SUMMER IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

AS MOST OF YOU KNOW MY HOME, HAWAI'I HAS BEEN IN THE MEDIA FOR SOME TIME ABOUT THE ONGOING VOLCANO ERUPTIONS.

MY FAMILIES ARE OKAY AND FAR AWAY FROM THE AREAS WHERE ALL THE LAVA FLOW IS AFFECTING. 

THIS IS AN AMAZING EVENT SINCE 1955 WHERE KILAUEA WAS STRONG AND IN 1984 WHERE MAUNA LOA WERE ACTIVE!!!

EVENTUALLY IT WILL HIT THE OCEAN AND SO FAR IT HAS 18 FISSURES AND CLAIMED OVER 3 DOZENS STRUCTURES AS OF NOW. 



CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR EVERYONE THAT ARE AFFECTED.

SO WHATS BEEN NEW WITH ME, YOU ASKED???

WELL LETS BACK TRACK A FEW WEEKS AS WINTER IS OFFICIALLY OVER, THE KUSKOKWIM RIVER IS NOW BROKE AND FREE AND THE EVERYONE IS WAITING TO GO FISHING.

AS FOR ME...  I FLEW INTO ANCHORAGE TO GO WATCH A MUSICAL PLAY, "CABARET".

Welcome to the infamous Kit Kat Klub, where the Emcee, Sally Bowles and a raucous ensemble take the stage nightly to tantalize the crowd – and to leave their troubles outside. But as life in pre-WWII Germany grows more and more uncertain, will the decadent allure of Berlin nightlife be enough to get them through the dangerous times? more..

Cabaret is the Tony Award-winning musical about following your heart while the world loses its way. The score, by John Kander (music) and Fred Ebb (lyrics), remains as vibrant and relevant as when Cabaret made its Broadway debut 50 years ago.

Come hear some of the most memorable songs in theatre history, including “Cabaret,” “Willkommen,” and “Maybe This Time.” Right this way, your table’s waiting at the musical the New York Post calls “one for the ages.”

I ENJOYED THIS MUSICAL VERY MUCH AND THE SINGING AND DANCING WAS ON POINT AND IT BROUGHT THE NOSTALGIC FEELING OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE IN OLD GERMANY RIGHT BEFORE WW2.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT IF IT EVER PLAYS IN YOUR NEARBY CITY.

AFTER THE SHOW A FRIEND AND I HEADED OVER TO BERNIE'S BUNGALOW LOUNGE FOR SOME FOODS AND DRINKS.  IT WAS STILL CHILLY OUTSIDE BUT I DEFINITELY ENJOYED MY 2 SLICES OF PIZZAS AND WATER.  AND THAT PRETTY SUMS OF THE EVENING AND THE NEXT MORNING I HEADED BACK TO BETHEL, ALASKA.

SITTING NEXT TO YOUR ALASKA AIRLINES LEADER/SUPERVISOR AND TAKING A SELFIE WITH HIM AND HE DOESN'T HAVE A CLUE...  PRICELESS!!!  I ONLY WISHED I RECORDED HIM SINGING WITH HIS HEADPHONES ON, IT WAS FUNNY AS SHIT!!!

AND I ALWAYS GET MY GREEN TEA FRAP, ITS MY NEW FAVORITE DRINK WHENEVER I GO TO STARBUCKS.

ON ANOTHER WEEKEND TRIP, I HEADED BACK TO ANCHORAGE TO DO SOME SHOPPING AND HANG OUT WITH FRIENDS.

FIRST THING I DID WAS PICK UP FLOWERS FOR MOTHER'S DAY.  I MADE ARRANGEMENTS THROUGH A FRIEND OF MINES WHO OWNS FLOWERS BY MARIE.  SHE IS VERY REASONABLE, FRIENDLY, AND TAKES GREAT CARE AND PRIDE IN HER FLOWERS.  I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER IF YOU EVER NEED FLOWERS.  SHE DOES ALL TYPES OF OCCASIONS AND SHE DELIVERS AND ALSO DELIVERS TO AIRPORT FOR ALL ALASKA BUSH ORDERS

.

MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND MARIE, THE OWNER OF "FLOWERS BY MARIE"

SHE DEFINITELY GAVE ME A WONDERFUL SELECTIONS OF ASSORTED FLOWERS INCLUDING A DOZEN YELLOW ROSES.  SHE PACKED THEM VERY WELL AND HAD THEM READY FOR ME TO TAKE BACK HOME FOR MOM.

THESE LOVELIES ARE THE BEST AND THEY TRULY BRING THE FUN AND EXCITEMENT OUT OF ME, FOR I AM VERY FORTUNATE TO BE PART OF THEIR CRAZIES!!!  I'LL BE BACK SOON LADIES!!!

