WAIPA IN REAL LIFE: 2012-04-15

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!!!"

HANGING OUT WITH BRADDA WILTZ, "HAWAIIAN DAY" IN LAS VEGAS!!!

ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY TRIP... REUNITING WITH MY COUSINS, WILTZ & OLI FROM NANAKULI, HAWAI'I. THRY USE TO LIVE IN ANCHORAGE, ALASKA BEFORE MOVING TO LAS VEGAS. IT WAS GOOD HANGING OUT WITH THEM... EVEN THOUGH IF IT'S WAS ONLY FOR COUPLE HOURS. WE ALOS GOT TO AT "ISLAND STYLE", AN AWESOME PLACE FOR "KAU KAU" (EAT). THEY SERVED NOTHING BUT HAWAIIAN STYLE LOCAL GRINDZ. AS SOON AS I WALKED INSIDE... I FELT LIKE I WAS HOME. THE FOODS WAS TO KILL FOR.

IF ANY OF YOU NEVER WENT TO "ISLAND STYLE", HERE'S THE ADDRESS:

3909 W Sahara Ave
Ste 1
Las Vegas, NV 89102

GOOGLE MAP IT AND BE PREPARED FOR A MASSIVE EATING FEST!!!

AFTER THAT... THERE'S NO OTHER BEST WAY TO REST MY OVERSTUFFED BELLY FROM ALL THOSE DELICIOUS FOODS I JUST ATE... BUT TO LISTEN TO SOME KICK BACK ISLAND MUSIC JAMS PLAYED BY BRADDA WILTZ!!!

MAHALO AGAIN TO MY COUSINS, WILTZ & OLI FOR TAKING ME OUT AND ABOUT IN LAS VEGAS!!!

I'LL BE BACK VERY SOON!!!

CHECKING OUT THE "FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE" LOCATED IN DOWN TOWN LAS VEGAS!!!

WE HEADED TO "OLD LAS VEGAS" AKA "DOWN TOWN LAS VEGAS" AND CHECKED OUT THE NIGHTLY BLOCK PARTIES!!!

WHILE WE WERE THERE... WE ATE AT AN AWESOME STEAKHOUSE RESTAURANT CALLED "TOP OF BINION'S STEAKHOUSE WHICH IS LOCATED AT THE VERY TOP OF "BINION'S HOTEL & CASINO"

I THOUGHT I'VE BEEN TO SOME SERIOUS AND AWESOME STEAKHOUSE RESTAURANTS IN THE PAST... BUT I WAS WRONG ONCE I ATE AT THIS STEAKHOUSE!!!

THESE GUYS KNOW THERE STEAKS AND KNOWS HOW TO COOK IT ANYWAY YOU WANT IT. EVERYTHING IS "BROKE DA MOUT" ACTION!!!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO EAT IF YOU ARE EVER IN DOWN TOWN LAS VEGAS.

HERE'S THE WEBSITE ADDRESS FOR MORE INFO:

http://www.binions.com/dining/steak_house.php

ME AND GUYS ALSO GOT TO MEET KA'IWA'S COUSIN WHOM KA'IWA HAVEN'T SEEN IN NEARLY 20 YEARS OR SO... I THINK I GOT THAT RIGHT. AND NOTHING BEATS THE FEELING OF REUNITING WITH RELATIVES... ESPECIALLY IF IT'S BEEN THAT LONG OR SO.

AFTER DINNER... WE HEADED OUT TO THE "FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE" AND CHECKED OUT ALL THE FUN ACTIVITIES YOU COME ACROSS FROM ONE END TO ANOTHER!!! FROM MIMES, PAINT ARTISTS, CELEBRITIES LOOK-A-LIKES, ETC.

YOU NAME IT... THEY GOT IT!!!

AND TO TOP IT OFF, WE GOT TO SEE AND ENJOY "VIVA VISION", FREMONT'S "LIGHT & SOUND SHOW".

YOU GOT TO BE THERE TO GET THE REAL FEEL OF THIS AWESOME SHOW WHICH IS PLAYED ON EVERY HOUR ON THE CLOCK!!!

I DO ENCOURAGE ALL OF YOU TO AT LEAST SPEND A NIGHT AT THE "FREMONT STREET EXPERIENCE!!!"

INDOOR KART RACING AT THE LAS VEGAS "POLE POSITION RACEWAY".

ME AND THE GUYS WENT TO "POLE POSITION RACEWAY INDOOR KARTING" TO DO SOME RACING ON SOME GO KARTS!!!

AT FIRST... I THOUGHT TO MYSELF... THIS IS GONNA BE A PIECE OF CAKE AND I PRETTY MUCH GOT THIS DOWN.

MAN... LET ME TELL YOU... IT'S A TOTAL BODY WORKOUT SUCH AS SHIFTING YOUR BODY WEIGHT ON SHARP CORNER TURNS, KEEPING YOUR ARMS STRONG AND RIGID ON THE STEERING WHEEL, WORKING BOTH LEGS ON ON THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS ALL AT ONCE. THIS IS NO WALK IN THE PARK LIKE I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE!!!

THE INTENSITY AND ADRENALINE IS SO HIGH THAT YOU FORGET TO BREATH AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT... YOU'RE GASPING FOR AIR, YOUR HELMET VISOR BEGINS TO FOG UP IF YOU START SWEATING HARD LIKE I DO... LOL!!!

MAD PROPS TO ALL RACERS ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL. CAR RACING IS FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND THE FIT!!!

ON THE OTHER NOTE... WE HAD A BLAST AND ENJOYED OUR TIME.

ONCE AGAIN... CHECK OUT:
