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!!!"

DEPECHE MODE CONCERT IN MOSCOW NEXT YEAR!!! AND I'M GOING!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

EARLIER THIS YEAR I HEARD "DEPECHE MODE" IS DOING A WORLD TOUR INCLUDING THE U.S.  I WAS INTRODUCED TO THIS BAND WAY BACK IN 1990 BY A COLLEGE GAL NAMED TANYA WHO I JUST MET WITHIN DAYS AFTER ARRIVING INTO PHOENIX, ARIZONA MID JULY 1990 FOR COLLEGE.  SHE WAS THE PART OF THE ORIENTATION AND WELCOME COMMITTEE FOR NEW STUDENTS OF DEVRY UNIVERSITY.  SHE'S CUTE, SHE'S SWEET, AND SHE ASKED ME IF I' WANTED TO GO TO A CONCERT WITH HER...  WHAT THE HELL YOU THINK I SAID???  YOU DAMN RIGHT I SAID, "YES!!!"  AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO OR WHAT CONCERT IT WAS...  SO LONG IT WASN'T "NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK", RIGHT...  LOL!!! 

SO AFTER I SEXUALLY ACCEPTED, I MEAN GRACEFULLY ACCEPTED...  😈😈😈, SHE REVEALED TO ME THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE "DEPECHE MODE".  I WAS LIKE WHO THE HELL IS THAT???  BUT SHE WAS CUTE, RIGHT???

SO ON CONCERT NIGHT, WE HEADED TO THE "ARIZONA VETERANS MEMORIAL COLISEUM" AND SAW DEPECHE MODE PERFORM. 

WOW!!!  WOW!!!  WOW!!!  THEY ROCKED THE WHOLE NIGHT AWAY!!!  THEY REMINDED ME OF ANOTHER GROUP CALLED, "KRAFTWERK" (AN ELECTRONIC BAND FROM  GERMANY) ONLY WITH VOCALS AND DEPECHE MODE DEFINITELY WON MY EARS AND HEART.  AND IT WAS JAM PACKED WITH HOTTIES!!!  BACK THEN I WAS A LEAN 175LBS POUNDS COLLEGE BOY WHO TOOK HIS SHIRT OFF BECAUSE IT WAS HOT AND SWEATY AND WE ARE IN ARIZONA MID SUMMER JULY!!!  I DIDN'T HAVE A 6 PACK ABS, BUT I WAS STILL HOT ENOUGH TO MAKE OUT WITH SOME HOTTIES THAT NIGHT INCLUDING TANYA...  LOL!!!  WOW...  THE GOOD DAYS!!!

AND NOW LETS FAST FORWARD 27 YEARS TO PRESENT DAY!!!

SO EARLIER THIS YEAR DEPECHE MODE ANNOUNCED THEIR GLOBAL SPIRIT TOUR AND I'M LOOKING AT THEIR U.S TOUR DATES AND LOCATIONS AND PICKED CHICAGO, ILLINOIS BABY!!!  I NEVER BEEN THERE AND ALASKA AIRLINES FLIES THERE WHICH MEANS I CAN FLY FREE!!!  THE TICKETS WERE PRETTY PRICEY BUT I CHOSE A GOOD SPOT AND SPENT $300 TO RESERVE MY TICKET FOR AUGUST 2017.

AS BLOGGED EARLIER, I SPENT MY ENTIRE SUMMER IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA RECOVERING FROM MY KNEES SURGERY WHICH SADLY RESULTED ME MISSING THE CONCERT.  I DIDN'T EXPECT TO TAKE THAT LONG TO RECOVER.  SO I CALLED THE TICKET SITE ABOUT GETTING A REFUND AND I WAS GIVEN THE OPTIONS TO ROLL MY TICKET TO ANOTHER CONCERT LOCATION.  AFTER REVIEWING MY OPTIONS, I DIDN'T CARE FOR THE WEST COAST AND PHOENIX, ARIZONA WAS SOLD OUT!!!  THEY ALSO SAID THAT I COULD CHOOSE FOREIGN COUNTRIES TOO.  HMMM...  NOW THAT MIGHT BE A DAMN COOL OPTION.  SO I LOOKED AT MY OPTIONS AND OUT OF:

MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM, DUBLIN, LONDON, GERMANY, NORWAY, BELGIUM, SPAIN, ITALY, FRANCE, DENMARK, HUNGARY, AUSTRIA, POLAND, BELARUS, FINLAND, LITHUANIA...



I CHOSE MOSCOW, RUSSIA...  WHERE VODKA AND CHESS RULES!!!  I LOVE VODKA AND I SUCK AT CHESS...  LOL!!!


