After Christmas Shopping at Ala Moana
After Christmas shopping (aka gift exchanges) at Ala Moana. Some random pictures I took.
This was after eating at Jade Dynasty.

Kanye West’s Monster Leaked?
Kanye West’s latest video release, Monster, was supposedly leaked, and here it is in its rough form.
Monster has got to be one of the best tracks from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. The cameos by Jay-Z and Nicki Minaj are over the top!
Food and Foliage
What’s a Monday morning of vacation without food and foliage? Went to a family brunch serving pancake, waffles, lil smokies, Portuguese sausage, papaya, rice cake, bacon, and Christollen and Panettone breads. Then after brunch was foliage viewing, and kids pulling weeds “for fun.”
Reviewed Jade Dynasty Restaurant
Curious about the new Jade Dynasty Restaurant in Ala Moana? Long story short, a family of dim sum eaters who typically dine at Legend in Chinatown and Royal Garden in the Ala Moana Hotel enjoyed the food. Overall, we gave it four stars in our Yelp review.
Pictures of some of our dishes.
A Pic of President Obama
Thanks to a flash from one of the closer photographers, this picture of President Obama came out decent (when enlarged at least).
President Obama is followed by Senator Daniel Akaka and Congresswoman Mazie Hirono.
Gingerbread House from Caked Las Vegas
Building and decorating a gingerbread house (or two) has become a Christmas tradition in our family. The kids enjoy it, and kits from Costco make it convenient. But have you actually tried eating the finished gingerbread house? Not so good, not good at all. Wouldn’t you think you could eat a gingerbread house?
Now Caked Las Vegas is selling their Gingerbread House Kit that includes fresh baked gingerbread house parts and all the trimmings. Kits are available in small or large sizes, but more importantly, the gingerbread pieces look and taste great. Normally, we dump the house in the trash after a few days, but I think we’ll be eating these Caked homes.
AC Carter, Cool Greys, and a Monster Dunk
But not all together. There was an Anthony “AC” Carter sighting in this highlight reel of JR Smith throwing down a monster slam. In slow motion replay, check out JR’s “Cool Greys” Air Jordan XI.

Packed at the Moanalua Craft Fair
Haven’t been to a craft fair in ages but did manage to hit up the large Moanalua Craft Fair last weekend. Still the same vibe and more or less the same lot of stuff. But there were new things like Silly Bands, Nemu-Nemu, and even more vendors covering the campus. Parking was still bad. Just a few pics below.
Pepperminty Kicks
Talking about coolness and ice, I saw these kicks the other day, and I had to snap some pics ninja-ishly.
These Nike Air Trainer I Premium Quickstrikes are definitely cool like peppermint.
Are You Getting a Google Cr-48 Notebook?
Did you apply for a Google-branded Cr-48 Chrome Notebook? Are you getting one? Check out this Cr-48 tracker to see if your neighborhood is slated for Cr-48 shipments. Cool, but bummed none are coming to Kailua. 🙁
