Everyday Paradise

Winter weather in Hawaii is always unpredictable. Expect rain and cooler temperatures, and be happily surprised when the day is warm and sunny like any summer day.

The trade winds blow and everything shifts in an instant. Enjoy the day, whatever it brings.

Hawaii Living

I have always found the outrigger canoe paddles beautiful. I grew up seeing them in most of my friends homes, hanging on their walls like art.

I have developed a desire to collect them. The few I have, are in constant use, so they don't have time to be admired on my walls.

But I think I prefer to see them at the beach with all my friends as we take them to adventure in the ocean.

Wishing for sunshine, and many new adventures!

Dream Living

Life is so busy sometimes. We are always going here and there, trying to make it. Lifetimes are also brief. Steal away time just for yourself! Make sure you find balance in work and play. Your life is your dreams made real.

Wishing you many beautiful moments.

Aloha Friday...no work til Monday

I love Friday! Growing up in Hawaii, I can't help but hum along to the tune "It's Aloha Friday" by Kimo Kahoano. Catchy and happy, it sets my mood for a great weekend.

Wishing you a beautiful Aloha Friday and fabulous weekend.

Song lyrics...I know you are singing the chorus right now :-)

It's Aloha Friday
By Kimo Kahoano

Here is where I sit, all cloudy and blitzed
with the Primo bottles lying everywhere
Got a guitar in my hand and a Wesson Oil can
Under my okole for a chair.

CHORUS:
It's Aloha Friday, no work till Monday.
Doo be doo, doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!
(Repeat)

The cousins all here, drinking up my beer
got keikies running everywhere.
I got some poki on the side while mama's trying to hide
the Miller and the Heineken beer.

(CHORUS)

OK. You know when you wanna get away, I mean one ting
about Friday ma, da working work is ovah yeah.
Frankly, ya, I feel good man.
I work hard all week long.
I can't wait to get away, you know like down like the beach.
I'm cruise dis weekend yeah, get one hot concert too man,
dat's the most important ting. But main ting too,
is to get enough money fo gas and to go out to da disco.
I like to see all da beautiful chicks Yeah!
So now I gonna jus kinda cruise, take my Bank Americard,
you know adderwise, how can I get money?
Right, plus den my friends always say
eh braddah, you can buy me one drink then.

THIRD VERSE
Kimo and the crew sucking up the brew
pulehu meat smoking on the side
All the surfers are a-droppin'
while the highschool are a-poppin'
down Kaluakaua for a ride.

CHORUS:
It's Aloha Friday, no work 'til Monday.
Doo be doo, doo doo be, doo be doo be doo be doo!

REPEAT
