Pehea e hele wāwae ai i kāu ʻīlio i ka pō o ka makahiki hou

ʻO nā mea ahi, nā mea puhi ahi, nā kaʻa kaʻa, nā ʻuā, nā mele leo nui… Pehea e hiki ai i kāu ʻīlio ke ola i kēia "nani" āpau a pakele ʻole mai ka weliweli i Antarctica? E haʻi mākou ma kā mākou ʻatikala.

ʻO ka'īlio e hauʻoli nei i ka makahiki hou a mahalo i nā mea ahi ahi wale nō i loko o nā manaʻo noʻonoʻo: i loko o nā manaʻo o ke kanaka iʻikeʻole i nā'īlio. Ma ke ola maoli, ʻo ka New Year's Eve ka lā weliweli loa o ka makahiki no ka hapa nui o nā ʻīlio.

E noʻonoʻo wale: ʻoi aku ka ʻoi o ka lohe ʻana o ka ʻīlio ma mua o kā mākou. Inā nui ka poʻe o mākou i paʻi ʻia i ka pepeiao e ka New Year's fireworks, pehea ko lākou manaʻo? Eia kekahi, ʻike mākou a pau ʻaʻole makaʻu ke ahi, akā nani a hauʻoli. Pehea nā holoholona? Malia paha, i ko lakou manao, he mau hoailona maopopo keia o ka hopena o ke ao, hookahi wale no mea i koe: o ka holo a e ola! Ma ke ala, aia i ka wā hoʻomaha makahiki hou i nalowale kahi helu o nā holoholona. No ka pale ʻana i kāu ʻīlio mai ka hoʻohui ʻana i kā lākou papa inoa, hopu i nā lula o ka hele ʻana o "New Year's" me ka ʻīlio.

Akā ʻo ka mea mua, ʻike mākou hiki i ka ʻīlio ke aʻo ʻia i nā leo nui. Inā makaʻu nui ka ʻīlio i nā kaʻa kaʻa, hekili a i ʻole "bombs", ʻaʻole maikaʻi kēia. Pono ka makaʻu e hana, akā pono ka manawa: i ka pō o ka Makahiki Hou, ua lōʻihi ka "wean" i ka ʻīlio e makaʻu. Akā ʻo ka hana ʻana i kēia ma hope o nā lā hoʻomaha he manaʻo maikaʻi!

Nā lula 7 no ka hele ʻana o ka makahiki hou me kahi ʻīlio

E hele wāwae i kahi manawa palekana. ʻO kēia ka manawa liʻiliʻi ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ke ahi: mai ke kakahiaka nui a i ka hola 17.00 pm.
E hele wāwae ma kahi palekana. I ka wā hoʻomaha, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻokaʻawale ʻana iā ʻoe iho i ka hele ʻana ma ka pā, a puni ka hale a i ʻole ke kahua kokoke. Akā ʻo ka hele ʻana i ke kikowaena o ke kūlanakauhale e mahalo i ka lāʻau Kalikimaka nui loa ʻaʻole pono ia.
E hoʻomaʻamaʻa i nā hele wāwae pōkole. Ma ka makahiki hou, hiki iā ʻoe, me ka noʻonoʻo maʻemaʻe, e lawe i ka ʻīlio i waho e hana ai i kāna ʻoihana. Hiki ke kali ka jogging hui a me nā hakakā hau hau! E manaʻoʻiʻo mai iaʻu, i kēia lā e kūpono loa kēlā ʻano hiʻohiʻona iā ia. Ma ke ala, ua ʻike paha ʻoe e hiki ke aʻo ʻia kahi ʻīlio e hele i ka lua ma ke kauoha?
E nānā i ka ammo no ka ikaika. Hiki i ka ʻīlio makaʻu i ke ahi ke lilo i nahesa a paʻa i waho o ke kola "ikaika loa". Ke kokoke mai nei ka makahiki hou - ʻo ia ka manawa e nānā i nā mea hele wāwae. E hōʻoia i ka nui o ke kola e like me ke kāʻei o ka ʻāʻī o ka ʻīlio (ʻo ia ka manawa hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia nā manamana lima ʻelua ma waena o ka ʻāʻī a me ke kola, ʻaʻole hou). Ma ke kūlana maikaʻi nā mea hoʻopaʻa, a ʻaʻole kahe ka lei. ʻOiai inā ʻaʻole maʻalahi kāu ʻīlio e pakele, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kau ʻana i kahi helu helu wahi (he hōʻailona me kāu helu kelepona) ma kona ʻāʻī. E waiho ma kahi kaula kaawale, mai hoʻopili i ke kola kumu. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi e koho i nā pahu helu nui i ʻike ʻia ke kelepona ma luna o lākou mai kahi mamao. Inā ʻaʻohe puke helu wahi ma ka lima, a ua hiki mai ka Makahiki Hou, e kākau i ka helu kelepona me kahi māka indelible mālamalama ma ke kola māmā.
Inā hiki, e hele i ka ʻīlio ma ke kāʻei kūikawā e hoʻopuni ana i ka ʻāʻī, ka umauma a me ka ʻōpū - ʻaʻole hiki ke pakele mai ia ʻano me ke kōkua ʻole o ke kilokilo! No ka hilinaʻi nui aʻe, mai hoʻopaʻa wale i ke kaula i kou lima, akā e hoʻopili iā ia i kou kāʻei. ʻAʻole e hōʻeha ʻia kahi kola kukui a me kahi tracker GPS!
Kākoʻo i ka ʻīlio. Inā "laki" ʻoe e hālāwai me nā mea ahi o ka Makahiki Hou a i ʻole nā 'īlio "moʻolelo weliweli", e hoʻāʻo e hopohopo, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i emi iki ka makaʻu. He mea nui i ka ʻīlio ke kamaʻilio pū me ia me ka leo haʻahaʻa a mālie, mai huki i ke kaula, akā huki mālie iā ia iā ʻoe, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, e lawe iā ia ma kou mau lima! Inā ikaika loa ka makaʻu, a ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i ka ʻīlio, e noho wale i lalo a waiho iā ia e hūnā i kona poʻo ma lalo o kou lima. ʻO ka hahau, mālie - a holo i ka home!
A ʻo ka hope. He maikaʻi nā malihini a me nā hui nui, akā ʻaʻole no ka ʻīlio. ʻAʻole, ʻaʻole kēia manaʻo he pono ʻoe e hōʻole i nā hālāwai. Akā inā makemake ʻoe e ʻike i kāu mau hoaaloha, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka haʻalele ʻana i ka ʻīlio ma ka home ma kahi mehameha. A inā hele mai kekahi hui walaʻau iā ʻoe, e lawe i ka ʻīlio i kahi lumi ʻē aʻe a i ʻole e hoʻi i kāna wahi huna punahele. Pono e ʻōlelo ʻia nā hoaaloha ʻo ka hoʻokuke ʻana i kāu ʻīlio a hāʻawi iā ia i nā meaʻai mai ka papaʻaina he manaʻo maikaʻi ʻole.
