Hello Edna, aloha! Welcome here in the beautiful island of Maui, a place where they called paradise, and it is indeed right? Sabi ko naman sa yo napakaganda lalo na ng sorroundings dito everywhere you turn you will be amazed, sorry now lang kc ko nag log in sa VJ been busy for like weeks na yata di ko tuloy nabasa yung first posting mo na you got your visa now, I'm always hanging out kc with my husband now that he's back in school, I met few filipina teachers there and they've been so nice to me, welcoming me and now I don't feel sad anymore kc finally I was able to talk to a fellow filipino here, sabi nga nila, there are a lot of filipinos here, yung lang nga you have to approach them and ask if they are filipino kc yung iba mixed hawaiins or marshallese but they look filipino too, yung others naman they grew up here kaya di na ring marunong magtagalog, pero you know my nose is "bleeding" na rin ka e-english dito everywhere kc dapat english language mo pati sa bahay yung hubby ko minsan di ko maintindihan yung english nya kc slang, buti na lang lagi nya ko ask if naintindihan ko then he'll repeat it and then slowly na, tpos lagi nya din me teach how to pronounce words na american accent ba, kc iba daw english accent natin mga pinoy, he's right para nga naman maintindihan din nila tayo diba, tapos lagi nya din correct grammar ko but in a nice way naman, tama yun for me, important talaga now that we're here in the US, we have to talk or speak like them in order for us live and work here successfully diba sis? So, enjoy sightseeing ka muna sis ha, ako medyo sanay na kc one month na ko dito but everyday lalo na pag may bago place or another island kmi punta I can't help padin to be amazed sa ganda ng mga places dito pati birds dito ang gaganda and minsan halos lumalapit pa sila sayo, pati nga pala sa honolulu when we went there sobrang ganda din, dun sa famous waikiki beach dami din magaganda tao everywhere na naka bikina lang...he.he.he..sana may friendster ka, I posted my pics there pati beautiful sorroundings dun nasa friendster ko, para makita mo, but I'm sure makakapunta ka din dun sa honolulu, tell your fiance punta kayo dun, 30mins lang by plane, kaya calling ANN(Jego-Ryu) bilisan mo na punta dito para malaman mo din ang ganda ng maui at ng buong hawaii at mag reunion tayong tatlo ha...he.he...he. keep in-touch ka naman din Ann ha..,,, cge Edna, just call me or email me ha....again enjoy your stay here and Aloha!

Mahalo,
