     In the afternoon, I watched Notting Hill in the Maui Mall. I highly recommend this...it's a mix of comedy and drama. "Splendid!" as William would say to Ana. Sometimes he would say "Oopsie daisies!" when he feels clumsy.

     Do I still have flowers left to pick from this garden? This garden in which I planted the seed to which I cultivated this plant to bear the flowers I savor for its scent and beauty. Flowers to give full bloom... emanating beauty... flowers I adore to place on your pedestal... Leave me some flowers...leave me some flowers...

      Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands. Hold it in yours so it will always be within your reach.

    Try lifting some weights at 24-Hour Fitness. Yeah? What can it do to me? Well, just make it happen.

    At 10,021 feet above sea level, you can see a sea of clouds on top of Mt. Haleakala on Maui. The trip up there took us about two hours. I brought my friends there while on a visit from Oahu. Haleakala, the house of the sun, where you can view the most beautiful sunrise in the world. Perhaps I can say this..the only place on earth where the sun will take your breath away. Literally, if you have asthma, don't move swiftly because you'll end up catching your breath.
