I was waiting for someone to write in hea. So wea all MY writahs at? Again? Hoooo da kine…. Fine, I going write.

So somebody in class told me: “You must not have any drama or stress in your life?” WHO does not have something or other going on in their life. The difference between me and THEM is that I don’t talk about IT the way THEY do. Everybody has a story. Everybody has ups and downs. Lotta downs. Great ups. With that said, WE ALL deal with our dramas, pilikias, and pissed off-edness in our own way.

Most people talk about it. Lot of people talk about it over and over and over. Every detail repeated from person to the next, and like where I use to work in cubicle city; I heard the same story related over and over, to every and anyone who asked. I listened. Then sometimes I tune out. Not to be rude or anything but after I hear the story for the umpteenth time, I get desensitized and it doesn’t sound as “critical” as the first time I heard the story. You know what I mean.

I don’t talk about MY Dramas because one story will lead to another and next thing you know, I’m telling and saying everything I told myself I wouldn’t say. I can’t tell just a piece of a story because every drama story comes with a history. So then I’d have to give history and what not. Time is too precious to go over “da drama” ova and ova. Thats just me. I tend not to dwell on my drama and I think maybe I should but been there done that. Tired awreddy.

Maybe its a coping skill I learned as a kid. Ignore it and you won’t know its there. Its also called, its gonna bite you in da ass. But wotdahey I got a big thick ass, I can handle it. Or can I? It makes me wonder sometimes. I just don’t make a big deal outta whateva it is that there is that needs to be made a big deal of. (WOT?)

[I am juss free typing here and letting my fingas do da tinking - LOL] Its a writing therapy thing I do. I’ll read this afta I pau write and I’ll wonder what in theeHELL am I writing about. Does it matter? NO. Its kinda of like “if it feels good write it.” Wait, that should be about s - e - x ain’t it? LOL

It threw me for a loop wen I was told “I must not have any drama/stress in my life.” Stress is one of those self made things. If I think I’m stressed I am, so what am I gonna do? Write wierd-ed out pieces la dis! Its therapy. hehehehehe

Did you hear, read, see the story about dis one lady suing Victoria Secret BECAUSE, da thong she bought from them hit her in the eye?

I ain’t making this up. My imagaination is not DAT off da wall. Its just off, but not in dat direction.

The story goes, this lady bought a thong from Victoria Secret. Said thong had this little heart ornament dilly, you know like a heart holding the dental floss aka elastic togedda. Ok so, the claim is she got injured by dat ting. Da bugga wen fly in her eye and went scratch her cornea. Da docta said there are three scratches on her cornea.

OK now, how does one THONG tatong tong go flying into ones eye? Like one sling shot yeah. And how does a sling shot work? You have to PULL the elastic. Anden TWING!

SO you gotta use your imagination hea….. Girlfren stay TRYING to put on her Tatong thong, her stay stretching’um…….stretching’um sommmmmoe…..and moe and TOING right in da eye! How da hell? I must watch WAY TOO much CSI. But what dey gotta do is calculate da amount of TORQUE it took fo’dat flying panty to scratch her eyeball. As pretty vicious, her said had 3 lacerations on her eyeball. And why did she HAVE TO pull the thong la dat…. hhmmmmm.

I saw this on one of those msn videos I think. The Defendent & her lawyer was being interviewed by Meridith Vierra. I swear dat Lawyer wanted to laugh. He was being too freaking serious. How you going be serious and you talking about one flying panty. Puh-lese. Bugga prolly wen FUT cause he was holding his laugh. But I digress…..

Ok so where was I….FLYING THONG! Oh yeah. So this thong injured da wahine and she is sueing Victoria Secret. K. In order for dat THONG to go flying into her eye and scratch’um up it had to get stretched to da max. Ya’think? Why would one have to do dat? CAUSE da ting so tiny and da ASS SO BIG had to get around it BUT neva reach cause wen juss fly in da eye! Lucky she neva kill somebody. I can see the headlines now…. MAN DIES FROM FLYING THONG: Girlfriend in custody.

To me dis is not one product liabilty. It’s OE! Operator error. Hello? This was not one small wahine. BUT it was one kinda small thong as thongs are. Its rubba bands connected to one napkin yeah. Small skinny narrow kine napkin.

My question is: Why would you admit to something like this on TV or court? Because you want to be known as the person who got her eyeball scratched by a flying Victoria Secret thong? Why would a lawyer even take this case. Because he wants to be known as the lawyer who sued Victoria Secret?

