Fave Friday – T-Shirt

Returning home from a recent trip, I was sporting my “No Worry Beef Curry” T-shirt. Upon deplaning, the flight attendant noticed it, pointed and smiled, almost in an approval kinda way. (Well, at least I think it was the shirt she was smiling at and not my beefcake body! Ahahaha! :P ).

ENeeeeewaaaay, the shirt was dug up from an old “Ed’s stuff” box at the ‘rents’ house during a recent garage sale and has become one of my favorites (again) as of late. As with errything, the incident above made me think of you guys and what might be of interest for this here blog community. So here it is.

In the comment area below, post what your favorite T-shirt is and why. (I was gonna ask you to “post your favorite local saying”, but I think we already did that one… kinda). Bonus points for posting your favorite sayings anyway. The shirt can be one you personally own, one you’ve seen, or one you were thinking of designing one day.

I’ve got a several way tie for my fave tee:

* My “No Worry Beef Curry” t-shirt: for sentimental value (since I dug it up as a somewhat new discovery). Plus, it’s comfy and the color matches a lot of my shorts.
* My “Army” t-shirt: suuuuper comfy!
* My eS brand t-shirt: Um, helloooo!? ES, get it? ES!?
* My “SPAM” t-shirt: no explanation necessary.

And I guess I’ll use “No Worry Beef Curry” as my special bonus point saying. Woo hoo!

So what say you?

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a great weekend and I’ll see ya next week! Happy Monday holiday for those of you who have the day off!

Fave Friday – Lock Your Desktop Tip

A-ight peeps. Your boy is finally gonna live up to this blog’s name and provide a helpful computer/web related tip for this here Friday.

Some of you may already know about this one, but I still find myself teaching peeps about this underutilized, but VERY helpful tip, especially in the work enviro.

It’s an easy keystroke (for Windows users) that will quickly lock your computer (in a good way). You know, for those times when you gotta go potty one fast one, or go gallivanting to lunch for a while… This will essentially lock your screen (as long as you have a password set for your Windows user account) so that any snooping eyes that come around while you’re away will not be able to see/read a thing, and instead, see something like this:

Locked Desktop

Kewl yeah?

K, enough with da talk. Here’s the keystroke combo to lock your keyboard:

[Windows key] + L

In other words, if you hold down the Windows key (key with the Windows logo on it) and press the letter “l”, you’ll be all G. Never knew that protecting your sensitive data would be duck soup huh? Go tryum! But make sure you know your password k? Haha! Shoots! Have a good weekend y’all!

Talk to me!
* Did you learn something new today or did you already know about this little gem?
* Got any other keystroke gems to share?
* Which ones do you use most often?
* Any Mac users out there with keyboard shortcut hints/tips to share?
* What other life chores do you wish had a keyboard shortcut?

Fave Five Friday – Hawaii’s Worst Roads

Following up on last week’s fairly active topic of Hawaii’s Worst Parking Lots, let’s go with the next logical topic: Hawaii’s roads. I bet we’ve all got our strong opinions on this one eh?

So goh’on! Post your choices in the comment area below. Hurr’s mine!

1. Anywhere on H1 during rush hour or when there’s an accident - Gaaaaaaah! I have no words.
2. Piikoi Street - trying to catch this to get to Lunalilo Street to get on the H1 Westbound is B-A-N-A-N-A-S!
3. Lunalilo Street- missing lights because of baboons blocking the intersection from Piikoi. D’oh!
4. Kalanianaole Highway – not so much for the traffic, but because of the traffic lights. I remember when I used to make this drive to town and I counted the number of lights. It was insane (in the membrane). Like 20 or 30 something!
5. Hana Highway- sending some love to the neighbor islands. This one only because it’s so windy (not the air kine windy) and crazy l’dat and when you get stuck behind one slow drivah… PAU!

While we’re on the topic of roads, who in the heck thought that that onramp off University Ave (eastbound) was a good idea!?!? First of all, in order to merge onto the H1, you have to go like 0-60 in 2.8 seconds. Plus there is an exit (University) right after your onramp. Bad planning I tell ya! I digress.

I know I’m missing a lot. Chime in below willya!?

Happy VHO7V Friday and have an awesome lonnnnnng weekend k? Shoots!

P.S. I know it’s a little late (I just download the pics), but mad props to local boy Brian Viloria (@BrianViloria) for successfully defending his IBF light-flyweight title by defeating Jesus Iribe by unanimous decision in a 12 round war. Check out the pic and action packed 12th round video below.

