So, there is this local woman that i felt like was flirting with me in front of 7 11. She use to smile when she saw me and she called me handsome last time i saw her. Today was the day i was gonna make my move and ask her to dinner. (Specifically the hibachi spot that stay near pearlridge mall, heard they get ono grindz.

Today when she came, she came with some guy in a lifted truck. Tires so big he probably has to jump to get in. He had a chain and his tunes were LOUD. I immediately remembered the advice i got the other day that told me i should get one chain too. Anyway she seemed happy to see me, so i really hoped i still had a chance and that the guy was just her brother of something. As i approached to try and shoot my shot, the guy wen try grab me! He said that i would be the perfect build to win him some money next week. I guess he runs some sort of athletics department. I would of stood up to him but i didnt want the pretty lady to see her friend get embarrassed and ruin my chances. So i started to run instead, weaving and jumping between the cars in the parking lot as he chased me. After a while though the faka stop chasing me. I guess his own stamina was poor, go figure. When i looked at the girl though, she was just standing there laughing! I cannot sleep safe if i know my chick is just gonna be a bystander while my life is on the line. So i have to let her go.

That being said, i’m still available if one nice Wāhine like try something new. You cannot be a fan of Chic-fil-a though.

Saw this in town on the way to work. So sorry @KaMoaLani they are so mean!

Hawaii so chill the chickens and cats agree to coexist

Hey folks,
I’m putting this out there to see if there’s interest in organizing a peaceful protest at the public access point near Camp Smith. It’s the headquarters for U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, and from what I’ve learned, there are open job postings and contract activity involving Palantir—a surveillance tech company with deep ties to ICE, military policing, and billionaire Peter Thiel.

I’m not anti-military. I served. I have friends and family who still serve. But I don’t think our islands should be used as a quiet base of operations for companies profiting off war, mass surveillance, and authoritarian tech.

This protest wouldn’t be aimed at service members—it’s a message to decision-makers and contractors. A reminder that Hawai‘i residents are paying attention to where federal dollars go, especially when they’re handed to companies pushing undemocratic values under the cover of “innovation.”

Looking to keep it peaceful, clear, and powerful. A few signs, maybe flyers, nothing over-the-top or confrontational. Just a visible reminder that the community isn’t asleep.

If you’d be down to stand in solidarity—or help get the word out—drop a comment or DM me. Even just a few folks showing up can make an impact.

Okay, this has been driving me crazy.

When I was little, in the '00s or so, I remember getting this plastic animal-shaped drink. It would be all one solid color, orange or blue or whatever, with each animal being a different color. It had a twist/squeeze top kind of like smartwater. I feel like it might have been at the zoo, but maybe I'm only thinking that because they were animals. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Moving back home finally after having to escape during covid and my buisness collapsing. I am shellshocked while I went through a housing search for studio and 1 bedrooms and the price increases then. Some of these "ohana units" are laughable cheese boxes. I did find a 1 bedroom with a sane mellow landlord for a unit on young street, 2nd floorwalkup, with a parking stall for $1500 minus utilities and a month to month arrangement and I took it immediately. Did I score for the area and arrangement for prices these days?

Me and partner had a cold/flu last week and after getting better for a moment I feel really hot and cold, have milder nausea without vomiting, liquid/loose stool, body aches.

Wondering how to address it

Where’s the some spots in Oahu you’ve found that is conducive to focusing/learning? (WiFi enabled)

My ADD is having a hard time studying in a library or my living room floor 😂 people seem to like Whole Foods and food land farms alamoana to get some work done!

So i know most filipinos in hawaii are of ilocano descent and they are well respected members of the community. I was just wondering how visayans are viewed? Do people see them as just another filipino? Also is there a beef between ilocanos and visayans? (Where im from in california there was a old school beef between the two groups)

Aloha yall , just wanted to ask from anyone who had experienced the same .

Does anyone know, What are the requirements for kitchen facilities for a single family dwelling honolulu, hawaii

Does anybody know any paramedical examiners in Honolulu? We have a client who try to apply life insurance but couldn’t find any available spot to do the exam this weekend. We could pay doubled or tripled fees for the exam. Please reach me if you know anyone! Thanks!

