10,000 DAYS & COUNTING!!!

Today marks a milestone in the history of the Kilauea volcano at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. 10,000 days ago, on January 3, 1983, Kilauea began its current East Rift Zone eruption. The superintendent of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Cindy Orlando, calls it “a biological and geological wonder.” For the very latest on what is going on with this amazing event, check out the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ASKED BY MANY PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT IS IT LIKE TO LIVE ON AN ISLAND THAT HAS AN ACTIVE VOLCANO.  THE BEST WAY TO EXPLAIN THIS IS BY SAYING THIS:

"ACCEPTING AND LIVING THIS WAY OF LIFE"

THIS APPLIES TO ANYONE OUT THERE LIVING ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD.  WE CANNOT CHANGE MOTHER NATURE OR EVEN TRY TO MESS AROUND WITH HER.  LET HER DO AS SHE PLEASED AND THE REST WILL BE ALL TAKEN CARE OF.

GO KILAUEA!!!

REPO ACTION IN BETHEL, ALASKA!!!

MY FRIEND, "BURRITO KIM CHI" DOES "REPO JOBS" AS A SIDE JOB TO MAKE EXTRA CASH ON THE SIDE BECAUSE HE SUCKS AT "POKER".  ANYWAYS, I'VE HEARD THAT HE HAS RECENTLY "REPO" SOME 8 WHEELER WITH TANK TREADS VEHICLE DURING THE WINTER AND NOW THAT SPRING IS HERE, HE HAS TO TRANSPORT IT TO THE AIRPORT FOR DELIVERY.

THIS WAS FUNNY AS HECK BUT FUN TO RIDE TOO.

KAHEALANI'S TRIP TO ANCHORAGE, ALASKA (MAY 2010)

KAHEALANI AND I WENT TO ANCHORAGE, ALASKA JUST TO SPEND SOME "1 ON1" TIME WITH EACH OTHER.  IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE TRIP.  WATCHING MY LITTLE GIRL GROWING BY THE DAY AS HER DAYS IN ALASKA ARE DISAPPEARING BECAUSE BY THE END OF THIS SUMMER, SHE WILL BE MOVING TO HILO, HAWAI'I AND ATTEND SCHOOL AT A "HAWAIIAN IMMERSION SCHOOL" WHICH I AM VERY EXCITED FOR HER TO GO TO.  ALTHOUGH I'LL BE MISSING HER WHEN SHE LEAVES, IT WILL BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT I WILL ALSO MOVE TO HILO, HAWAI'I A PLACE I CALL, "HOME".

BIG "MAHALOS" GOES OUT TO DENISE, VANG, TWITCHMEISTER, AND BUNNICK FOR MAKING KAHEALANI'S TRIP A VERY FUN ONE.  FROM EATING AMAZING HOMEMADE WAFFLES WITH "REAL MAPLE SYRUP", WATCHING 3-D MOVIES, JUMPING CRAZY AT "BOUNCY BEARS", EATING AN OUTRAGEOUS DESSERT AT TEXAS LONGHORN STEAKHOUSE, GO JOYRIDING ALL OVER THE TOWN, KAHEALANI IS VERY THANKFUL.

KAHEALANI'S 1ST WORKOUT VIDEO - DEDICATED TO BJ PENN!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

KAHEALANI AND I WORKED TOGETHER ON HER "1ST WORKOUT VIDEO" AND SHE DEDICATES THIS VIDEO TO HER FAVORITE MMA FIGHTER, "BJ PENN".

IT TOOK 2 DAYS TO FILM AND SEVERAL HOURS TO LEARN THE TRICKS AND TRADES OF VIDEO EDITING.  SO CUT ME SOME SLACK.

I AM VERY PROUD OF KAHEALANI FOR THE HARD WORK SHE HAS PUT INTO THIS AND I AM TRULY AMAZED HOW STRONG AND TOUGH SHE IS.  

KAHEALANI'S DREAM IS TO MEET "THE PRODIGY, BJ PENN" IN PERSON AND HOPEFULLY TRAIN WITH HIM IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