Fave Five Friday – Hawaii’s Worst Parking Lots

This one’s been on my “to do” list for quite some time, but I just never got a chance to get around to it. A recent visit to Mililani Shopping Center refreshed my memory.

We’ve all experienced it. Bad parking lots. Whether it be too few parking stalls (for the demand) or just plain poor architecture/engineering, some of Hawaii’s parking structures are pretty horrible and it’s time to call them out on it. Not necessarily to make them do anything about it, but more just to have a friendly monku session amongst family. Y’all ready? Let’s do this!

1. Pearl Kai - I have just 4 words: REE-DON-KU-LOUS!
2. Hyatt Waikiki - this was suggested by a co-worker. Talk about narrow and dangerous. And on top of that parking is supah rare. Then again, it is Waikiki, so…
3. Discovery Bay Center – recent trips to Bombay and Buffalo Wild Wings made me learn more about why I’m not very fond of this structure. The stalls are insanely packed (tight) together and at the weirdest angles. Not to mention, they share the lot with some rent a car place. Just weird.
4. Mililani Shopping Center/Costco – there is like NEVER any parking here, which I guess is a good thing because bidness is going well. But still… I sometimes avoid going here because I know what the parking sitch is gonna be like. :\
5. Anywhere with dumb drivers- drivers who don’t know how to stay in their lines! Ho da irraz!

As I was putting this list together, I was like WTH!? These can’t be the worst. I know I’m missing some. Ah, I’m sure your lists will refresh my memory. Holla atcho boy!

Happy VHO7V Friday and have an awesome weekend k? Shoots!

Fave Five Friday – Celebrity Photo Opps

I’ve never been a fan of autographs. It’s too easy to forge, and, unless you can verify it and possibly even sell it for a premium, to me, it’s worthless. Celebrities are humans too. Some piece of paper with their chicken scratch on it doesn’t hold much weight. That’s just me.

But, as girly/kiddie as it sounds, what really gets me charged is getting a photo with said celeb. I value this the most because it has significance to me and me alone. I don’t care if it’s worthless to anyone else and ruined cause my ugly mug is in the photo, it’s just good kine fun and proof - in that particular moment in time - that I was there and actually met somebody I could tell a story about.

This past weekend in Philly, I had a blasty blast. Not only did I get that interview with Bruddah Shane, I was also able to sneak in some photo opps with “stars” from the MMA world, thanks to our awesome seats at UFC 101 the night before! Peeps like:

Cutman Jacob “Stitch” Duran

“Stitch” caught the same flight as us from Vegas. Cool guy!

UFC President Dana White

UFC President Dana White taking the time to greet his fans

Fighter Frank Trigg

Newly signed (again) UFC fighter Frank “Twinkle Toes” Trigg. Why does Bari look so upset?

Referee Mario Yamasaki

Referee Mario Yamasaki kept coming into the stands for some reason. I caught him one quick one after the event was pau

Phillie All Star Shane Victorino

Me and Bruddah Shane in the Phillie dugout after our interview

Which led me to this week’s Fave Five question. Which 5 celebs would you most like to have a photo with? If photos ain’t your bag, you can use autographs for your list.

1. Flavor Flav – OMG! He’s so flamboyant and out there! This would be the funnest photo, like EVER! LOL!
2. Mr. T – see above! Seems like a nice, humble guy too.
3. Kimbo Slice – he’s crazy intense, but seems like a cool, mellow cat, outside the ring. I give him mad props for starting from scratch in the coming season of the Ultimate Fighter!
4. Michael Jordan/Tiger Woods – gods in their respective games, though I’m not sure how good/genuine their personalities would be.
5. Hugh Hefner – no words necessary! LOL!

I’m sure I’m missing a lot more, so lemme hear it. Send over your list of celebs you’d like to get a pic with/meet/get an autograph from.

Some celebs I forgot to mention were those that would bring the most cashola to my pocket (when sold to the tabloids). *grin* Maybe a scandalous shot with Jon or Kate, or both? Or Brangelina? Or even the Octo-mom? Is she even relevant anymore?

Anyway, I digress. Have fun with this list on your T.G.I. Friday y’all!

Happy VHO7V Friday and have an awesome weekend k? Shoots!

(Editor’s note: Don’t get me wrong. I ain’t no celebrity stalker/groupie type, as the pictures above may make it seem. LOL! If I had to stand in line and wait a couple hours for one photo, I wouldn’t do it. These just so happen to fall into place a-ight? )

Fave Five Friday – Poke Locations

If you said “Tantalus” or “ma’s house”, you’re a perv! Getcho mind outta the gutter yo. I’m actually referring to the raw seafood mixture that so many of us love with our beer, er meal. Poke, NOT poke. Getum?

