Appreciating Hawaii, the Place I Call Home

Why is it that many people think of Hawaii as the perfect location both for a vacation and to reside in?

Being born and raised in Hawaii, I have thought about the above question more than a few times. It was not until I traveled abroad that I realized how great these islands really are. Like every where else, life in Hawaii has its ups and downs, but altogether I have come to appreciate the place that I call home.

The Sunrise and Sunset

Much like many things in life, the perceived value of objects goes down when they are always readily available to you. It is not until these things are taken away that you understand just how precious they are.

If you have ever watched the sunrise in the wee hours of the morning on the top of Mount Haleakala over on the island of Maui, or even watched the sunset while on the west coach of any of the islands while you are being extra careful not to blink for fear of missing the elusive green flash, you know that these events are truly breathtaking. However, if you are able to see them just about everyday, you may take them for granted.

Not too long ago, I was able to visit the great state of New York. New York City was definitely a sight to see. The bright lights of Times Square with its countless shops and crowds of people was a lot to take in. Being cultured with Broadway shows and tours of museums and historical landmarks was exciting also. However, it is highly noticeable that the smog in the air forms a blanket where the sun cannot shine through well enough to fully adorn itself while it rises or sets. Also, the stars do not shine as bright as they do back at home. In fact, you were fortunate if you could count the stars in the sky and they numbered more than the number of fingers on your hands.

As great and majestic as New York City is, nothing is really as spectacular as a Hawaiian sunrise or sunset. If you have ever had the chance to lie on the beach in the evening after a day of surfing, and gaze into the sky as the sun appears to sink beneath the ocean, you know my sentiments exactly.

The Country and the City

Honolulu city lights do not quite match up to the city light of Las Vegas or Times Square, but Downtown Honolulu has a city-like atmosphere nonetheless. The wonderful thing about living on Oahu is having the city and the country so close together that it is like having your cake and eating it too. When I get tired of the city and the hustle and bustle of town, old Haleiwa town is just a couple of hours away where I can relax and enjoy a slower pace as I gather my thoughts at the beach.

Those were just a few of the countless things that I have come to appreciate about Hawaii. It is interesting when you are able to gain a different perspective of your normal and routine life. It really does not matter if you live in Hawaii or Hong Kong; there is much to be appreciated about the different places that we each call home. I now fully believe in taking time to smell the coffee, so to speak, so that I never take for granted the wonderful things about the place that I call home.

Laguna Beach, a Perfect Place to Call Home

What Would You Call This Sort Of Lifestyle, Boring Or Interesting?

I am 55 years old, married with one son, aged 25, employed and living separately.
I wake up at 6 in the morning. At 6:30, I am out with my bicycle for a 45 minutes vigorous ride to the beach and back home. I cover 15 kilometers or 9.30 miles
At 8, I have the second cup of tea of the day and go through two newspapers.
I have my shower at 8:45 and breakfast at 9:00.
I work from home, and I am at my desk at 9:15
At 1:00 I have my lunch and lie down for 30 minutes reading news paper. A short while later, I doze off.
After a half hour siesta, I have my tea and am back at my desk at 3:00 PM.
I work until 6:00 and then I go to a near by swimming pool for an hour of vigorous swim (40 numbers 25 metre laps.)
At 7:30 in the evening, I begin to have my whisky on my bedroom balcony. My wife and I talk about the day’s days events during that time. I also make a few phone calls to my friends.
By 10:00, I have had 240 ml of whisky, I am reasonably tipsy and have my dinner. At 10.30, I am off to sleep. Thanks to the whisky, the moment I put my head on the pillow, I go off to sleep.
(For those of you who may think my alcohol consumption is excessive, I have my LFT – liver function test – done every six months and my liver enzymes (SGOT, SGPT, GGT, etc;) are within normal range. I am not diabetic, my BP is normal, I am not overweight and I am in great physical shape. I eat a very healthy diet consisting of a variety of vegetable and fruits, fish and moderate amount of carbohydrate. I avoid red meat, eat very little chicken and our consumption of cooking oil (fat) is minimal. Alcohol is my only vice, but it makes me happy, relieves my stress and gives me a general feeling of well being. I don’t smoke)
I seldom watch TV.
On Wednesdays, I go to my Rotary Club meeting. After the meeting, I drink with my fellow Rotarians and discuss current evens.
Once a week, I meet my friends – one is a doctor and other is a professor – over drinks again, and come back home in time to go to sleep.
I used to go to my club twice a week, but now I don’t go much because I do not find the conversation there interesting. I find being with my wife more enjoyable.
I do not like travelling.
I have a beautiful home and lovely garden, and gardening is my hobby. It gives me great happiness.
I enjoy good health.
Now, what would you call this sort of lifestyle, boring or interesting?
Thank you for taking the time off to read this long post.

