The Week Before Cupid's Holiday

Valentine's day approaches and the florists must be gearing up for this weekend. There is a much more important thing to celebrate though--a couple of birthdays on Sunday. Now that is something to look forward to! A huge bonus from that event is that it will give the family a good reason to gather, talk stories and eat.

The coqui frog may go into hiding when dry but will surely re-appear when there's moisture, which there has been a lot of over the past week or so now. We on the East side of the Big Island even have a flood advisory and high wind watch right now at the moment, although I see no signs of any foul weather...well, not yet..

I have waited long and have finally received the news that I had hoped for. Things are going smoothly and taking place with great timing, just as they should. I am fortunate and blessed that God has anointed these two events that are unfolding in my life right now. To the Lord all of the credit is due, for placing the events and people in my life that He has. It has and will continue to be an exciting adventure getting to network with old friends and make new ones, and ultimately help others in whatever way I can. We are all facing uncertain times, and I keep praying for wisdom and guidance while facing the coming challenges. It's comforting to know that God is in total control, and He will reveal Himself especially in tough situations.

I can't end this blog entry without mentioning the nifty thing that I just learned to do on my computer. I need not wonder any more what the button up on the top right of the keyboard that says "Print Screen/SysRq" is for. When you hold the "Alt" key and hit this key (just above the "Insert" key), it will take a screen shot of whatever you have up on the monitor. It's a must! Pull up MS Paint (by going to Start, then Run... type in "mspaint") and from the Edit menu select "Paste"...then voila! When would it come in handy? Well, I really wanted to get a picture of Barack Obama showing shaka to the Punahou band during the Inauguration parade but could not find anything...

Until I thought of looking for some free trial screen-shot software to download so I could capture a picture while watching the Inauguration Parade video. Good ole Google, led me to find out that this feature is built-in right on my PC!

Rainy Kind of Day

After a couple of weeks of dry, cold weather (and a state of coqui frog silence), the rain has returned. I must admit it's quite nice. I'm prompted now to make a blog entry!

Well, at the top of the things on my mind at this very moment is that I am close, very close to receiving news from a couple of different sources. Whether it be good news or bad I'm not sure yet, it's just hard to wait and I'm growing ever impatient. But it's good that these bits of news, or anything in waiting for that matter does NOT happen on my time or on my terms...but on God's. I'm presented with a chance to grow. Thank You Lord!

Another thing that the rain prompted me to do today was search through my computer hard drive archives. I came across this old video, from early in '06 back when we lived on Iwalani Street.
