"Council member Romy Cachola continues to complain about potential noise and property value issues in his district. However, he is the council member who insisted the proposed route be shifted to his district and away from Pearl Harbor and Honolulu International Airport. The route can be shifted back, of course. THe Department of Defense and the airport would welcome an alternative to crowded parking lots and automobile gridlock."

Once again, I remind you of his editorial in the StarBulletin on January 9, 2007.
Stating how 122 residents sent in their approvals via Senator Sakamoto's survey. He himself said 70,000 - 80,000 live in the area. In his own own words "If this is not a strong indication of the community's sentiments, then I don't know what is." http://starbulletin.com/2007/01/09/e...mmentary2.html

I KNOW WHAT IS!! 122 residents does NOT represent the COMMUNITY'S SENTIMENT!!!

* Repealing my opponent's "Salt Lake Spur" segment of the rail transit route which most residents oppose as a noisy, expensive and unnecessary detour through their neighborhood.

Love and ALOHA,

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

It started the other day. An itchy throat and coughing. Yes...I was a victim of the VOG. Unlike others, I can't smell. Never the less, I the feel the effects too. And so I got worse. Fever, chills and green yucky galas. In my delirious state, I started to walk in the wee hours of the morning. Gasping for air and asking for more medication because I couldn't breathe. When the sun broke through, I was a bit better. PK told me to stay home. Never mind sign waving. Did I listen? Of course not. I'm stubborn. It's three days till Primary Saturday.

I collapsed.

Spending several hours getting examined, poked, and an EKG.

The verdict. I need REST.

I also told the doctor to re-check my foot. I felt an object was stuck in it. He injected my foot with Numbing Medicine but it was PAINFUL!! Nothing was there. He sent to have an X-ray....nothing was found.

Damn ting is what it was diagnosed with the first time.

Have a good day and don't forget to VOTE on SATURDAY!

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

It was a trip down memory lane today. Twenty-five years, I was a student at HCC. Taking courses through the Work Hawaii Program. Math and English before heading out to take Nursing School at KCC at the old Campus. Walking through campus and then to the cafeteria made me go back in time. Too bad I couldn't lose the weight too!

The Forum was interesting and Fun.

Romy of course the politician and experienced. Liliy and me we did well.

We stuck to the issues. No name calling or bad politics were done.

District Seven Candidates have Class!

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

Lynn, a great big THANK YOU for describing the screening test for bone marrow matching. A lot of people (so ashamed to admit, including me) thought it still required a blood draw.

Swabs in the mouth, huh? Pretty cool! Do you still have the contact info?

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

The Taste of Kalihi was a SUCCESS!

The Filipino Chamber of Commerce did an awesome job once again. Businesses, organizations, schools, entertainers, etc. combined their efforts to make it all happen.

Food Booths from one end to the other. So much to choose from. We decided on Fried Pork, Kalbil, Pancit and Rice. We sat in front of the Food Land Stage. The announcer called Rep. Joey Manahan to the stage. He asked him to picked an assistant to help with the cooking contest. Joey didn't look far, he smiled at me and called out my name.

"Lynn Vasquez-Dela Cerna, NB Member who is running for City Council - District 7!"

We were given Opaa (Big hunk of fish) and the use of vegetables and seasonings. Time 35 minutes.

It was FuN to cook and watching everyone from the stage! heheheh

The Electric Slide was electrifying!! Over 1,100 people. I took part in it. PK watched from his chair. ha ha ha

The best that happened ~ We were walking to our car. A woman stopped me and handed me a flyer. Not just any woman. I quickly gazed at the paper and told her "I no can, I'm sickly." She replied "It's for my Sister."

She captured my heart.

I found myself filling out a form to donate marrow. The test was easy. No pokes. Four q-tip swabs to swipe in da mouth. No pain at all. And if I past, what an honor it will be for me...to SAVE A LIFE!!

Love and Aloha,

Auntie Lynn

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

Best of luck to Aunty Pupule! I hope she wins the election and shows Hawai'i's politicians how it's done.

Just finished with the Democratic Region IV Meeting at HSTA Building. The Mayoral Candidates went first. George Nitta, Council Member Ann Kobayashi, Professor Panos and Mayor Mufi. Then it was Council Member Romy Cachola, Rep. John Mizuno and I. The hot topic ~ Transportation. Specifically, Rail Transit.

Neba mind what the mayoral candidates said. Same ting.

My opponent said his "Salt Lake Spur" was based on 122 people who took a poll.

I answered "Mr. Cachola wrote an Editorial in January 2007 in the StarBulletin which describes the amount of residents at being 70,000 - 80,000. And he based his decision on 122 people? "
http://starbulletin.com/2007/01/09/e...mmentary2.html

"Between 70,000 and 80,000 residents live along a 4-mile stretch of Salt Lake Boulevard, which includes the communities of Salt Lake, Aliamanu, Foster Village and Lower Halawa-Stadium. Approximately 50,000 alone live in the Salt Lake area. These numbers represent an established ridership base.

The Salt Lake community is solidly behind the proposed use of Salt Lake Boulevard. After Mayor Mufi Hannemann encouraged Salt Lake residents to speak out on this matter, I received 122 responses to letters sent by my colleague state Sen. Norman Sakamoto. Of that amount, 117 favored the Salt Lake alignment, three preferred the airport, one opposed fixed guideway and one was left blank. If this is not a strong indication of the community's sentiments, then I don't know what is." (cough,cough)

I've talked to my constituents in the area. Many are angry.

Speaking was made easy with the assistance of Rep. Mizuno. Of course, I had friends in the audience. Matt Lum, my Campaign Manager, Tony Gill, Moderator, Manong Ted Mina, da odda Ted, Flo and Peter from Democratic Headquarters.

I also talked about the issues on my platform.

Public Safety and Crime Prevention and Homelessness.

Time to rest. I'll be going to Taste of Kalihi when PK comes home.

Electric Slide starts at 7:30 p.m.

Love and ALOHA,

Auntie Lynn

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

I've found those "Fit Flops" really help inside on tile floors which we have in
the kitchen. Actually they work well on the carpet too. My hips hurt all the time and the support really helps. I've had bouts with foot problems and as everyone knows they are a real pain! Another good shoe is the Dansko clog
either open or closed back. I wore them when I worked and they helped on the salesfloors which were mostly hard material and sometimes even concrete. I have a pair just for cooking in the house.

Re: Uh-Oh! I think I just met Aunty Pupule!

Even though it's Hawaii, if you have nice tile floor in the house you live in, you really need to support your feet and legs with a good pair of slippers. I've had plantar fasciatis (sp?) and that was part of the reason why. Cool tile floors are nice, I agree, but you have to have indoor shoes to go with them!