MY CHEAT MEAL BEFORE HEADING BACK TO BETHEL.  ITS FILIPINO FOOD FOR ME, DINAGUAN AND PORK ADOBO...  SUPER HIGH IN EVERYTHING I DON'T NEED IN MY BODY AND THANK GOD IT WAS A CHEAT MEAL.

AND HERE I AM CHILLING WITH MY FRAP WAITING TO CHECK IN.

I FELT LIKE BEING CREATIVE AND THOUGHT THIS WOULD BEING SMILES TO THE ALASKA AIRLINES CSA AND RSA CREW.

LANDED SAFELY AND BACK IN BETHEL!!!

AS SOON AS I ARRIVED BACK TO BETHEL, I GRABBED MY FLOWERS AND HEADED OVER TO MY MOM'S AND SHE WAS SLEEPING WHICH WAS PERFECT AND I ARRANGED HER FLOWERS SO SHE CAN WAKE UP TO THIS...

THE NEXT DAY I WENT BACK TO MOM'S FOR LUNCH AND ENJOYED MY VISIT WITH MOM, MAURICE, CHRISTIANA, AND ARYA.

MY FAVORITE SEASONING.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM & CHRISTIANA!!!

I ALSO WANT TO GIVE A HUGE SHOUT OUT TO MY 2 NEPHEWS WHO GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL.

KEKOA AND KAWIKA...  CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS, I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU BOTH, NOW THE WORLD IS YOURS TO EXPLORE!!!

I'M STILL STAYING ON TOP OF MY TRAINING, MY KNEE IS STILL HEALING AND I CONTINUE TO USE THE STATIONARY BIKE AND I'M STILL HITTING THE ARENA MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.

I ALWAYS HAVE IT, "MY WHEY!!!"

MAKING GAINS!!!

MY NEW FAVORITE PRE-WORKOUT SHAKE, MANGO AND FIBER MIXED IN WATER.

I LOVE MY NEW GARMIN WATCH!!!

MY OWN GREEN TEA MIXED WITH ALMOND MILK.

MY MAIN MAN AND BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER, NICK FROM NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA IS FOLLOWING THE SAME STRENGTH TRAINING PROGRAM THAT I'M USING.  WE BOTH MET LAST YEAR IN NOLA AND WE BECAME FRIENDS EVER SINCE.  THIS GUY IS MAKING A GREAT PROGRESS AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM IN OCTOBER OF THIS YEAR!!!

AND I STILL MAKE MY BED AS SOON AS I WAKE UP.

AND HERE'S WHY...

COMING HOME TO SEE THIS AFTER WORKING BOTH JOBS IS SO REWARDING BECAUSE I DID THIS AND I CREATED MY RESTING PLACE FOR THE DAY AND/OR NIGHT AND IT IS MINES TO CLAIM AND I SLEEP IN PEACE AND WHEN I WAKE UP, I REPEAT THE PROCESS AND I HAVE BEEN DOING SO FOR THE LAST 6 WEEKS. 

I WILL TELL YOU ONE THING, SINCE I STARTED DOING THIS, MY LIFE HAS BEEN DIFFERENT AND MORE POSITIVE THAN EVER, I AM STRONGER IN CONFIDENCE, STRONGER IN BEING A RESPONSIBLE ADULT AND FATHER, STRONGER IN PATIENCE AND ACCEPTANCE, STRONGER IN MY DAILY TASKS, STRONGER IN MAINTAINING MY COMMITMENTS, STRONGER IN EVERYTHING I DO FROM MY WORKOUTS TO MY CLEAN EATING MAINTENANCE, STRONGER IN KEEPING MY TRUE FRIENDS CLOSE AND GETTING RID OF MY UNTRUE FRIENDS AKA TOXIC & JEALOUSY PEOPLE.  I WILL ONLY DO WHAT IS BEST FOR ME AND MY KAHEALANI BECAUSE WE DESERVE THE BEST THAT LIFE HAS TO OFFER.

SHE IS MY ROCK AND MOTIVATION TO KEEP LIVING STRONG!!!

THIS IS 100% TRUTH ABOUT ME...  MAKE ME PANCAKES AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!

NOW THIS HEAR IS A SWEET YAM PANCAKES COVERED IN YAM SAUCE AND TOPPED WITH COCONUT SHAVINGS...  FML!!!  IF ANYONE EVER MAKES ME THIS, I CAN'T PROMISE I'LL BE GENTLE IN BED IF IT LEADS TO THAT...  LOL!!!

YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!

AND I AM STILL YOUR FRIENDLY HAWAIIAN RAMP SERVICE AGENT FROM ALASKA AIRLINES!!!



AND THAT PRETTY MUCH SUMS OF MY CURRENT AND GENUINE LIFE!!!
