The
words
"Ko
Olina"
in
Hawaiian
translates
to
"Place
of
Joy."
Or,
"Place
of
Happiness"
is
an
equally
suitable
variation.
In
Japanese,
the
direct
wording
is
"Yorokobi
no
bashyo,"
or
just
as
accurately
"Yorokobi
no
tokoro."
This
evolving,
transforming
seaside
landscape,
has
welcomed,
enthralled,
and
changed
each
and
every
one
of
it's
visitors
from
Island
locales
including
those
from
around
the
world.
From
fascinating
early
reports,
initially
this
land
supported
thriving,
far-flung
sugar
cane
fields.
Among
some
of
it's
very
early
residents,
were
delicate
colorful
ladybugs,
which
populated
the
fields
in
great
numbers.
Even
today,
if
one
patiently
and
carefully
searches,
ladybugs
are
found
in
their
elusive,
hidden
outposts.
This
historical
legacy
then,
forms
the
underlying
basis
for
Ko
Olina
Resort
and
Ko
Olina
Golf
Course's
choice
of
their
popular,
easily
recognizable
ladybug
symbol
and
logos.
Available
reliable
reports
also
claim
King
Kamehameha's
love
for
this
well-removed,
distant
rejuvenating
setting.
It
is
said,
he
enjoyed
relaxing,
swimming
and
watching
the
remarkable
sunsets
with
his
family
and
warriors.
Therefore,
in
line
with
these
compelling
legacies,
my
endeavors
will
aim
to
uplift
and
fascinate
YOU,
my
viewer.
Please
enjoy
my
evolving
posts
and
commentaries,
as
they
too
develop
and
unfold.
NOTE:
Regularly,
I
will
attempt
to
change
the
uplifting
thought
associated
with
the
ladybug.
Please
check
this
commentary
from
time
to
time.
NOTE:
Also,
PLEASE
recognize
my
inter-related
themes
across
and
throughout
my
posts.
Essentially,
underlying
everything
is
a
very
simple
objective
to
share
with
YOU
my
viewer.
Gratefully,
remember
your
ancestors
(my
Zenrinkan
post),
your
physical
health
(my
Queen's
POB
1
entry),
a
healthy,
safe
diet
and
lifestyle
(Costco,
Don
Quijote
Honolulu,
Walmart
and
Kaneka
sites)
as
well
as
spiritual
health
(my
Church
of
the
Crossroads,
First
Presbyterian
Church
and
Waianae
Assembly
of
God
church
contents)
etc.
I
have
tried
to
integrate
my
themes
in
order
to
lift
YOU
up
for
YOUR
further
joy
and
hopefully,
intended
well-being.
These
are
among
my
honest,
candid
thoughts.
Mahalo
nui
loa
(Hawaiian),
arigatou
gozaimasu
(Japanese),
and
"thank
you"
for
thoughtfully
diving
into
my
posts.
