For my family and friends... because I know some people like make any kine:
Not surprisingly many local people voted for Obama. It never ceases to amaze me how BRIGHT intelligent Hawaiians STILL insist that Senator Obama is good to Hawaiians. He's not.Obama would sign the Akaka Bill WHEN he is president.http://archives.starbulletin.com/2008/01/22/news/story05.htmlThis differs from President Bush who was set to veto the Akaka Bill which will reorganize our land and thus title which will wreak HAVOC on our MO'OPUNA. Mark my words. (Obviously I work in real estate with hopes of eventually becoming a land and title expert in BOTH residential and commercial... but not a greedy, LAME one... because it is the land -- along with water and language -- that gives us life and some people want us dead so that they can have our land. Blunt... I know :P)So for all the Hawaiians who voted for Senator Obama WHEN he sends our keiki to the wolves in Washington DC it IS your fault. I will blame EACH and EVERY ONE of you (LOL)Do NOT blame me. I voted for McCain. In fact when I found out that Senator Obama is now president-elect Obama I was working out at the 24-Hour Fitness at McCarran Airport near Gate D. While on the elliptical watching television coverage I cried not for ME but for the Hawaiian children and their destiny in his hands. Some people would NEVER understand.As for the Kamehameha Schools All Alumni Reunion... oh my gosh. I have so many good things to say but I will just post a few highlights:1. I saw two of my classmates, Keith Fukuda KS '85 and Eric Apaka '85. Keith and I sat at the same table. We were discussing our Myspace and they told me their address. They both laughed when I told them that mine isI LOVE AKU PALU LOL2. Dr. Michael Chun came up to my husband and I and I was thinking, "Oh god please do not walk up to me please?!??!!" LOL I get nervous around HUMBLE people like him but I did end up telling him that he is related to my grandmother and he knew he was through his wife who is a Mossman. I cannot rave enough about him but talking to him made me nervous. Why? Because he INSPIRES Hawaiian children and I am in awe of people who CARE so I get NERVOUS LOL He is warm and kind and an epitome of what I think Hawaiians should be to their own cousins since all Hawaiians are cousins through Wakea, Papa, and Haloa but then what do I know? LOL He was so warm and kind though which I knew him to be.3. During dinner they had a DVD presentation. Okay I have NO problem with listening but the DVD presentation made me cry so imagine me eating a nice dinner with my eyes swelling with tears.4. CEO Dee Jay Mailer made some incredible points. I was in awe when she mentioned that we can NEVER forget the children out there who are still not being helped. I thought to myself, "Cool!!!!" I can see why she gets high marks from many people because so-called leadership comes from the "top"... down and if she thinks this way then that is so cool. I am also very observant. She dressed "down"... not "above" others. Instead it was Hawaiian casual which I noticed to be a great sign. I am not naive to believe that everyone who has hundreds and/or thousands of lives of Hawaiians IN THEIR HANDS is kind though I am VERY observant and she never ceases to impress me. IMO though... there are still MANY Hawaiian children out there who NEED help. I am not naive about that.5. At the end we sang our school song. There were about 500 people in attendance. Imagine that amount of people in a huge circle with one thing in common in that all of us are children of Pauahi and share that bond. Singing the school song while watching and listening OF COURSE made me cry. Again LOLOf course it dawned on me that only people who have money attended. I HAD to show up though out of respect for my kupuna and for everyone who was kind and compassionate to me when I was super poor.I have some pictures. I may post some later.I also hung out at the California Hotel and the Main Street Station with my husband and my parents. I love seeing local people.. but I stayed at the Fiesta Henderson off of 215 because it's off the beaten path as in HIDDEN LOLWhich reminds me when I picked up my parents from Terminal 2 there were some local people paying for parking and I told my dad, "Dad... no worry I get em." I have dark blondish hair so I look VERY Haole. My mom always tells people that I look Haole LOL Well all of them turned around in shock when I spoke some pidgin though HAOLEFIED pidgin LOL When we drove off they all waved at us which was cool. Das local style das why. My mother asked me how I can deal with rude people on North America. She is surprised that I can handle it so she asked me how I can handle it. I laughed LOLLatahs!
