For my family and friends who like KNOW:For 2009:I plan to continue to learn everything that I possibly can about land... even though some people wanna suck the life out of the land.I would like to pay for college tuition and law school tuition for some POOR oiwi... because I was so poor some people do not know how poor I was nor can they imagine how poor I was.I would like to overlook my distaste for what I perceive as SOME arrogance and do SOME good in the way of helping to pay tuition for a few POOR oiwi to attend UH-Manoa. Hopefully my kupuna will help me work on this one because arrogance repulses me so it is difficult for me to overlook arrogance. With their help I will try not to be so blunt and try not to let the little arrogance get in the way (LOL) I will TRY.... I will continue to bow down to my kupuna. It is EXTREMELY difficult to raise funds on my own... but as much as some people SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF THE LAND... land also gives LIFE. Need I say more???? LOL(In 2008 I was busy due to this. In 2009 it's gonna get worse LOL)Ironically I live along a lake albeit a man-made lake in a modest home that my husband and I bought for $123,700 :) I also work the Clearwater Beach area and will continue to do so. I will continue to go to Clearwater Beach often. Wanting to be close to the water. Always. For those of you who really like KNOW... I go to the beach when my head hurts with complex topics which... amazingly... I UNDERSTAND LMAO I will continue to be near WATER because water (like LAND) IS life too....I will also continue NOT to care that some people criticize MY LOOKS and/or MY BODY LMAOBefore I die I would like to donate to MY CAUSES... not after. I want to KNOW. I do not want to NOT know LOL....I was once consumed with getting out of poverty. Later I was consumed with being able to walk again (LOL) Then I was consumed with graduating from college. Lately I am consumed with donating to MY causes before I make. What are my causes??? LOL The language and the PEOPLE das what.I will also continue to use my "professional" picture. The one that I flipped 180 degrees to epitomize that the Hawaiian World is diametrically opposed to the Haole World... in that I think that the Haole World is more RUDE LOL I plan to keep that ka ona in there.Don't judge a book by its cover... because you may not know what lies beneath the superficial and/or may not see the core just because *you* don't want to see the core or because *you* fail to see the core...My niece Mehana o kala tells me that I sound like Yoda LOL....I will also continue to try to hanai/adopt as many oiwi kids as I possibly can... but that is not just my goal for 2009. It's my goal to infinity LOLAnyway hope my family and friends and EVERYONE who has the IWI has a wonderful 2009 and continues to SURVIVE.Love y'all!Latahs!
Your family is funny...May I ask where your mother lived in Ka'u? Do you still have relatives in Ka'u and what are their names? How did you like living with mom in Ka'u? I'm fortunate that my two daughters were raised during the summer time in the early 1990's with their ohana in Pahala . They got to taste the old style of living in Ka'u where nobody locks their doors. They would meet other children at Ka'u High School play grounds and then being invited over to eat food ...I would call them from Honolulu and they would tell me about their day and that their new friend is sleeping over grandmas house and that they want to go to uncle Al's house and camp in the back yard with all the animals, dogs,cats,goat,duck, & fighting chicken.
What a life yeah? I'm glad they got to experience the life in Ka'u. Now , it is different there.
Aloha
Bobby
