WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT
HAWAI'I WHEN YOU'RE IN L.A.?
I MISS THE PEOPLE.
HERE.
IN L.A. IT'S A LOT MORE
FAST-PACED.
EVERYBODY IS IN THEIR ZONES AND
THEY DON'T TAKE THE TIME TO GET
TO KNOW EACH OTHER LIKE HERE.
THE VERY FIRST DAY EVERYBODY
AND I WAS LIKE OH, MY GOD, I
MISS THAT.
HAWAI'I, IT'S A SPECIAL
PLACE.
I DO WANT TO SAY THAT MIKA IS
NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE.
YOU ARE SMART.
PRIOR TO MODELING YOU WERE A
I WAS.
DEVELOPMENTALLY DELAYED
CHILDREN, SPECIFICALLY EARLY
INTERVENTION AND I WAS THEIR ONE
TO ONE TUTOR IN SCHOOL OR THE
HOME DEPENDING ON WHAT THE
CLIENT NEEDED.
I DID THAT FOR ABOUT SIX YEARS
AFTER GRADUATING FROM HPU.
SCHOLARSHIP?
YES, I WAS, A FULL ACADEMIC
SCHOLARSHIP.
THE PARENTS OF TWO CHILDREN,
THE THOUGHT OF GETTING A FULL
EXCITING.
IT WAS AMAZING.
YOUR PARENTS MUST HAVE BEEN
SO PROUD.
I JUST FELT RELIEVED THAT
THEY DIDN'T HAVE DO ALL OF THE
APPLICATIONS FOR THE STUDENT
LOANS AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT STUDENT LOANS AND ALL OF
THAT.
I JUST DID WHAT I WAS SUPPOSED
GOOD FOR YOU.
WE'RE LOOKING AT SOME OF THE
PICTURES HERE IN YOUR MODELING
JOBS.
YOU DO PRINT, RUNWAY,
COMMERCIAL, ALL OF IT.
I ACTUALLY LOVE DOING
COMMERCIAL WORK THE BEST BECAUSE
IT ALLOWS ME TO BE MYSELF.
USUALLY THEY ARE LIKE GO RUN
AROUND, BE HAPPY, SMILE.
GOT IT.
I CAN DO THAT.
SO WHEN YOU'RE NOT WORKING,
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
WHEN I'M HERE, I LOVE TO GO
TO THE BEACH.
I HAVE A FIANCÉ AND HE LOVES TO
WE JUST LIKE TO STAY AT HOME
AND WATCH MOVIES.
I WATCH HIM PLAY GOOGS BECAUSE,
I DON'T KNOW, IT'S FUN TO ME.
THAT'S THE DOWN TIME.
WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A LOT
WHEN THE DOWN TIME SO I JUST
LIKE TO RELAX.
I JUST GOT INTO PAINTING SO I
ACRYLICS AND STARTED
EXPERIMENTING, SEEING WHAT I CAN
DO.
HOW FUN?
WE'VE ENJOYED GETTING TO KNOW
YOU BETTER.
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
TONY SILL VALUE IS FILLING IN AS
LET'S GET STARTED AND JUMP INTO
OUR FIRST STORY.
FOR MANY OF HUSBAND CHRISTMAS IS
A JOYFUL TIME OF YEAR, TIME TO
SPEND WITH FAMILY AND FRIEND BUT
FOR MANY THIS SEASON CAN BE A
FORM OF STRESS AND ANXIETY.
ACCORDING TO A STUDY, THIS JEER
STRESSFUL FOR HE WILL% OF
AMERICANS AND THIS TYPE OF
SEASONAL DEPRESSION.
NUMBER ONE, WORRYING OVER SPEND
PENTAGON AND FINANCES.
NEXT FAMILY GET TOGETHERS.
THOSE ACCOUNT STRESSFUL AND
GROWING TO-DO LISTS AS WELL AS
LONEYNESS OR GRIEF OVER THE LOSS
OF A LOVED ONE.
TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A HAPPY
AND HEALTHY SEASON, EXPERTS
SUGGEST YOU DO THE FOLLOWING,
BUDGET BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS.
ALTHOUGH IF YOU'RE HEARING THIS
FOR THE FIRST TIME NOW, YOU'RE
PROBABLY A LITTLE TOO LATE.
PRIORITIZE YOUR TO-DO LIST AND
DON'T TAKE ON TOO MUCH.
NEXT IF GATHERING CERTAIN FAMILY
MEMBERS TOGETHER LEADS TO
FALL-OUT, MAKE SURE YOU SET
BOUNDARIES OR DIVIDE OUR TIME
AND FOR THOSE WHO SUFFERED A
LOSS THIS YEAR, MAKE NEW
TRADITION TO SEE KEEP THAT
PERSON'S MEMORY ALIVE.
IF THE STRESS BECOMES TOO MUCH
SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP TO GET
YOU THROUGH THE ROUGH PERIOD.
THIS IS GREAT ADVICE.
YEAH, IT'S TRUE.
SO MANY OF YOU, YOU KNOW, YOU
ENJOY BAKING COOKIES AND GOING
TO HOLIDAY PARTIES BUT WE HAVE
TO REMEMBER THERE'S A LOT OF
PEOPLE OUT THREAT WHO MAY NOT
HAVE THAT KIND OF SUPPORT AND
BEING LONELY IS JUST A TERRIBLE
FEELING.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THOSE
CLOSE TO YOU.
I LIKE THAT.
OKAY.
THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST YEAR OF
CRAZY CHRISTMAS CROWDS AT MALLS
BECAUSE NYEAR ROBOCOP IS COMING
TO MALLS.
THIS ROBOT WILL SOON BEGIN
REGULAR PATROLS AT THE BLOCK.
IT'S EXPECTED TO BEGIN ITS WORK
IN TWO WEEKS.
FRIDAY WAS THE DAY IT WAS
INTRODUCED TO THE PUBLIC.
THE CUTTING EDGE OF TECHNOLOGY
PICKS SOME VIDEO FOOT AND AND A
LOT OF INFORMATION THAT HUMANS
AREN'T CAPABLE OF.
THE MALL'S GENERAL MANAGER SAYS
THE ROBOT WILL NOT TAKE AWAY
JOBS BUT RATHER IMPROVE WHAT'S
ALREADY AVAILABLE.
THE MALL HAS ALSO LAUNCHED A CON
TOAST GIVE THE ROBOT A NAME WITH
THE WINNER GETTING A GIFT
CERTIFICATE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS?
YOU'RE IN LOS ANGELES, YOU COULD
BE GOING TO A MALL AND SEEING
THE DROIDS ARE COMING.
THE DROIDS ARE COMING!
THE NEXT STEP INTO THE
FUTURE.
WHEN IT'S ONE LIKE THAT,
SOLO, IT'S NOT SO BAD.
AN ARMY OF DROIDS.
IT MIGHT BE A LITTLE CREEPY.
THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT
MOVIE.
BUT I REMEMBER GOING TO
SINGAPORE IN ONE OF THE HOTELS
THAT WE STAYED AT FOR "LIVING
808" THEY HAD A ROBOT DELIVERING
YOUR ROOM SERVICE.
SO I REMEMBER WE CALLED DOWN FOR
SOMETHING AND THEN THERE'S A
KNOCK -- I THINK THERE WAS A
YOUR DOOR BECAUSE THE ROBOT WAS
THERE.
IT WAS KIND OF CRAZY, AND THEN
THEY HAD ONE DOWN STAIRS IN A
YOU.
IT'S SUPER COOL BUT I JUT DON'T
LIKE THE IDEA OF THEM REPLACING
PEOPLE.
IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.
WE DON'T WANT THEM TAKING
PEOPLE'S JOBS.
THEY SAID.
I'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THEM.
WE'RE GOING TO BELIEVE THEM
FOR NOW.
