Blogs

My principal at school asked me to share with our staff my passion for blogging. I mean, do you think I have a passion for blogging? Heck yeah I do! I love to read them and I like to make them (not sure if I LOVE the doing it myself because I never feel like it do it enough). I like to leave comments on other peopleʻs blogs, mostly because I love when I get comments on my blogs.
To date, I have five blogs (six actually but I havenʻt even looked at a couple of them for a couple of years so they are considered defunct). My very first blog ever was my personal blog, the one youʻre looking at here, lianahonda.blogspot.com, inspired by my good friend Aloha Allen. She started blogging when she became pregnant with her first daughter, Nanea (and has since made another blog for her second daughter, Makena. Of course that led me to her twin sisterʻs blog, and I donʻt think I have stopped since! My list of favorite blogs is hopefully forthcoming, but letʻs talk about ME!
So this is my personal blog, started out as a way to showcase my granddaughter, Hulali, and then my grandson, Kanoa. But now itʻs kind of morphing into a mishmash of different interests, including reading, ahas, and other things that interest, of course, ME!
My next blog that came to be was my school blog, set up mostly for parents, to see what kinds of fun things we are doing in class. I try my hardest to keep it as up to date as possible, but I struggle ...I am hoping for a productive blogging school year for 09-10.
Third came a technology blog, mostly set up so that I could keep track of new things I was learning and could share with others as inept at technology as me. This one is the hardest for me to maintain, only because I am learning so many new things each and everyday I dont know which to do, which to focus on, which to learn more about!
Fourth is one of my faves, my cooking blog. I figured I was such a moocher off of other cooking blogs that I needed to "give back to my community." Of course the cooking blogs I visit would LAUGH at my piece of artwork blog but it doesnt matter. I love cooking. I dont think I am very good at it, but I love it, and I am certain there are others out there who could benefit. My photos are less than perfect (and most just come from my iPhone) and I am not big on presentation but no one is complaining about the taste (although I welcome honest critique from my fam bam). I named it So Duck Soup because "duck soup" was a very saying of my dadʻs. Whenever something was perceived as difficult he would always tell me it was duck soup! And to me, cooking is duck soup. And if it isnt then you are working too hard.
My last blog, that I started back in July, is a Hawaiian word a day blog, that I call He Momi. Years ago I used to send out email, first to a very small group of family and friends and then the list grew to hundreds. I sent out a word or saying a day, every day of the week. Well things got a bit hurried and I was changing careers and I just let it fall to the wayside. Just recently I decided to revive He Momi through a new blog.
And that is all for now, folks. Hopefully this will inspire me to make a list of some of my faves. It might surprise you!
