Hello my fellow BLOGGERS so it's been awhile since I've really sat down and jotted down my feeling on the happenings of my life, and trust me alot has happened and whatnot but I need to jump back on the banwagon and start up again. This past saturday (March 27, 2010) we ONE VOICE had a fundraiser (Hawaiian plate sale) to raise some money for our AZ trip and boy it's been awhile since we've traveled as a choir and what better time then to start right after general conference:). It's been awhile since I've been back with the group but let me tell you it's sooo good to be singing with them again for one it's helped me grow spiritually and 2 the people in the group and great company, and ALL the memories I've had with them are priceless down below are a couple of pic's from my phone I wish I took more but was the driver for the store runs LOL. Cheers to ONE VOICE for fundraising a great amount of mula and to the Maumau's for helping us make the yummy food!

I have to tell you a cool experience tho while ana and I was running around to stores grabbing last minute things. While we were standing in the produce area a palangi girl approached us saying: Sorry to be so Random but would any of you be interested in playing on the Utah Blitz Women's football team LOL, can you imagine my reaction to her comment LOL, while we were talking I hear UT BLITZ from a male's voice look over and the girl says meet Mike Ramos he's one of our coaches, I laughed and said hey I remember you from high school he graduated in '94 and he's like what you went to granger to I said yes sir graduated in '96...anyways she's been saying how they've been trying to recruit some poly's to the team but they haven't really had any luck and so she said that they will be at granger high football field practicing from 2-7pm. Well I decided to take the offer so after runnin' around and helping out with One Voice I decided to head on over to Granger to see what they had to offer. Believe me it was pretty trippy to see women geared up in the football gear running around and tackling heck yeah was what I was thinking full body contact I think I can hang, more like I'm so ready to lay some girl out flat LOL, then the minute I saw them conditioning I said to myself "OH MY HELL, I'M GONNA DIE" LOL but on the positive side it'd be good to get into shape, and to hit some girls at the same time bwahahaha ok don't wanna sound violent cause I'm not that kinda person but I've always wanted to play football when I was younger just didn't think my mom would approve LOL, anyways click here to read more about the Utah Blitz, so I talked to Coach Ramos about joining when I get back from the AZ he said I should be fine if I don't play this year I'll train with them and next year for sure I'll handle that field LOL, so here's to getting my A whooped and trying something different from volleyball LOL.

PATIENCE is WHAT I NEED

So it's been awhile since I've blogged and a lot has just been crossing my mind...Discouragements, Disappointments, and just a whole lot of Frustrations I tend to think A LOT about why things happen, or why aren't I being blessed with things that I see others with when I was cleaning my purse I found this little letter that one of my friends gave me awhile back. Boy was it an eye opener and a blessing to come across it, something I needed at this time of dating and getting to know the opposite sex. I read this as if it was sent to me personally from my father in heaven, and I'm truly grateful for my heavenly father for I have neglected him in many ways but NEVER YET has he turned me down. So from here on out I'm going to get to know my Savior and Father above and just put my trust in him and I'm sure ALL will fall into place. I'm sooo grateful for all that I have been blessed with and all that is yet to come, I'm even more grateful for the trials I've faced to make me a stronger person today, tomorrow, and for eternities. I hope this letter touches you as it touched me...I LOVE THIS GOSPEL, MY FAMILY, MY FRIENDS, & even my ENEMIES!!

Everyone longs to give themselves completely to someone;
to have a deep full relationship with another:
to be loved thoroughly and exclusively

But God says "No".
"Not until you are satisfied, fulfilled and content with being loved by me alone;
with giving yourself totally and unreservedly to me;
to have an intensely personal and unique relationship with me alone.
I love you, my child. Until you discover that only in me
is your satisfaction to be found, you will not be capable of the
perfect human relationship that I have planned for you.
You will never be united with another until you are united with me;
exclusive of anyone or anything else: exclusive of any other desires or longings.
I want you to stop planning and wishing. Allow me to bring that person to you.
You just keep watching me, expecting the greatest things.
Keep listening, learning the things I tell you.
You just wait; that's all"

"Don't be anxious, don't worry, don't look around at the things others have,
or what I have given them. Don't look at the things you think you want.
You just keep looking up to me, so you won't miss what I want to show you.
When you are ready, I'll surprise you with a love more wonderful
than you would ever have dreamed of.
You see, until you are ready and until the one I have for you is ready---
I am working even this minute to have you both ready at the same time---
until you are both satisfied,
exclusively with me and the life I have prepared for you,
you will not be able to experience the love that exemplifies
your relationship with me.
This is perfect love."

