Happy Birthday, Siena! A-lo is right... you are one ono wahine! Had I have been at your party, I probably would have shaken the dust off of my prodigious TEK powers.
Actually, I had imagined that your party would be more like this... :o)

i have to admit, my heart was breaking a little bit listening to this one. what an awesome line-up (GREAT program Toast!) and beautiful celebration...i wish i was there.
i'm hoping the above photo means there was also some video taken? KTSP & Fishergirl this is a shout out for more of the inside scoop!...was there any dancing? any iced tea bongs?...noted dignitaries like David of the PRNC trying to work their TEK powers? : )
alright,
Happy Mother's Day weekend all,
A-lo

A-lo,
Yes, it was an awesome line-up, and the girls organized a beautiful celebration! It was an honor to be invited and to be a part of it! We wish you were there too! It was just good fun and good times shared in an intimate restaurant filled with good vibes from all of Siena & Toast's friends!
The performers gave it their all, and all of them had beautiful things to say about Siena! Although I did not record any of the performances with my digital camera, the entire night was video recorded by the girls. There were sweet ukulele instrumentals, a cute song about a robin, cool covers of Stevie Nicks & Melissa Ethridge songs, a beautiful & inspiring song by Faith Rivera "Power of Now", touching songs by Christopher Kai with his inspirational keyboard playing (I hope to be able to play like that one day!), two beautiful hula dancers, and the surprise of the night -- a fun cover of "Good Enough" by the guys of the group Pumana!
A-lo, I'm looking forward to being there with you during your first live MAKENA experience @ Four Olives when you visit in June! :)

Sounds like a beautiful party...and looks like fabulous cake. I'm glad you had such a nice celebration Siena - you deserve it.
Toast - you shouldn't be making a face on Siena's birthday - tsk tsk :)
Don't sweat the un-PC comedy - your listeners are mature enough to know that it was not meant as an endorsement of all those opinions.
Gotta dash - cooking lunch for my mum and the rest of the family.

aloha and happy monday everyone!
s&t: again, hauoli la hanau to siena! your chrono age will never match your 'sense' and 'wisdom' age. methinks that has come from many lifetimes, especially your 'sense'. and mahalo for naming me 'listener of last month (april)'! i appreciate it! "cute voice"?? eh? i'm blushing again. also thanks for giving etolix entries into the contest. the pressure's off of her for now. maybe she'll feel more at ease wit da pidgin after she does her family reunion thing in hawaii come july. then she'll post video of her interactions wit da locals trying fo' buy local kine grindz! heh heh oh! it's been ages since i've listend to rap's poi dog w/crabs! boy did that bring back memories and i LMAO! "... mix it up wit her younga sistah ... avoid her muddah in da supamahket..." hahahaha!!! siena, your bday bash sounded awesome and toast, nice job on the program! it was aesthetically happy-looking and it was just so cool for you to write about the guests' relationship to you folks. i guess that's one benefit of being in the music business -- you can invite your friends and have a bday concert cuz they all perform. that must've been one heck of a 'happy birthday song' performance! loved the cake & pie descriptions (i know dobash as choco cake w/pudding for frosting) and the description of the handmade box! it's funny but it seems to end up always being about the food! YES!
a-lo: watched your other vid of pidgin attempts again and your mitty is just too funny! she steals the spotlight.
anyhows, it's been a golf weekend for me. starting friday i watched the 2nd round of the lpga michelob ultra open at kingsmill in virginia. michelle wie (hawaii girl) didn't make the cut so she didn't play on the weekend. but my two girls, annika and lorena, did and were leading the pack! i played golf locally on saturday so taped the round then spent the better part of sunday watching the last 2 days of the tournament on tape. the wheels came off of lorena's cart and she fell out of contention and ended up in a tie for 12th place, but my no. 1 girl annika won the tournament by 7 strokes over the field. this is her 72nd win of her career but the first time that she's ever won this event, known in the players' circle as the '5th major'.
ReCAPTCHA: Aurelio repeated (no, that's "a-lo repeated")
p.s. note on tita: the short form, tita, like what siena is familiar with is the townie pidgin form. "teetah" is more of a boonies pidgin form. on oahu, i hear "teetah" from da guys who come from waianae side and wailua side. heavy pidgin. just my 2 cents ... it's what i experienced.

