Pseudo-Gift-giving / Poor Etiquette "Genuine (gift-giving) can only take place when no exchange of money is involved, or more precisely, when something is given without any thought of getting something back except the pleasure of giving and purest aloha." ~ George Hu`eu Kanahele hâ`awi papa he`e nalu Give for the sake of receiving a gift; trade, buy and sell. helu Counting. Refers to the graceless, offensive behavior of recalling past favors to get something back. The person so offended often returned the gift. kû`ai Trade. To return a gift immediately savored of trade, and cheapened the gift. When one had been given a gift in a bowl or dish, the container was kept for a few days before returned, filled with something. ku`aku`ai Give for the sake of receiving a gift; trade, buy and sell. maua Failure to return a gift. Mahalo Mahalo "Thank you", gratitude, appreciation. There is no precise equivalent of thank you in Hawaiian. As with Native Americans and other Polynesians, saying thank you upon receiving a gift was considered unnecessary and offensive. The unspoken grace and humility in receiving the gift "spoke" volumes. To give proper thanks for a gift, give a gift back, preferably of greater value. Each new exchange lends value, prestige and mana to all concerned, creating a positive spiraling effect generated by generosity and hospitality. Mahalo nui loa. Mahalo â nui. Thank you (not an exact translation) very much. `O wau nô me ka mahalo. I am, (yours) in gratitude. >> Hawaiian Greetings & Sentiments Sources: Pukui, Mary Kawena & Elbert, Samuel H., Hawaiian Dictionary , Revised & Enlarged Edition, University Of Hawai`i Press, Honolulu, 1986.

A Lifetime Cruise Hawaiian Cruise Colin Hartness An Exotic Hawaiian Cruise Trip by Colin Hartness Hawaiian Cruises are everyone's dream cruise to the Hawaiian Islands on an exquisite ocean liner. Being pampered from dawn to dusk with exemplary cuisine, entertainment and fun for all that too for a moderate sum on a Hawaiian Cruise is definitely something out of the world. An increasing number of cruisers and liners are now regularly calling on the Hawaiian ports as also at the neighboring islands of Kaua'i, Maui, Kona and Hilo. Hawaiian Islands, a cluster of 137, provide adventure sports, relaxation and a new insight to oneself. The islands make one wonder whether you are at land or at sea. Hawaiian Cruises transport you to a heavenly state. Because of the tropical latitude, the weather remains the same through most of the year. The eastern side has more rainfall while the western part is the dry land. Locals enjoy skiing and snowboard in the snow-covered areas of the Big Island. The Hawaiian culture is very diverse and almost every nation's culture is found here. Hence, any newcomer is automatically drawn into the Hawaiian culture, which is enjoyment and adventure. Honolulu is the capital city. It is believed that the first permanent inhabitants of this island had sailed in from the islands of Marquesas in the southern hemisphere between 300 and 800 A.D. Hawaiian Cruises along the different yet distinct islands provide an insight into the uniqueness of each island. Hawaii Island is a big one with Kilauea crater, said to be the home of the fire Goddess, Pele. Maui, once the sole property of the royals, is famous for its exquisite swimming spots. The rainbows across the cliffs and waterfalls of Honolulu are nature's splendor. In spite of the diversity the common thing of these islands is 'aloha', the spirit of welcoming. World know Hawaiian people for their hospitality and friendliness. They can mingle easily and in no time have others dancing to their music and enjoying themselves thoroughly with their cuisine. The Hawaiian Cruise enables the visitors to participate in the Hawaiian culture. The vacationing people get unlimited happiness aboard the floating cruise liners and fabulous treatment for little fare. U.S and Canadian citizens need both proofs of citizenship and identity to board Hawaiian Cruise. Proof of identity could be driving license, Government's identification card and in case of children between ages 6 to 17, a school identity card is good enough. In addition to these, a valid passport to sail is also necessary. Permanent residents of the United States need to have on them their Alien Resident Card (ARC). In cases of children traveling without their parents, the legal guardian with them should possess the parent's consent letter authorizing the minor to travel with the guardian, which is also important in case of emergency of any kind.

Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week

Mokihana’s Garden » Blog Archive » Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week Two Mokihana’s Garden A Mānoa Valley Wahine Writes of Past and Present « Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week One Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Class! » Mokihana’s Hawaiian Quilting Journey: Week Two I thought I’d come out the winner this week. And I did, sorta. Eventually. I got my new fabric all washed and ready and started cutting. Unfortunately, I musta been half asleep at the time, because I cut it wrong and had to go back to the fabric store yet again! Sheesh! Fabric 6, Mokihana O. However, the next day I was much more successful, and got my applique piece all properly cut out - Mokihana 1, Fabric 6. The following day I cut out my background piece - Mokihana 2, Fabric 6 (I’m catching up!). I carefully unfolded my green ulu applique piece and voila! There it was, waiting for me to baste it onto the background fabric. I think I should get a point for that. K’den. Mokihana 3 - Fabric 6. Then, the next day of quiet basting with my friend, I got the whole pattern basted onto the background! Pau! Mokihana 4, Fabric 6. Now I am ready to start appliqueing the pattern to the background. And I fully expect to have my score keep climbing! This is turning out to be a very rewarding project for me. I feel very spiritually connected to it, feeling a real connection to Hawaiian women years and years before me designing and quilting their own works of art. I couldn’t make it out to The Gathering this week. I was buried with work and a very large truck with a cherry picker and shredder attached to it was parked in my long, narrow driveway while a crew from Portland General Electric trimmed branches from the firs, maples, alders and willows away from the power lines. I was very disappointed that I couldn’t get out; it would have been a lovely day. However, there is next week. And I have a quilt square ready to be appliqued. The colors are just what I wanted and I feel so good about starting this. It is a song to me, and I am loving the singing of it.
