BamBam and Pebbles

For my family and friends:
Since some of my family and friends REFUSE to get a Facebook I am reposting this here lol From my PERSONAL Facebook... not my work one because it never fails when my family and friends who DO like Facebook LOL look up my name then they add my work one. Worse... I purposefully flipped the pic for my work 180 degrees as a ka ona to show that the Haole World is diametrically and radially opposed to the Hawaiian World in some ways so more I laugh because while it is me... it is not REALLY me LOL It's all technical talk there (i.e. which I call BORING TALK) as well. As some of y'all know BORING talk bores me LOL What I LOVE to discuss is housing for ALL Hawaiians in the form of shared ownership (i.e. condos and/or co-ops.) Now that topic never ever bores me.Well earlier today I adopted two Pomeranians from the SPCA: BamBam and Pebbles. Normally they would be $100 each to adopt (for purebreds) but since they wanted them to stay together... we adopted them for $100 for both of them so that they would be together. (They are 10 years old while Princess Hina is about five years old.)In the midst of this the purpose of our trip to the SPCA was to actually get one of my friend's dogs back for her. I had my husband drive as fast as we could in order to try to rescue him. Long story short... I wasted time, money, and energy AND I took the day off from work just to be able to help her. My husband ended up taking him back about 30 minutes later after she told me that she does not think that she can handle it anymore due to her finances and her work schedule. Note that not once did she tell me NOT to go but I knew there was a chance she would change her mind and I erred on trying to save him for her. We ended up paying the $150 adoption fee but we were subsequently refunded. In the end while my mission was to rescue her dog... I ended up rescuing two OTHER dogs.Now we have three Pomeranians: Princess Hina Sweetie Pie Snowball aka Princess Hina aka Princess aka Ms. Super Doggie who Survived Some Deadly Toxins Despite Being Only Ten Pounds LOL (She defied the odds based on her body mass.)

Of course some people just HAVE to be negative LOL... but I love dogs and now we have three doggies and one cat (Fluffy) who we adopted from our local SPCA. (One of my nieces, Mahinaokalani, who is the top scoring kindergardener throughout the HISTORY of Virginia is like me in that way. That and how annoying people are annoying to us LOL) I find it ironic that their names are "BamBam" and "Pebbles" because when I was a little girl I used to watch the Flintstones A LOT.This is one of my goals though... to adopt as many Hawaiian children as I possibly can and adopt doggies... so this should not surprise you folks LOLI also got a message from someone at Facebook. He asked me, "Are you the Lana on Star Bulletin or the Advertiser? I like your stuff." which made me laugh because I PURPOSEFULLY love to make other people laugh.. especially other Hawaiians because ever since I was a little girl I knew that it was very stressful to BE Hawaiian. Or rather... for Hawaiians to just BE in Hawai'i LOL I have always been this way. Always joking around so that some people are not so miserable. Of course some people notice that I laugh a lot... while they are grouchy LOL Like one of my friends who happens to be a cop. I always joke around and like I tell him... like it is SO wrong to be HAPPY LOL But people believe what THEY want to believe. It makes me laugh when some people try to dictate to others what to do, think, and/or say so it amuses me. For me it's "I have my mana'o, you have your mana'o, and neither is "right" or "wrong." However actions are or can be."Anyway I currently have two pending deals which is amazing considering. This means that I get to donate to MY causes before I make. Morbid... I know :P Lately I have been working a lot though and have yet to do some things. I won't be taking a vacation until the middle of June when my eldest niece Makanamaikalani graduates from high school. I've written about this before... but while I did not graduate from UH I graduated from the University of Washington partly due to my repulsion to the abuse (in emotional, verbal, and written forms) directed to Hawaiians. I hope that she attends UH-Manoa though... because I KNOW that other Hawaiians will watch over her in some way. Back in the '80s I did not feel that way. I still think it can be very dangerous for Hawaiian children due to the verbal and written daggers targeting Hawaiians. I do not want my nieces to be exposed to the racism against Hawaiians and internalize it because some of the words... wow so pilau. Fortunately she has been accepted to Embry-Riddle Aeronautical in Daytona Beach, Florida and to UH-Manoa. I'm not worried as I used to be and KNOW that some Hawaiians will watch over her at UH. It may help too because her first name is Makanamaikalanimai so I highly doubt that some people will question if she has the iwi LOL So far she has decided to attend UH-Manoa and hopefully enter the School of Engineering. Her father is an engineer.
