Review an iPhone SE Case?
I guess it’s not a well kept secret that Apple is about to announce a new iPhone model. The supposedly small form factor SE model already has cases ready for review.

Be Like Steph
Subliminally, I guess I want to be like Steph (Curry of the Golden State Warriors).
Well, not really, having a gimpy ankle ain’t fun. But I’m hoping Steph’s ankle brace of choice, the Zamst A2-DX
What Is a $14 Peach?
So what does a peach costing $14 from Minamoto Kitchoan taste like? Freelance blogging contributor, Kimi, shares her thoughts about the Momosayaka and the Tousenka.
First off, this peach is not a fresh piece of fruit from the grocery, but rather a peach preserved in jelly. The Momosayaka is half a peach, costing $14. If you want the entire fruit, you need to pay $20 for the Tousenka. If shelf life is a consideration, the Tousenka should be consumed within two weeks while the Momosayaka lasts three months preserved in its jelly.
A sweet jelly encompasses a soft sweet peach and is refreshing but too sweet for delicate tastes. Kimi says, “It was like a fancy Del Monte fruit cup with better ingredients. My palate is sensitive to sugar so I don’t think most people would think it’s too sweet. To help you gauge the sweetness factor, I can only eat plain yogurt because all the yogurts with fruit or flavored yogurt is too sweet for me.”
So what’s Kimi’s final say?
I wouldn’t purchase this for myself, but I think it would make a nice gift. Since the Momosayaka and the Tousenka taste the same, I would recommend buying the Tousenka to get more bang for your buck.
So if you’re a diehard peach fan, get the Tousenka and enjoy!
Honolulu Rail: Ads or Graffiti?
It’s only a matter of time before these clean canvases presented by the massive pillars of the Honolulu Rail Transit system become targets for graffiti or advertisements.
I’m hoping not but just too tempting being so big and so clean. Wonder what the ideas are to prevent defacement? Something better than the long gone decorative fence liners of Kamehameha Highway.
Seen at Sam’s Club
While filling up gas at the Sam’s Club Gas Station, I saw this on the screen on the gas pump.
What do you make of this diamond pendant in yellow gold?
Time to Get Versed in the Harry Potter Universe?
Although the official opening for Universal Studios Hollywood’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter doesn’t open until April 7, 2016, “technical rehearsals” are underway. These soft openings are unannounced and somewhat random, likely to open and close whenever. But the point being, you can actually experience Hogwarts in California now (if you’re lucky).
Never interested in the Harry Potter series previously, I may just have to dig into a book (or two) to get versed with Harry and his pals.
Dear Employee
When I ask that the stamps of two separate loyalty cards be combined, I don’t mean add one set of stamps to the other card and give me back BOTH cards. I mean I’m grateful that 14 stamps were transferred to complete one card, and I still have those 14 stamps on a second card, but that’s not how it works. I guess we’ll call it even since you didn’t add stamps for my $4 drink transaction.
What the Non-Fans Asked Siri During the Super Bowl
I’m kinda curious what were the popular questions fielded by Siri during Super Bowl 50. Here are some of the questions I remember the Non-Fans asking.
How old is Peyton Manning? 39.
What college did Cam Newton play at? Auburn. Not Florida as the Non-Fans guessed.
Is Pat Bowlen alive? Yes, but battling Alzheimer’s.
On a related note, here’s what people Googled during the Super Bowl.
Chicken Crossing the Road
For whatever reason, I find this video of a chicken running across the road of the Target Kailua parking lot very entertaining.
Maybe she was amped up from that Starbucks coffee.
St. Pickolas Is Real
Not legend, not lore, but reality. The Christmas Pickle aka St. Pickolas is indeed of our world…so says Hallmark.
Did you find the pickle?
An Explosion of Impulsiveness
What happens when (select) local Longs Drugs stores have a 90% clearance on Christmas ornaments and decorations? You get an explosion of impulsiveness that looks like this.
Of course you need Christmas-themed Mickey and Minnie Mouse in large and medium sizes.
And you need even more medium size mouses.
But it’s not only Disney items on clearance, your childhood Rudolph friends like the Abominable Snowmonster aka “Bumble” are on sale.
Really though, despite these enormous savings, what would you do with these impulsive purchases? I would have preferred to save up for these Kyrie 2 Abominable Snowmonster kicks instead.
