^ right on's meng. glad you found this boring place fun! nah! good deals.

DRAGMODE, lmk if you want to do the luau stuff. i can get discount there as well!

 

Hanauma <--corrected spelling) bay. Nice place huh, what day did you go? If you saw a DP Gcoupe w/black rims I was working that day. Hope you enjoyed your trip and did not step on the reef or feed the fishes

 

Yeah I went the 1st week in January. I didn't check out the parking lot too much. I think I went either on Jan 3 or Jan 4. But I do know that the day I went, some old asian guy drowned. And the paramedics came and everything...that was kind of freaky! Me and my chick just sat their for like 10 mins debating if we should go in. But we did unend up going in. So you work there? What do you do there? But I did see some G's here and there....and nothing but those dang ABC stores! LOL! I was counting how many I saw....and I seriously saw like 8 in less than 5 mins. I thought starbucks was taking over! hahahha

 

Just got back from Oahu so i thought i'd update my thread, thanks to all that gave advice and suggestions...visited my sister and her husband who live in pearl city. I also got engaged! took the plunge and proposed on the beach at waikiki at night... went pretty smooth. We are already planning another trip back, because we didn't get to do all that we had planned due to the crappy @ss weather? (gloomy and raining pretty much every day...)

I think I gained 10lbs. from all the food we ate when we were over there... hahaha.. we ate at pretty nice places for dinner, but for lunches it was all zippy's, L&L, ted's burgers, shave ice w/ ice cream, freakin spam misubi, poke and rice, but dam i could go for some garlic shrimp from the shrimp truck (giovanni's)... some place called Side Street Inn near ala moana was freakin tastey too, hehe. Had to cook some spam and rice w/ furikake sprinkled on it yesterday cuz i miss it already, haha..

but yeah, maui or kauai are next on the list. We did the typical tourist things, but also got to see alot of the local side w/ my sis and my girlfriend's cousins.... I don't see how you guys can have anything lowered or rock nice wheels, cuz the potholes suck! hahah and parking is super tight. Here in florida, i park super far in the back away from anyone for fear of dings and shet....but on the islands, everything seems tight. No offense to anyone non-asian, but it was a nice feeling looking around and feeling at home, haha...Cuz everyone was brown! over here i'm surrounded by rednecks, hahaha! There sure was a lot of japanese tourists too, hehe... all in all, except for the weather, oahu was awesome and the beaches were gorgeous. I can't wait go go back... Thought i'd throw some pics in to finish my story

 

 

Got an LED box so I could propose at night, bling!

Tons of great pics... is that a 1.x carat Princess cut? haha... i'm in the same boat bought the ring instead of mods lol..

hahah but make the shrimp yourself man if your craving em! $12 for 8-10 pieces sucks!

 

Yeah, the rock is barely over 1.0 ct.... it's like 1.03 or some crap, hahah... and some lil flush mounted baquettes.... the ring is solid platinum. It was like, hmmmm... twin turbo kit or a ring? hahah damit.. it's all good, she's worth it.