In any case, I was thinking of putting together a “Poke around Hawaii” type of piece for AroundHawaii.com, like I did for Shave Ice, Pho, and Acai (part I and part II), and I wanted to get your guys’ help. Post some of your favorite poke around Hawaii and where it’s from and I’ll target the hostpots that get the most action. For now, check out my Fave Five list!

1. Masago Ahi from Yama’s Fish Market – YUMMMMM!
2. Anything from Tamashiro Market! – just hard to find parking sometimes.
3. Clam Poke from Costco - hooooo! surprisingly ono for something from Costco!
4. Limu Ahi from Safeway - OK, I’m a bit biased ’cause I used to make it, but the recipe is some ono. And they only use fresh ahi, not frozen!
5. Creamy Ahi from Poke Stop – I remember it being better before.

I heard good things about Ono Seafood in Kapahulu, JJ Seafood in Kaneohe, Fresh Catch in Kaimuki and Golden Mart in Mililani. Any recommendations for what to try there, or anywhere else? Holla atcho boy!

P.S. Wish me luck with the Victorino interview! Still crossin’ my fingers… :\ If you order the UFC 101 (Penn vs. Florian) fight on Oceanic Time Warner Cable PPV, look for us on TV k!?

Happy VHO7V Friday and have an awesome weekend y’all!

Fave Five Friday – Music Groups

My co-worker was laughing at me the other day when I told her that I’m really into Rockapella. Some also find it hard to believe that I dig on country music. What other secrets can we pull outta me? We shall see. But not without y’all sharin’ too!

1. Flo Rida or Twista - there’s just somethin’ about Flo Rida’s beat that makes me wanna get up and dance. Twista’s flow is insane! Respect.
2. Jason Mraz – cool cat with mellow, catchy grooves. Seeing that he’s a genuinely sincere/nice person when we met him at the Road Runner Music Hall just solidified my respect and admiration for him.
3. Colbie Caillat – kinda da kine for me to admit this, but sistah’s got some good kine jams. I like that she’s from Hawaii and that she seems to still be grounded after all of her success. Trying to line up an interview with her one of these months. Wish me luck!
4. Rockapella – can’t think of any other a capella group as talented as these bruthas! I need them to redo their lyrics to “Where In the World is Carmen Sandiego?” and sing “Where In Hawaii Is Edward Sugimoto?”!
5. O.A.R. – My alt rock ear gets its fill with this group. Love the brass infusion!

How about the local acts?

1. Ekolu – Lukela Keala’s voice is a thing of beauty!
2. Koa ‘Uka – ultimate party song band. Makes me wanna skank. I still wanna see them in person.
3. Justin Young – soulful voice with a laid-back, humble personality. Deservedly goin’ places now that he’s rollin’ with sistah Colbie.
4. Na Leo – spine-tingling harmonies, memory inducing hits. Don’t get no bettah.
5. Fiji – his live appearances are like no other! He knows how to get a crowd going fo sho!

Share your fave groups below yo!

P.S. Wish me luck in the Tinman this Sunday y’all! The bummahz part is that we play the Advertiser that night in our Media Basketball league and my legs will be shot. D’oh! If we lose, I won’t hear the end of it from Queenie, WesNaks and Bruddah Kwon (and maybe even StevieT! ) LOL!

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a good weekend and I’ll see y’all on Monday!

Fave Five Friday: Phobias

Yeah, OK, so “Phobias” do not exactly constitute a “Fave” Five list, but you know what I mean right?

This one was actually suggested by wifey, after coming eye to eye with a friendly widdle cockroach – something she’s DEATHLY afraid of – at a restaurant.

Since I’m such a manly man (*grunt* *snort*), coming up with a list of things I’m afraid of will not be easy. *grin* But seriously, for those having trouble wid dis, try here, here or here (some of ‘em are HILARIOUS!). OK, let’s do this thang!

My Phobias yo:

1. Kakorrhaphiophobia (defeat) or Atychiphobia (failure) – Hate to lose. Nuff said.
2. Agoraphobia (crowded public places) – not really a phobia, but more of a peeve. Don’t like things/people crowding me. Personal space people.
3. Thanatophobia (death/dying) – who isn’t afraid of dying?
4. Trypanophobia/Aichmophobia/Belonephobia (needles) – not really scared of um, but I’d rather not have to have um in me.
5. Phalacrophobia (becoming bald) – kinda funny, but serious. Hehe!

