My Wishes for 2014

by Nickin Nick's Blogon Posted on

Happy 2012 (Dangit, why did I go backwards?!) 2014 everyone!! What a year 2013 was, right?! I already complained about 2013, so it’s up to 2014 to be better and more fun! Here’s a little glimpse into my wishes for the new year…

Health & Prosperity

I wish that all of you, all of my family, and all of my friends have a healthy and prosperous 2014! We eat traditional Japanese “Ozoni” and “Soba” to ring in the new year, as they are believed to bring various things like good health, wealth, and a long life!

Adventure

As I got older, I realized that life is about the journey, not the destination. It’s about the adventure that each moment has! So I wish for more adventures in 2014 like the one pictured above! Talk about celebrating the new year in style!

Professional Growth

Between MānoaDNA and Ê»IOLANI, there is a lot of commitments in my life. Last year, I focused on the commitment side of each, rather than the opportunity. This year, I wish to utilize both as an opportunity to become a better human being! Didn’t know this blog would go so deep, huh?! 🙂

So, Happy New Year Everyone!

Gathering together for the new year, the extended Kawakami family celebrated the beginning of 2014.

ALOHA!

P.S. As food for thought (literally), apparently McDonald’s is NOT the enemy! Great news! 2014 is already better!
