Back to the Work Grind Yo

Monday, July 7th, 2008

Many of us had the day off last Friday July 4th. The forward thinking (or lazy?) ones also took Thursday off to enjoy a scrumptious 4 day weekend. Were you one of the scrumptiously relaxed ones this weekend? If so, what did you do? Just chill or catch up on ...

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Since July 1, 2007 to the day, I've attended, count them: 8 weddings. That's almost a wedding a month son! Is it something in the air, or is it just that all of my friends are at that "marrying age"? Ah, it's probably a combination of both. Probably doesn't hurt ...

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Welcome Honolulu Advertiser print readers. Since I'm apparently in the rail promotion area for the print publication today, I thought I'd feature one of my more popular (meaning I get 3 comments instead of the usual 2 :P ) blogs posts for all ya'll new guests. It's where I mysteriously ...

Mid-Week BBQ

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

My buddy Tommy and his fiancee Magaret came down from Californ-I-A for our good friend Dicson's (and Roda's) wedding. Last night was their last night here, so in true, Hawaii fashion, we threw him a Pau Hana, BBQ style. Here are some scenes from the night. Dics holding it down on ...

Rockin’ It At Doraku

Monday, June 9th, 2008

So your boy turned another year older in the 30s block this weekend. Hold the applause (or laughter). To celebrate, the peeps took me out to the new, funky sushi joint in Waikiki called Doraku Sushi. Since this is a blog, I won't get too into reviewing the place in ...

Pho Fantasy - A Tour of Hawaii’s Favorite Pho Restaurants

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

One of the greatest things about living in Hawaii is the multi-cultural nature of just about everything. From families to friendships to food, we were born and raised in a place that taught us how to appreciate each other's differences. Nowhere is that more apparent in the cuisine we consume on ...

Where In Hawaii is Edward Sugimoto? - May 19, 2008

Monday, May 19th, 2008

I really have to think of a shorter, more catchier name for these posts. Biting "Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego" can only take me so far. :P In any case, here's this week's challenge. HINT: It is again, somewhere in town in Honolulu, Hawaii. Tough one eh? Post your guesses ...

In an exciting 59 seconds last night, Egan Inoue silenced all critics by walking right through his nearly 20 year younger opponent Hans Marrero is his return to the ring. On an otherwise lackluster card which included a Sean Sakata knee injury thrown on the very first kick of the ...

Egan Inoue to Make Return from Retirement

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

OK, working for the cable company, I know this is a bit self-indulgent, but since this blog is supposed to include the latest and greatest in MMA, I just had to plug the X1 Legends fight scheduled for tomorrow night. Not just because Oceanic Time Warner Cable is offering this ...

Tokkuri Tei - The Izaka-ya to Die-ya For

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

Our company recently completed a weight-loss competition, in which we - depending on how serious you were - stripped ourselves of the bare essentials. For some, these "essentials" included cake, pork chops, deep fried foods, or a combination of the three. For me, it was sushi! Twenty one "out-of-thin-air" pounds and ...

In this third and final part in the Wowie in Maui series, we start our adventures in the clouds. After soaring through the air at Skyline Eco Adventures last month, we head to the highest of elevation at nearby Haleakala National Park to get a different perspective on heights, this ...

Wowie In Maui - Part II

Saturday, March 1st, 2008

We did nothing but feed our faces in the last one di'in't we? And nooo, it wasn't due to the "munchies" silly. It was simply because it was all *I* did during my westerly travels in Maui. But trust..., if you are patient enough, I'll make like Sean Kingston and ...
