* Spotted!

* Groove Hawaii Now Open!
This past Saturday 2/22, the much anticipated The Groove Hawaii officially opened its doors to the public. On Friday 2/21, as part of a social media event, I had the unique opportunity to preview their facilities during a soft launch opening. Was super fun, especially when you get a bunch of testosterone-filled men trying to get the better of each other on the Go-Kart race track (see pic below)! LOL! You can also play parlor games (arcades & billiards, darts, air-hockey, shuffleboard, etc.), climb a “rock” wall, take Segways tours, ride a Paradise Pedals Party Bike around town, or hold your next party or corporate event there. It’s the closest thing to Castle Park that we’ve had in a loonnnnnng time! Oh the memories. 😛 Hope they do well. Go and support them k? #SupportLocal

Some of you may’ve heard the news about the “acts of vandalism” on crosswalks in Hawaii Kai and Kapolei, where the “vandals” spelled out the word “ALOHA”. Oooooooh! (*sarcastic voice*) Well, you know I just couldn’t let it go with paying a little visit right? So I gathered up some friends (Heart and Soul‘s Jody Kamisato and Micah Ganiron, and Shibby Stylee‘s Andrew Agcaoili) and suggested we do the “Abbey Road” pose that the Beatles made famous in the 60s. Right down to the color of the clothes! You know, a nu skool, Aloha kine version of it right here in Hawaii. Below is the result (pc: Andrew Agcaoili). I hope you guys like it! 🙂
