The Leaping Place For Souls

Juggernaut Log: Hawaii Edition 52

Chicken Skin (CHEE ken skeen): What you get on your skin when you get chills. Variation of STAND-UP HAIRS. "When we when keess, ah got CHICKEN SKIN!"

SUNDAY. Day to chill. We went off on a fishing/picnic trip to Ka'ena Point. On the way there, we passed through Waialua's winding road. Its known for a lot of car crashes and deaths. People would tend to drive drunk there or over pass slow cars not realizing that they can't see on coming cars do to the winding road. We passed Poamoho, the last plantation camp to be active until the rich white man took over it and built a gate in front of it.

We also stopped by to meet up on one of the sets of LOST. It had the yellow cabins and some kind of obstacle course on the lot.





We then headed off to Ka'ena Point, Place of the leaping souls. After some one passes away, it is said, that their soul heads to Ka'ena Point to jump off into the after life. People would plant trees to guide the souls back up the mountain. A lot of the near by houses would experience many ghost encounters.





To get to "the spot" we had to go off roading. Yup. A bumpy ass ride. Felt like one of those Ford truck commercials where they fly all over the place. Haha.






After setting up, we saw a "storm bird" in the sky. At first we thought it was someone hang gliding but it was too small. It looked exactly like a pterodactyl dinosaur. Wtf right. I couldnt take a picture of it because it was too far up and looked like a spec when I did try. The locals say the "storm bird" only comes out before a weather change, like a sign of rain.













Ka'ena Point is also known for its crime syndicate in Hawaii. At night, they close the gates and only way to get around it is if you have an off roading vehicle or a truck. They found bones of people who went missing back in the day. They would be killed or off'd and dropped off at Ka'ena Point. Like mafia style.







We saw a plant similar to the Akule kule, a plant that was fed to King Kamehameha's warriors to get them bigger. It was a herbal steroid basically.

After everything, we headed back home and celebrated my "be-lated" birthday. Hella bomb food. Drinks. Everything. Woot woot.









P.S. I thought it was pretty funny, my grandma couldnt hear and continued singing "happy birthday" while my aunt was blessing the food. Haha.

Aloha Stadium

Juggernaut Log: Hawaii Edition 51

Okole (oh KO leh): What you sit on in Hawaii. This word does not mean 'barstool.' Butt.

SATURDAY. Woke up early to get ready for the swap meet. Here in Hawaii, they have their biggest swap meet at Aloha Stadium. Aloha Stadium, if you didn't know, is where the University of Hawaii has there football games at and its also the host to the NFL Pro Bowl. The swap meet circles the whole stadium. More shops up on Sunday, just some advice.

After the swap meet, we stopped by Aiea to get a box of Manapua. Manapua is another name for Siao Pao. We then headed to Zippy's in Pearl City to eat some won ton min. Hella bomb.








P.S. Twin, Mary Ann, don't worry I'm coming home soon. Save your tears for me then, ok? Haha.

Palace Made For Royalty

Hanakokolele (ha na ko ko LEH Leh): Shame on you! Also AHANAKOKOLELE

WEDNESDAY. Haven't wrote in this in a while. Busy with fraternity work. Yes, fraternity work. I know, I know, I'm on vacation. Still better to get things squared away.

Well on this morning we headed to town. Down town that is. We saw a yellow autobot today on the way to Iolani Palace. Iolani palace is the only palace in the U.S. and it was the last monarch before the U.S. overthrew the Queen of Hawaii.



My cousin in law, a fireman of Hawaii, pulled into the fire department to park his vehicle at their lot. On the way to the palace, we witnessed two cops hand out j-walking tickets. First ticket was to an old ass Asian couple. Dang. Cut them some slack. I felt so bad for them. Second ticket was to a group of white tourists. Haha. Like Diddy says, "take that, take that." I think that was more just.




Back then they would have guards around the palace keeping any unwanted visitors out. Years after the queen was overthrown, stories about ghost roaming the palace and the spirits of the guards still there. There was this one incident where one guy reported they felt a push from behind to realize no one was behind him.





After all the site seeing, we stumbled upon a silver fire hydrant. Said wtf, as I shrugged my shoulders, and proceeded to take a picture of it. We then crossed the street to view the statue of King Kamehameha. He was dressed with a gold cape.




We then saw a sign that said "bad ass coffee". Yeah. You heard me right. "Bad......Ass Coffee". Haha. Who drinks ass coffee? But anyways, for lunch we had mexican food. Its still not comparable to the mexican food back at home. We all sat down at the tables clearly marked for another shop. Dude was a middle eastern douche, told us next time we aren't suppose to sit there. I went into his shop, to buy a drink, and found out he sold Caprisun drinks for two dollars each. Hella rip off.
