1008:KeepingItReal
All apologies for the few of you who might be dialing into www.fokai.tv.We Havent been updating the blog in awhile for several reasons—some yet to be undiscussed.
As a part-time writer for the blog I felt short of my assignments to do any reports because of an excursion to Bali to fine-tune production, to research our ambitions of opening up an adventure tour option, and most importantly for some serious soul searching.
Bali’s a real special place where for the most part—Spirituality rules all. Even in a land of some serious surf and other options, it’s the connection and effort for connection with the supernatural that really provides the fabric for a wonderland of experience, options, and multi-faced opportunity.
Within this tour—I also had the benefit of celebrating and reflecting Fokai’s special day on 10/08. Crazy dreams, good people, a visit to Pandora, and as it-down with a holy man…the international mix of influence that Bali offers combined with the daily offerings of people who really do give a darn have again led to the conclusion that God (in his many faces) is most definitely real and that Heaven as a place on earth is foever an endless puzzle to solve and an incredible collection of colors to forever unfold. and as far as it may seem for some–physically its a lot closer than many of us might think.
For the many things that are and for many things that aren’t–ThankYou my Lord!
Id like to take this opportunity to reiterate and confirm our position that, despite and inspite of what the many out there might perceive Fokai to be—we are respectfully here to make a real stand for good folks and good intentions. Endlessly for strength to protect the weak, ifor ntelligence to assist the ignorant, and for ambition to help light the way for the lost.

Just wanted to share apretty cool story here. My father passed away in 2004 in effort to fundraise money to help improve the library for his school’s alma mater. despite an ongoing miniature financial crisis in life–he always found time and reason to help others. i think that’s where he found his wealth.
Years prior he was driving onthe southern coast of Guam one day where he spotted twoscantily clad, dark-complexion men of obvious foreign descent stranded on the side of the road. though my father was on schedule for an appointment he made time to pull over and offer them assistance. their rent-acar had broken down and they needed aride to their hotel.
He offered them a lift–i believe they were either taying at thePacificStar or the HiltonResort Guam. my father had driven an old camry, the aircon was busted and the car hadnt been washed for weeks.
Regardless, he had driven them over to notice a massive entourage of attendants and photographers waiting for something. To his surprise when they were spotted–the small crownd of people surrounded the car and treated the men as if they were royalty.
It turns out that they were..one of the men was the President of Nauru. it turns out that he broke away from his assistants and wanted to see the island of Guam from a regular travelers eyes. he offered my father an all-expenses paid trip with accomodations as his personal guest to Nauru. but my father was so caught up trying to make his appointment that he lost all the information. But he had no regrets because their sign of relief was payment enough.
Honored to have this blood run in my veins.
They often say that if your good deeds doesnt find its way back to you directly it will do so for your children. For whatever success Fokai has enjoyed, and for whatever absence of happiness in his life that he might have missed out on– this is perfect testament for this truth.
Thanks Dad. Rest InPeace. GoodTimes in the afterlife. See you on the other side.
GoodVibraions. VictorDela Cruz

NO KIDDING: OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE AT THE FOKAI SHOP:
A few months into the opening of the first FokaiShop in 2004, we received a large delivery of 810Shirts accumulated between 500Adults and 210 Youths.
After single handedly folding the bunch, an exhausted employee then played the London Harmonic symphony’s Instrumental rendition of Pink Floyds Album TheWall.
“Somewhere into their version of Comfortably Numb i laid on the ground after a conversation with Pedro and felt myself float out of my body towards the ceiling that quickly turned into a sky full of stars”
“Was then placed into what i digested as a crossroads and recognized transportation possible by the power of thought, through high speed tunnels lined with what i felt on my skin as cold and reflective silver.”
Before committing to the tunnel i was distracted to the sound of someone messing with my vehicle outside.
Clearly remember the fork. Follow the tunnel and see what i wanna see. or make sure that no one was stealing my car. i figured id play it safe and check teh car and then return to the tunnel.After waking up to check my car, the still returning to the exact same spot, executing the exact same procedure, to the exact same song, i never did get a chance to return to that tunnel.”
In the end–maybe a correct mistake?
