-vic

[Mocha]

I've not seen the Shrek 2 movie. I'm a senior member and sometimes think that although Shrek has a nice personality...he looks a little scary.
Agree that it is very hot. Can you imagine how it's going to be in mid July-August. Wish I had air condition :rolleyes: ;)

[kukui_nut]

...we are gonna go watch Shrek 2 in a bit.
Hey, make sure you post your review here (somewhere in here, anyway). :)

And, yeah, it is stinkin' hot lately... :(

[helen]

Yeah post it in the "The Big Picture" forum.

[aleno]

well, my son found this site so now he wants me to post on all the threads....hahahaha. I told him only the ones I can relate to.

I was bored so I came up to my sons room to see if he wanted to do something. He was busy on the computer and I told him he wasting his time, he should be outside enjoying the day.

I still wondering how he got me to post....hahahaha :eek:

[slickvic]

We had a really good weekend! Friday we hit the beach at Ko'olina. It was a very nice time! I love that beach.

Saturday we went to church for a first communion then ate luch at Mililani BBQ.
Have you ever eaten there? man that place is really good!
I had the Saba and half of my boy's Meat Jun. Then we came home and wached Lord of The Ring3 part 3 on DVD.

Today we spent 2 hours at Ala Moana Beach Park, then a friend invited us to swim at her pool at Nauru Towers. wow so nice over there... Then we Went to the Dollar Theatres in resturant row. we saw Jonhson Family Vacation.
We had dinner at Sansei! It was off the hook!

I just got home from work so I thought I'd check out the post I did earlier. It's a little after 2 am and I'm beat but too wired to fall asleep. I need to wake up early to take my son to school.

The food look some ono from the last post. Wish had that kind food over here.

[Leimamo]

Today my husband came home after a 3 month sea tour. So why am I here? Because my grand daughter is hogging all of his attention and soon my daughter will be home from work and she'll drain whatever energy he'll have leftover, then I'll get him when it's time for him to kau kau on beef stew, ahi poke, opihi, poi and rice that I prepared lastnight. Might not seem like a special meal but since poi is like gold in Japan, it's VERY special. I was too lazy to make potato salad but I don't want to spoil him too much. ;)

Maybe for Father's Day, I'll invite the other younger local boys from the ship to come over and have a small pa'ina; Pulehu some steaks, make poke, lomi-lomi salmon,bust open some more poi and the ukuleles.

Now if you can get your other son to stack some cans of Spam®, they can have one small kine "Processed Meat War."


Speaking of food, I keep going back to look at you pic of the sushi from Sansei... :rolleyes:

We're at Yokosuka. ;)

I'm typing this from a computer terminal in Hamilton Library. On my way here, I tried to get two kitties to come say hi.

Hi,

just got home after dropping off my son at the ex's. I enjoy my time with him and always hate when he leaves.

We had dinner at his favorite burger joint and talked about my life in Hawaii. He sort of been hinting he wanted to start his geneology but I don't know much about my family. For a 15 year old he's really mature.

I'm off for a couple of days so I'll probably spend time in the garden or go fishing.

[YoungNeil]

My night time routine. Have a snack, read the Seattle papers on line (next day's paper is up by 9pm our time) and see what they say about the Mariners--I'm a Mariner (and baseball) fanatic. Surf the net a bit then call it a night.

[kukui_nut]

We're at Yokosuka. ;)
Oh, that's like south of Tokyo, north of Osaka, right?
Get one naval shipyard or something, if I'm not mistaken. :)

[aleno]

What a beautiful day here in northern california. Just got in from watering the orchard.

I don't know why but the song Honolulu City lights popped in my head. I haven't heard that song since my cassette tape player when eat the tape. That must have been around dec of 1999.

Another song I recently remember was Cheryl Moana Marie. I can't remember who sang that one. Anybody know?

[Leimamo]

Oh, that's like south of Tokyo, north of Osaka, right?

Yes, about an hour (or three, depending on traffic) south of Tokyo and maybe 4 hours by bullet train north of Osaka. And yes, it's a Naval Base that is home to the USS Kittyhawk, USS Cowpens, USS BlueRidge and a few others.

[scrivener]

Five more days 'til summer vacation!

[Leimamo]

Another song I recently remember was Cheryl Moana Marie. I can't remember who sang that one. Anybody know?
His name was John Rowles, I think he's from New Zealand.