People are dying and getting injured in wars, people are economically struggling and “these people” go on TV and talk about how one flying panty wen scratch dey eyeballs and so they want a couple of million dollar cause they could not properly cover dey big ass with dental floss!

YA’KNOW if the thong I was putting on had to be stretched so far as to be able to injury me….. I would take dat as one sign…..”get your ass to da gym girlfriend.” And I wouldn’t tell anybody I was trying to force my ass into a thong, much less go on TV and tell only a gazillion people. No doubt more because it will forever be on youtube.com now huh?

Do you know whats gonna happen now….. because of this one law suit……. Victoria Secret is gonna have to put disclaimers on their thongs. What would it say? “Do not stretch this over your big ass, buy a bigger size.” How rude is that.

Ok how about: “Not responsible for injuries cause by your lack of poor judgement” Is dat moe tackful ya’think?

Victoria Secret is not a cheap place and they have some nice stuff. I have some “cute” Victoria Secret drawers. LOL With all this lawsuit and peronal injury stuff, you know whats gonna happen don’t you? It is gonna raise the price of panties! First the housing market, gas prices, the corn crop, and now higher priced THONGS! Its frkn survival of the fittest, no doubt half of the population is gonna go COMMANDO. *L*

This is a project still in progress. It is my pono bowl. What’s a pono bowl? Whatever you want it to be. Its a bowl where you put you treasures or sacred stuff or whatever stuff you want to put in it, you can even leave it empty. Its your bowl. I suppose you could put smelly dried up stuff if you wanted to. Whats that called, potpurri? You know what I mean. LOL

Anyway most of it is done. Although it could use more sanding, I’m done with the sanding. You gotta be in a sanding mood and I think I did a lot yesterday. This is what it looked like before I started cleaning the inside, scraping out all da opala anden it needed to be sanded.

This is after I did da burning of the main design. Still got work to do on it but its maybe 80% done. Something like that. I want to add a couple of honus. If I’m in the mood I’ll sand some more inside. If not then pau. Currently, I have some herbs in the bowl. It’ll make’um smell good hah? There’s some sweetgrass, rosemary and cedar.

I haven’t thought of what to put in it yet. I need a kuahu/altah/alter yea? *L* My rosary that I rarely use but I still spew out those Our Fathers and Hail Marys with out beads. What do I have thats a “treasure?”

A work in progress….

I really enjoyed making this. My art is a bit off but its called using stencils. Cause free hand wise it woulda been stick figures. This was my first experience using a burning pen or burning wood. I also burned myself, da stem, but its called learning.

Now I need to dedicate time to finish this bowl. Its da kine stuff, if/when you start you know like stop. Gotta finish what you started and not be interrupted by this that or the other. I must make one for each kid. I can hear them now, “Mom & her projects.” They say “oh another Designbydakine!” LOL

I should do an Etsy.com store huh? That would be cool I think. What would I call it? How about: PONO4U! That looks like a vanity license plate. LOL

Manuahi is translated as “gratis” or like free of charge, I always thought it to mean “extra”. It can also mean “other” things but we won’t go there and I want to talk about “gratis.” *L*

Is manuahi da same as barrato? Kinda ain’t. Cheapa, discount, make deal. Filipino let’s make a deal? Barrato! I guess in haole it would be translated as a baker’s dozen, 13 instead of 12. Getting something extra huh?

When I see something I like, I not sked buyem’ especially when its very affordable. Because I have a tendency to buy gifts when there’s nobody to give it to, yet. (can you say shopaholic?) The holidays come around eventually I have “stuff” ready. I’ve bought stuff from Island Girl Bows before. I bought da little girls in the family (oh and fo’me too) cute hair barrettes for Christmas.

So I saw one flowa on her website dat I like. It was on one baby’s head but she said it fits her head so should fit mine. So fine I ordered it. Look at what all I got, what a pleasant surprise. The items are laying on my pau skirt. Check it out.

Yestaday I got my package. Monday night is hula practice so of course gotta wear da flowa. Da buttafly match so wotdayhay I puinsai. Ok not dat kine puinsai and not clitter eda. LOL

They say word of mouth and good customer service is the best advertisement. Good customer service is hard to come by these days, you eva noticed. Especially wen you talking to somebody you no can undastand dey accent and being local sometimes I think I’m loosing it and I feel bad. BUT so solly I neva grow up around da Middle Eastern & India kine accents so my ea’s no work too good. *L*

So anyways if you looking for cute girly girl stuff try go look see.

www.islandgirlbows.etsy.com

I had never even heard of etsy till “dese guys” mentioned it. There are some cool stuff there. Handcrafted items. No bidding just buy’em. How cool is that?