Is there such a thing as PublicToiletSeatphobia? If so, I got it!

Some amusing ones I found:

1. Caligynephobia (beautiful women) – poor guy
2. Kolpophobia (female genitals) – no comment
3. Japanophobia (Japanese or Japanese culture) – Ahahaha!
4. Gamophobia (marriage) – could be blamed for some long engagements?
5. Gymnophobia (nudity) – craziness! Playboy would go broke!
6. Didaskaleinophobia (school, going to school) – Dammit! I could’ve used this back in the day!
7. Genophobia (sex) – is you serious?
8. Cacophobia (ugliness) – Bwahahahahahaha!

I really shouldn’t be laughing though cause these could be very serious fears for people. :\

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all and have a good weekend a-ight? Shoots!

Fave Five Friday: Reality Show Couples

So it was recently reported that Jon and Kate Gosselin have filed for divorce. Gee, who saw that one coming?

Along those lines, we’ll go with that theme for this week’s Fave Five blog: Fave Five Reality Show Couples. I needs ta be honest though. I’m more excited to fill out the least fave list. Let’s see what we come up with shall we?

Fave Five Reality Show Couples:

1. Flavor Flav + Anyone- you gotsta love his passion and honesty for trying to find true love on “Flavor of Love.” And, although he’s admirably decided to stay with his baby’s mama following the 3rd and last season, a part of me still wants him to keep going. Can’t get enough of that guy man! LOL!
2. Travis Barker + Shanna Moakler – although they’ve had a lot of drama following them in the news, I was a fan of their show “Meet the Barkers” back in the day.
3. Nick Lachey + Jessica Simpson – how can you not like both of them? They seemed to be nice peoples, at least individually… Maybe their life timing was just not right? I secretly wouldn’t mind seeing them get back together and film another season of “Newlyweds”.
4. New York + Tailor Made - I don’t really like Tailor Made, but he and New York (Tiffany Pollard) were like the most unlikely of couples, so “I Love New York” was just fun to watch. Like a train wreck I couldn’t look away from.
5. Jeff Conaway + Vikki Lizzi – one word: dysfunctional. Not sure why I wasted hours of my life watching “Celebrity Rehab” but they were also fun/ridiculous to watch.

Bottom Five Reality Show Couples:

1. Spencer Pratt + Heidi Montag - these two are number 1 on the hated list and won’t ever get overtaken. Why does anyone even care what they’re up to? I have no clue. Gotta hand it to Spencer for his decent marketing skills though.
2. Jon Gosselin + Kate Gosselin – again… who cares!?
3. Britney Spears and Kevin Federline – ditto
4. Christopher Knight + Adrianne Curry – again…
5. Audrina and Justin-Bobby – need I say more?

If making your list proves too challenging, feel free to just dish/vent about any of the above (or others you love/despise).

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a good weekend! I’m off to Alaska (Bon Voyage!), but be sure to check in for some exciting blogs ahead:

* Monday, June 29 – “BJ Penn Answers Your Questions! [Video]“- Remember the questions you guys submitted for BJ Penn last month? I caught Bruddah BJ on tape answering those questions! This one will be promo’d on the front page of the physical paper as well. Support the ’tiser and pick up a copy k?

Support your fellow WWE community peeps and comment away a-ight? Have a good one y’all! See you next month!

Fave Five Friday: Talk Shows

Now that my man CoCo (Conan O’Brien) has successfully gone a good couple weeks as Jay Leno’s successor on the Tonight Show (as expected), there’s no bettah time than now to do this Fave Five Friday Survey: Favorite Talk Shows no?

Hurr’s mine. What’s yours?

1. The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien - it has always been one of my dreams/goals to go to New York and watch Conan’s Late Night show live (and catch a Yankees/Mets game). Now that he’s in L.A., it’s that much easier to check it out. Hurr I come CoCo! LOL!
2. Jimmy Kimmel Live - hilarious guy with good/different/interesting guests.
3. The Ellen DeGeneres Show - funny host with good/interesting guests.
4. The Arsenio Hall Show - Yeah, I know it’s no longer on the air, but DAYEM, this show was the bomb back in the day!
5. Da Ali G Show - Yeah, not a real talk show, and not really on the air anymore either, but this was a CLASSIC show waaaay before Borat went mainstream!

