ʻAha Mele 2014

Everyone from Hawaiʻi knows that Song Contest has been a long-standing tradition of Kamehameha Schools.  Broadcasted live across the state of Hawaiʻi, each high school grade level performs three songs: one girls' song, one boys' song, and one combined number (except for the Freshmen, who sing only a combined song).  All songs are performed a capella, typically in 4-part and sometimes 8-part harmony.  While three Song Contest judges count their tallies and determine who wins each of the six different awards, the Hō'ike commences.  This portion of the show features select students who perform hula and additional mele. Then the winners are announced and the night ends with lei after lei after lei after lei... until students can barely see over tons (literally) of lei around their neck. Almost like graduation.

Since I made the decision to fully immerse myself into building Favoritism Photography & Design, I have been busy busy busy! The fact that I didn't post anything last Friday should be enough evidence. (Btw, I do apologize for that!)

So I've made the executive decision to do an easy post this Friday and give you nothing but sweet photos.  =]

FOMO & things I have yet to do on Maui...

One thing that makes us Mauians take living on an island for granted, is the lack of things to do here.  Oh, we've all said "Maui is so boring!" at least once or twice (a week).  Why?  We have just a handful of good shopping centers (only one true MALL), a 'barely there' club/night scene, and the only places that stay open past midnight are Safeway and the McDonald's drive-thru.

I'm not joking.