[Mocha]

Now I know where in Japan you are...I asked where on another thread. My son will not be in the Tokyo-Osaka area this time! How long are you and the family at Yokosuka?

[mel]

I'm sitting here typing a reply to this thread.

Another song I recently remember was Cheryl Moana Marie.
Oh, gee thanks...
Now it's stuck in MY head... :p

At the risk of aging myself, this was the song we danced to for May Day in the 5th grade...

"Eres Tu" and "Dominica" are two songs that are forever lodged in my mental wav. files.
And these surface, well, all too often...
Just realized that they're both latino...hmmm, wassup wit dat? :o

[aleno]

Much mahalo Leimamo. That's the guy....LOL John rowles.
You know what??????? I stay begining to think pidgin....hahahaha. Boy, now the memory coming back to me. I must thank this bord for giving me part of my heritage back. I can't wait to talk to my son to let him know how fo talk pidgin. I usually correct myself when eva the pidgin would surface but now, I think I can let loose.

Like they say around hea.....my life wasn't peaches and cream but I still do have fond memories of my childhood. Like the song goes.....these are the days of my youth....LOL

[Leimamo]

Now I know where in Japan you are...I asked where on another thread. My son will not be in the Tokyo-Osaka area this time! How long are you and the family at Yokosuka?

Oi vey, sorry Mocha. I didn't seen your question at the other thread about where in Japan I live. We've been here for almost 3 years and have another year until we head back home. What area will he be at?

;)

[Leimamo]

Oh, gee thanks...

Indeed, hopefully there iis no limit to the number of responses one can have in a thread.

If there is a limit well let's hope is a high one.

This may be the greatest thread in the history of message boards.Welcome to what is known in forum circles as a "padding thread." Pointless, fun, and a way to boost your post count to inflate your board cred. Admittedly, Kukui_Nut started this with a pretty open theme, so anything goes.

I imagine future "random" threads will be stuff like, "What did you have for lunch today?" or "What's the first line on the fifth page in the nearest book or document to you right now?"

[mel]

Oh, gee thanks...

"Eres Tu" and "Dominica" are two songs that are forever lodged in my mental wav. files.

[/size] :o


"Eres Tu" was a hit for Mocedades in 1974.
"Dominque" was a hit for The Singing Nun in 1963.

Here are more songs to stick in your mental wav file....

"Winchester Cathedral" by The New Vaudville Band - 1966
"Me Japanese Boy (I Love You)" by Liz Damon & the Orient Express - 1973
"The Lord's Prayer" by Sister Janet Mead - 1974

OK... so much for song trivia.....

BTW, I have yet to locate a copy of "Cheryl Moana Marie" by John Rowles on CD.

[helen]

Visions of The Ed Sullivan Show just flashed through my mind.


"Me Japanese Boy (I Love You)" by Liz Damon & the Orient Express - 1973

I don't know about John Rowles but the Tower Records on Kapiolani Blvd. sells the Liz Damon CD with 1900 Yesteryear (or was that 1900 Yesterday) on it.

[malia]

oooooo...we can? :p

[Mocha]

Leimano: My son will be taking a tour group to the Hokkaido area, they go to Sapporo and areas around there. They usually spend a day in Tokyo but not this time. My son taught English in Japan about eight years ago, he stayed in the Tokyo area (Setagaya-ku) but traveled all the Tokyo area. Boy is it HOT during the summer! :)

[Albert]

"I'm typing this from a computer terminal in Hamilton Library. On my way here, I tried to get two kitties to come say hi."

Good luck trying to get that adorable new one by the post office to say hi.

I'm been feeding the mama since she was that size, and then her two children. Barbara the Cat Lady managed to catch mama and the two kids, took them off to the vet for that unmentionable operation and returned them. Alas, she didn't get mama until a second batch was produced.

Well, not sure about "batch", have only thus far gotten a peek at one. And what a total sweetheart that one is.

John Rowles
Voice of a Legend The Millennium Collection - Volume 2

1. My Special Corner Of The World (new single)
2. This Is The Moment
3. Con Te Partiro (Time To Say Goodbye)
4. Cheryl Moana Marie


I found this album on John Rowles web site. The guy still selling albums.

[aleno]

Howzit,
It just hailed pea size ice. Wow, couldn't finish pulling the weeds. But no matter, at least I can read more post and spend time surfing...LOL.

Not much else is going on here but I thought I'd post.

