Ya know, this is going to be one of my “love” issues blog. How do you know when he or she is the right one for you?

At one time in my life, I was so in love I couldn’t see straight. Seriously the phrase coined, “love is blind” is hands down, true. I was once so in love I could not see the other side in time. And when I finally did, it was kind of too late but not. I know this may not make sense.

Tonight, I got to hang with some very dear friends and my ipo… Ipo is like my honey for all ya’all who don’t know what an ipo is. It was strange. I felt comfortable, but not in its entirety. Not in completion. He saw some old friends and sat with them a while, it was me who had to invite them to sit with us in order for myself and my ipo to at least share a table with each other. Now peeps, know that I am not badgering him, I care for him, I’m simply contemplating what I felt exactly, tonight.

I felt that even though he was in the same room as I was, in the same vicinity, just a few yards away from me, he felt like he was a whole state away from me. A whole 300 miles apart.

I looked at him and it was like “Wow! We’re together. We’re together??” Read the rest of this entry »

OK so about a week ago I had to go do my civic duty and attend jury selection. This seemed like a long process since this was the 3^rd re-schedule of this trial from the beginning of March. Oh by the way, it was for Federal Court which means that I’m still eligible for City and County State Court (great). The night before the court date, you call this phone number punch in your 9 digit identification number and then a recording comes on to tell you if its re-scheduled of if you need to show up to court at 8AM. On the 3^rd attempt if the case gets rescheduled again … you’ve actually fulfilled your jury duty obligation for an entire year before the Federal Courts can call you again, but low and behold off to court I would go. I called work told them that I had jury duty and basically set my alarm for 6AM.
The next morning I got up, brushed my teeth, got dressed and then searched the internet for what items I could bring to jury selection with me. I was hoping to find some information but not much was available. (Oh and by the way, the no shorts and slippers rule they have … ahhh … Read the rest of this entry »

You know what? What if everyone in the nation or let alone Hawai’i nei stopped paying taxes? I mean would it be crazy of me to have this kind of fascination? Because Hawai’i is doing so poorly in many ways and good in some, but my gosh people!!! WE have to pay the highest dollar for gas? We have to pay more on taxes income, federal, and PROPERTY!? We have to now pay for the bus company making a mistake by moving and not clearing it with the feds, we have to pay for more education and yet improvement is very SLOWWWWWWW and slim, we have to pay for everything they could think of. I want to be in support of our legislature, but holy crap, what would happen if we just all decided not to pay our taxes. Our prisons aren’t doing well either, they’re full, where are they going to put us anyways? On the beach??? What would be so bad about that? Our government is growing too comfortable with their careless spending and demanding tax hikes! They are creating a smaller middle class here and the general public should rise up and sound off! Why should I read the newspaper or watch the news anymore? So they can shove another tax hike down my throat? People should not be afraid of our government. The government should be afraid of its people. Time after time, year after year Hawai’i’s residents pay and for what? The government serves everyone else prior to serving the populace! They work for US! WE are your employers!!!!!! I think if this path continues to heighten and the pressure becomes too much, we all just might find ourselves in a bind when people KU’E taxes and say, “Now what are you going to do?”

Good luck paying your taxes this year…

I feel like it is not my place to tell women what to do, to tell anyone what to do. Pregnancy is such a wild epiphany; realizing a baby is growing inside, you gotta get your sh*t together, not now - I’m getting somewhere in my career, but wow, a little baby!!! These thoughts undoubtfully run within the minds of women married and unmarried. I think all women go through feelings of happiness AND sadness. There is not just one emotion.

I chose to write about such a highly controversial topic today because there is a patient I work on in Kailua who is extremely pro life. Now, when I say extremely pro life I mean he drives around those big trucks with pictures of aborted babies with their limbs torn around a $ .25 quarter. It is gory, disgusting, repuslive, sickening to see. However, it made me think the obvious. “This is what happens when you abort your own baby.” Its heartbreaking, it brings me to my knees and these photos are also met with a different reaction; a certain kind of opposition.

But in the case of opposition, its pretty extreme. People who are pro choice HATE these pictures and have acted with hate towards people who are pro life. Pro choicers act violently towards pro lifers physically, verbally, they’ve attacked people during peaceful protests and rallies, they will call and leave messages threatening to blow people’s heads off, they’ve shot at pro life airplanes, pro life trucks, its maddness.

What is ironic to me is the reaction process. Death masked by the word “choice” vs LIFE. These pictures they find offensive, but it is the TRUTH! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ABORT A BABY. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A CELL, IT LOOKS LIKE A BABY BECAUSE IT IS A BABY EVEN AS SMALL AS 4 WEEKS OLD TO 10 WEEKS OLD. Now, I know people, close people who have done this, abortion, and I do not judge them, it is a very hard decision to make. But one thing we must keep in mind is that the decision has been made for us by us and through us and with GOD. A conception happens for a reason. It is not that easy to conceive. The child chooses us, God chooses us to become more in this life.

My cousins who became pregnant but were still in high school chose the hardest thing which was to be a mother and mother their children despite how bad their relationships were. Trust me, I know, I know what its like to have a poor relationship and to work hard at it. But they were just children themselves having children. I have to respect that. In my heart, I already know some of the challenges, but my challenges of motherhood and pregnancy were met at 24, not at 16. The baby is not at fault.

I would like abortion to never exist because of the fact that I was able to view these horrific pictures and I do feel that anyone contemplating abortion should at least know the truth of their actions, the consequences of their actions. Why should we follow rules and learn how to act, what not to do, and not apply the same mana’o to abortion?

The truth is located at www.abortionno.org

Furthermore, if you enjoy having sex, I know I do, please use some form of contraceptives. There are so many choices out there for you, for us to prevent pregnancy and therefore prevent abortion.

In closing, we have to remember women, that this law legalizing abortion was made by men and for men and against WOMEN.

Mahalo nui, I hope no one took offense to this.
