Good grief...
Poochie aka Bin (as in Bin Laden)
My mom's maltese. He has such a creative name for a dog... Poochie. I decided to call him bintarded... A combination of bin laden and retarded. He is a good dog, but kind of dumb sometimes. Kind of like me I guess.

Chopsticks and Wine: Vino Las Vegas
My friend Duke over at Cades (law firm) invited me to the Honolulu Japanese Chamber of Commerce's annual event called Chopsticks and Wine. This year's theme was wine and Vegas I guess. Anyway, they had some great food from various restaurants and tons of wine! It was held in the Blaisdell Exhibition Center and the place was pretty packed.
Restaurants and food:
3660 on the Rise – Pan Seared Bubu Arare Crusted Salmon with Yuzu Butter and Kabayaki Sauce Drizzle
Beachhouse at the Moana – Diver Scallop Sandwich, Nalo Greens and a Citrus Butter Sauce
Bistro Catering – Braised Pork Cheeks on a Warm Orzo Salad with a Syrah Sauce
Gyotaku Japanese Restaurant – Ninja Chirashi (Spicy Tuna Tartare on a Tower of Seasoned Sushi Rice)
Hakone – Wafu Doria (Japanese-style Casserole)
Hank's Haute Dogs – Gourmet hot dogs
Hanohano Room – Kona Kampachi Crudo
Le Bistro – Braised Shortribs
Mariposa – Wild Boar Italian Sausage with Braised Red Cabbage, Parsnip, Potato Puree, and Apricot Mustard
Sam Choy's – Shrimp Cake Loco Moco with Shiitake Mushroom Sauce
Sammy's Restaurant – Roasted Pineapple Fried Rice with Grilled Blackened Shrimp
The Kitchen at Times Beretania – Roast Prime Rib of Beef and Kula Strawberries with Moscato D' Asti
The Poke Stop – Pulled Pork Melt with Tropical Island Slaw and Poke Sampler (Creamy Ahi, Ginger Scallion Shrimp, and Kapakahi Poke with Opihi)
Some photos of the food and the decor. They did a nice job fancying up the place. If you want to go next year, better get your tickets early cause they tend to sell out. It is about $100 per ticket. Reminds me that I better renew my chamber membership.

Visit with Princess in Cebu, Philippines
I had the opportunity to visit Princess, who is my sponsor child through an awesome organization called, Compassion. Here is a quick video I put together with some of the highlights of my visit with her. She lives in Cebu City on the island of Cebu in the Philippines. She enjoys singing, wants to be a nurse, and of course loves Jesus! There are so many kids out there that need your support too! Visit compassion.com for more information.
