From New Year’s Eve 2009
The last day of 2009 was spent with family, friends, food, fireworks, and smoke. Pictures for proof.
High resolution images are available in my Mobile Me gallery.

Dinosaurs Unearthed at the Bishop Museum
Before it ends on January 4, 2010, go check out the Dinosaurs Unearthed exhibit currently at the Bishop Museum. The large (and moving) dinosaur displays are pretty cool. You can learn a thing or two with updated information about dinosaurs. Did you know juvenille T-Rexes are furry with feathers and that T-Rexes are more related to birds?
Some pictures of the exhibit are available in my MobileMe gallery. Here’s a slideshow of the pics.
After unearthing the dinosaurs, take a stroll through the renovated Hawaiian Hall. Very beautiful and educational. Then finish off your tour at the always fun Science Adventure Center to watch an erupting volcano and navigate submersible vehicles.
Pete Carroll in Hawaii?
A pulp reader reports the sighting of USC head football coach, Pete Carroll, bodyboarding in Waikiki.
The pulp reader’s words to the Coach -“Hey Coach.” Unforgettable words for an unforgettable moment.
To Infinity
The new infinity pool at the Sheraton Waikiki taken with my iPhone.
The pool looked cool, matching up with the ocean horizon but also looked very small.
Ringing in the New Year
How else do you welcome the New Year of 2010 without these activities?
Glow Putt Golf in Windward Mall. No President Obama sighting having just missed him and the family watching Avatar at the Mall’s Regal theaters.
And nothing brings out the classiness of a shopping mall like a temporary, indoor Fireworks booth.
The New Year wouldn’t be complete without sales of alcohol and cigarettes to the underaged from this location.
New Years means cheese.
A rare blue moon, an almost moon, and smokey fireworks on the eve of the New Year.
Random Pictures from December 28, 2009
I’m still catching up with 2009 with random pictures taken on 12/28/2009.
Was 2009 fierce for you?
Retro-styled Air Jordans at Macy’s.
UH men’s basketball takes on the powerhouse of Northwestern State. Can you spot former UH head coach Riley Wallace in the stands?
Some Pics from the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail
Some scenic shots taken on the Makapuu Lighthouse Trail can be seen at my MobileMe gallery. Sorry, no pictures of meeting Tannya Joaquin.
Where Robert Cazimero Sat
Long time Hawaiian music legend, Robert Cazimero, was at Kenny’s Restaurant at the Kamehameha Shopping Center the other day. Almost didn’t recognize him without his signature bandanna look, but I’m pretty sure that was him.
I didn’t get a picture as he was exiting the eatery, but this is the chair where Robert Cazimero sat (and that’s not him sitting in the chair in the pic).
And just for fun, here’s a picture of my daily special, teri beef king sandwich.
Does This Mean You’ve Been Naughty or Nice?
When you come to work and find that your coworkers did this to everything in your office cubicle, does it mean you’ve been naughty or nice this year?
Yes, these are real pictures, and the good wrapping paper was used too!
Pics from Dinner at Kai Market
Our annual holiday dinner brought the usual laughs and eats. This was the first time any of us tried out the buffet at Kai Market in the Sheraton Waikiki , and um, yeah, I don’t think I’ll be going back. Nothing wrong per se, but nothing right for $49 per adult. The desserts were the best part, featuring a few worthy creations from Satura Cakes.
The hottest grab bag gifts this year were a Nerf toy gun and a Starbucks tumbler that looked like a regular iced drink cup. That Snuggie got some looks though.
