ALOHA EVERYONE!!!
ITS GOOD TO BE BACK BLOGGING WITH A RENEWED VISION AND MOTTO. MY BLOG IS ALMOST 10 YEARS OLD AND IT WAS LIKE A PERSONAL DIARY OF MY LIFE AND IT PRETTY COVERED EVERYTHING THAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH... HAPPINESS, SADNESS, FRUSTRATIONS, HEARTACHES, GRIEVING, GAINS, LOSSES, AND SO ON.
NOW I WILL SLOWLY MAKE CHANGES AND IN DUE TIME, YOU WILL SEE THE TRANSFORMATION AND THE EXCITEMENT THAT FOLLOWS.
SO THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND SUPPORT!!!
IN MARCH, KAHEALANI WENT TO JAPAN FOR HER 15TH BIRTHDAY WITH HER MOM AND HER AUNT. KAHEALANI DESCRIBED TO ME THAT JAPAN WAS VERY CROWDED AND YET BEAUTIFUL, HER FAVORITE WAS THE CHERRY BLOSSOM FESTIVAL AND THE CITY AT NIGHT. I WISH I COULD SAY MORE BUT THAT'S PRETTY MUCH WHAT KAHEALANI HAS SHARED WITH ME.
I DEFINITELY WANT TO GO BACK TO JAPAN TOO, BUT I WANT TO GO TO AKITA AND HOKAIDO, ITS MORE COUNTRY AND HAS THAT FEUDAL JAPAN FEEL BEING AWAY FROM THE CITY AND HIGH TECHNOLOGIES ERA.
I ALSO WANT TO TAKE A BLACKSMITH CLASS MAKING SAMURAI SWORDS, THAT WOULD BE AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE. TAKESHI, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, EMAIL ME AND LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!
MEANWHILE BACK IN BETHEL, ALASKA AT ALASKA AIRLINES, SPRING HAS FINALLY ARRIVED AND WE GOT TO ENJOY SEVERAL DAYS OF BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE AND BLUE SKIES. WINTER APPEARED TO BE OVER BUT APPARENTLY NOT, WE STILL HAVE CLOUDY DAYS WITH OCCASIONAL LIGHT SNOW FLURRIES AND THE TEMPERATURE IS STILL CHILLY WITH THE STRONG WINDS. BUT HEY, SUMMER IS COMING SOON AND THAT SHOULD ALL CHANGE SOON.
AND NOW I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE NEWEST MEMBER TO OUR CRAZY OHANA...
"ARYA PETERS" OR "ARYA PETE" OR MAYBE I GOT IT ALL WRONG, OH WELL... SHE'S MY NIECE REGARDLESS. SHE IS ADORABLE AND IT BROUGHT ME BACK TO 2003 WHEN KAHEALANI WAS BORN AROUND THE SAME TIME OF THE YEAR.
CONGRATULATIONS TO CHRISTIANA AND MAURICE.
ARYA AND HER BEAUTIFUL MOMMY.
SO WHATS BEEN GOING ON WITH ME??? EVERYONE'S BEEN WONDERING WHERE THE HECK HAVE I BEEN. I'LL SQUASH EVERY CRAZY RUMORS THAT MAY HAVE COME ACROSS YOUR MINDS.
I DID NOT GET KIDNAPPED AND OBVIOUSLY I DIDN'T DIE. AND I'M NOT DYING EITHER.
SO WHAT HAVE I BEEN UP TOO???
PRETTY MUCH NOT A WHOLE LOT... JUST KIDDING.
6 WEEKS AGO I STARTED TO TAKE CHARGE OF MY LIFE AND MADE SOME HUGE CHANGES, ONE OF THEM IS CREATING A WHOLE NEW CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHO SHARES THE SAME VISION AND GOALS LIKE MINES.
LIVING A HEALTHY AND FIT LIFESTYLE AND TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD.
NOW I KNOW WHAT MOST OF YOU ARE PROBABLY SAYING TO YOURSELVES, "UH... DIDN'T HE DO THAT BEFORE???"
YES YOU ARE CORRECT BUT I SLACKED OFF FOR THE LAST 2-3 YEARS NEARLY GAINING ALL MY WEIGHT BACK, EATING CRAPPY FOODS, DRINKING TOO MUCH ALCOHOL, PARTYING UP EVERY WEEKEND, ETC.
I HIT A DEPRESSION, MY DIVORCE, KAHEALANI BEING AWAY FROM ME FOR SO LONG AND HITTING HER TEENS, WORKING 2 JOBS, LACK OF SLEEP, HEARTACHES & HEARTBREAKS, KNEES SURGERIES, SCIATIC AND PIRAFORMIS ISSUES, LOSS OF FRIENDSHIPS AND FAMILIES THROUGH BETRAYALS, DISHONESTY, & LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS.
OH ITS TRUE AND IT IS NOT A GREAT FEELING, I'VE BEEN THROUGH SOME DEEP TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS.
BUT I THANK GOD FOR NEVER EVER GIVING UP ON ME AND HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME, EVEN THOUGH I FEEL I DON'T DESERVE IT SINCE I HAD BACKSLIDED FOR YEARS.
SO BACK TO WHAT I WAS SAYING, I HAD THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISON ON WHO I'M GOING TO KEEP AND GET RID OF IN MY NEW CIRCLE OF FRIENDS. BELIEVE ME, IT WASN'T EASY, I WAS HAUNTED BY MEMORIES OF THE PAST OF HAPPY TIMES WITH SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO I NOW NO LONGER SOCIAL WITH. WE JUST ALL OF A SUDDEN WENT ON TO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. THAT IS LIFE.
SO I DID WHAT I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE... I PUT MYSELF FIRST BEFORE ANYONE AND EVERYTHING. AND THIS WAS IN NO WAY EASY AT ALL FOR ME BECAUSE FOR MOST OF MY LIFE, I HAVE ALWAYS DONE MORE FOR OTHERS THAN I WOULD DO FOR MYSELF.
SO MY NEW JOURNEY BEGINS ON MY NEW OUTLOOK IN LIFE.
SO I NOW INVITE ALL OF YOU TO WITNESS MY NEW JOURNEY IN LIFE.
BE READY BECAUSE ITS GOING TO MOVE FAST AND YOU JUST MIGHT MISS THE JOURNEY!!!
TO BE CONTINUED...
LIVE PONO & ALOHA!!!
AWWWRITE!!!
