NFL Sunday

Wassup! It’s another relaxing Sunday here in our beautiful islands, and I’m still trying to kick this bad-ass cold I caught in Japan.  Although most of the symptoms are gone, I still have a real wicked cough which makes it hard to sleep at night.  The good news is that my voice is slowly coming …

Mahalo!

Aloha, peeps! Feeling a lot better today and even have a voice … well, sort of.  We played at a Waikiki Volleyball fundraiser down at the Aloha Tower Marketplace last night and I really struggled.  Yesterday was the first time that my voice started coming back and I really shouldn’t have pushed it so hard.  …

Getting better …

Finally starting to feel better … fever and body ache are gone today and only have the congestion and squeaky voice to deal with.  I’ve been bombarding my system with vitamin C and other supplements, drinking herbal tea, and applying Vicks to my throat area since we got back from Japan on Tuesday.  I’ve got …

Feeling like crap …

‘Morning, all. Woke up this morning with more body ache and fever – this sucks!  I took two Tylenol and started feeling a little better after a while.  I could feel myself coming down with something during our last day in Japan … it started with a little cough in the morning and by the …

Back in Hawai’i

Hi everyone, We flew in from Tokyo around noon today after another life-changing journey to the Tohoku area … the region hit hard by the March 11th earthquake and tsunami.  I have so much to tell you guys, but it may have to wait a day or two because it appears that I’ve come down …

Heading north …

It’s now 6am here in sunny, cool Tokyo and I’ve been up since 4am … jet lag sucks! I’ll probably start packing up my stuff soon before heading down with the guys to have breakfast. “Brother” Noland Conjugacion is also with our Hawai’i delegation and ran into a funny episode while going through security yesterday …

Back in Japan

Aloha, everyone! We flew into Tokyo late last night and have had a busy day of courtesy visits and meetings. I didn’t get a good night’s sleep (so what’s new) and ended up waking up at 3:30am! We had a nice visit at the U.S. embassy this morning with the ambassador and his wife before …

Peaceful Sunday

I can’t believe I did it again … it’s 5:30am on Sunday morning and I’m wide awake!  It’s probably because I ate after I got home from Kani Ka Pila last night and I usually don’t sleep well after eating that late.  It’s still dark outside and it’s so quiet that you can almost hear …

… and we’re back!

Howdy, folks! Flew back from Kaua’i yesterday afternoon after a quick overnight trip.  ManoaDNA performed at the Grand Hyatt in Po’ipu last night for Monsanto Corp.’s big farewell event which turned into quite a music marathon for us.  People were having so much fun that they asked us to play longer … we gladly obliged …