[Leimamo]

Boy is it HOT during the summer! :)
That's putting it mildly - When we first got here (in the month of August), I wondered why my husband carried along a face towel. The next day, when we ventured out during the day, I understood why EVERYONE carried along a face towel. It's so humid here, almost unbearable. What gets me is that most Japanese businessmen/business women will still wear BLACK. I know they must be dying under their clothes.

As for the price of Gas here, since I really don't have a choice of where to purchase mine, (I get mine from the base gas station) I think it's close to $2.00. I'll double check to confirm.

[mel]

The Liz Damon album available on CD is the 1970 White Whale release that contains her Top 40 hit "1900 Yesterday." The "Me Japanese Boy" album came out in 1973 on Delilah Records and is currently unavailable.

As for John Rowles, I have seen CDs listed with "Cheryl Moana Marie" but I am not sure if it is the original track recorded in 1969-70 for Kapp/MCA records. I am sure Rowles has recorded the song a few more times on live albums and later mixes, but nothing would beat the original (Hawaii) hit version on Kapp/MCA Records.

I agree with you. Maybe one of the old radio stations might have an original copy. maybe KCCN or the other old time stations.

Had a great weekend as well. A big garage sale with our neighbors in Mililani (not the really big one, though), a trip to Bishop Museum, lots of running around with the kids, and then a most moving lantern ceremony at Magic Island last night.

Beautiful pics PZ.

My weekend was spent with friends and being a veteran, went yesterday to the Park to celebrate with other veterans. I think I posted yesterday but not sure cause I got a little tipsy....LOL.

My daughter wants to get her driver's license today. I'm small kine scared for the guy riding with her during her test.

:p

[helen]

Saw a play and three movies over the weekend.

[aleno]

It's been hot here in N.CA. My gardens are drying out so I been real busy with the watering. The flies and wasp are congregating in my fruit orchards. Seems like they having a party out there.
This evening a skunk came near the house....I smelt it's presence but didn't see him.
I woke up just a little while ago to get a drink and now I can't go back to sleep. Anyone wants to sing to me so I can go back to sleep....LOL.

[slickvic]

Today marks the 2nd year we have been married.

Also...

My 2 year old rocked my world today.
We were at Pearlidge. He was getting into stuff he shouldnt have been.

I did the "count backwards from 5" thing to get him to come to me.

5 ...4...3...2...1

He walks over to me and says "blast off"

Leimamo: The gas must be higher than $2 in Japan...it's over that here in HI. At Costco we got it for $2.06 for regular...but the gas prices change almost daily! And it doesn't look like it'll go anywhere but UP! :(

[DaFerret]

Saw an Audi TT Coupe as I pulled up here at work this morning. Oh Emm Gee! It still has paper plates. Beautiful I tell you... beautiful.

Oh yeah, hi people. I'm new here. :)

[Linkmeister]

We're at Yokosuka. ;)

I remember that place! I spent two years there! 'Course, it was so long ago many of the readers here weren't born yet, but...(1972-1974). :)

[Leimamo]

Ooh I was born then, entering high school, in fact. I'm not sure how much it has changed since you left but I doubt it changed too much.

[aleno]

Welcome Daferret.
Went food shopping today. I hate shopping. The stores were packed with people. I hate pushing the cart around and being bumped from behind when I stop to pick something I need.
I know it's gotta be done but I still hate it.

[Mocha]

Well we all gotta eat! I sometimes wonder what if we could break it down to only one meal a day...ditto going to the john...once a day! You guys all have nice pictures on your posts...don't know what happened to mine! I'll have to go back to the thread that mentioned pictures. :o

[kukui_nut]

But tell us how you really feel about shopping, aleno. :p


My son graduating tonight...
Ho da old I feel... (Nah, I actually had him when I was 7)
I literally going be up all night 'cuz I'm helping w/the Project Grad thingy... :)

Hope you got the coffee pot nearby, you might need it tonight. Congrats to your son!

Oh yeah, hi people. I'm new here. :) Aloha and welcome, DaFerret. Right about now, any car with the steering wheel on the left would be beautiful to me. I'm tired of driving on the wrong side of the car and road. heh

[YoungNeil]

Bring on the weekend!

[aleno]

Hahahaha,
Okay hate might be a little strong so I'll change it to dispise shopping...LOL

Schools out here, the neighborhood kids are screaming and playing.

I got me a chicken now. It woke me up with his crowing. I chased him out of the yard but while I was busy he came back. He doesn't seem to want to leave. He's roosting in my mulberry tree. If my grandfather was here that chicken would be adobo.