"And dear one, I want you to have this wonderful love,
I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with me,
and enjoy materially and concretely, the everlasting union of beauty,
perfection and love that I offer you with myself."

"Please know that I love you utterly. Believe it and be satisfied."

Happy Birthday 'Iongi DIVA's

So I tend to BLOG the next day when things happen only because at this moment I'm without a computer at home, that will hopefully change soon. So yesturday 1/5/2010 was the birthday of the 'Iongi DIVA's turning the BIG 6 years of age, boy has the time flew by where did the days go I still remember the day Silia went into the hospital to give birth I sat in her room while mom and Rubin went into the delivery room, this was the day I decided to call in just so I can see these precious little angels, and boy were they little. I was soo excited for my little sis to not only be blessed with one child but to be able to carry 3 and full term was a blessing that is as well, Silia is just a diehard period:). I got the opportunity to help out my little sis bring these little ones up, I can't say there little anymore cause they just turned six. I just find it a blessing to be a part of there lives and just want them to know how much I TRULY LOVE THEM.

After I had got off work I decided to head on over to Old Navy to get the girls some clothes, and me going into the store to shop for kids is a BAD mistake, cause sometimes I just go overboard, good on the kids bad on my wallet LOL. I actually ended up getting them each a pillow that way when they sleep on the pillow they can ALWAYS think of AUNTIE KALO, I know right sounds kinda corny but I thought kinda thought it was cute hahaha. Anyways before I hit up ZUMBA I went to wally world to grab the girls there own individual cakes and you can't have cake without ice cream, while I was there I also ordered Morena's birthday cake for saturday...Mom's planning on celebrating the girls day with a feast woohoo, gotta LOVE food LOL. So I got that ordered can't wait to see it on saturday. So after our kickbutt ZUMBA class the girls rode with me to there house to sing to them I figured we NEED to sing on the girls REAL birthday and then Saturday we can sing again LOL, so we head out there and the girls are holding there gift trying to guess what they got...Of course they guessed pillows but I told them NOPE your wrong I didn't want to spoil it for them. We get to there house and they're telling there mom that they wanted to open there gift but silia was like not yet we need to find the camera LOL. Anyways long story short the girls opened there gift and just to see the smile on there face was PRICELESS, thank you sis for letting me be a part of the girls life, and thanks Rubin for cookin' good food to cause I was starving LOL. Another goal of mines to to at least get a little something for the kids Birthdays. LOVE my Nieces & Nephews as well as my Brother's and Sister's I'd do anything for them.

2010

Boy has it been awhile since I've blogged my bad on my part no excuses at all. With it being the NEW YEAR and all resolutions to be made, goals to be set and me thinking to myself what can I do differently this year? I've struggled in 2009 a whole lotta "ISH" and I let it get to me. This year I plan on going with the flow and whatever happens happens, Lifes to short to dwell on the past, it's now time to look forward to BIGGER & BETTER things:)!!

Bringing in the NEW YEAR was good fun with the ones I LOVE the most Mi Familia, I haven't really spent a whole lotta time with my family but I'll tell you this when I do I NEVER want it to end...I'm sooo grateful to make it through another year, do I "REGRET" anything from 2009??......NO I don't cause I can honestly tell you I learned from it all GOOD & BAD.

Things that I "WANT" to accomplish this year will be achieving the goals I have in mind.

1. Attending ALL church meetings
2. Pay a full tith
3. Getting out of DEBT
4. LOSING WEIGHT
5. Being a better person

There is plenty more that I need to accomplish this year that's just a few. I'm going to stay positive and live life to the FULLEST in 2010 cheers to the NEW year hope y'all have some goals set for this year!!

Spiritually Fed

My spiritual level hasn't been all that great, but the fact that I have a loving heavenly father to help me come back and never gives up on me is just the best feeling ever. I've moved my records to the singles ward for quite some time but since the move I haven't been as active as I should be. This past sunday I finally had the blessing and the opportunity to attend ALL meetings of the singles ward thanks to my sister's (Lupi & Ashley) for the extra push and encouragement to stay, and partake of his goodness. I know alot of the YSA's have looked down on the SL2nd ward, but to tell you the truth if they would just give the ward just one try they would absolutely LOVE IT. I've never felt the spirit so strong throughout the meetings I LOVE the feeling and hope that the YSA that are still attending the family ward comes and partake of the goodness in which I've been receiving I'm sooo thankful for this gospel and the understanding that I have, I'm FAAARRRR from perfect, but I'm willing to strive to be a better person. I LOVE my Savior and I'm grateful for his atonement for this I am able to repent of my wrong, need I say more the church is true and HE LIVES!! I wish sunday can be everyday.

