Do you dare be one kid again? I wuzn’t sure at first why I wuz drawn to this Mokuru ting until I saw their video.
It wuz inspired by kids who used to twirl pencils between their fingers, one trick I could nevah do when I wuz growing up. Twirling is one of da Mokuru tricks you can do, but get various balancing stunts too.
It’s called one “desktop toy,” so I think that means it’s more for adults, yeah. Lol. Razor Sports at Pearlridge Uptown get for $7.95 for the plastic version, $9.95 for wood and $12.95 for metal.
Do you dare wear … da sacred? Whenevah I go No‘eau Designers at Ka Makana Ali‘i mall in Kapolei, I always see uku-planny people in da store admiring this striking image of da Hawaiian goddess Pele on top this super-sleek polyester hoodie by Strong Arm Hawaiians.
While lotta people may admire ‘em, da only people I myself seen wearing ‘em is couple few big braddahs and some kumu hula. Cuz you gotta think, you might wanna wear Pele, but would Pele want you to wear her?
Sizes range from small to 8XL, with prices starting at $99, strongarmunlimited.bigcartel.com.
Do you dare love thyself? In Hawaii if you think too highly of yourself den that makes you kinda tantaran. Today’s whole selfie culture and people making YouTube videos starring, uh, themselves kinda goes counter to our local belief system.
So it’s kinda ironicals den that one of da earliest YouTube pioneers wuz local-boy comedian Ryan Higa from Hilo. But Higa’s “How to Write Good” (Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, $19.99) — part prose, part graphic novel autobiography — is more than just one YouTube tutorial.
It’s one inspirational tale das going show how anyone can overcome obstacles for achieve their dreams. Find ‘em at Barnes & Noble and oddah booksellers.
Do you dare love kitsch? This ting wen crack me up. Lotta times locals make fun of cheesy touristy goods. But I think this one stay pretty clever. Cuz locals already use their rubbah slippahs for swat bugs. So why not put one stick on it and make one literal rubbah slippah fly swattah?
Dey might need for make one bigger one for da kakaroaches, but. It’s $4.99 at Target.
Do you dare break tradition? For da most part when we talking about da typical local-style plate lunch, da main star is always da meat. To their credit, many places have been trying for offer healthier options. Like offering tossed greens instead of mac salad. But I tink da future stay coming where we can have plate lunches with nomono meat.
Say whaaaat?
Home cooks, try use Beyond Meat’s Beyond Burger for your loco moco. For da record, I like meat and I hate peas. So it’s kinda funny that these super ono veggie patties stay made from pea isolate. Da ting even get beet juice for make ‘em bleed like beef.
For those who like save one cow, peas make da switch. A pack of two patties is $6.99 at Safeway.