Honorable mentions go to Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, Chelsea Lately, The Colbert Report, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Andy Bumatai Show, and The Best Damn Sports Show Period. What you got?

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a good weekend and I’ll see y’all on Monday!

Fave Five Friday: Pizza

Last weekend, wifey, BIL, BIL’s gf and I were trying to figure out where to grind. The thought of trying a unique/tasty pizza came up but, for the life of me, I couldn’t think of any besides the usual suspects. This one’s for those of you who will be in a similar predicament in the future. You’re welcome.

So here’s my list of favorite pizzas in Hawaii:

1. Brick Oven Pizza (Kalaheo, Kauai) - every trip to Kauai HAS TO include Brick Oven fo sho!
2. California Pizza Kitchen – they have a lot of winnahz, but one of my favorites is probably the Original BBQ Chicken one (sans the onions).
3. La Pizza Rina – I love those little 8 inchers.
4. Domino’s Pizza - makes me reminisce to the days when pops – only on special occasions – used to treat us to Domino’s Pizza (he was/is a health freak!)
5. Round Table Pizza – I’ve never tried it before, but BIL seems to swear by it, so I’m curious.

Yeah, I know, not very interesting, but I’m not much of a pizza connoisseur. Teach me a lil’ sumthin’ sumthin’ will ya?

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a good weekend and I’ll see y’all on Monday!

P.S. Wish me luck with BJ Penn this weekend!

Fave Five Friday: Talents

(This one’s actually wifey’s suggestion. Mad props to her!)

So last week, we went to watch our friend Heejin perform a piano recital at the University of Hawaii’s Orvis Auditorium. Sistah’s got some skills lemme tell you!

After witnessing Jin’s super-talent in person, wifey suggested I put this out to all y’all to see what hidden (or not so hidden) talents we gots ourselves. Hopefully, you won’t have to reach (like me) to find your 5.

Holla!

1. Friendly/People Person & Happy/Never Grouchy – for the most part, I think I’m a friendly, approachable, people person kinda guy. I hate people who are unfriendly, snobby and/or stand-off-ish, or who think they are better than you. My close friends will probably tell you I’m a little too friendly when I get all touchy feely with them! LOL!  I don’t understand people who can go through life being unhappy. You have one life, why not make the most of it right? Don’t worry, be happy!
2. King of Nicknames – I love making up nicknames for people I know. You folks up in hurr, my co-workers, friends, etc. Loves it!
3. Semi-athletic – I can usually pick up anything that involves, throwing, catching, running, and jumping, with a little bit of hand-eye coordination.
4. Never Give Up Attitude – not sure if this is a blessing or a curse, but I don’t like failing at anything, so I keep at things until there’s no more keeping-at anymore. Ha!
5. Jack of All Trades Master of None – this one’s probably due to the trait above. And maybe my short attention span as well. Whether it be coding for the web, strumming a few chords on my uke, spinning a basketball on my finger, blurting out nonsense via this blog, etc., I’d like to think that I’m pretty decent at whatever I decide to put my mind to. Don’t think I’ve ever become a “Master” at any one thing (even though I’m sometimes called a “Webmaster”! LOL!), but at least I try my best.

I don’t even think any of those above are talents. I tol’ you I was reachin’! Haha! Anyway, I’m sure you guys can name some REAL talents that you possess. Share, share!

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a good weekend and I’ll see y’all on Monday!

Fave Five Friday – Karaoke Songs

Is our WWE `ohana a singin’ bunch? Let’s find out shall we!?

This week’s Fave Five topic is… yep, you guessed it… Karaoke Songs (and please don’t pronounce that “care-e-o-key” )!

These are songs that you either like to sing yourself (if you’re da mic hog of da group), or with the group. Either way, it’s fun stuffs no?

1. Let Me Be There – (singing it like) the Ekolu version of course!
2. More Than Words – only if someone knows how to harmonize the other part.
3. A Song For Mama – most notes be in my range (easy).
4. Nothin But A G Thang – extra fun when you’re feelin’ a little tipsy and battling someone verse to verse. LOL!
5. Anything Rick Astley – need I say more?

How about the annoying 5? Here’s mine:

1. Summer Nights or Bohemian Rhapsody – these are actually fun group songs, but sometimes overplayed.
2. I Will Survive – girly song… I can’t relate.
3. Barbie Girl – see above
4. Anything unfamiliar or “self indulgent” (as Simon would say) – nothing more boring than watching/listening to a song that puts the singer in their own little world.
5. Anything Britney or Boy Band-ish – need I say more?