Should I Call It Quits With My Man?

He has done little things that we have talked about and discussed and promised we wouldn’t do such as drink while I am pregnant (the both of us not just me), go out to bars or anywhere late night without the company of the other, just to name a couple. We both tried to get pregnant and have talked about marrying each other and having a lot of kids. He says I constantly accuse him but lately thats all I can do because he has broken promises to me such as going out to bars without me when I myself haven’t done that to HIM, drank without me knowing when we get in fights ( he hid it under the couch when I walked in ), and I also caught him looking at spanish porn ( he is spanish I am white ) and I guess it made me feel super insecure because one I am not spanish and two I am pregnant! I guess I am upset because if he knows he is going to do these things he should A. not be with me since I dont approve and he wouldn’t of me either if I were doing those things and B. he lies and says he won’t, promises me up and down and there have been times I have cried over them but he does it anyway. We haven’t been getting along for quite some time now and over the weekend the following happend… I asked him to come to the beach with me and my daughter (also, he has let me know on several occasions she annoys him which hurts me because I am in luv with my pride and joy and SHE IS MY DAUGHTER!) anyway, he was super hesistant and I could tell he didn’t wanna go and I was upset so then later on he was like putting all these conditions on it like only if i pay for everything, get his oil changed, and his brother could come along. Well, this pissed me off because he made it so difficult and I was like you know what just forget it, but then all the sudden he mentions his brother can come along and he is SO excited. it pissed me off really bad. not because i don’t like his brother but because he didn’t think it would be fun with just me and my daughter! So we were fighting all night about it and he couldnt understand it had nothing to do with me not liking his brother and getting in the middle of me and his brother it was because my feelings were hurt. Okay, the ice breaker here is that I went to the beach anyway on the advice of my friends because he banks on the fact that I dont have a job or car and lost touch with a lot of friend since dating him… he thinks I will either stay home miserable or follow him where ever he goes… so I just went! He asked me where I was and I told him I had left for the beach (i hadnt told him because he was sleeping, we fought bad the night before, and he made it very clear he didn’t wanna go) and he was so pissed i left without him and he didn’t come along even though he previously said go without him! So i was like kay hope you have fun drinking with your boys while im gone and he swore up and down he wouldnt and that i needed to trust him. througout our day of texting his texts became more inchoerent and unreadable and he ended up getting plastered at his parents house which happen to live across the street from my mom’s house… and he was obnoxious incoherent and chose to ignore me after i was bitchin about him drinking. and this is after just a week ago he went to the bar when he said he wasnt and then ignored all my texts and calls! this is a really long one i am sorry.. i guess the ENDING QUESTION is How would you feel if you were in this position, what would you do, and keep in mind that DUH, i’m not perfect myslef, I do have a bad habit of not trusting and accusing and lately is gotten out of hand… but um… wonder why?! Anyway, thoughts and opinions appreciated. Please no douche bag answers.

