Doing the Aiea Trail

HAD some friends over from the mainland and among the things they wanted to do was do the 4.8 mile hike through the Aiea Loop, where we got ourselves sweaty and muddy through the wilderness, LOL!

An ever-changing hike which went from dry and dusty to hot and muggy to damp and sticky to swampy and boggy! OI, what an adventure! Was  a nice break from my USUAL walking places, and had some wonderfully rewarding views as well!

Who knows, I may even attempt it again some day...if I ever work up the energy!!!!

So THIS Is What The Fuss Was All About...

Was cruising Ala Moana Shopping Center and passing by the American Eagle Outfitters, saw that now infamous Sydney Sweeney promotion that has some in an uproar...

Lucky we live Hawaii where no one seemed to pay it any mind one way or another....

Another Mililani Sunset Walk

Been awhile since I did an afternoon walk in Mililani, so I loaded the Nishida Hikaru into the ipod and did a nice, leisurely stroll through the neighborhood for dinner!

Afterwards I did some shopping at Walmart and by the time I got out, the clouds had rolled in as the sun shone its last light before dusk!

And that wraps another fine evening Mililani walk!

Dropping in on Mitsuwa

 
Dropped by Mitsuwa Markerplace in the International Marketplace after a long while, and was pleased to see another ramen vendor taking the place of my old favorite Hokkaido Ramen Santouka which closed in the wake of COVID years back! The new ramen place was called "Ramen Taiga" and while not the same taste as Santouka, was pretty yummy and I enjoyed it!

Shoyu Ramena nd Gyoza Combo

As I ate in the food court area, I noticed they installed a huge Gashapon section against the wall, surely a boon for those into those collectibles as Shirokiya Village Walk had to shut down, though the tourist kids I saw there were confused with the token system and just kept mindlessly cranking the machines for prizes, to no avail!

 Yep, so much has changed or been re-arranged, but it was nice to see that the CANMKAE Display area is still up and thriving, and still featuring their cute spokesperson Fuka Koshiba as the pretty campaign face!

As some might recall, I was thrilled when I first discovered the little Fuka Koshiba set-up and had to post about it- it was like seeing a friend at the mall!

SPEAKING of Fuka Koshiba, we are at episode 6 of her thrilling drama Watashi no Otto to Kekkon Shite- MARRY MY HUSBAND, and HOLY HELL, is it AWESOME!!! 

Just can't WAIT for the next few episodes- thank GOSH ALMIGHTY that Amazon Prime is doing the unusual tactic of  releasing TWO episodes per week- we are all in a feeding FRENZY with this show!!!

Cloudy Day at Aloha Tower Markerplace

We went down to Aloha Tower Marketplace on a very rainy and overcast weekend, and with the dark clouds and lack of people, somehow felt like we were entering the endtimes! Had the same vibes as when we first began COVID lockdown those years ago, only this time it was only the weather that kept folks away...

Normally festival Hula Girl statue looking rather forlorn as it poses for no one except me and my friends, who dined that afternoon in an equally empty Spaghetti Factory for lunch!

Despite its dreary outlook, rather enjoyed the melancholy vibe of the day!

Yes, We Have No Lemons Today

 Hey!~ If you need to get your daily supply of lemons, there’s no better place than  to go to Lemon Supply at Ward Village, right?

 *Reads Note*

 Hmmm, maybe not!

Better Luck tomorrow, I guess!
