If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
I love her character:
She’s smart,
She’s gutsy,
She’s witty,
And a dignified young lady
Worthy of a man of character
Such as Mr. Darcy.

It takes a step,
A leap,
A move—
Then an act
To deal with your battles.
Always consider hope and faith
In your artillery;
And victory will be on your side.
Everything is possible given time.
Life is a series of choices,
And few cameo of coincidences—
The plot isn’t made
Not until you choose to
And time agrees with you.
The doves are flock-walking
At a marked cross-walk;
calm and collected
They’re crossing the street,
fearing nothing.
The car drivers can’t do anything;
But to wait patiently—
They can’t honk horns.
It’s a no-no in Hawaii!
Besides,
The doves have the right way;
The car drivers can’t really do anything,
But to enjoy the sight
Of the law abiding flock.
How would you improve your community?
I volunteered preparing taxes for over a decade through the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii and for the Internal Revenue Service.
I did the same with the Leeward Community College of the University of Hawaii.
And I did it all at the lowest point in my life when I was sick and unemployed.
Modesty aside, I am proud of it not for myself, but for the community who embraced me and gave me the privilege to serve. Because if they didn’t allow me to be a part of such a noble thing, I don’t know where I would be right now.
It inspired me to go back and finished college so I can give more to the community. Truly, I am grateful for everything.
To God be all the Glory!

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?
Read a verse;
Say a prayer,
Sing a praise—
Give thanks for the grace
Of a brand new day.

What makes you laugh?
A joke, a parody, a good humor
Or any comedic act—
Makes me crack and laugh.
Laughter’s tender dose
Is what we all need
To balance the roughness of life.