Disney on Ice

Still no clue what the surprise is
"DOWN BY THE BANKS"
Waiting patiently
11/14/09

I've been slacking on blogging about the happenings in my life, I guess you can say I'm a busy woman LMBO (or at least I think I am LOL). Anyways last week saturday I was able to attend disney on ice with my little sister and the diva's (Melenaite, Ruby, Morena, Ailini), and Aiona (Liki) her daughter Sioana, and niece Beeps. Can I just tell you that I've been waiting ALL week to attend this hence the fact that this would be my first time at the Energy Solutions building and attending disney on ice. So therefore I was like a little kid in a candy store all excited for the show.

The cute thing about this whole "SURPRISE"<<<<-------according to my nieces (something my lil sister Silia does for her girls, she doesn't tell them where they're going until they get there)and that's something I plan on doing with my kids when that day comes. Anyways Silia and the fun bus came on over and swooped up Ailini and I and off we went to the energy solutions building. So we get there and we go inside to pick up our tickets, we had an hour to kill I believe so the girls start running around then we tell 'em to sit down, next thing you know you hear the girls singing down by the banks of the hanky panky so dang cute, cause by this time the beautiful little girls have caught the attention of the workers and people that were waiting to, I KNOW the other kids wanted to join LOL. Well the time came, to scan our tickets to go in the girls getting a little more antsy as the guy scans our ticket he say's who's ticket is this they can't go in, I hear a quick response "Peanut" (Ruby) says oh that's not my ticket LOL it was too funny and cute at the same time cause I can sense the excitement yet they still have no clue why we're there. So we climb to flight of stairs (which with a bad knee is sooo not good LOL), and the minute you walk in it's disney princess EVERYWHERE, I couldn't help to laugh when I hear the little voice of "Peanut" say to my sister "MOM ARE WE IN DISNEYLAND" such a cute little remark and I hear No peanut you'll see, talk bout souvenir's galore LOL, and the prices were outrages LOL just wish I had the funds to get the girls a few little things but it's all good they understand (I hope). Well we finally make our way to our seats and WOW is all I can say seeing the castle on the ice was to dang cute, but what was even cuter was hearing the girls scream their little guts out when tinker bell came out on the ice, such a wonderful show. I think this totally needs to be a traditional event...Thanks Silia for letting me sidebust with you and the diva's Love your guts until next time!! P.s. Can't forget the laughs with Aiona freakin' crack up!! WOOHOO WE LOVE IT

10/30/09

So I decided thursday night that I would go with Silia and the diva's to go on a Witch Hunt at Gardener Village. And so I sent out a text message to one of my co-workers (Merridy) to please tell the boss that I will be using PTO for FRIDAY (Oct 30, 2009), I mean I thought I deserved the break to and Lord KNOWS I sooo needed it, especially with the knee problems and whatnot. Anyways so come early morning friday I kinda slept in til 8 a.m, only cause mom came into the room to ask me if I'm going to work, I was quick to respond NO I'm going on a witch hunt with silia and the girls and I'm gonna take Lini with me LOL. With that being said I jumped up and jumped into the shower and got ready, funny thing is sinai's twin boys (Brydan & Gideon) was excited until I said to them sorry boys this is only a girls adventure and all I can here is AWWWW that's not fair. Well I didn't quite fall for that so I said boiz maybe next year for now it's just a girls day!! Anyways we (Lini & I) headed on over to meet up Silia and her triplets at her house and head on over to find the witches. Man all I have to say is my little sister is such an AMAZING mother especially finding little things to do with her girl's to keep 'em close I LOVE how she is with her girls, never seems to surprise me with the little activities she has with them, and I'm soo glad she invited me and Lini to go with them on this witch hunt (I wanna be just like her, when I have kids:)!!). Anyways the minute we got there it was FREEZING but that didn't stop us, this being my first time there I FELL in LOVE with the place such a CUTE place. We had found all the witches and when we were done we headed on over to the bakery for our $.25 cookies along with a donut, muffin top and other goodies LOL!! We then headed over to Chili's afterwards for some real food especially the paradise pie:)...this day was sooo worth taking it off, Thanks little sis for allowing me to join you and my beautiful nieces ON THIS WITCH hunt can't wait til the next hunt, this time we'll bring the boiz!!

Silia's turn with the girl's and the finished list
"WILL CAST SPELLS FOR CHOCOLATE" Love it, Me and My beautiful little sis!!
Me and my babygirl (Namesake Morena)
YAY we're done...and ready for our cookies:)!!
