MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!

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!!!"

SWAMP TOUR FUN IN SOUTHERN LOUISIANNA!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

WHEN WHERE AT TRACEY'S IRISH PUB, BARTENDER SAM HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT WE SHOULD GO TAKE A SWAMP YOUR AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE DID!!!

WE WERE TOLD TO GO TO CAJUN ENCOUNTERS FOR THE SWAMP TOUR.

IT'S A GOOD 45 MILES AWAY FROM OUR STAY AND WE KNEW WE WERE IN FOR A NICE DRIVE IN THE EARLY MORNING!!!

AND WE HAVE ARRIVED!!!


VICKIE WANTS HER ALLIGATOR FIX...  LOL!!!















WHAT AN AWESOME TOUR, WE LEARNED SO MUCH ABOUT HOW THE SWAMP'S ECO SYSTEM CONTRIBUTES TO THE WILD LIFE.  WE SAW ALLIGATORS, WILD BOARS, RACCOONS, TURTLES, AND SEVERAL BIRDS.  I LEARNED ABOUT THE CYPRESS TREES AND THE TUPULO HONEY HARVESTED BY THE BEES OFF OF THE TUPULO GUM TREES, THE ONLY HONEY THAT NEVER CRYSTALLIZES!!!

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL HOT MORNING WITH A NICE BREEZE TO KEEP US COOL.  WE VENTURED DEEP SOUTH AND PASSED BY SEVERAL BAYOU HOMES RIGHT OFF THE OLD PEARL RIVER WHICH IS ALSO LEADS TO THE BORDER OF MISSISSIPPI.

AFTER OUT WONDERFUL TOUR, WE HEADED TO EAT LUNCH AT THE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SOUTHSIDE CAFE.




VICKIE GETTING HER BLOODY MARY FIX!!!

MAN THIS PLACE SERVED SOME SERIOUS FOODS AND IN HUGE PORTIONS TOO!!!  JUST GO AND EAT HERE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!!!

AFTER THAT WE TOOK A DIFFERENT ROUTE BACK TO OUR PLACE GOING ON HIGHWAY 90, MAN IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DRIVE!!!  WE PASSED BY ALOT OF BEACH HOUSES AND SAW ALOT OF SHRIMP BOATS LIKE THE ONES ON "FORREST GUMP" MOVIE.

LET THE VIDEO BELOW DO ITS JUSTICE!!!


WE ALSO HAD TO MAKE A STOP AT...

DONG PHUONG ORIENTAL BAKERY

I ATE HERE THE YEAR BEFORE AND LOVED THE BAKERY SIDE OF THIS AMAZING VIETNAMESE RESTAURANT, ANOTHER RECOMMENDED PLACE TO EAT AT TOO!!!

I PICKED UP SOME GOODIES TO BRING BACK TO ALASKA!!!
