jitters from the shake!

Tonight ,there was an earthquake here on maui. The day for me has been pretty good. I stayed home. I was planning to go to the Paia Bash but realize with only 8 bucks cash. and only 62 in the bank, i know i can't walk out my door for any leisure reason. I was kinda bummed cause i wanted to meet this girl from twitter who was gonna go too.(Fasha). Well, i made grilled chicken on my George Foreman grill that i got a garage sale a few weeks ago. I like that machine. I even did my zucchini on it too.very juicy. All i know is that i was sitting at my computer and i just felt this huge jolt. i knew right away it was an earthquake. it rattled a few seconds which felt like minutes. my house i call a cabin cause it has no drywall in it. i like my wood wall and wood floors. and only 700 sq ft. This may sound wild , but i am all natural and in my birthday outfit, and i was running around my house to put on some clothes cause i wanted to go outside. LOL, i put on a sarong.(usually i have one on, but tonite i didn't) I went out on my deck(with the sarong on) and just stared out into the sky. i was waiting for an aftershock. i stayed out there a few minutes, than i tweeted it on twitter. WOW. yay it is amazing that twitter!
MEMORY>>>>>>>>
back in the mid 80's (86/or 87) i was in Pasadena and was awaken by an earthquake. it was very strong. i was staying with high school friends who attended college. i was so jittery! but i learned to get in the doorway. I had to work that night(i worked in marina Del Ray) and people at work said they weren't phased by it, it happens a lot. Well i never experience a lot of them so i just didn't know how to react. luckily, i had my ticket to come home to maui. it was just a waiting game from then on. I was happy to be back home.<<<<<<WOW> i must say i felt jittery this time too. . on edge. uncertain. darn it is hard to have these feelings because i am usually so much in control of ME> but hey i can't control mother maui moving like she did. and i wonder why such activities. dormant for ages and now sudden movement. makes ya wonder.??
I know the Big island is alive and growing and the people there know they live on an island with an active volcano. Here on maui...makes ya wonder
AND, this week i lost everything on this computer.pictures,files, music, oh well. i am not that attached. but i will be more aware of what is coming on to it now!
so sorry no pic this time.
but if you can imagine...............
birds calling the sun out in the morning, sun shining, light winds blowing,air is fresh, flowers so fragrant, sunsets so lovely. hey maui no ka oi!
i love my beautiful self
i love my beautiful body
i love you

Aloha, yesterday I went to Big Beach, Makena. I usually go 2nd entrance and than to the left.It is usually filled with skim boarders. OH man it was so nice out. Even through the vog. I swam about 3 times and the waves were so flat, which for Makena is nice cause you know how they can suck you in on those bigger shore breaks. Than I went to the shower on to the side of the Prince Hotel. It was just really nice for me to be there.
But get this as I am about to exit Wailea looking at all that new condos, I decide to go the THE SHOPS OF WAILEA It just called me. I only go to 3 stores there (well whalers general if I have to),the Enchantress, Fifi and Bootzie (same owners. remember then from Paia town for many years) and Blue Ginger. I rarely go to this mall.
It was a good day to be out and about.
mahalo enjoy the pictures.

wonder moments of the night

Aloha! i wonder sometimes........ i have had a headache at the end of work and i have been drinking water and even ate a hearty meal, took a hot/cold shower and just as i was ready to relax, my right side inside of my eyebrow just pounds. i try not to think of it. it its better and i am ready to rest my head. doing pressure point holding does help. i have very healing hands and it did do the trick. also i incorporated using a clear quartz crystal to add pressure to the spot. it did help. any thing to avoid asprin or advil i guess for this once. off to dreamland !
BTW this pic is from last year. i will add a new one next time

so today is very important

aloha, i finally put up my kinda year in review post of 2008. if you need to know more details jus let me know which part.
Today i have a lot of antisipation for my son to come home tomorrow. Yes he has been in and out of the US since july .and what a job he has. I am so proud of him being a US MARINE!(nearly 2yrs now)I have to remember that he is a grown person. In my mind i still have that thought of him being my little guy, and i feel like doteing over his every need. BUT I am the one who needs help. I still haven't got my car fixed,although this is payday week for me so i may jus do it.see how i always think i have to do it myself, but this time i will feel more inclined to ask my son for assistance. Praise to him cause he did help me with the cell phone. he he i am on HIS family plan.(my nextel account is in collections, in my mind on hold and away forever)Also i will have to ask him to help me get food. I know sounds wierd, but he is use to eating 3 meals a day. Don't get me wrong, i will cook for him, i jus need the ingredients to make stuff. I am sure he will want my chopped steak dinner or even my awesome scalloped potatoes. or homemade musubis nmade with tofu instead of spam. see i have always cooke for him. so we'll see. But believe me it won't hurt to go out and eat jus for the break of it or even jus for change. And here's another thing, do i tell him the whole "you are in my house so respect my rules" i think so. why should have that change. it jus seam for me to let go a few things are good but yet i wanna pull the strings. I can't help it i have always been the head of our household.And i have a very dominating mom way of being,. AHH must let go.I guess this is why my son is independent the way he is. I have always said to him "if it's not me that is getting things done than it is him, cause we are the only ones doing it for each other" yes this is the bond i have for my one and only son. i love him always!
so i put a rug down in his room, and i have a roll away bed and folding futon for choice of him to sleep. and he can jus enjoy being HOME! i don't have living room funiture so i will put up a little table with patio chairs around it to have that "let's eat together as a family "feeling. also no TV which will be very interesting. internet is the new age of things i guess(unless he helpsme pay my past due cable bill and get a re hook up)otherwise i am reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy excited for the new experience of my MAN coming home!
i will try to post ictures .
mahalo

