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!!!"

I COMPLETED MY "6 - WEEKS WORKOUT PHASE" - FROM 356LBS - 328.8LBS - SWEET!!!


WOW!!!

6 WEEKS SOUNDS FELT LIKE A LONG TIME.  DESPITE ALL THE APPOINTMENTS, CRAZY WORK SCHEDULES, AND OTHERS OUTINGS, TIME STILL SEEMED TO MOVE SLOW FOR ME.  AND I THINK THE REASON FOR THAT IS I MISS MY DAUGHTER, KAHEALANI SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO BE WITH HER ALREADY AND MAKES TIME APPEARS TO MOVE SLOW!!!

WELL I AM VERY HAPPY AND PROUD OF MY WEIGHT LOSS.  i WILL START ANOTHER "6 - WEEKS PROGRAM" WITH ADDED CARDIO STARTING NEXT MONDAY ALREADY.  I HAVE MY PLANS ALL SET UP AND AM ALREADY FIRED UP TO START!!!

ONCE AGAIN EVERYONE, HUGE "HUGS & THANKS" TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT ME.  I LOVE READING YOUR FEEDBACKS AND IT INSPIRES ME TO MOVE FORWARD.

ANOTHER VIDEO UPDATE ON "MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE".


I FINALLY GOT ALL MY SUMMER GEARS PACKED AWAY AND BROUGHT IN MY WINTER GEARS.  AS MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS MAY BE MY LAST WINTER IN ALASKA BECAUSE I AM MOVING BACK HOME TO HAWAI'I HOPEFULLY BY LATE 2011.

BETHEL, ALASKA IS GETTING COLDER BY THE HOURS AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, SNOW!!!  I'M NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BUT IT IS PART OF NATURE.

I WENT BACK TO BALLROOM DANCING LAST SATURDAY AND I AM REALLY HAPPY THAT I DID GO BACK.  I HAD GOOD TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GOING BACK NEXT WEEK SATURDAY!!!

FROM 356LBS TO 329LBS IN 5 WEEKS!!! SOUNDS LIKE AN INFOMERCIAL, HUH???


TODAY I ATTENDED A DIABETES CLASS AT YKHC.  IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND I KNOW THAT I AM ON MY WAY TO A NEW AND DIFFERENT LIFESTYLE FOR THE BETTER.  I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS MORE THAN JUST COUNTING CALORIES, NOW I NEED TO COUNT SUGARS AND CARBOHYDRATES.  IF YOU ASK ME, THIS IS WHERE ALL MY MATH SKILLS BEGIN TO KICK IN.  AND NOT TO MENTION THAT TO EAT GOOD WILL COST MORE MONEY.

BUT I'LL SAY THIS, I RATHER SPEND MORE MONEY ON LIVING GOOD AND HEALTHY THAN SPENDING IT AT THE HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF NEGLECTING MY HEALTH.

NEW CONCERNS FROM MY DOCTOR, I'M BEING REFERED TO AN E.N.T. SPECIALIST.


MORE CONCERNS WERE BROUGHT UP BY MY DOCTOR WHICH IS OKAY WITH ME.  I RATHER KNOW ABOUT IT NOW THAN LATER ON.

MS. BLAKE SAYS "THANK YOU" FOR ALL THE EXTRA SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND FOOD SNACKS.  MOST OF YOUR CLASSMATES ARE THERE AND I DID SEE SOME NEW FACES.  I MISS YOU SWEETHEART AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

I LOVE YOU!!!

LOVE ALWAYS,
