WAIPA IN REAL LIFE: STARTING THE SUMMER OFF THE RIGHT WAY WITH KAHEALANI AND FRIENDS IN BETHEL, ALASKA!!!

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!!!

STARTING THE SUMMER OFF THE RIGHT WAY WITH KAHEALANI AND FRIENDS IN BETHEL, ALASKA!!!

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

FIRST OFF, I JUST HAD TO POST A PIC OF MY BEAUTIFUL NIECE, ARYA.

SINCE MY LAST BLOG ON MY SEWARD, ALASKA TRIP... I GOT BUST AS SOON AS I RETURNED BACK TO BETHEL, ALASKA. WORK, WORK, WORK BUT I'M SO GRATEFUL TO NOW HAVE KAHEALANI FOR THE SUMMER ALONG WITH MY NEPHEWS, XANDER AND SKYLER.

WE WATCHED THE MOVIE, RAMPAGE STARRING, THE ROCK.

I ENJOYED THE FILM VERY MUCH.

I'M BACK IN THE ARENA!!!

I'M DEFINITELY SEEING AND FEELING THE RESULTS OVERALL, BUT IT ALSO COMES WITH BODY ACHES AND PAINS... LOL!!! ITS PART OF TRAINING AS YOU GET OLDER EVERYDAY ONCE YOU HIT YOUR 40'S!!!

AND I ALWAYS TAKE MY VITAMINS AND CREATINE ALONG WITH OTHER NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS TO MAKE SURE I'M GETTING MY DAILY NEEDS AND INTAKES.

AND OF COURSE, I'M STILL MEAL PREPPING... POOR KAHEALANI, SHE'S NOT A BIG FAN OF TOFU AND CHICKEN LIKE BEFORE WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE... LOL!!! LUCKY WE WENT TO COSTCO, I LET HER LOAD UP THE CARTS AND I AIN'T HAVING ANY OF IT.

AND NOW ITS TIME FOR OUR FIRST SUMMER BBQ WITH MY CREW!!!

LIQUID ALOHA AND GOODIES HAS ARRIVED!!!

RIBEYES... ITS WHATS FOR DINNER, MAHALO BRADDA MIKE!!!

AND THE FUN BEGINS...

WELL LOOK WHO FINALLY DECIDED TO SHOW UP, "A'ALONA", AARON!!!

WHO THE HELL IS THIS UGLY GUY???

BRANDON & BRANDON

MY GOOD AND DEAR FRIEND, COLE.

ETHAN!!!

MY AWESOME CUSTOM BURN BARREL STILL GOING STRONG... LOL!!!

BRAH... WE STAYED UP LATE UNTIL THE 5AM THE NEXT MORNING, WE NEVER WASTE A DULL MOMENT WHENEVER I HOST A PARTY/BBQ!!!

MAHALO ALASKA AIRLINES RSA CREW, YOU ALL ROCK!!!

ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL DAY AT ALASKA AIRLINES AIRPORT, SIMPLY WAITING FOR THE JET TO ARRIVE.

THE SUMMER DAYS ARE REALLY STARTING TO SHOW UP NICELY, AFTER I GET OFF WORK FROM ALASKA AIRLINES, I HEAD HOME AND PICK UP KAHEALANI AND HER FRIEND LEAH AND TAKE THEM OUT FOR A LITTLE BIT BEFORE I HEAD OVER TO MY OTHER JOB.

I BOUGHT THEY GIRLS ICE CREAM AND THEN WE HEADED OVER A NEARBY BEACH AT THE RIVER AND I LET THEM ENJOY THEMSELVES.

WATCHING THEM IS SO PRICELESS AND ITS ALWAYS A BEAUTIFUL FEELING TO SIMPLY WITNESS THEM BEING IN THE MOMENT. THE EVENING WAS PERFECT!!!

I TOOK THIS PIC AT MY OTHER JOB, I LIKE THE CLOUD SLOWLY CASTING OVER.

THE NEXT DAY KAHEALANI AND I GOT TO VISIT OUR GOOD FRIENDS, ISAIAH AND SARAH FROM ARIZONA!!! WE FINALLY GOT MEET THEIR SON, BENJAMIN AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY.

AFTER THAT WE HEADED TO GO SEE ANOTHER MOVIE, THE AVENGERS - INFINITY WARS - PART ONE.

WE ALMOST HAD THE ENTIRE THEATER TO OURSELVES!!!

JUST FOR YOU, ANABEL... MUAH!!! SUPPORT AND BUY LOCAL FROM TACO-LOCO, MADE ONLY IN ALASKA!!!

THE SUN CONTINUES TO SHINE BRIGHT AND WARM OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS... ANOTHER BBQ!!!

THIS TIME I WANTED TO KEEP IT SIMPLE AND FAMILY. IT WAS KIDS FRIENDLY WITH BURGERS, BRATWURSTS, BAKED POTATOES CASSEROLE, STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB COBBLER, PINEAPPLE ICED-TEA, AND FUN FUN FUN!!!

THE KIDS ENJOYED PLAYING THE DIRT WHILE THE REST OF US ENJOYED TALKING STORIES TO THE LATE HOURS!!!

THANK YOU MOM, JIMMY, THE FERGUSON OHANA, CHRISTIANA, MICHELLE, MICKELLE, HEATHER, KAHEALANI, LEAH, XANDER, AND SKYLER FOR COMING!!! IT WAS GOOD SEEING ALL OF YOU.

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT BBQ EVENT!!!

THE DAY AFTER I WAS ALONE BECAUSE KAHEALANI SPENT THE NIGHT OUT AT HER FRIEND'S PLACE AND I FELT LIKE WATCHING, "DAN IN REAL LIFE". I CAN NEVER EVER GET TIRED OF THIS WONDERFUL FILM. I ALWAYS LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERY TIME I WATCH IT AND I CRY, OKAY I ADMITTED TO THAT.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FILM, JUST GO WATCH IT!!! BRING TISSUES, LOL!!!

LATER ON THAT EVENING, I PICKED UP KAHEALANI AND WE DID A LATE NIGHT MOVIE DATE... LOL!!!

WE WATCHED "DEATH NOTE COLLECTION"

MORE THAN ANYTHING, I ENJOYED JUST SIMPLY BEING WITH MY KAHEALANI.

THE NEXT DAY, THE WEATHER CONTINUES TO BE BEAUTIFUL SO I DECIDED TO TAKE KAHEALANI OUT FOR A SURPRISE!!!

I TOOK HER ON A SHOOTING DATE, I TAUGHT HER GUN SAFETY AND THE BASICS ON HOW TO HOLD AND FIRE A PISTOL. SHE WAS NERVOUS AT FIRST AS THIS WAS HER FIRST TIME EVER SHOOTING A GUN. I KNOW A 380 OR 9MM WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE APPROPRIATE FOR FIRST TIMERS BUT UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T OWN ANY EXCEPT FOR 40 CALIBERS.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT...

I WAS SUPER IMPRESSED WITH HER. SHE FOLLOWED AND DID EVERYTHING THAT I EXPLAINED AND SHOWED HER EARLIER. SHE DID AMAZING AND FIRED 2-13 ROUNDS MAGAZINES. HER GRIP, HER STANCE AND HER AIM WAS PRETTY DAMN AMAZING, ESPECIALLY FOR A FIRST TIMER!!!