21st February, a Call for Restoration of Democracy

There is no denying the fact that the movement of 21st February was a call for restoration of democracy for which the non-co-operation movements with the then rulers have been promulgated day by day to achieve independence as an ultimate target. Due to the fact, it was not only their sole desire to make Urdu as a state language but also there were many reasons behind it which may be reflected as Political and educational aggression, to pollute Socio-economic condition, to pollute cultural and traditional affairs, to occupy monopolies over trade and commerce, to handicap people under obligation towards submission, to surpass the people under tyrannous depletion etc and hence in regard to economical aspects in common life, the goods which were produced by our active people from our land and factories were taken to the West Pakistan and priced cheaply in that land but it was costly to us to consume. There was a great ambiguity in between the measuring of values made between the two countries and not only that in case of import and export of our commodities, such ambiguity was largely compacted. It is a significant fact that they led their efforts to suppress us every time in the field of economics ingrained in common life. It is evident from the past history that they used to exploit us in different ways for which they formulated the policies to disgrace us in tyrannical attitudes with which our people declared movement on 21st February and being agitated, they protested them against their attitudes and feelings for aggression and misruling. The movement of 21st February was only an agitation against the exploitation of resources in this country which was their object to occupy some how. They wanted to make Urdu as their state language in the sense that they liked to extend their hands for exploitation in respect of economics, commerce, language, education and traditional aspects involved in social and cultural life. Like British Empire, they wanted to torture in respect of mental, physical, political and social aspects ingrained in our common people irrespective of caste and creed. Bangladesh came into being as an independent state in 1971 from the emergent of the movement of 21st February. The movement spread as nation wide agitation and there is no doubt that our economic profile has been flourishing day by day and we can say that the 21st February is a milestone of our economic prosperity and political affiliation in the dimension of Bangladesh in the world map.

By our active movement, it is documented as International Mother language Day on 21st February in every year through out the whole world and it is consecrated by swaging flowers and holding the memories in the highest regard to those language martyrs who had laid down their lives for the cause of launching the dignity of our survival as a nation uprising our heads like other nations virtually. The 21st February is a red-letter day in the history of our mother tongue. It is a very significant day in view of good verdict that we have been able to pioneer our mother tongue as our state language. It is our glory and inspiration that we have accomplished freedom from the movement of this day. We think that we could not achieve our freedom if 21st February was not emergent in 1952. Due to the movement of this day, we have shown our agitation against the rulers of the then Pakistan. To speak the truth, the 21st February, as a symbol of blaze illumination is our rectitude for which our survival as Bengali nation has been reproduced through out the whole world. As compared to socio-economic condition of the erstwhile Pakistan, the recent economic profile so far data have been collected in due course has been enumerated as follows:

From the above view point, it is clear that after the emergence of Bangladesh such profile of economy either Micro or Macro has been achieved due to active intervention of our people in different sectors of development. This identity whatever we posses were not possible if 21st February was not created to retaliate the tyrannical boom of the then rulers of Pakistan. And as such, in this day some young persons of our country have declared indomitable movement to create confrontation against the conspiracy of our mother tongue. They have intensified the movement by degrees and being polemical, the then rulers have invaded them and ultimately they had shot them dead. This is such a movement where our heroes have laid down their lives for the cause of dignity of our mother tongue. In the whole world, such unparalleled movement has never been taken place. Like each year, this year has carried out this day with due somber mood and prominence and as such we celebrate this day with honour according to the heritage of the country. This day is mixed with our Independence Day as if it is mixed with our blood. The heroes who have laid down their lives for the cause of our equality, liberty and national prestige of our country shall remain ever memorable to us.

