The Bible in Pidgin?


I was introduced to pidgin by my ever loving granny. It happened as I was visiting one day and I was going through her books. I came across a book which she gave me called Pidgin to da Max which I thought I'd study it in case I ever went to Hawaii, which hasn't happened yet, but hopefully someday it will.

Pidgin, specifically Hawaiian Pidgin, is the slang speak of the islands, kind of like what some people would call ebonics. This is an excerpt from dakine book.

"Wen we neva have power notting, Christ wen mahke fo all us guys dat wen ack jalike God no matta. Dass da time God wen pick. Eh you know, nobody goin mahke fo one guy dat ony do right kine stuff! If get one guy dat everytime get good heart, maybe bumbye somebody go mahke fo help dat kine guy. But den God wen show how plenny love an aloha he get fo us, cuz same time we was doing bad kine stuff, Christ still yet wen go mahke fo us."

Back to the grind.

Well, thanksgiving break is over and it's back to school for Mr. Mando and many other students. I am so looking forward to the end of finals week next week. I have been so busy with a big never ending pile of homework, I will be glad when it's gone and I can focus more attention on other matters. Maybe even go over the mountains and visit friends! I was fortunate enough to see my brother this past weekend, which was a treat. I probably won't see him again till March, that is quite some time. At least there is email and the phone, and I'll be able to stay in touch. Well, aint no time for the jibba jabba, onward to conquer the Mt Everest of homework that sits and waits, like a lion stalking it's prey.

Troubling News.



There is something very wrong with the food industry. Hydrogenated and Partially-Hydrogenated Oils(PHOs), also known as trans fatty acids, are found in almost any packaged food product in America today. According to research documented and accepted by the FDA, these substances are very harmful, and contribute greatly to the increased risk of heart disease. In other words they are poison, just like cigarettes. The rise of the use of PHOs also coincides with the rise in obesity in the USA in the last thirty years.

Please take the time to read about this health risk.... Click Here.

Also being added to many foods is a product called MSG, which is falsely classified as a spice in America. It is in fact an artificially produced excitatory neurotransmitter. In other words it tricks the brain into thinking that food tastes better than it really does.

Please browse this independent research.... Click here.

I myself have been eliminating PHOs and MSG from my diet which is very very hard to do, because they are everywhere. However I am strongly opposed to the use of these products and I care enough about you all to make this information more accessible to you. I don't mean to be redundant :), because I know I already made a similar post earlier, but if you appreciate this information please leave a comment, and also if you don't. Thank you.

In Transition


These pictures are of the reception hall where our reception will be. Sorry it is in such a state of funk. The building was still under finalization when we walked through.
