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!!!"

ALOHA A HUI HOU, OHANA!!!



AS THE WEEK COMES TO AN END, I WAS A BIT SAD TO SEE MY RELATIVES DEPART BETHEL, ALASKA AS THEY EMBARK TOWARDS ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN ALASKA THROUGH AN "RV TOURING" FROM ANCHORAGE TO HOMER AND VALDEZ.  ALL OF YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS FOR A SAFE TRIP ALL AROUND AND BACK HOME TO HAWAI'I NEI.

"MAHALO" & "ALOHA" TO ALL OF YOU WHO MADE THE TRIP TO BETHEL, ALASKA A MEMORABLE ONE.  PLEASE COME VISIT AS OFTEN AS YOU WANT AS I PLAN TO DO THE SAME WHEN I EVENTUALLY MOVE DOWN TO HAWAI'I SOON.

LOVE ALWAYS,

WAIPA & OHANA

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!




ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

WE WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL OF YOU A HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!!!

KAHEALANI WAS ABLE TO PARTICIPATE AND RIDE WITH ONE OF THE FIRE TRUCKS DURING THE ANNUAL 4TH OF JULY PARADE WITH THE BETHEL FIRE DEPARTMENT OF BETHEL, ALASKA.  KAHEALANI WAS NOTHING SHORT FROM BEING EXCITED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE RIDE THROUGH PARADE, SHE WAS PASSING OUT CANDIES AND TOYS TO ALL THE SPECTATORS, SHE WAS BLOWING THE FIRE TRUCK HORNS AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, KAHEALANI WAS ABLE TO PICK OF THE FIRETRUCK MICROPHONE AND SAY, "HAPPY 4TH OF JULY EVERYBODY" AS MUCH AS SHE WANTED TO SO EVERYONE COULD HEAR HER.

"THANK YOU" BETHEL, ALASKA FIRE DEPARTMENT AND VOLUNTEERS, ESPECIALLY FRED WATSON & KA'IWA FREITAS FOR MAKING ALL OF THIS POSSIBLE FOR KAHEALANI.

I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH THIS DAY AS NOTHING CAN BEAT THE AWESOME FEELINGS OF WATCHING MY DAUGHTER PARTICIPATE IN AN ONE OF KIND EVENT.
