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!!!"

SUMMER OF 2019 - SURPRISED KAHEALANI WITH ANOTHER "FATHER & DAUGHTER TRIP!!!"

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

IN THE SUMMER OF 2018, I SURPRISED KAHEALANI WITH OUR FIRST "FATHER & DAUGHTER TRIP", FLYING TO LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM.  WE HAD SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER AND ITS DIFFERENT NOW SINCE SHE'S NO LONGER THE BABY GIRL.

AND NOW IT'S SUMMER OF 2019 AND I SURPRISED KAHEALANI WITH ANOTHER "FATHER & DAUGHTER TRIP" TO LOS ANGELES TO GO SEE THE MUSICAL, "PHANTOM OF THE OPERA" AT THE PANTAGES THEATER.  MORE ON THAT LATER.

SO OUR TRIP BEGINS...

WE FLEW WITH MY MOM AND MY 2 NEPHEWS, XANDER & SKYLER TO ANCHORAGE.  THEY ARE GOING TO BIBLE CAMP IN STERLING, ALASKA.  KAHEALANI AND I HAVE A 10 HOUR LAYOVER AND MOM TOOK ALL OF US TO GO EAT BRUNCH AT "GWENNIE'S"


MY NEPHEWS, XANDER & SKYLER.



YOU DAMN RIGHT I ORDERED PANCAKES!!!
AFTER THAT MOM DROPPED ME AND KAHEALANI AT MY SISTER'S PLACE TO CHILL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY AND SHE AND MY NEPHEWS HEADED TO STERLING, ALASKA.  THANK YOU MOM!!!

AND WE'RE BACK AT THE AIRPORT HEADING OUT TO SEATTLE!!!

           

WE BOTH SLEPT THE ENTIRE FLIGHT AND AS SOON WE LANDED IN SEATTLE, KAHEALANI IS HUNGRY...  AGAIN!!!


GOTTA LOVE THE ISLAND GRINDS...  SPAM & PORTUGUESE SAUSAGE WITH EGGS & RICE!!!

AND BACK ON THE JET AGAIN...

GOTTA LOVE THE NON-REV LIFESTYLE!!!

CREEPY UGLY SELFIE SHOT!!!


     

AND WE ARE FINALLY HERE IN LOS ANGELES, WELL BURBANK TO MORE EXACT.  I CHOSE TO FLY TO BURBANK TO AVOID THE CRAZY TRAFFIC AT THE LAX AIRPORT.

WE GRABBED OUR RENTAL CAR AND GUESS WHAT???  SHE'S FRICKEN HUNGRY AGAIN!!!  I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS GIRL, SHE'S GOT A BOTTOMLESS PIT STOMACH!!!  AND SHE'S ON HER PHONE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO EAT.

KAHEALANI CHOSE IN-N-OUT BURGERS!!!
I'VE HEARD ABOUT THESE GUYS AND THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME BUT NOT FOR KAHEALANI, SHE SAID SHE ATE AT "IN-N-OUT" BEFORE.
LINK--->IN-N-OUT

WE HEADED OVER TO PASADENA AND CHECKED INTO OUR HOTEL AND THEN HEADED OVER TO WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA TO SURPRISE SOMEONE.

BUT I HAD TO MEET UP WITH A FRIEND AT THIS COOL PLACE, "ROCKY COLA CAFE"

AS SOON AS I WALKED INTO THIS PLACE, I THOUGHT I WAS AT "ARNOLD'S DRIVE IN" FROM THE OLD SERIES "HAPPY DAYS"...  IF YOU KNOW...  YOU KNOW!!!.
IT HAS THAT NOSTALGIC FEEL FROM THE 50'S WITH JUKEBOX AT YOUR TABLESIDE, MILKSHAKES, ETC.  SUPER RETRO!!!

I HAD TO ORDER A SUNDAE!!!

BELLA & CATHY!!!

SO THERE'S A LITTLE STORY BEHIND THIS SURPRISE VISIT.  BACK IN 2012 I POSTED AND BLOGGED KAHEALANI'S FIRST HULA DANCE IN BETHEL AT A WEDDING.  AFTER POSTING THE VIDEO.
LINK--->KAHEALANI'S FIRST SOLO HULA.

I RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM A LADY, ROSEMARY GREENMAN AND SHE SAID SHE LOVES KAHEALANI'S HULA DANCE AND ALSO SAW HER GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER, LEAH IN THE VIDEO TOO.  I LATER FOUND OUT THAT SHE IS THE GRANDMOTHER OF MY FRIEND MELISSA AND WE BECAME FRIENDS EVER SINCE.  SHE HAS BEEN ONE OF MY BIGGEST FOLLOWERS WHEN MY BLOG WAS STARTING UP BACK THEN.  WE ALWAYS KEPT IN TOUCH THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND ALWAYS INVITED ME AND KAHEALANI TO VISIT HER IF WE EVER VISIT LOS ANGELES, AND AFTER 7 YEARS, WE ARE GOING TO SURPRISE HER!!!  CATHY IS MELISSA'S SISTER AND SHE IS SETTING UP THE SURPRISE MEET.

AFTER OUR SUNDAE SESSION WE HEADED TO GRANDMA ROSEMARY'S HOUSE. AS SOON AS WE WALKED TO HER PORCH, SHE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE US AT FIRST AND SHE REALIZED IT WAS ME AND KAHEALANI AND THE REST OF AWESOME!!!  GRANDMA ROSEMARY'S HOME IS ALMOST A CLOSE REPLICA OF MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE IN HAWAI'I.  THE BRICK HOUSE WITH HUGE WOODEN BEAMS AND ALL THE PICTURES OF HER BEAUTIFUL FAMILY FROM 3-4 GENERATIONS.  



GRANDMA ROSEMARY HAD SOME STORIES TO SHARE, TALK ABOUT FAMILY COMEDY AND SUCH.  KAHEALANI & BELLA WERE DEFINITELY ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY.

KAHEALANI, GRANDMA ROSEMARY, BELLA, CATHY

I WAS SO HAPPY TO HAVE MET AND TALKED WITH GRANDMA ROSEMARY.  SHE IS AN AMAZING AND FUN LOVING WOMAN.  I AM BLESSED AND GRATEFUL TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS SPECIAL MOMENT.

GRANDMA ROSEMARY PASSED AWAY SEVERAL MONTHS AFTER OUR VISIT.

LIKE I SAID, WE'RE VERY GRATEFUL.
💓💓💓💓💓

WE LOVE AND MISS YOU GRANDMA ROSEMARY.

AN EMOTIONAL AND HAPPY DAY FOR US.
