Hello Blog

It's Monday., March 14, 2022 and the Spring Forward Day for this year. was yesterday. I thought today would be a good time to revive this blog (for the nth time - ha! ha!). A quick reminder, Hawaii do not do Daylight Savings Time, so the time difference will increase (or decrease) as what my friend Katy explained I her blog. 

Writing is such cathartic activity, as well as an empowering activity. I wish I have more time to write.  But then again, wishing for more time won't do it. I need to make time for it. And that is what I am doing today. Making time for it.

Lots to write about. Free flow writing. No stressing out. I hope you'd all join me in this writing adventure.

Morning

I am an early riser and morning is my most productive time of the day.  However, lately I am noticing that I am spending way too much time on Facebook in the morning instead of doing an even more important "to do's" such as my quite time and exercise.

I really need to reign my thoughts and improve my habits.  I am not against Facebook.  In fact, I think if used in moderation, and the right way, it is a good thing.  But when I stop dong it on top of my other priorities, then I know something is wrong.

This week I decided to "take a leave of absence" from my personal Facebook. Since social media is part of my job, I can't totally give it up and go dark. I can't totally unplug.  But I can minimize.

I have this book called ONE THING ... I bought it about 3 years ago. I attempted to apply it to my life but I fell short. But it's not too late to try again.

I love this random thought of blogging a.k.a. journaling online. I am not sure how many subscribers still gets notified when I post but it does not really matter. I hope you get blessed by this randomness.

Logging off now to read the Bible, pray, write on my prayer journal and then walk for exercise.

By the way, while I am writing this ... there are hundreds of birds tweeting on the tree in front of our house. The trees around our cul-de-sac is home to hundreds (literally hundreds) of birds.  I will count listening to these tweets a blessing. Nature's concert I will say.  Aloha.

Waikapu Gardens House For Sale 2013

Yes, that's our house in Waikapu Gardens Subdivision.  We bought it new in 2007. At that time I was still working for Spencer Homes.  My reason for buying this house is that I want to retire there someday.  I thought it will be a perfect home for me when I get old.

But then we realized, we (our family) are "Kihei people". We like living in this warmer part of Maui.   We like living close to Keawakapu Beach because that our dog Sonny's favorite beach.  And so we put this beautiful house on the market today.

The house plan is called Model 3. It used to be called Model C back when we were developing and building Piilani Village II and III.  It was a very popular model, always in demand and the first to sell whenever it becomes available.  That is why I think it will sell fast. There are many reasons why I think it will sell fast but the house lay-out itself is a big reason. It really was the favorite. And there is nothing in the market right now on this model.  I doubt it if there will be one soon.

We purchased this house in 2007 and we only have had 2 tenants.  The first tenant who occupied the house worked for the Air Force.   She was assigned to Maui (lucky her) and she brought her family here.  The were the perfect tenants! They took care of our property so well.  In the 3 years that they rented from us, their payment are always on time and we never heard a problem from them.  The only reason they moved out is because she was re-assigned back to the mainland.  They left the house is a very good condition, ready for the next tenant to move in.  The next tenants are great as well.  They were like the first one. I know... we are lucky to have responsible tenants!  The house is still occupied so please do not disturb them.  If you are interested to buy this house, please call our Realtor, Renona Barrozo - 357-1844.  Please, serious inquiries only. Let your realtor contact our realtor. And if you don't have a realtor, I highly recommend you talk to Renona and hire her as your realtor too.

One advantage of this house compared to the other homes in Waikapu Gardens is that it does not have a neighbor directly behind.  It's a quite side and dead-end street therefore has a bit more privacy.   Our yard is also bigger compared to the average yards at Waikapu Gardens.

I  have worked with Spencer Homes for 13 years and I know they build good houses. The people bought and live there makes it a good neighborhood as well.  Waikapu Gardens is a great place to live in the Central area. Close to school and Offices.

Going back to the lay-out and why it's extremely popular - it is because of the big open are in the living/dining area and a functional, highly efficient kitchen.  Here are the photos of the kitchen  in two different angles:

This Waikapu Gardens homes for sale has 3 bedroom and 2 baths. It also has a 2 car garage. You can take a look at the listing for more details:  Waikapu Gardens, Model 3
