Hawaii
University of Hawaii Maui College
Maui Community College exists no longer, it has now become the University of Hawaii Maui College: an official four-year university.
First Time I Saw a Turtle
It was tangled in my great-grandfather’s drift net off the southern coast of Molokai. It had died in the net, most likely drowned during the night. I remember crying because the turtle was dead, and my great-grandfather consoling me that they were not going to waste it.
Should You Work For Wal-Mart?
In 1962, Sam Walton and his brother J.L Walton opened the first Wal-Mart store in Rogers, Arkansas, and since then, the company has expanded to become the largest retailer in the United States of America. With being the largest retailer in the USA, Wal-Mart also has become the largest non-governmental employer. In 2004, Wal-Mart employed [...]
Visit to the Optometrist
Its friday today, and I finally went to the optometrist to get a replacement set of contact lenses. I haven’t had a new pair of lenses since last December, and even those pair were barely clean enough for me to avoid conjunctivitis. While the doctor shined lights in to my eyes and asked me whether [...]
Hawaiians in Film
Films have been made in Hawaii since 1913. The most famous of these films—Hawaii starring Julie Andrews, Blue Hawaii starring Elvis Presley, and the recent 50-First Dates starring Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler—are the only way Hawaii is brought in to the homes of many people around the world. The overall benefit of these films [...]
More More Costco.
My mother and I went to the Kahului Costco today. Parking as usual was horrendous. On Maui, Costco is at the corner of the busiest intersection: the road to the Airport and the road to the other 1/2 of the island. There’s much to be said about Costco and it’s patrons. Just watch the way [...]
Online Education
There just one more week until the Fall Semester begins. This is the first time when all of my classes will be online. I’ve done a few online classes before, but only one or two at a time. I now have five online classes. It’s a big step from having to attend classes and limiting [...]
Clearw*re impeeds my way of life
Im really frustrated right now. I tell my self that I need to be productive; I need to be focused. The first thing I think of when I want to get focused is that I need to turn off the computer. When the computer is off, I start to feel enthusiastic about making a stand [...]
The First of the Month: August
It’s another month, the month of August. It was named for some Roman king I think. How regal. There is not much to celebrate in this month except the return to school and the protesting of Hawaiian Opression. August is where the Hawaiians were told that returning to the bitch slaves of American Colonialists was [...]
Turkey Neck Soup
Vickie im’ed me on Yahoo tonight. She was feeling the heat like I was. I had shut my self in my bedroom, cranked on the air conditioner, but Vickie had to deal with the sweatiness of the summer. I mentioned that I didn’t want to leave my room because I feared the heat. We decided [...]