My computer doesn't have a microphone (or atleast I think it doesn't) so I can't read my pidgin.
Anyways I added a pic of me to the It's a Makena World flickr group so people can see what I look like (I'm always curious about what other people look like :)

wohoo,
my copy of the LN magazine with S & T on the cover arrived today. it was NOT in a brown bag but rather the equally discrete manilla envelop. Thankfully my roommate (mitty) kept her paws off it...
so cool to see the "live" glossy of S & T on the cover. definitely pin-up material. mitty wants it to go up over her litter box...we compromised and now she's sitting on it (no Monkey Butt!).
i've read the article and Siena i do not think you sound new to the mainland (F.O.B.). to haole ears it just sounds like you both know a lot about Hawaii. I think anyone can read the article by going to the LN website (check past comments for link). It's really a great interview. Thanks for being so open in your answers. i think your honesty really helps a lot of people (self included : ).
Also, given that the current contest is taking multiple entries i do not want to assume there can also be multiple prize winners. i would like to donate my entries to the esteemed LPGA (Ladies Pidgin Group Ace) member-Mel : ).
*mel i saw you're girl this weekend all in pink pump a fist on the 18th! yaay!
*mary k. nice pic. thanks for posting it.
peace.

Hey A-Lo,
I think Ken pretty much covered it all! There is a video...
The party was pretty tame. No iced tea bongs. The entertainment was great! There were two hula dancers, but nobody else danced. Siena didn't shimmy or shake the sequins on her top, but she looked great! Toast fulfilled all of the duties of a good girlfriend, and made sure everything went smoothly...The cake was onolicious!! Yes, I ate two pieces, but they were small--I swear! *oink, oink*
I'm sure you'll enjoy finally seeing/hearing Makena *live* when you're here. Maybe the music, the weather, and the California girls will make you want to relocate! :)

Hey, Fishergirl,
Amanda doesn't need to move any further west than Indiana!!!
I've got people all around me moving and I don't anyone else leaving the midwest, thank you very much!!!
It's good in the middle.
As long as you don't get hit by a tornado!
Thank God that hasn't happened here.
Yet. . .
Amanda,
I do believe Mitty and Cubby are related somewhere down the line. I can't talk on the phone or be on the computer without her head butting me or just butting me. Crazy animals!!
Siena,
What a lovely party. I would soooooooooooo love a party like that. All the music. Slack key guitar!!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Karen did make my 50th pretty darn special!!! No live music, but all Hawaiian from the DJ! My personal selections. My brother set up a "chocolate fountain", everyone wore Hawaiian apparel. It was really nice.
Karen’s 50th is still two years away. She wants to cruise the Rhine, or do a French wine tour. I better start playing the lottery. . .
We are celebrating Elizabeth’s 3rd birthday tonight. Now I bet that’ll be a happenin’ party. Maybe I’ll bring my guitar. Yeah, that’ll piss her father off. And, my ex-husband.
Oh, this could be fun!

eh anela: thanks for explaining the "ne ne" and "moi moi" (see comments from previous podcast) especially cuz i was the one who asked what "moi moi" was. i am from hawaii but i've never used "moi moi." what's worse is that i am part-hawaiian! i guess that's how mish-mash hawaii is. whatevah, as long as we undastan what we saying and can communicate!
i looked up 'standard pidgin' on the web and the search gave back a wikipedia page on Hawaiian Pidgin. check it out!
a-lo & mitty monkey butt: thank you for your generous donation of contest entries. i gladly accept em! yah, my girl annika won the tournament bogeying the last hole! that's the kind of dominant lead she had, such that she could card an extra stroke on the final hole and still win the tournament. i love watching her get out there, play her game and blow away the field. all while keeping a cool like no other. i can only aspire!
ken & fishergirl: great coverage of siena's bday party. ken, siena didn't say what kind of sprinkles cupcake you brought that she inhaled -- what kine was it? "there is a video..." well, bus' it out and post the link! the party wasn't in vegas so you can share!
nobby007: aren't you from hawaii? how'd you end up in Galena, IL? or would you rather not say? brr-r-r-r!!
ReCAPTCHA: is depressing (snow in spring is! brr-r-r-r too!)

Ok so just to clear up all the name mystery... I, Myra, am the banana bread maker. Jill, my gf, is the guava pie maker. And Jen, my straight sister and an AMAZING chef, is the bday girl who celebrated at Four Olives last year. And I must say... great memory, Mel! :)
Hi Mel,
The Sprinkles Cupcake was a strawberry flavored one. The last time I brought Sprinkles, Siena mentioned to me how she felt that the strawberry was her favorite. Previously, her favorite was the Red Velvet. The strawberry is my favorite too! Tastes just like my favorite strawberry ice cream!

oh no, Mel, are you okay? i couldn't believe the news yesterday. Annika Sorenstam is retiring from the LPGA? I think the world really might be ending...
no really, it is sad. she's still in her prime. do something extra nice for yourself today okay?
peace.
a-lo
*for anyone who doesn't know LPGA = Ladies Professional Golf Association. Annika retiring is kind of like Tiger Woods calling it quits.

myra: thanks so much for putting names to the people who are going on the chart etolix is going to put together! (etolix -- less research now! big help, eh?) i thot your name was myra or myrna, lidat, but what i do remember is that you use pecans in/on your banana bread, not walnuts, cuz walnuts have that slightly bitter taste. same here ... if i don't use mac nuts, which is always my 1st choice, i use pecans. i don't dust the top of the banana bread w/nuts tho it looks more ono that way!
ken: did siena even know it was strawberry? from her description, sounded like she inhaled it. fwoop! gone! so i'll take your word that it's ono enough to be your favorite.
a-lo: i'm okay ... thanks for your concern. her announcement shocked the chit outta me. i'll enjoy watching her for the rest of the 2008 season tho. she's had a terrific career in competitive golf and i've always enjoyed watching her play. i'm glad i got to see her play once in person, earlier this year at the Fields Open at Ko'Olina.
while that shocked me off balance, this knocked me off my feet: justine henin, world #1 in tennis and another favorite athlete of mine announced today that she is burnt out and retiring, effective today! wtf? what's going on here? anyway, justine is my favorite tennis player even from when she wasn't #1 in the world. she's small compared to the field and she plays a 1-handed backhand, a wicked one!! i'm sad to see her retire suddenly and right before the french open. *sigh*.
siena & toast too: anela's comment was the last on the last podcast, ep 60. i saw the count go up after you folks posted ep 61 so i checked and there was her comment! i'm poi dog: chinee/japanee/hawaiian/haole (english/irish) but appearance-wise i pull strong asian. my sistah look hawaiian/chinee and we no look like we came from same family even. that's hawaii genetics for you!
queen: happy birthday! hope you had a blast of a celebration!

hey everybody! Hope ya'll are having a great week. So, I'm a little slow again this week, I just listened to the podcast. Sounds like good times were had by all at the birthday party for Siena...WOOT WOOT!
S&T:I was totally surprised to hear you guys read my sentence on the podcast. You had my 15 year old brother literally rolling on the floor lauging his ass off because he knows I soooo do not talk like that. Also, in case you're still curious...I was born and raised in Seattle but my family is from the friggin' boonies of kauai plus I have friends from eva beach, waipahu, haleiwa, etc. Not sure that qualifies me to do the pigin thing but I thought I'd give it a try.
Day-um..I'm goooood! hehe...jus'kiddin'.
A side note about "birff-day"...my grandmother is japanese and she used to say "baif" (rhymes with waif)which I'm assuming means "to bathe". It used to crack me up when my haole friends would call when I'm in the shower and my grandma would tell them "she stay baif-ing..try call back lay-tas". My friends would be like "what were you doing? Baif-ing? HUH??!"
Happy Belated Birthday Queen!
I'm a fellow Taurus too! Yay for all the Tauruses!!(???) what the heck is the plural for Taurus? Tauri?...anywaysss, have an awesome rest of the week all!

hulabaybee, thanks for the laugh, that's way too funny about the baifing. : )
queen- a very happy and very belated birthday! sounds like you had a productive day in the yard, kind of like a grand Spring celebration. please post pictures.
mel-urrg. i wasn't expecting that one either. hate to see these young women retiring so early from basically burn out. Justine Henin is one of my favorite players too. i hope these sports really take a look at the schedules they're asking these players to keep. seems a symptom of an overplanned, overscheduled "doers" society. i wish they'd let them be athletes...not rock stars.
hmmm, a Sprinkles cupcake adventure...okay, i'm in! i think i'd like to see where exactly in their bodies all the food goes. i understand that S&T are very petite. i keep looking at the little convenience store height chart (the thing they have painted on by the door in case they get robbed) .every time i pass i think maaaan i'm going to be a giant. i'm 5' 9. they're what? 4' 10?
And yes! i am a cereal girl. if there's a baggy of Froot Loops, i'm a happy girl : ). i'm hoping etolix can give me a crash course on food appreciation when she's in town (next weekend yaaaay!)
take care all.
a-lo
queen- a very happy and very belated birthday! sounds like you had a productive day in the yard, kind of like a grand Spring celebration. please post pictures.
mel-urrg. i wasn't expecting that one either. hate to see these young women retiring so early from basically burn out. Justine Henin is one of my favorite players too. i hope these sports really take a look at the schedules they're asking these players to keep. seems a symptom of an overplanned, overscheduled "doers" society. i wish they'd let them be athletes...not rock stars.
hmmm, a Sprinkles cupcake adventure...okay, i'm in! i think i'd like to see where exactly in their bodies all the food goes. i understand that S&T are very petite. i keep looking at the little convenience store height chart (the thing they have painted on by the door in case they get robbed) .every time i pass i think maaaan i'm going to be a giant. i'm 5' 9. they're what? 4' 10?
And yes! i am a cereal girl. if there's a baggy of Froot Loops, i'm a happy girl : ). i'm hoping etolix can give me a crash course on food appreciation when she's in town (next weekend yaaaay!)
take care all.
a-lo
Amanda! Froot Loops!?
Next weekend, eh? Let's see that would be Saturday the 24th. . mmmmmmm . . any trips to Indy planned?
And, yes, I do believe you will tower over our little Hawaiian-Asian hotties. You towered over me and I'm a whopping 5'2"!
Well, I think I have all the flowers planted now. Ones we bought, ones from my mom, the two rose bushes from Matt, Cathy and Elizabeth.
Oh, and speaking of Elizabeth, Today is her offical 3rd birthday.
Whoo Hoo! She's such a little cutie!!
Ya all have a great day!

Hulabaybee and a-lo thanks for the b-day wishes............ A-lo I will post pics when they all start a blooming ok? Happy b-day wishes go out to little lizzie! and i will be back to post comments........... I just had to share (still don't know how to post a link so you need to copy and paste) the sacrafice Bush is making in honor of all of the loved ones of soldiers who have died in this war! check it out http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0508/10314.html
Maybe about a half-hour ago, the CA Supreme Court overturned our voter-approved ban on same-sex marriages. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080515/ap_on_re_us/gay_marriage_13
In essence, common sense has prevailed.
It's a little nicer to be in California today...

Of course, cynical bastard that I am, I can already see the comments flying all over the place on the other news forums I post on and fully expect some obnoxiously Christian advocates to go f-ing insane until the November elections. However, I do see something getting on the ballot which temporarily overturns today's decision until it goes to the Federal Courts & Supreme Court.
The forums and comments sections of the local papers are full of: "It's a lifestyle choice!", "What, do I get to marry my dog now?", "Watch, roommates all over the state are going to apply for tax relief!", "You and your supporters are all going to Hell!", "You gays won't stop until you get one as President and make sodomy the national pasttime!", etc.
Frankly speaking, what a load of BULLSHIT...
Why do so many people feel so determined to ruin the lives of decent people who just want to be in love and have that recognized just like any other marriage?
Damn, it's tough to be right and have to battle so many ignorant opinions all the time but thank God I so enjoy the conflict and openly invite folks to say stuff just to make me go off on them...
ReCaptcha: sooner Marconi. When will this no longer be an issue? Hopefully, sooner Marconi!

Mel, I don't have the video. S&T took it so they could filter out all of the XXX parts! ;) Not really, but they do have it, and I assume they're editing...The party was NOT in Vegas, but I'm going back to Sin City again tomorrow--wish me luck!
Queen, Happy Belated Birthday!!!
Sorry to hear about these kick @ss athletes getting burned out and retiring. I, on the other hand, am excited to see Lisa Leslie back on the court this season!
Myra, you're the banana bread queen (BBQ?!)! Is it a secret family recipe? ;)
For those scraping ice off of windshields still...I'm sorry! It's almost 90 degrees in LA today. Would love to be outside fishing...instead of behind a desk. :P

OK first of all Mahalo girls for another wonderful podcast! It truly brightens my days and gives me some laughs too.
Apples…. I prefer and will only eat Golden Delicious apples, have you girls tried those?
The mucous lessons were much appreciated as well thanks!!!! They were especially appetizing before eating breakfast!!!! Helps out with the dieting girls thanks!!! Lol
OK Toast remember next month when your birthday rolls around that you can do whatever you want for the whole month of June ok???
Girls if my cannuck version of pidgin wins you can mail my prize in clear wrap I don’t care who sees it!!!!
As far as the going to sleep phrases in French we say fais doo doo (the fais sounds like fa) and the doo doo does not sound like shit it’s a different sound than just the ooooo.. hard to describe.
Girls no matter if you have a set way or not as to how you will podcast it is always music to our ears…………
The party sounded awesome and you are one lucky girl Siena. Now it kinda makes it tough on you to outdo Toast’s party for you huh???? Hope you are making big plans lol!!!
And lastly I guess since you will be able to be legally married soon in the state of California when should we be receiving our invitations!!!! I guess we will all get to meet you sooner than we thought huh????
Fishergirl thank you for the birthday wishes………
Also glad not to be scraping any windows here anymore cool at night and nice during the days spring is welcomed here………….

Mel,
I was a military brat...I grew up in HI but I left before high school. I do still have family there and visit as much as I can.
It does suck being up here in the middle of corn and cow country because where I am there literally is no "scene", or anywhere to meet even a friend (We have 1 gay bar the size of a large bathroom and it is mostly men)...it is lonely as heck out here. Anyone wanna be my friend??? :)

Though the semester officially ended (for me) last Thursday, I'm still somehow waist deep in being busy. (Working all week to make some extra money so I can take A-lo to all the yummy places around C-bus!)
I feel extremely behind on comments, so apologies if I've neglected to respond to your comment.
The Chart-- I will have to go back through all the comments one of these days and pull together everyone's information (after I get a huge map of the world!) and get this chart up and running!
Henin-- I was totally shocked to hear that she was retiring. I never really got into tennis, but while I lived in Taiwan, I watched much of Wimbledon with my uncle and cousin and she definitely caught my eye. It'll be interesting to see where life leads her, especially since she's still so young.
Nobby007, how old are you? I grew up in Nashville, Tennessee and I've only heard of one gay bar there. I ended up in Columbus, OH for college and though I chose OSU for the scholarships they offered me and not so much for the diversity, it was one of the best moves of my life. Now, I'm here in DC where opportunities are plenty, plenty! In fact, I'm thinking about becoming a co-chair for the local Asian lesbian organization. It is definitely worth it to hit up some bigger cities, if only for a short visit. We GMG listeners are scattered throughout the country-- I'm sure most of us would be more than willing to tell you about the local scenes or even meet up with you!
Queen, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! With all the rain that's been happenin', it must've been nice to be out in the garden on your birthday!
Golden Delicious apples are my favorite. The best ones are the ones picked right off of the trees!
S+T, looking forward to those wedding invitations! :D

etolix & Queen - I am 29, Filipino (like Siena only without the other races...) Galena, IL is actually (if you are looking at the state on a map) at the very, VERY north western tip. 8mi. from the border of WI and 12mi. to the border of IA. I was in the "liberal" east coast where I had a wonderful career @ UPS in Jacksonville, FL before I moved up here (Don't ask why...I HATED, FL it has no seasons!) . Now, I work for John Deere....I know, I know...I am just one big freaking "stereotype," huh? Although, I am not butchy, or dykey or femme...I like to call it chapstick lesbian...HA, HA!!! Thanks, for the welcoming thoughts and friendship...much aloha!
S & T - since we are sort of on the subject of pidgin...why not talk about the slang words...like: (excuse the spelling)
Hammajang - all messed up
Trychout - try and watch out, this one could be like Jeff Foxworthy's redneck words...

"fee fi fo fum..." this is "giant" a-lo here. i think i have an answer to the height problem... (no it's not really a "problem" just something fun to throw around). I figure at least part of the time i'm with S&T we will be rollin'. (That's haole hip speak for walking and looking cool). AND when there are distances to walk...i am in MY CHAIR (wheelchair)! i will then be 4'5 or something and THEY will be...well, they'll still be petite but mini-giants! oh the complexity...
hmm. trips to Indiana. LMIT i'd love to but uh, gonna have to wait til these gas prices go down. yikes! ouch! BOING! at the pump. Happy very belated birthday to Elizabeth. I hope her Uma and TuTu followed directions well and made strawberry bread and built forts with her. : ) See it's something about that strawberry. it knows no age Siena, Etolix (ice cream), Elizabeth...eternal bliss : ).
Nobby007- LMIT (Bonnie) and i live in the Midwest (Indiana and Ohio) and have been able to meet up for a Girl Meets Girl(s) Day. Maybe next time you would like to join us? In any regard, count me among those who would like to be your friend. I think Queen says it best fais doo doo- oops,no, that's not it- "here we are all friends!"
ooo, yes, and Froot Loops, Fruity Pebbles, Frost Flakes (Gold) yum. Etolix don't work too hard. : )
also, not sure why... but thought i'd share, this weekend i am traveling home in a belated Mother's Day celebration. it's my goal to capture on video my feline sister Sabrina. one of the world's fattest cats! she's won an award in an artshow for her girth. my mom and i are going to the award show tonight : ).
yep. this is how we roll in the Midwest : )
take care all.

Amanda,
I understand about the gas prices. I would come your way. . but. . I have a funeral tomorrow morning, I take my niece and her family to Midway Airport Saturday afternoon, and of course, busy, busy on Sunday.
Please, I can't drive for more than hour without needing a nap. That means it would take me 12 hours to get to Columbus instead of 6!!!
Have a great weekend though!

a-lo and LMIT,
I actually get around the south west Chicago suburb of Matteson and Frankfort...I would love to meet up sometime whenever for whatever...I suppose now is the time in my life that I should try to "grow up" and expand my herizons....thanks for the invite...we'll see what happens...
Oh, and LMIT...I definitely agree with you on the liberal northeast...when I was in high school and college I used to go to New York City every year and I love to travel...and although FL sucks....Jacksonville was still better with regards to meeting people than here...oh well, you guys will just have to fill the void....;)

Nobby007,
That was Queen, I think, talking about the Northeast. I've lived here in NW Indiana my whole life. And, Frankfort or Matteson are only about an hour or less from Merrillville. And an easy shot, usually. Construction can suck!!
Chicago, I think, is a very gay friendly city. City employees have domestic partner insurance. Shoot, you ask someone in Indiana about Domestic Partner and they'll probably think it's a type of beer!!
