There was fun games and a jumping castle...sooo much fun! More on the agenda this summer: well I have a lot of things that involve volleyball and a lot of family fun. Not much...but I should stay occupied.

After The Project!

So I did great on my project! But I still want to write this blog, but it won't be about the Hawaiian Monarchy anymore. I want to start by telling you all about myself.
Well, I was born in Hawaii on the island of Maui! When I was about 1 and a half I was on an airplane flying to Dillon, Montana. I lived in Dillon for about 8 years. I still keep in contact with most of my friends, but mostly my best friend Holly Andersen who is the best cowgirl in the world. After 8 years of Big Sky Montana ,my family and I moved to Aurora, Colorado. I went to Cimarron Elementary school for my 4Th and 5Th grade years and I had the best teachers. For my 6th,7th, and my upcoming 8th grade year. In my 6th and part of my 7th grade year I experienced my 1st heartbreak. But, thats another story. My 3 biggest hobbies are Volleyball, playing the piano, and singing. I am very affectionate and very outgoing. When your reading this blog I hope you enjoy all of my experiences!

Enjoy my lifestories,
Lyric

Hawai'i Aloha

Hawai'i Aloha was written many years ago by the request of a Hawaiian king. This song unites the Hawaiian people. The song speaks of one's love for Hawai'i. It is sung at many occasions. It is tradition for everyone to hold hands, form a circle, and sway as they sing this song. Towards the end of the song, everyone raises their hands over their heads. During this song, the Hawaiian people are one.

Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono

Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka Aina I Ka Pono
The Life of the Land is Perpetuated in Righteousness

The song "Hawai'i '78" was written by Micky Ioane , Abe Keala, David Kawika Crowley. This song has special meaning to the Hawaiian people because it speaks of the land that was taken away.



Hawaii '78 Lyrics

Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
If just for a day our king and queen
Would visit all these islands and saw everything
How would they feel about the changes of our land
Could you just imagine if they were around
And saw highways on their sacred grounds
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each others eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our people are in great great danger now
How, would they feel, could their smiles be content, then cry
Chorus:
Cry for the gods, cry for the people
Cry for the land that was taken away
And then yet you'll find, Hawai'i
Could you just imagine if they came back
And saw traffic lights and railroad tracks
How would they feel about this modern city life
Tears would come from each others eyes
As they would stop to realize
That our land is in great great danger now
All the fighting that the king had done
To conquer all these islands now these condominiums
How would he feel if he saw Hawai'i nei
How, would he feel, would his smile be content, then cry
Chorus
Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
Ua mau, ke ea o ka 'aina, i ka pono, o Hawai'i
