Boy, it sure didn’t take long for the holidays to become a distant memory. It was all business at IOLANI yesterday with end-of-the-year accounting, inventory, and personnel issues keeping us busy. The Year of the Dragon has been kind to us so far … but then again, there are still 362 days to go! And …
Aloha, my peeps! Today is our first “official” workday of 2012 since yesterday was the designated New Year holiday. Things are pretty much back to normal as the streets are busy and people are back in the work mode. The holidays are over and it’s time to get back to work … ugh! I took …
It’s day #2 of the new year, Jan. 2nd, which also happens to be a very special day in our family because it’s Alex’s birthday! I’m not sure what he has planned for today, but I’m sure it involves some partying! He and my dad have the same birthday which I always thought was pretty …
HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!! We got up early this morning and joined Halau I Ka Wekiu out at Sandy Beach to welcome the first day of 2012.   And although it was still dark and a bit chilly when we arrived, I was amazed at the amount of people who turned out to watch the …
I want to wish all of our family & friends in Japan and other parts of the world a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It’s still the eve here in Hawai’i so 2012 will not arrive for a few hours yet. I can already here the traditional fireworks going off somewhere in the valley … so …
Good morning, my friends! 2012 will be upon us in a couple of days, so I hope you all have your New Year’s resolutions ready to go! My first resolution is to learn to use Twitter, and the second is to write an original song … everything after that is the usual b.s. (like clean …
Aloha, peeps! We still have 3 more days to go but I’m already getting excited about 2012! I have to confess that I’m a little afraid of what lies ahead because ever since 2008, the global economic & social crisis seems to gradually be getting worse. But regardless of what 2012 brings, we all need …
Aloha! Up early again, but this time I have to take my car in to get serviced. I always like to do it first thing in the morning so that my car gets worked on immediately. I’ll probably head on over to Zippy’s or to Town on 9th Ave. to grab some coffee while I …
Aloha, peeps! Ok, I’m feeling much better this morning. Two of my New Year’s resolutions will be to find new software to do my blogs and to learn how to use Twitter! I know a lot of you are trying to follow me on Twitter and I apologize for not using it yet … but …
Aloha everyone! Today is actually the official Christmas holiday .. say what?! Apparently the powers-that-be decided that we needed a day off to celebrate Christmas. So if that’s the case, what was yesterday all about?? The only thing I can think of is that the retailers need another day to squeeze out more sales … …
