Tried a group study room for the first time with a friend. University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa #library #study Lots of light, angles and shapes.
A table with a hydroflask, mouse and mousepad in a room by a window with sunlight creating a triangle of light. Many reflections and rectangles in the pattern of the external building are also seen.

I watched #SquidGame season 3 in its first 3 days of release. On Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is 50%. But I liked it. Well acted and written. This is just my opinion. I like that some aspects are left open-ended and we can form our own opinions. #tv Thumbs up! 👍

I’m enjoying this vacation a ton. In large part because the area is beautiful, but it’s nice to be away from work and school. Also, amazing tacos, gelato, ice cream bars, and empanadas. #SanDiego #tacos

I’m on vacation in beautiful #LaJolla #SanDiego …
Ocean side pathway lined with flowers and a white fence. Coffee Legacy from Colombia shop. A pier with lots of haze stretches into the sea and the beach is in the foreground. Cormorant birds on the bluffs above the sea.

I love old school diners…not as common as I’d like anymore on Oʻahu. Tried Kam Bowl Restaurant for the first time. Highly recommend if you like local kine grindz and those pre-big box and pre-Internet vibes.
A painting shows a goddess emerging from an erupting volcano holding what appears to be both the moon and a bowling ball that says “Kam Bowl” A clubhouse sandwich and fries served on a simple white plate.

What’s up?
A red plastic tumbler with ice next to a custom Coca Cola can that says “Homie.”

Been having knee issues. I have a torn meniscus, and just started physical therapy today.

I think my #orchid plant is a year old now. This is the second time since purchasing it, I’ve seen a new stalk of blooms 💜
Two purple and white orchid blooms on a stalk with multiple buds remaining in a small decorated pot.

3D printer in the makerspace today. I forgot to take photos of the AR and VR items in the room I helped in. I hosted a tilt five AR table.

I read the email response someone received from him on reddit, and I can see why he did it. At least, it sounds like he tried to choose what he felt was the lesser of 2 evils for Hawaii, so I at least understand why he did it and it makes sense e.g. losing the courts during furlough.
Emailed response someone on Reddit posted from Schatz explaining why he voted for the CR.

From this morning’s walk
A Japanese castle style architecture for a white building with Christian cross/church symbolism as well. The sky is still dark and only the porch and door are illuminated.

#KuruKuruSushi in Pearl Kai closed last month. I have some good memories from that place, and I’m sorry to see it go.
Kuru Kuri Sushi storefront under a blue sky with coulds. Sign with timeline of events for the owner of the restaurant. A notice stating their last day would be sometime in February 2025.

#ResidentAlien on Netflix is so good (if you like comedy or sci-fi). Do yourself a favor and watch it if you haven’t.

#HappyNewYear! Gong hei fat choi!
Small shrine with white papers where wishes are written and hung. People are hanging or reading wishes. A lion is going up the escalator with drummers in tow, to a large crowd of spectators. Many spectators around the Ala Moana Center stage, waiting for the action.

Some video from the #LionDance at Ala Moana Shopping Center today. Haven’t been close to a lion dance in a long time! I read 20 lions roamed the mall and blessed the shops in total today.

Dinner was #pizza, despite my resolution to eat healthier in 2025. Kind of disappointed I lasted only 16 days. 😆
Pizza with cheese, jalapeños, bell peppers, and canadian bacon. One piece is missing on a silver tray.

New Year’s vibes as seen in the flowers at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Took off work on Friday to spend time with a friend from high school before the new semester begins.
Purple water lily in a pond. Ikebana floral arrangement in a large brown vase, featuring red and green anthuriums, cypress leaves and a Japanese New Year’s message and a bamboo shoot. White stucco building with a statue and person walking by. Bougainvillea creep up along the right side with many bright red blooms. Small modern vase holding a white and purple chrysanthemum, and some pine, on a table.

It is still 2024 in Honolulu. Last sunrise of 2024 from this morning along the Ala Wai Canal. #goldenHour #NewyearsEve
Sunrise all golden sky, reflected in the still waters of the canal through black tree silhouettes that line the canal. A canoe alongside the canal with the sun rising and clouds alight with a golden hue.

I really enjoyed #SquidGameSeason2 on Netflix. It’s not a rehash of S1, and there were some really interesting characters and intense situations.
9 portraits in a 3x3 grid, where everyone has a pink background, green and white tracksuit jacket, and a number.