But the achievement of 21st February is being hampered to uphold with the heinous touchwood of terrorism and there is no denying the fact that being poverty based country; we are passing through a great threadbare against terror campaign, bribing, and dishonesty and embracing a cause of policies of disingenuous the people. The creator has sent people to the land with all crucial things fundamentally imperative for their endurance. God has also imparted upon them some rules for leading our lives controlled and cleanly and as such God has accordingly conferred upon some rules and directives so that human beings can show the way his life by following these instructions like complete code of every well beings of eternity virtually and ideally. If they go out of these rules, they become nonplussed what to do. Corruption may exist in rendering services in the field of private, public sectors and in leading normal flow of life. When a man degenerates himself, he stigmatizes himself by entering into the world of dimness as well as fallacious from where he can never get rid of. He commits crime, such as smuggling, robbing, murdering, snatching and dilapidation etc. Failure waits for him everywhere and even if, he is attracted by innumerable but deadly forbidden things. Being educated, he becomes addicted to evil works in society. He knows that it is the transient and allusion of worldly affairs, which has no eternal value in the real sense. In many times, it is observed that he becomes ambitious and many harmful activities are performed in social life. He knows that being corrupt and heinous work, the society cannot consider him as an evil person; never the less; every body is in the way to run after such forbidden things. In many times the terror leaders welcome him and encourage him to do the forbidden things. Thus a person becomes the leader of the country and occupies a very influential position in the society by doing all the forbidden things like bribing, mal practicing and thieving. Hence forth, it is seen that from every branches of the Government corruption is a common phenomenon for which the nation would like to lead a healthy life. Bangladesh is a highly populated country and as such the double entendre among her resources and needs are prevailing every time to a great extent. Due to shortage of wealth, here one-fourth people cannot satisfy their daily needs for which no one is satisfied with his family life. It is a very difficult thing for someone to get a job, as there are fewer vacancies in offices, industries and so on. When people cannot find any occupation or job for earning their livelihood, they do not get any alternative measures except committing crimes. So unemployment is a reason for being a criminal and the opportunist apply this sense in evil manner and influence him to do the job of mischievous and heinous deeds for which he remains depleted through out his whole life. In this world everyone needs a companion to live with society, friendship and love. That is why; people make friendship in the hope to have good fortune to deal future life. But every friend might not stand beside another friend in weal and woe. He sometimes pushes him towards danger and inspires him for doing anti-social activities, which is called ‘crime’. Therefore, being a criminal, he may be infected with the misleading people. Suffice it to say that due to frustrated socio-economic conditions prevailing in our country, our society of youths is leading very miserable life. They are creating hindrance and preventing the people from dealing normal life as they are sometimes no longer lost to play a role of terrorists as well as miscreants. Due to the fact that poverty is the indispensable reason for doing criminal assault on the part of the youths. Any person belonging to a poor family has to pass his days through hard struggle. He surely wants to develop his condition. On the other hand, for being poor, he does not get opportunity to be educated properly. Consequently, he cannot have any respectable occupation. At last, finding no other alternatives, he commits crime as his profession. If we are able to reach our goal as expected, it is universal that glory of success must wait for us in future. But we must have to work arduously for that golden opportunity. Otherwise our all hopes and aspirations will be nipped in the bud. No one cannot get salvation of ideal love and peace from God by following the path vices and misfortune. Dr. Faustus was an uncommon genius but by committing seven deadly sins with the exchange of his soul into the hell by taking 24 years kingdom in the eternal world had been thrown to the hell. Lucifer, the owner of the hail grew jealous of him for his talent and geniuses and made a deed by way of Mephistopheles with Faustus. Later, Faustus became lamented but due to his colossal crime, he was thrown to the hell for his misdeeds for long 24 years. That is to say, if a man is addicted to bad habits during childhood, he cannot get rid of from such criminal assault for which he has to repent on through out his whole life. Youth is the best season of good harvest and as such it is likes mild mud and henceforth, he needs to precede his life very carefully. Fundamentally, for these three reasons, we are loosing many brightly illuminated resource personnel to place them on the basis of ‘Right man for the right place’ of our country. We need to end all these frolicsome activities. We must come across some way to get rid of mischievous debris and save the bewildered people of our country. The Government also should take actions against such awful activities. First of all, the people here should be aware of the explosion of population and they must not possess more than two children. Secondly, we need to be careful about making friendship, so that we don’t have any bad company. And at last, we must have to recognize the importance of education and the teachings of 21st February. No matter how poor we are, we have to try our level best to gain knowledge. In this context, Socrates said,” Knowledge is virtue, from knowledge, virtue and goodness flourish; from ignorance, he said, all that is evil.”

