Ainokea

I got this bracelet on my last week in Hawaii. I saw it on the back of a guys truck and fell for the saying. Oh and may I mention how proud I was because I didn't have to ask someone what it meant since it's in pidgin.

If you don't know what it means or can't figure it out, try sounding it out slowly. That doesn't work? I'll tell you :)

Wanted to give the white on white photo a go. This is my best take and I did the editing (a crop and contrast) using Gimp for the first time. A bit more confusing than Picnik, but a new challenge is good.
Lovely!! OK what does it mean?

I'm stumped. I love the white on white shot. Gimp, huh? Will have to try it.

Great white shot. I like the reflection and all of the empy white space. Makes for a visually appealing picture. So...what does it mean? I've tried, but I still can't figure it out.

Beautiful shot! I love white on white, I just googled the meaning and it says it means 'I don't care.'

@simplysnapped Tracy, has it right. I have to say it the pidgon way because the regular way sounds so negative :) hahah @nlaurie @debsphotos @cmc1200 Now that you guys know what it means try sounding it out now. It'a fun word for something so boring we say here!! Thank you for all the positive feedback on the picture too you all :)

@peterdegraaff Did you figure it out? It means 'I dont care' if you sound it out after you know that you'll get how they say it :)
@beetle365 Thanks a lot!
@agentzuckerguss Wow thank you for those sweet words Katia!!
@trude haha Yes google is helpful for sure!!! Although i'd be happier with them if they weren't taking my picnik ;) Thank you for you comment as well!!

@lostwaveitb do you have picasa? it's a free download and pretty much has all editing tools that picnik has!

Love the white on white with just a hint of color. Very pretty. :-)

What a beautiful job you did. I love the white on white, high key and the reflection. Perfectly done. And I hear it everyday, I have an entire staff of locals...

@dmortega Thank you so much! I was determined to get a decent white on white :)

@josiehartley haha I bet you do!! When I saw that I went into work the next day and asked my boss who was local if I was saying it right. She responded with 'well yeah but it sounds wrong with you saying it' lol - they were all very welcoming, however protective of their culture :)
