Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of posts telling men to appreciate their women. Well, women don’t forget to appreciate your man!
Here’s one of the many reasons I appreciate mine. Any man can father a child but, not every man is a great dad!
Loving mine & ours.
Alena went to Hawai`i island this past weekend with her `ohana papakema to watch her god-sister in a beauty pageant.
Alena: Mommy, I watched Nalei in the beauty pageant.
Me: Did you have fun hunny?
Alena: Mmmhhhmmm. When I get bigger I’m going to be in a beauty pageant.
Me: Oh you are?
Alena: Yes! And I’m going to win!
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Humanities with a concentration in Hawaiian-Pacific Studies and it took me four years.
However, the amount of time it takes to obtain a degree depends on the major and how much credits a student completes each semester.

Dr. Chun you are officially TUMBLR FAMOUS! Mahalo nui for all of the years you served the school, the haumana, and most importantly the lahui as our headmaster!

my first wedding that i shot, i got lots of learning to do!
The pictures came out beautiful sis! CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEWLYWEDS MR. & MRS. BROWN! Iʻm on the far left in the bridal party picture.
Look who I got to work with today! Being a mom is already a full time job and having another job is a juggling act in itself. Luckily for me anytime Alena doesn’t have school I can bring her in with me or if she’s sick I can simply call in.
I honestly believe a big part of it has to do with the fact that I work for a native Hawaiian program. I’m surrounded by other kanaka who understand the `ohana structure and ultimately our kuleana is always to our `ohana first. If anyone else had a family obligation the rest of us cover for the other completely understanding and even offering our kokua. The haole workplace is very individualistic and I feel that our program success as a hui and the success of our people as a lahui will be dependent upon our capability to hold true to the values practiced by our kupuna.
