We got a wonderful Christmas present from our accountant last year, it's a custom golf balls that he custom made with his business name on it. It really well made. It made me think that I will do the same for this coming Christmas, some golf balls and also other stuff customized to fit each clients character.
We are excited for our Family reunion trip to Kauai next month. It's been 4 years that we have not visited the island, meet some of our relatives. We're looking forward for this wonderful occasion.

We did this trail for the first time last Tuesday May 24. After the trail head you will practically see the route you will be taking. This is a classic hike going up and down the valley ridges which make this hike fun. Climbing the boulders make this hike exciting for me.
Today we're running out of time since we started the hike mid-afternoon around 2pm and we have things to do by 6pm so we did not proceed to the Lanipo summits, we trekked 2 miles in. I can see the last climb to the summit. That will be another reason for me to check it out sometime soon with the group.

One night I fell asleep while watching TV, by midnight the sound of TV woke me up. Usually after 12 midnight it's mostly infomercials about anything but mostly about adult things like ED treatment. So if you want to find out more information about it by clicking the link.
My family is excited for our fun day tomorrow; we are going hiking on this trail. I wish it will be a good fun hike because some of the people are bringing kids and I heard that this trail is not for kids. We are also hanging out at the beach after the hike.

We hiked "Koko Head" after we hiked diamond head. It was pretty fun but I will advice you to hike diamond head as early as you could, as much as possible before 8am or you will regret and might not enjoy it. For me its a fun hike the only complain I have is we had started late and that day was hot. I felt like the sun sucked up all my energy and I felt drained for days. I am ready to do it again though, maybe next weekend.

We love going to the beach during this time of the year. Here in Hawaii it's usually sunny and windy especially when we go to our favorite swimming spot in the island which is windward side. Having an umbrella stands really help us a lot because it really holds on to our big umbrella. We usually stick it to the sand before but when the big wind gust comes it blew away, we have been looking for real solution, good thing we found it and we're happy.

I'm a novice hiker, I'm looking forward to be a pro hiker and I'm loving being a hiker and close to nature. I have a good friend who I can call as a pro hiker, I am a reclaimed hiker because of her.
Koolau mountain range has so many hiking trails that you can connect most of it. As a novice hiker in Oahu, given the opportunity, I come to check the trails that can be connected. I keep checking Kuliouou which from the lookout on the right you can connect to Mariners ridge, on the right it will go to Puu Kona and Hawaiiloa.
As I was checking the visible trails from Mariners ridge it looks scary to a novice like me especially I am a little bit scared of falling but one day I will brave it with a good friend, that's the plan. But first I will make myself used to cliffs and gather good hiking equipments.
I know I can do a little bit extreme but need to get used to it first and get the hang of it. Gotta LOVE Hawaii. 

 Diamond head is just a stroll on the park. It's a .8mile to the summit e560 feet elevation. My friends and I decided to trek this short trail one Sunday morning we had so much fun but of course it only took us lee than and hour going up and back with all the picture stops and rest. So we decided to head to another trail after, it will be on my other post. This became a very interesting Sunday for us.

I am hiking with my family and friends as a form of exercise to keep fit and healthy. I am also introducing healthy food to our diet which is doing good so far. I also have scheduled an LP test or Lipid profile test for me and my husband to check our good HDL and bad LDL. I heard that Lipid Profile Los Angeles is the best in town so we did our appointment with them.
My family and friends are excited for our next adventure which is this coming Saturday and we will hike another mountain ridge. It will be another fun day with friends and hopefully that it will be a bigger group this time.

Trail: 2.5 miles round trip
Route: Waimalu exit at Pearl City, turn right to Moanalua Rd, turn lefy to Komo mai Rd follow the road all the way to the end and park by the gate.

This is a short 2.5 miles hike round trip but slippery when it's raining although the waterfall is very nice and flowing during wet season. It's best to come as early as possible if you want to enjoy the waterfall by yourself. At around almost noon time people starts coming and crowd the place. It was a fun hike and swim. The hike back up is really a killer.

Most of us do not like the thought of losing a love one. I had experience the pain of losing and planning a funeral when we lost my mom's parents. We we're sudden by the situation, first we lost my grandma and two months after we lost my grandpa. I felt my mom's pain and stress. I am surprise to find out that there are website that will help you plan for a funeral. It sound scary but it's the reality, the site will give you quotes of cost and what to do.

