One part of my job that I absolutely love is when people fall in love and start dating. It’s so nice to see love in the air and men and women figuring out that the opposite sex do not always think alike. Actually when I see that last part in action it reminds me how happy I am to be married knowing that I won’t ever have to go through the whole dating process ever again (just one of the…
You know there’s something kind of special about those old mom and pop stores that are disappearing way too fast. I remember going to Arakawa’s as a kid buying my very first baseball bat, glove and cup. Years later who would have thought that I would end up sitting next Mr. Arakawa (of Arakawa’s) at football games? He’s such a nice old man. It’s sad to see men like him go out of business because they can’t keep up with…
One of the nice things about growing up in a church and being an active part of a youth group is having your life fairly well documented through pictures. Every now and then one of these old pictures will pop up and someone will send it to me. I suspect that they are probably cleaning up around their house and they stumble upon it and since I’m in the picture they can’t possibly throw it away and therefore they feel…
Ah the joys of Google reader. If you have gmail (and in this day and age, who doesn’t?) you may have noticed a row of words in the upper left corner of the your screen. Among the Calendar, Documents, Photos and whatnot there is also a Reader. So what’s a Reader you may ask? Well, for the longest time it was a great mystery as to what the Reader was and what its purpose was. Thanks to Jenny, I have…
Wow, what a busy couple of months. Keao and I have had two of the busiest months I have ever had in my life and it ain’t over yet. For instance since the beginning of this month in addition to our usual MiniChurch on Wednesday night, church on Friday night and hang out on Sunday night we’ve also been on two double-dates (with Justin/Megan and George/Dina), two weddings (Tom/Grace and Daniel/Erin and we have three more to this month alone),…
So last Wednesday I finally went and played golf again. It’s been a while since I’ve played and I had plans to play Pearl Country Club on Saturday so we decided to warm up at Pali. Now when we play, we have a rule that whomever has the highest score on the first hole has to keep score for the round. But we didn’t feel it would be fair to make John keep score (since he doesn’t really claim to…
So almost exactly one month ago, my sister-in-law, Cassandra, gave birth to two wonderful twin girls. Keao has blogged about them and posted pictures so check out her blog to get the latest twin news (keaosunaoka.blogspot.com). So while Cassandra was in the hospital Keao and I agreed to watch Lauren, the twins’ older 15 month old sister. Well, I guess I must have done something to traumatize this poor girl because now, even a month later, she can’t stand to…
Last Friday I got to do something that I’ve wanted to do for a long time. After bugging Vinnie for over a year, he finally relented and took me along with him for a night on the town. In case you didn’t know, the Honolulu Police Department has a ride-along program where you get to see what the police officers do. Apparently it’s a popular program because they had a whole sheet of rules and waivers that I had to…
So the other day Steve and I went out to lunch. There’s this place near the fish auction that he’s been raving about so finally we had the opportunity to go and try their wares. It’s called Nico’s at Pier 38. It was really crowded at lunch so if you go there be prepared to fight for a table and stand in line. A drink and a buzzer Because you order in a small kitchen they give you a buzzer…
So it’s been awhile since I’ve updated this thing, but it’s not for a lack of excitement going on in my life, it’s just that I’ve been lazy planning and doing stuff so please bear with me. A few Fridays ago, a bunch of us decided to go to Three Tables to do a short shore dive. Included in the dive were John-John, my brother Stanton, Keidi and her friend Christy and another diver from Keidi’s boat named Paul. Kevin…