On a side note, how about dem cheesy (local) music videos dey got goin’ on with some of dem songs? Or the Korean kine that uses footage that doesn’t even relate to the song? LOL!

Happy VHO7V Friday y’all! Have a good weekend and I’ll see y’all on Monday!

Fave Five Friday – Leis/Flowers

Happy May Day y’all! I promise I won’t say it. My willpower is strong. Will… not… say… it!

May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii!

Gaaaah! Sorry, I just couldn’t hold it in!

Yes, today is Lei Day (in Hawaii… STOP IT!), and, as such, we will do an apropos Fave Five list. Now I’m no lei/flower expert, so my list will be pretty standard, a.k.a boy-like. Please excuse yeah?

Hopefully, the rest of y’all can provide a better list than this.

1. Maile Lei – manly, reminds me of special occasions.
2. Pikake Lei – da buggah smells GOOD!
3. Kukui Nut Lei – simple, easy, doesn’t mess up your clothes, manly. Nuff Sedd.
4. Cherry Blossoms – for the amount of times I’ve been to Japan, I’ve (believe it or not) never witnessed cherry blossom IRL. I shall one day. Until that day, though… *sigh*
5. Sunflowers or Gerberas - there’s just something about these thangs that puts a smile on people’s faces no?

Pretty blah eh? Sorry, I tried… Edumacate me please.

P.S. Happy VHO7V Friday y’all!

Don’t forget to check out my latest article:

Bangkok Chef – The Little Thai Restaurant That Could

*** Woah! R.I.P. Danny Gans.

Fave Five Friday – Drinks

Buy me drinky drinky?

I could’ve sworn we covered this topic already in a previous Fave Five list, but looking back at the archives, I don’t see it, so hurr we goooo!

Personally, I’m-a-gonna have to make separate lists ’cause my favorite drinks differ based on when and where I yam. OK, let’s do this!

At the crib:

1. Water – We filter ours using one of dem Brita water pitchers from Costco. Now that’s what I call high quality H2O.
2. Apple Juice – Those 1 gallon, two-packs, again purchased from Costco. YUM!
3. Vitamin Water – We used to tank these often, but it got expensive real quick. Speaking of which, aren’t their new commercials just hilarious! They even have a fake microsite! Classic!
4. Calpico – Pops won a whole case in a golf tourney so wifey and I took a bunch home with us. The Aloe flavored one is not as bad as it sounds and is actually pretty good, FYI.
5. Primo – She go with poke right after work!

In the Club:

1. (Almost) Anything on draught – Can’t go wrong with the stuffs straight from the tap
2. Heiney – I used to like it better when I was the only one in the club green bottling. Now, errone is doing it which kinda sucks.  Gotta switch it up now. Good thing I hardly go clubbing anymore. Ha!
3. Orange Juice – when I don’t feel like boozing it up, I go O.J. Figgah it’s cheap and somewhat healthy (good way to get my Vitamin C).
4. Jack and Coke – anything with Coke is a go.
5. Bud Light – tastes like water, but when there’s nothing else… Can’t forget to send a shout out to Corona for nostalgia’s sake. Makes me remember back to a time when drinking it with the lime wedge at the old Oceans on Thursday nights was cool. LOL!

Dining Out:

1. Water (with a straw) – sometimes the taps/pitchers/cups at the joints I go to are questionable.
2. Coke (with a straw) – I usually get this when I go to the places above. Figgah, they can’t contaminate the Coke dispenser too can they? Hehe! Coke goes well with burger and fry kine places no?
3. Asahi – any time I go to a Japanese restaurant, this is a guaranz ballbaranz! Just goes with the food. Oh, and green tea too.
4. Authentic-tasting Nippon Green Tea – see above
5. When in Rome… – I like to change the brand of beer I drink, depending on where I am. Tsingtao at Chinese restaurants, Corona at Mexican restaurants, Singha at Thai restaurants, Moretti at Italian restaurants, etc.

Sum’more:

1. Pocari Sweat – drink of choice when walking/running around the muthaland.
2. Anything Hawaiian Sun – pretty much everything in their lineup is onos.
3. Ito En Natural Fruit Teas – Mmmm, but kinda expensive at Stan Sheriff!

So what say you? Post your list(s) below a-ight? Happy VHO7V Friday folks! Be safe and have a nice, fun weekend k? Shoots!

P.S. Any kiddies out dea reading… remember… no drink until you stay of age k?
P.P.S. Any social drinkers out dea reading… remember… drink responsibly… no drink and drive k?