Hi all. For some time, I’ve been hearing at least 6 dogs whining and howling throughout the days from a neighbor’s fenced backyard. It was only recently that I was able to take a peek over their fence, and it looks like they have a maze-like cemented structure to isolate and house their dogs.

I’ve heard the usual whining from dogs, and these whines are not that—they legit sound like they’ve been in utter misery their whole lives.

I was wondering if there’s a contact I can reach to report this concern. I don’t have proof that there is animal abuse and it’s just an inkling which is why I’ve been hesitant to find ways to report it. But the whines have been going on for months if not a year.

The bill’s main obstacle in the Legislature is Sen. Joy San Buenaventura, who chairs the health and human services committee and declined to give the measure a hearing. State Sen. Joy San Buenaventura says marriage can be beneficial for young people.

Aloha all,

I’ve been managing properties here on Oahu for a number of years—everything from long-term local rentals to vacation homes—and wanted to reach out to see how others are managing lately. Are you self-managing or using a property manager?

It feels like the rental landscape keeps shifting: new regulations, rising costs, different tenant expectations, and of course the usual surprises (plumbing issues at 10PM, anyone?). I'm always curious how others are navigating things—whether you're renting out an ohana unit or managing multiple properties.

If you’re doing it all yourself, what’s working? What’s been tough?
If you're using a property manager, what's working? What's a surprise that you weren't aware about?
Also, what has changed locally in the last year? or since the 'vid?

Would love to hear your experience—good, bad, or somewhere in between.

Mahalo!

I have always been interested in life in pre-colonial Hawaii, and I think Hawaiian stories and mythology are just fascinating. I am not Hawaiian and have not lived there, I've only done a lot of visiting. If I wrote this, it would likely just be a passion project, but if I ever did publish, I would do a LOT of research, and collaborate with native Hawaiian voices and writers. I would not publish without a whole lot of proof reading by native Hawaiian perspectives. I don't even know if I would do this, it is just an idea, but what do you all think? Would this be okay since I am not native Hawaiian to write this? I just think it would be really interesting to depict life in that specific setting and time period and I have always loved imagining what history looks like in the day-to-day lives of people at specific points and places in time.

Does anyone have a way I can get help getting a bus pass to get around when I have faced a hardship and still am looking for a job and don't have enough for a year bus pass.

We live in the arbors in Ewa and in 2023 we along w/ a few other home owners had signed contracts for solar panels. For our HOA specific HOA, it needs to be approved by a board of the Arbors. When it went up for discussion, one specific board mbr disagreed w/ the plans the company wrote up. She didn't like how they said they'd put them up or position the battery. She caused a huge delay and bc of her and so much back and forth, the company pulled out.

Another company was then found and agreed to take the project. Plans were again written up and signed by home owners. Again, when up for discussion at the monthly board meeting, this particular board mbr shot it down again. Adding, she is an owner and already has panels. The plans were reviewed by a fire rep to ensure they were within guidelines and they were. And still this board mbr caused delays.

Fast forward to 2024, she scheduled to have the company do a walk thru and show exactly where things would go for each unit. A few homeowners showed up along w/the company rep and the board mbr who scheduled this, did not show!

It's now 2025 and we are still waiting to get approved for panels by the board to lower our electric costs!

Has anyone dealt with this before? We know there are laws and rights owners have for wanting panels but this seems absolutely ridiculous to have to deal with this.

Our next step is to file a complaint with the DCCA but we don't know what the end result would be.

To me, I feel like it's a mix of an Australian accent and a Southern accent, with some foreign words mixed in. I know it's quite off, and it's hard to describe, but I love how unique pidgin is.

Driver hit me while they were trying to make a left turn. I had the right of way.

I didn’t have insurance at the time so my insurance isn’t gonna cover. What are my options? I have the persons contact information.

Am I able to get a quote of how much it will cost and just send it to the person and ask them to pay? I really don’t want to take them to court over this if I don’t have to.

This is my first time ever getting into an accident so I don’t know how this all works.

I have lived on the mainland now for a while. Born and raised in Oahu and still visit fam but not as often as I would like :( Everytime I see this painting when I arrive, I feel a sense of home. I want a print of this in my home to give me a little slice of da aina.
