT LEAST KAHEALANI WAS IN GOOD SPIRIT AND NOT UPSET FOR BEING AWAY FROM FAMILY IN THAT PARTICULAR SITUATION.

SO MONDAY MORNING COMES AND I RECEIVE A TEXT THAT MY KAHEALANI HAS LEFT ANCHORAGE AND WILL BE LANDING IN BETHEL WITHIN THE HOUR.  I GOT OUT OF BED AND WARMED UP THE CAR AND THEN HEADED OVER TO THE AIRPORT!!!


SHE FINALLY ARRIVED AND I AM SO HAPPY AND BLESSED TO HAVE HER FOR THE HOLIDAYS!!!

THANK YOU GOD FOR BRINGER HER SAFELY TO ME.  AND THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS TOO!!!
