Love This Volkswagen Tiguan Commercial
Saw this TV commercial for the Volkswagen Tiguan and love it! Didn’t know what to expect from the Riding Dirty music, the bass boomers in the trunk, and the car’s underlighting.
International Delight Iced Coffee Tastes Like…
International Delight is more known for their coffee creamer so why not get into the coffee market? That’s exactly what they did with the introduction of three flavors of iced coffee that comes in a carton. Now available is Original, Mocha, and Vanilla.
At the local Safeway, only the Original “Sweet & Creamy” was available, and it is sweet and creamy. No need to add any International Delight creamer since it’s seemingly already in there. What the Original flavor reminds me of is Costco’s Latte Freeze drink, only in a creamier liquid form. To me, the drink is sweeter than coffee-ish, so I add more ice to dilute the sweetness. I gotta say that the milk carton container is very convenient to get a hit of coffee whenever I want.
Now to find Mocha and Vanilla…

Tempting Fate? Titanic’s Anniversary Cruise
Would you take a cruise re-enacting the voyage of the sunken Titanic? On its 100-year anniversary of this tragedy, the cruise ship, Balmoral, will take the exact route as the fateful Titanic.
The ship will carry 1309 passengers (the same number of Titanic passengers) on an 8-night journey, and on April 14, hold a memorial at the location of the Titanic’ sinking. The on-board menu and entertainment will mirror that of 1912.
I’m sure the contemporary Titanic movie will be screened during the voyage and heck, Celine Dion’s My Heart Will Go On will be overplayed.
Would you take this fate-tempting trip?
Has Linsanity Gone Too Far? Introducing the Lin-katsu
Has all the hoopla around NY Knicks floor general, Jeremy Lin, gone too far? His surname poses so many possibilities to rev up the hype, but this one made me laugh. Â According to Tannya Joaquin, local plate lunch chain, L & L, has introduced the Lin-katsu. Â That’s chicken katsu with a special sauce that’s more spicy with mayo to reflect JLin’s Taiwanese heritage.
But if you want to sample the Linkatsu, it’s only available at the Keeaumoku, Airport, Kahala locations.
And look, dining on Lin-katsu wouldn’t be complete without wearing a Lin-katsu shirt!

How Memories Are Made
What makes something truly memorable? Is it the ultimate highs or the deep lows that keep memories fresh? Probably. But when the crests and the troughs happen together, now that’s when memories are forever etched in your cerebrum.
More on the memorable highs and lows from our recent snow trip to Shaver Lake, CA…
An Acapella Anuhea Is Higher than the Clouds
Caught Anuhea performing a live on-air concert on 98.5 FM last week. Her acapella version of Higher than the Clouds was great! Take a (short) listen…
Wonder if this version is available somewhere?
Trenta Up!
So I didn’t realize that Starbucks still sold the super-sized Trenta drinks here in Hawaii. Â Not only that, but it seems that Starbucks is making this temporary offering a permanent menu item nationwide. Â And since we’re talking about the Trenta, I had to go out and get one.
Illy Is Back at Costco
Look what’s back at Costco, canned Illy coffee! It’s not the “Do Not Shake” Cappuccino but rather, the new issimo Mochaccino. Â And you’re allowed to shake the Mochaccinos gently.
And of course, since it’s at Costco, expect to buy in bulk.