MY $300 VALUE TICKET IS WORTH MORE IN RUBLES WHICH MEANS I GOT FRONT SEAT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE FACING THE BAND STAGE, THE BEST TICKET AND SEAT EVER!!!



I'M IN THE PURPLE SECTION!!!






THIS IS IN OTKRYTIYE ARENA, MOSCOW AND AN HOUR AWAY FROM OLIMPIISKY ARENA, MOSCOW!!!

I'M SO EXCITED TO BE SEEING DEPECHE MODE AGAIN AND IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA!!!  I GOT BIG PLANS ALREADY AND HOPEFULLY MY FRIEND FROM LONDON WILL BE ABLE TO MEET ME TOO, BUT IF NOT...  I'LL BE JUST FINE.  I CAN'T WAIT TO GO SIGHT SEEING AND VISIT HISTORICAL PLACES WITH DEEP RICH HISTORY!!!  AND DRINK LOTS OF VODKAS!!!

I BETTER START LEARNING RUSSIAN SOON!!!

OH DID I MENTION THAT I'LL BE IN NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA FOR HALLOWEEN WEEK???  IF NOT...  STAY TUNED FOR MORE EXCITING BLOGGING!!!

TO BE CONTINUED...

BACK TO REALITY - BACK IN BETHEL, ALASKA.

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I'M BACK TO WORK AT BOTH JOBS, AFTER SEVERAL DAYS STAYING WITH MOM, I FINALLY HEADED BACK TO HOME AND STARTED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS.  IT WASN'T EASY, MY HOUSE IS PRETTY QUIET AND I LIVE BY MYSELF SO ITS PRETTY DEPRESSING WHEN 12 YEARS AGO WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT THIS PLACE, IT WAS FILLED WITH COMPANY, ESPECIALLY MY WIFE (NO EX-WIFE) AND MY KAHEALANI.  ALOT OF MEMORIES MY PLACE HAS AND I SURE DO MISS THEM BOTH.

BUT ANYWAYS I STARTED CLEANING AND GETTING RID OF UNNECESSARY JUNKS AND STUFFS, ORGANIZED THE KITCHEN AND MY BEDROOM.  DID LAUNDRY, VACUUMED MY HOUSE, SWEPT AND ORGANIZED MY ARCTIC ENTRY ROOM, AND SEVERAL HOURS LATER...  I POPPED MY FEET UP AND WATCHED SOME DVD FAVORITES TIL I FELL ASLEEP.



3 WEEKS AFTER...

WORK AT THE JUVENILE JAIL HAS ALWAYS BEEN STRESSFUL, AND NOT SO MUCH ON THE JUVENILES BUT MY CO-WORKERS AND SUPERVISORS...  FO'REAL!!!  I'M NOT GONNA GO IN DETAILS BUT SERIOUSLY...  COMMON SENSE, COURAGE, TEAMWORK, AND COMMUNICATION IS "FUCKING LACKING!!!"


WORK AT ALASKA AIRLINES HAS ALWAYS AND WILL BE MY PLACE OF PEACE AND HAPPINESS.  ALASKA AIRLINES DEFINITELY UPHOLD THEIR VALUES AND STICK TO IT AND ALWAYS STRIVES FOR THE BETTER AND BEYOND.  OUR SUPERVISOR DEFINITLEY TAKES CARE OF ME AND MY CO-WORKERS, WE WORK AS A TEAM, WE OPENLY COMMUNICATE TO ONE ANOTHER IF AN ISSUE EVER SURFACE AND RESOLVE IT IMMEDIATELY, WE TAKE OF EACH OTHER AND WE ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACK...  WE ARE ABOUT "WIN/WIN".  



MISSING MY OHANA IN ANCHORAGE, BUT AT LEAST ITS A BEAUTIFUL EVENING OUT TONIGHT.




OH I ALMOST FORGOT...

I JUST MADE TWO YEARS WORKING FOR ALASKA AIRLINES AND I'M WISHING MYSELF A HAPPY 2 YEARS ANNIVERSARY!!!  AND I LOOK FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MORE YEARS TO COME.  I AM FOREVER LOYAL AND FAITHFUL TO THIS AWESOME AND AMAZING COMPANY!!!

HERE'S A SHORT VIDOE I MADE OF MY ME AND ALASKA AIRLINES!!!

ENJOY!!!



AND THAT IS ALL FOR NOW!!!

STAY TUNED FOR MY NEXT BLOG ON RETURNING BACK TO ANCHORAGE FOR AN OVERNIGHT WITH OHANA AND H3 FUN!!!