Hydration pack is good for hiking or doing outdoors. It comes in different colors, mostly holds 2 liters of water or less depending on your needs.
I am Happy that my husband is starting to love hiking, I just wish that he will not get intimidated with the difficulty of our future hikes and that he will enjoy every hike we take. He is excited that I got a new "Hydration pack" that could carry 2 litters of water. I want red but he wants black so I compliment his request. I have reasons why I want red, in case we get lost we could easily be seen because of the bright color we're wearing. I wish I could get me a red next month.

One of my friends is trying to build a website for her business. She ask me for some tips to help her get more traffic on her site, I told he to check out affiliate network and be one of their advertisers and she could make a deal with them. If things will go smoothly with her them I will also do the same way for my husband business website.
Looking forward for our weekend activity and hoping that it will not rain that the ground will be a little bit dry in time for our hike to Manana trail traversing to Waimano waterfalls. My husband is excited because he wants to see waterfalls and take a dip.

It was a stressful day to begin with. I have a mid-shift today, I have a few hours in the morning to stay online and do some stuff. I was writing a post on my blog when I'm about to post it my domain name was in-active. I freak out and started looking for numbers to call, I almost called goDaddy, good thing I double check my account and find out that it's hosted by eNom. The CS reps are Angels they are able to help me restore my domain name. Thanks Heaven, was stressful but at least I got my domain back! cheeehooooo!

My husband and I love the outdoors so much although there are activities that we don't do together due to conflict of interest. He love fishing with his boat and I don't like the boat ride but I love to fish so sometimes we do shoreline fishing.
I love to hike; recently he comes with me and loves it too. We usually hike on Sunday, sometimes with a group of friends. Since he is doing a lot of outdoor activity I am planning to get him traser watches that he could wear while doing the outdoors.

Our plan was to do the "Bisectual" route but ended up doing the loop winning the majorities vote. Good during summer time. Muddy and slippery on winter and spring time especially when it rains. It was so windy and drizzling today but we continue on our hike.
It's a nice stroll in 5 miles woods, you can see H3 freeway from the top. If you do the loop it looks like a never ending trail. It gets humid especially when you are down the valley but exciting because any moment you will be in parking lot.

This is my deodorizing trick. I put coffee beans on vase and have it on our kitchen counter near the stove and also by the sink counter. It helps eliminates odor from cooking especially the strong fish odor. We love to fry fish once a week during Sundays. It is proven in my case because our home does not smell bad. Well our home is well ventilated but the coffee beans help absorb the bad smell faster and keep your home fresh.

I wish we could visit my husband's family in Texas and check out if we could all move in one state. I heard from my sister-in-law that properties in Texas are cheaper than Hawaii and they don't have tax on some stuff which is a plus. My sister-in-law just got a house with a pool and a hot tub. We love pools and hot tub especially when it has pentair pool system. My niece just sent us a picture of them having fun in the hot tub with my mother-in-law.

I do not care for energy bars. What ever the promise and claim that it's healthy for me its not when you check the labels it contains sugar. Avoid the energy bars and go on nuts, roasted is good and raw is better. To satisfy my sweet tooth I make my own "sugar coated" nuts, I use less amount of brown sugar that what its calling for. Let say it ask for a cup of sugar instead I put 1/2 cup or switch to low glycemic "Organic Blue Agave" extract that you can get from bulk store.

Oh yes! I found this "mango tamarind" candy at a local store near our place. I cannot believe they sold this candy, it's imported from my "mother land" (Philippines). I am surprise that they have this combination, the two fruit that I love so much.
Back home when it's mango season; I can eat mangoes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Well let's count banana as my favorite fruit too. I even got banana chips in a local store, again it's imported from my mother land. A little bit expensive here but it's worth to taste a piece of home once awhile.

We pig out once or twice a week and eat the fatty and unhealthy, usually we do it on Sundays. We always eat fatty breakfast on Sundays that includes bacon, sausage, ham, eggs, spam to name a few. We also snack on salami and crackers, cookies, chocolate and chips. To end the day we usually have fried fish for dinner or something fat pork or steak.
In my case, I make it sure that with in the week I will have salads and veggies to balance my diet especially the "Fat Sunday". I also make sure that my husband will eat his veggies on the weekdays or a few servings of quinoa or brown rice.
