WAIPA IN REAL LIFE: PAYING OUR RESPECTS TO OUR OHANA AND MORE.

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!!!"

AWWWRITE!!!

PAYING OUR RESPECTS TO OUR OHANA AND MORE.

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

KAHEALANI & I STARTED OUR DAY BY PAYING OUR RESPECTS TO OUR OHANA WHO PASSED. BEFORE WE WENT UP TO RESTING SITES... WE STOPPED AT THE HILO FARMERS MARKET TO GET SOME FOODS AND FLOWERS TO PLACE ON THE GRAVES.

I SPENT NO MORE THAN $50.00 AND THAT IS INCLUDING 5 FLOWERS ARRANGEMENTS TOO!!!

YOU JUST CANNOT BEAT THE FRESH PRODUCE AND FLOWERS!!!

AND NOW WE ARE ON OUR WAY TO VISIT THE GRAVESITES.

I MISS AND LOVE YOU FOLKS SO MUCH. I LIVE OFF THE WONDERFUL MEMORIES THAT I NOW HAVE IN MY HEART AND WILL CARRY IT ON FOREVER AND PASS DOWN THE MEMORIES TO KAHEALANI THROUGH STORYTELLING AS SHE GETS OLDER. I'LL VISIT AGAIN SOON

ALOHA A HUI HOU!!!

AFTER THAT I WENT TO GET A HAIRCUT.

LOL... THEY ARE LOST!!!

AFTER A GOOD HALF HOUR... THEY FINALLY MADE!!!

1ST PLACE WAS MAKAPI, 2ND PLACE WAS JAYDES, AND 3RD PLACE WAS KAHEALANI.

NOW THEY ALL WON SOMETHING FROM ME!!!

NEXT WE WENT TO THE RIVER WALK.

THE RIVER WALK WAS VERY BEAUTIFUL AND COOL ENOUGH FOR ME AS I WAS ALREADY WORKING UP A SWEAT... LOL!!!

AFTER THAT WE WENT UP TO SEE "KAMAEE FALLS".

BEAUTIFUL 100 FEET DROP... ANYBODY WANNA TRY JUMPING OFF???

AND THAT CONCLUDED OUR FUN TRIP WITH THE KIDS AND MY TITA, LEOLANI (WHO HAPPENS TO BE CAMERA SHY... LOL!!!)

IT WAS TIME TO FEED THE KIDS AND I WAS THINKING MCDONALDS BUT NOOO... THEY WANTED TO EAT BREAKFAST FOODS IN THE AFTERNOON INSTEAD... SO WHERE DID WE GO???

KEN'S HOUSE OF PANCAKES WHERE THEY SERVE 24 HOURS BREAKFAST!!!

BELIEVE IT OR NOT... THE TWO PICS ABOVE IS KAHEALANI'S... SERIOUSLY I AM NOT KIDDING... THIS GIRL CAN PACK SOME FOODS IN HER SKINNY BODY... IT DRIVES ME CRAZY... I WISH I COULD PIG OUT AND BURN IT OFF!!!

THIS IS MY TITA'S LUNCH... SHE'S THE HEALTHY AND IN SUPER SHAPE FOR ANYTHING THAT COMES IN HER WAY... THANK GOD SHE'S TRAINING KAHEALANI FOR THE NEXT MARATHON RACE IN AUGUST!!!

AFTER THE BIG BREAKFAST... IT DIDN'T STOP RIGHT THERE... NOOO... THEY HAD TO HAVE DESSERT AND GO EAT ICE-CREAM... SO AWAY WENT TO GET THEM DESSERTS AT HILO TROPICAL GARDEN DOWN THE ROAD FROM OUR HOME.
