I must say that the Ann Taylor location in Kahala Mall has some excellent reading material. Lots of classics!
Must be there are a few husbands and kids who hang out in the waiting area while wives and mommies shop for clothes.

The popular gas stations run by Costco have a new competitor in Hawaii with the opening of Sam’s Club’s own gas station. Though from the looks of things, I don’t know if this gas station will be around with business like this.
I don’t mind the non-existent lines though, makes gassing up so much faster. [...]

Just wanted to say thanks to The Counter for giving Hawaii its own Twitter special last night. If you bought two burgers on “Twitter Tuesday” then you’d get either free sweet fries or a dessert.
To beat the crowds, we got there a tad bit early but got the okay that the special would still apply. [...]

The Hawaii “cell phone” ban kicked in today, so I did I break the law by changing tracks on my iPod?
And yes, my car engine was running.
I may be okay since the HPD FAQ about this ban mentions this caveat:
A violation occurs when the operator of the motor vehicle holds the device in his/her hand [...]

The people have spoken, and the undisputed, most addicted fan of The Counter burgers is none other than Ryan Kanno. @ryankanno garnered over half the votes, beating the fanatic likes of @abaggy and @angelakeen.
Even with an impassioned entreaty for Pinoy support, @abaggy couldn’t keep up with the social engineering of Mr. Kanno. Congratulations Ryan! You [...]

Can you believe Ala Moana Center is turning 50 years old on Thursday, August 13, 2009? That’s even before Hawaii became a U.S. state!
As part of the mall’s 50th Anniversary, there are some planned events and celebrations including a photo contest where patrons can send in their favorite picture of Ala Moana from the past [...]

Since Starbucks is making way for Seattle’s Best Coffee in the Borders location at Windward Mall, I figured I better give them a chance. While picking up some Pinoy power at the Ward Borders, I juiced up at Seattle’s Best.
The coffee was good, but the service was great! Very friendly staff who was willing to [...]

I picked up several copies of this icon of Pinoy power, Ben: A Memoir, from Street Kid to Governor.
Even better, I got the leather bound version. Got plans for these…

Some things just never change. There was hope, but I wondered if Windward Mall really had it together. The unfortunate answer is clearly evident after I saw this.
Yes, the Starbucks inside Borders Books at Windward Mall is closing. Can you name another location where both a McDonalds and Starbucks closed its businesses? Signs of a [...]

Remember Sweet Sensation, one of those hot ladies from the 80’s singing groups? Remember their hit Take It While It’s Hot that starts off with “It’s time to jam.” Consider that a poor lead in to Club 939’s Pajama Jam happening tonight.
Go to Club 939 dressed in your sexiest sleepwear and take it while it’s [...]

On Wednesday, there was a strange occurrence in the neighborhood as a film production crew settled in and marked off stretches of roadway.
Had LOST started filming its final season? It couldn’t be since missing were the telltale white trucks and precursory set dressers. Additionally, there were no sightings of Jorge Garcia, Naveen Andrews, Josh Holloway, [...]

After eating some crepes in Kailua, how about going to fly a kite? Was a windy day which helped the Sesame Street friends get airborne, but not the dud Elmo mini kite.
The Elmo mini kite was a dud.

If you happen to be craving crepes while in Kailua, head on over to 131 Hekili Street, the home of Crepes No Ka `Oi.
Their menu features both sweet and savory crepes which are surprisingly filling. We sampled the Temptation in Paradise and Lovers’ Delight (with strawberry ice cream).

The balloon artists of Balloon Adventures are simply awesome. Their creations are great and very imaginative. It’s a family run business with like 9 brothers who each do several events throughout the week. Crazy!
Balloon Adventures was at the Pacific Club for Easter and at Windward Mall over this past weekend. Here’s some of their handy [...]

Here I thought Windward Mall was on its way to financial solvency, beating its reputation as a financial deathtrap. The renovation plans to go upscale are done, and new tenants have occupied empty spaces. Heck, a brand new Aeropostale is on the premises.
But just when things are looking up, this travesty happens!
And the bad news [...]

So the new Calvin Klein billboard is causing a stir in New York, but is this gigantic Victoria’s Secrets poster any less racy?
This image facades the construction site of the new Victoria’s Secrets at Ala Moana. Anyways, this location is now hiring.

It was one month ago and the Disney Store at Ala Moana was under construction. Now, the new location is open for business.
It’s quite a bit smaller than the previous location taking over the former location of Sharper Image.

Now in stores, new soda from Mountain Dew and Aloha Maid?!
Mountain Dew’s Game Fuel Horde Red and Alliance Blue are now in Hawaii. Here’s a review of Horde Red from Bevreview.com.
I didn’t know popular juice maker, Aloha Maid, produces soda as well. Iced tea and guava soda? Umm, I’ll pass.
