WAIPA IN REAL LIFE: 2014-03-02

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!!!"

MY "AWWWESOME" TRIP TO KWETHLUK, ALASKA - 2014!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I WENT TO KWETHLUK, ALASKA TO GO WATCH "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!" GIRLS BASKETBALL PLAY!!!

I GOT TO RIDE WITH LUCILLE AND HER OHANA GOING ON THE FROZEN KUSKOKWIM RIVER!!!

WHEN WE GOT TO KWETHLUK, IT WAS BEAUTIFUL AND NOSTALGIC AS I LAST REMEMBERED IN 1998!!! THE SIMPLE AND RURAL FEEL TO IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I WAS KID ALL OVER AGAIN... EVEN THOUGH I WASN'T BORN AND RAISED IN ALASKA, IT JUST FEEL REAL GOOD TO VISIT KWETHLUK ALL OVER AGAIN.

I ALSO GOT TO VISIT LUCILLE'S OHANA WHICH WAS THE BEST PART OF THE TRIP!!!

WHILE WATCHING THE FAMILY JUST BEING WITH EACH OTHER ONLY MADE ME REALLY HOMESICK FOR MY FAMILY BACK HOME IN HAWAI'I. IT BROUGHT BACK SO MUCH GOOD MEMORIES!!! I SAW THE "LOYALTY" AND "LOVE" IN LUCILLE THAT SHE HAS FOR HER FAMILY... BUYING GROCERIES AND NEW DISHES FOR HER FOLKS... A SIMPLE EXPRESSION OF WHAT I'D CALL IT... "ALOHA"... YES EVEN IN KWETHLUK, ALASKA... I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT I FELT THE "ALOHA" IN THAT MOMENT AND THAT PLACE.

AND I WAS VERY HONORED TO BE PART OF IT!!!

RIGHT AFTER OUR SHORT VISIT... IT WAS TIME TO HEAD ON TO THE BASKETBALL GAMES!!!

THEY LOVE THEIR UNIFORMS... LOL!!!

I GOTTA SAY... IT DOES LOOK COOL TOO!!!

IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THEM PLAY... THEY PLAYED SCRIMMAGE BECAUSE THE OTHER TEAM FORFEITED FOR UNKNOWN REASONS BUT AT "TEAM AWWWRITE!!!" GOT TO PLAY SOME BALL!!!

AFTER THAT IT WAS BACK TO BETHEL, ALASKA!!!

ONCE AGAIN... MAHALO NUI LOA LUCILLE FOR HAVING ME OVER AND BRINGING ME BACK TO BETHEL SAFELY!!!

AWWWRITE!!!