We want all the ends of such mischievous activity from the social life. We should memorize the great sacrifice of the martyrs who had hoarded our mother tongue by dedicating their lives. Consequent upon this, we achieved the 21st February as an ‘International Mother Tongue Day’ in 1999. This is a great achievement in the world to show our best regards to our Bengali Language. It is a rare example in the history of mankind. Furthermore, the dignity of our mother tongue is worthy of achieving the highest honour as the poet in this language has been awarded ‘Nobel Prize’ and even in many European and American countries such language is taught and a certain part of the people in the world this language of their own accord. Many great men have been born in this beautiful land which is the best contribution of the world. There is a great history in the background of our mother language and this is highlighted through struggle in the history and for this reason our mother tongue has been mixed as if in our heart and soul through thick and thin.

In fine, it is evident that the 21st February was undoubtedly a call for restoration of democracy which is promulgated by the people, for the people and of the people. The Pakistani hoarders tried to loot our economy and freedom of survival; if we would like to preserve the prestige of Bengali nation, we need to pay great eulogy praise to the martyrs. They had laid down their lives for the restoration of democracy and freedom of economics. Their activities are undoubtedly of heroic deeds. If we dedicate ourselves for the cause of equality and liberty of our country, their departed souls will be peaceful and effulgence. In every year, we celebrate this day by showing homage to them and shower the flowers to the ‘Shaheed Minar’ in order to solemnize their memory and achievements contributed to the dignity of our mother tongue.

Doctors Call for Changing Antibiotics in Treating Gonorrhea

The rates with which new drug-resistant types of gonorrhea spread across the United States have accelerated so much that the doctors are now switching to new types of antibiotics to fight the disease. Among heterosexual men infected with gonorrhea about 6.7 percent in were infected with a drug-resistant type in 2006, while only 0.6 percent had the same diagnosis five years earlier. Men going to STD clinics for test are subjected to standard gonorrhea tests too, while the data obtained in these tests is monitored. The results obtained from such clinics in 26 cities display that drug-resistant gonorrhea was found in 26 percent of heterosexual men infected with gonorrhea in Philadelphia and about than 20 percent in Honolulu and four areas in California, Long Beach, Orange County, San Diego and San Francisco. The growth rates of such diseases among gay men were higher, with 38 percent in 2006 in contrast to only 1.6 percent five years earlier. In the course of 14 years, the vast majority of gonorrhea cases were effectively treated with a type of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. Today, many doctors start switching to another class of antibiotics called cephalosporins. But the doctors are concerned with the fact that there’s only one antibiotic class left to treat gonorrhea. And it is hard to say whether there will be another drug to treat the disease when it again develops resistance to the drugs currently put in use. Other diseases such as tuberculosis have recently leaped ahead in what concerns resistance to common medication and microbes like Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella penumoniae and Acinetobacter species give the doctors new things to worry about. In the The United States about 700,000 sexually active people of all ages and genders get infected with gonorrhea each year. Thus, gonorrhea is the second common infectious disease, chlamydia being the first one. There was no resistance to to the cephalosporins from gonorrhea, so the STD centers are now recommended to prescribe ceftriaxone, sold as Rocephin, which is administered through injections. Cefixime, or Suprax, are also recommended for use. The above mentioned drugs will replace the three drugs that are currently used for treating gonorrhea: Cipro, Floxin and Levaquin. Those who are allergic to cephalosphins, can consider using Zithromax, which is successfully used as an alternative to common treatments for chlamydia. Over the years, gonorrhea has shown a steady development of resistance to most antibiotics that were used for treating it. First these were sulfa antibiotics, then penicillin and tetracyclines after that. The centers responsible for STD treatment have frequently called against using fluoroquinolones in cases of gonorrhea because of the steady development of resistance in different parts of the world. Now with only antibiotic class left in reserve doctors worry about what happens next, when they run out of options. It is early to state that there’s a gonorrhea epidemic coming anytime soon, but what if something like that happens when gonorrhea develops resistance to cephalosphins? Nobody knows.
