WAIPA IN REAL 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 FUN WEEKEND WITH OHANA & FRIENDS!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

MY WEEKEND WAS AN "AWWWESOME" ONE!!!

WE HAD A BBQ AT THE FIRESTATION FOR THE VOLUNTEERS AND STAFF. GRILLED BURGERS & BRATWURSTS, JAMBALAYA, POTATO SALAD, NACHO WITH CHEESE, DEVILED EGGS, ETC. PLUS A BANANA DESSERT AND MINT BROWNIES TOO!!!

IT WAS GOOD TO HAVE EVERYONE HANG OUT AND CHILL WITH EACH OTHER. YUMMY FOODS WITH LAUGHTERS AND FUN. WE ALSO PLAYED "CORNHOLE" AND THERE WAS EVEN HOPSCOTCH FOR THE KIDS TO ENJOY AS WELL!!!

MAHALO EVERYONE FOR AN "AWWWESOME" EVENT!!!

AND THE FUN DIDN'T END THERE...

SHORTLY AFTER THAT, I WENT OVER TO "ISAIAH & SARAH'S" PLACE FOR DINNER WHERE THEY MADE KABOBS, AND THEN I ATE A "BUFFALO CHICKEN EGG ROLL" MADE BY KIMANI & RACHEL, WHICH BLEW UP MY MOUTH... FRICKEN "ONOLICIOUS!!!", AND NOT LEAVE OUT THE "AWWWESOME" LEEK SOUP THAT STEVE MADE WITH THE "WHITE CORNBREAD" THAT JERI MADE TOO!!!

AND MORE DESSERTS TO GO AFTERWARDS... LOLLIPOP CHOCOLATE CAKE, VIRGIN STRAW BERRY DAIQUIRIS, AND OREO MILKSHAKES... GEEEZ!!!

AND THEN WE GOT TO PLAY "CRANIUM" AND "DOMINOES" WHICH ENDED THE N IGHT PERFECTLY!!!

MAHALO NUI LOA TO ISAIAH, SARAH, STEVE, JERI, KIMANI, AND RACHEL FOR AN "AWWWESOME" TIME!!!

I'M SEEING "SAKE BOMBS" & KARAOKE VERY SOON!!!

AFTER A VERY LONG & FUN SATURDAY... MY SUNDAY STARTED OUT THE BEST WAY I COULD EVER IMAGINED.... NO... I DIDN'T WIN THE LOTTERY OR WOKE UP WITH CHINESE CELEBRITY START, GONG LI IN MY BED.

I HEADED OVER TO MY GOOD FRIEND JOSH & MEGGIE'S PLACE AND MET UP WITH MY OHANA, KA'IWA, IOKEPA, AND KEKOA TO HELP MOVE SOME SCHOOL STUFF TO MEGGIE'S NEW KINDERGARTEN CLASS AT THE "MIKELNGUUT ELITNAURVIAT" SCHOOL.

WE MOVED AND TRANSPORTED A BUNCH OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES AND BOOKS TO HELP MEGGIE OUT.

I GOTTA SAY WHILE I WAS HELPING OUT, A STRONG FEELING OF "NOSTALGIA" CAME ACROSS ME AS I WAS SORTING THROUGH TOYS THAT I FORGOT EXISTED AND REMINDED ME OF MY KINDERGARTEN YEAR. IT WAS ALL FUN AND MEMORABLE AND VERY WELL WORTH IT TO HELP MEGGIE OUT.

JOSH & MEGGIE, ANYTIME YOU NEED MY HELP... I'M THERE 24/7... DON'T FORGET IT!!!

A BIG MAHALO TO MY OHANA; KA'IWA, IOKEPA, AND KEKOA FOR HELPING OUT TOO. I HOPE YOU HAD AS MUCH AS I DID!!!

AND IT DOESN'T EVEN END THERE YET... AS I WAS HELPING OUT WITH MEGGIE AND THE CREW... I GOT A TEXT FROM MY FRIEND ALLISON AND IN MIST OF ALL OF THIS, JUST WHEN WE WERE ALL DONE HELPING OUT, ALLISON SAYS IN HER TEXT SHE'S EATING EGGS, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF "PANCAKES!!!" YES... PANCAKES... I LOVE PANCAKES AND GUESS WHAT... SHE MADE ME PANCAKES WITH HOMEMADE BERRIES SYRUP!!!

MAHALO ALLISON!!!

NOW THAT CONCLUDES MY "AWWWESOME" WEEKEND!!!

MAHALO NUI LOA EVERYONE FOR MAKING MY WEEKEND A FUN ONE!!!

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

PROJECT SYNERGY - PHASE 05 - DAY 03.

ALOHA "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!"

ANOTHER GOOD RUN TODAY WITH A COOL BREEZE TO TAKE THE HEAT OFF A LITTLE. THIS TIME I INCREASED MY RUN AN EXTRA .5 MILE SO I RAN FOR 1.5 MILES AND WALKED FOR .5 MILE TO INCREASE MY ENDURANCE.

HERE IS MY COMPARISON FROM WEDNESDAY'S & TODAY'S:

I DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THE ENTIRE STATS BUT WILL DEFINITELY START READING UP ON IT AND ASK SOME EXPERTS TOO.

"557 CALORIES BURNED TODAY!!!"

I'M SO GLAD TO BE BACK IN FULL TRAINING AFTER A CHALLENGING SUMMER WITH KAHEALANI VISITING. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW MUCH OF A DISTRACTION SHE CAN BE WHEN SHE'S WITH ME. THE MOMENT I SEE HER... I DON'T WANNA DO ANYTHING BUT PLAY AND SPEND TIME WITH HER.

AND SHE HATES MY NEW EATING HABITS TOO. SHE GOT SO SICK AND TIRED OF EATING TURKEY SANDWICHES WITH AVOCADOS AND TOMATOES, THAT I HAD TO SHOP FOR JUNK FOODS LIKE PUDDING AND ICE CREAM AND JUICE AND CHIPS AND FAST FOODS AND "GOD KNOWS WHAT ELSE" IS ON THE LIST... LOL!!!

BUT THAT IS PART OF THE LESSON, I LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT MYSELF THIS PAST SUMMER AS FAR AS "DISCIPLINE" GOES. AND TO BE ABLE TO SEPARATE "OHANA" AND "LEISURE" ACTIVITIES, IT'S AN EYE OPENER

A FRIEND, JOSH ONCE TOLD ME:

"I'M A FIRM BELIEVER OF "CHEAT DAYS" BUT JUST KNOW THAT THE NEXT DAY YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORKOUT HARDER!!!"

AND I STAND BY THAT 100%!!!

SO ONCE AGAIN EVERYONE... "MAHALO NUI LOA" FOR BEING THERE FOR ME IN MIND, HEART, AND SPIRIT!!!"

I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

SORRY FOR NOT POSTING AS KAHEALANI AND I ARE SPENDING ALOT OF TIME WITH EACH OTHER BEFORE SHE LEAVES BETHEL, ALASKA.

YES IT ALWAYS BECOMES A SAD MOMENT WHEN MY KAHEALANI LEAVES. BUT THAT IS HOW IT IS FOR HER AS SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE AS FOR HER EDUCATION AND HER HAWAIIAN STUDIES OF LANGUAGE AND ARTS.

I'D LIKE TO SAY "MAHALO NUI LOA" FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS FOR MAKING KAHEALANI'S VISIT TO BETHEL, ALASKA AN "AWWWESOME" ONE AND FOR WELCOMING HER BACK WITH OPEN ARMS!!!

SHE WILL BE BACK FOR THE WINTER HOLIDAYS!!!
