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!!!"

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHINESE SINGER, TERESA TENG.



MY 1ST TRIP TO CHINA WAS IN 1995.  I WENT TO GUANGZHOU AND STAYED AT AND AN OLD VILLAGE WAY OUT OF THE CITY LIMITS.  OUT THERE IS WHERE I SAW JUST ONE OF THE TRUE BEAUTY OF CHINA.  AWAY FROM THE CITY WHERE IT IS PEACEFUL AND POPULATED BY HARD WORKING FARMER CLASS PEOPLE.  I STAYED THERE FOR 5 WEEKS WITH A FRIEND AND HELPED THESE PEOPLE WITH EVERYDAY FARM WORK.  I'LL SAY THAT IT IS VERY HARD WORK BUT AT THE SAME TIME I FELT AT PEACE AND VERY TOUCHED BY THESE PEOPLE AS I MYSELF, AM A 4TH GENERATION CHINESE AND HAD NO CLUE WHAT I WAS IN FOR. 

EVERYDAY AFTER A HARD DAY'S WORK I WOULD GO DOWN TO A NEARBY BAR TO RELAX AND HAVE A FEW DRINKS AND ENJOY THE REST OF THE EVENING.  AT THIS VERY NIGHT CLUB, THEY ALWAYS HAVE A LIVE SINGER AND SANG CHINESE MUSIC OF OLD AND NEW.  IT'S WHEN SHE SANG THIS VERY SONG FROM THE VIDEO I UPLOADED, I WAS IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG, IMMEDIATELY I HAD TO ASK THE SINGER, WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL SINGER AND WHERE CAN I BUY THE MUSIC.

FROM THAT DAY ON, I NEVER FORGOT THIS SONG:

THE MOON REPRESENTS MY HEART

GOOD OLE MEMORIES - KAIPO HITTING THE MITS WITH MATI.



ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

EVERY NOW AND THEN I WILL OCCASSIONALLY UPLOAD AN OLD BUT CLASSIC VIDEO OF SOMETHING FROM MY PAST FOR "MEMORIES AND LAUGHTERS".  I FEEL THAT IT ALWAYS BRINGS GOOD HEALTH TO PEOPLE WHEN WE BRING UP OLD BUT GOOD FORGOTTENED MEMORIES.