Mahalo KG!

So funny….. I went to see this movie with my kids. Big kids too, my oldest & youngest. We love cartoons. LOL

Well Son said he wanted to go see it Saturday but all the kids probably be there. So we he was thinking of going Sunday morning. So #Daughta said if you go call me, I wanna go see that too. So my son said lets go Sunday morning everybody should be in church. WRONG. I thought all the kids get dragged to church by their parents. Not. So my son went in first go save us seats, while I waited outside since I had my daughtas ticket. We go into the theater and my son is sitting front and center, right above the handicap section. He says MOM this is the best we’re gonna get away from all the kids. WRONG. The place was filled with kids.

I have to buy this when it comes out. So funny. It will make you laugh. I love Kung Fu movies and this one with animals, OMG too cute. Cause da Panda real momona yeah, everytime stay grinding. He cracks me up. Masta Shifu was fighting with Po da Panda trying to teach him and stomping on Po and he’s lying down exhausted and he says, “Stop it you gonna make me pee.” Dey shoulda done it in Pidgin, I would have rolled if he said “you going make me shishi.”

Its a fun movie. I still have one question doe. Ha’come Po da Panda’s fahdah one goose? There’s one hanai story I tink. *L*

You ever noticed or wondered ha’come some peoples voice no match dem. Like if you only heard their voice, you think like they might look a certain kinda of way, then when you see’um you’re like, da voice and face no match. Or like on TV the sports casters or newscasters they have THAT voice and just looking at them you wouldn’t think they sound like that.

There’s a certain pitch of voice I can not stand. It a high pitch, an octave or two below fingernails scratching a blackboard.I had a neighbor that had that high pitchy voice and it got irritating listening to her. People prolly say the same thing about me. LOL But I don’t have a high voice. Do I?

I was messing with my phone because I changed the ringtone on it; so I thought I should change the voice mail greeting too. So I listened to my message and I made funny face cause “datsME?” It sounds like a kid? I sound like a kid? It doesn’t sound more then half a century anyways….LOL Maybe if I talk moe haole I’d sound moe olda. But why I need sound moe olda? I know how old I is, so what how old my voice sounds. Sounding like a kid is fun sometimes cause den I can act dumb and people think its just da dang kids. I use to do that with telemarketers. It was their faul, they always asked me if my Mom or Dad was home and I tell’um no. Doesn’t even have to be a nice no. Just NO with attitude. *L*

With every job I’ve had there’s always a certain amount of answering phones involved. I always get the “you’re probably to young to know this but……” I was thought that was funny. Cause for a lot of the callers I could look at their info and I know dey olda den me. Or I get the “back in the 70’s blah blah blah” but you’re probably to young to know that. Wellllll, not really but I don’t have to tell’um.

I like low voices, you know the Barry White kine, da Radio announcer kine. Probably cause its a pleasant tone, totally opposite then the high pitch. I know this guy, I swear to GAWD if you heard him you would think as one wahine. I didn’t believe as was one kane talking till I met da person. It looks like a guy, walks likes a guy, I’m assuming it has GUY equipment but da voice lacks testosterone. Do you know what I mean? And on the phone sound moe wahine-ish then in person. Its weird. Maybe its my ears? Its the strangest thing. Cause you know how mahu’s try their best to change the pitch of their voice makem’ moe feminine, so this guy no need do dat cause it all ready there. Then there’s wahines that sound like kane’s yeah. Sound like they going kick yo’ass even wen dey nice and harmless la dat.

I always like my voice when I sick and its “low and raspy.” What one of my bosses use to call my 1-900 voice. For like 6 months my voice changed. I didn’t think much about it. In fact I just thought it was allergies. How dufus am I? Anyway I it was serious issues and it taught me to shutup. LOL At one point I totally lost my voice, for months I couldn’t talk loud. So dat gave me an idea something was wrong. My family is kinda know for da “loudness” yeah. I knew I was getting better and improving when I started being accused of being “too loud.” LOL There are times when my voice fades and its kinda like a sign yeah ~ you betta shutup. I see it as a good thing. It’d be sad to totally loose my voice. That was one of the risk the doctors told me about when I went unda da knife. Pretty freaking to think you I may not talk again. Fo’real I wen shuttup yeah.

Now if and when I start to loose my voice, I just figure its a sign. It just means shuttup and listen, neva mind wala’au. *L*