Aloha,WOW What a year that 08 was!. Well if i can only list it than here goes:
!. Javan decides to come home only for 3 night in Feb,because his friends dad passes away! It was a very fast trip but my son was very determined to come and pay his respect to papa Mc Gregor. I was really excited although when he left,I was so unhappy. I was just getting used to having his energy around me. And than he was gone!. But he has a job to do and I was even lucky to see him. I am so sorry to James who lost his dad! James is Javan's cowboy/classmate buddie!
@.Im march I went to Shaggy's birthday party . Me and Kathy ventured out to Lahaina to Hrd Rock Cafe. When I seen Him,he was with Maui Mulisha(Jon). And they were both very cordial to us. I admit i have a crush on Shaggy and I think he kinda know it. The night was super fun,it was like the 3rd time i meet him besides seeing his internet show'shaggylive'. Very different in a bar scene! This also when i got laid off from a part time job.(maui mountain cruisers) it lasted a month.
#. April, I went to The Hana Taro Festival! It has been so , long since I even went to Hana. I had a blast! I went with Penny and her son Skyler! Hana is jus really kick back style. All I did was enjoy good music(I remember the band Ai Pohaku from Big Island) and I ate taro mochi! yummy! The Hawaiian entertainment was jus awesome. We didn't stay and we drove back right after sunset.Oh yeah, as we cruised by Hana Bay berfore we came back, this guy goes Jamie, and I think to myself ,who knows ME in Hana? It turned out to be Joe T. And we knew each other in high school. small island moment.It was another good time on this beautiful island!
$. In the beginning of May , I went to a wedding on Molokai. I stayed 2 day and 3 nights. The wedding was Cindy and Shane! Cindy is a Molokai homegrown and the wedding was on the property where she grew up.,On'e Ali'i Fishponds. It is so beautiful there. I loved visiting Halawa Valley. Even if I got wheezzy coming back in the car , I didn't get sick but jus need ed out of a moving vehicle. i was glad to rest back at my room(at the Molokai Shores). I met some funny and interesting people.
% June Javan came home to visit. he is a JOY to have here. I was not working so lotsa time spent with each other. .Than the week before he leaves i get a job. Although that was very short lived(the job that is). I had to wait to file for UI benifits.
^ July My son turned 19 in Okinawa!
&. Aug still job searching and getting desperate.
* Sept.Well I was so desperate, this is what i did to humblize and redeam myself.>>TRU STORY
I woke up on the first monday of sept spring out of bed thinking to myself. Shoots if the vegerance can do it so can I. I got up and decided to make a cardboard sign that says DONATIONS WANTED FOR BILLS,GAS,FOOD. with a smiley face on it and i went to the intersection of Puunene and Daiery road(kitty corner to the kings catheral church. It was 8:20 am, and the sun was hot, and i just stood with my sign. it was very interesting. cause it is a busy intersection. And i just stand and watch the traffic and the road. Than the first car that stops, A MAUI ELECTRIC TRUCK with 2 workers in there. and they say"eh sistah you get the hardest job today" and they hand me some cash. wow! I tripped out cause i needed money so bad to pay for my electric!.Thana nother guy stops and walks up to me and gives me a hat. I am crying by this . I continue to stand till about1130am. than i go to make a payment on my electric. So i decide to stand in a spot in Spreklesville and it was not good. But by now it is like almost 4pm so i decide to go to kahukui. Right in front of the 24hr fitness on hana hwy. and i just stand. ONG the people just kept stopping. i had very many maui angels that day. wow I got home arounf 7pm and i made 220 dollars and i was so sunburn and dirty. i am so thankful for my house.
than on Thursday i try it again so i got to Alamaha Street near the minute stop, right under the shady trees. and i stood there. It was different but again i was blessed. that day was 80.00 and again i knew i could bay some bills and keep the phone on. After my 2 stints i did apporch Pastor dale from Pukalani Nazeren Church(that is where my son goes) and asked for donation. He was very kind and the church donated to me and i have gone to fellowship which i do like.Also he turned me on to the feed my sheep program. still no work though.
( Oct. was another struggle cause i had to wait til nov to be eleigable to apply for UI benifits .I went to the beach alot and was mindless on the internet. but i still kept my sanity.
)Nov. more of not to much of nothing except beaching it
