A Very Special Birthday

First of all, thank you EVERYONE for sending me birthday wishes. For you to take time out of your day to call, text, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram me really means a lot and I’m very humbled by it. Even though I don’t have my own Facebook page, I still got all your messages and it was really awesome!

A Happy Valentine’s Update!

To our friends in Japan, I know you’ve already had Valentine’s day, but here in Hawai’i it’s the day of love! Hopefully, you are spending it with the people you love! Happy anniversary to Mom & Dad also, who celebrate their 32nd anniversary today!

It’s February! Back To Work!

my first post for February, and my first one since the beginning of the year. Don’t worry, I didn’t have major surgery or anything, I just took a month off from ManoaDNA to relax and focus on my other two jobs! Here’s what you missed…

Happy New Year Japanese-Style!

Aloha & happy new year to all of you! To all my Japan friends, あけましておめでとうございます!今年もよろしくおねがいします。

It has been a while since my last post, so I wanted to share how we celebrate the new year in Hawai’i. Being local Japanese, we have our own modified traditional customs that we celebrate each new year!

Toy Drive Tonight! Are you Coming?

Hey everyone, before I get into last week, I just want to say one final thank you to everyone who has supported our toy drive this year. Tonight’s event (rain or shine, hail or wind, tsunami or hurricane) will be a great event and benefit MANY people in need.

One Week Till Toy Drive

Another crazy week for MānoaDNA, as we had gigs & activities to keep us busy! I especially want to remind everyone that there is only ONE WEEK left before our toy drive! Hopefully, youʻve already made plans to be at Gordon Biersch next Friday!
