Promoting Hawaii, specifically Oahu, with my random acts of fun.

5/10/2013

The girls from where I work wanted to hang out one last time before they leave for post college....real life. My main girl Bangu will be heading off to New York to rejoin her family. Although she is from Botswana, he dad is some ambassador blah. The next to leave is Alyssa, she will be heading off to....Disney World? Okay she'll be back, and then there's Christine who will remain with me til the end of our own education at HPU.

The real reason was let's go get pedicures. I'm thinking that's expensive, but its a special case right? But plans change, people change....., and yeah we ended up going to Ala Moana to meet up. Basically a mall.

Ala Moana Shopping Center

We were too lazy to hit up the original plan at McCully Shopping Center. But we should have because the prices at Ala Moana were pricey. It's a tourist spot, what you expect right? So we just walked around and ended up at Shirokiya and I wanted a bubble drink. Mango bubble drink. AMG googling it makes me want one now so you can look it up yourself: Mango bubble drink.

Anyway we wanted to eat dinner at Shokudo, a japanese restaurant. Where the honey toast is highly recommended by who? ME!

But I forgot to call ahead and reserve. The wait turned out to be an hour and a half. We gave up and chilled elsewhere. A bookstore actually where we looked at 50 shades of grey related books lol.

BUT prior to this Bangu lead us the wrong direction. Actually, she wanted to head off to Suzie's....>Adult......Super store. Not gonna give you a link to that content. But we are all so comfortable with each other that we took a stroll and laughed at the things..... Like that arcade room...ew. "Don't touch anything" XD And wouldn't it be awkard seeing a professor here XD But yeah amazingly I common sense about the works of the items came easily to me. Some not really, but Bangu knew lol. I was like whhaaat, no way, ORLY.

Yeah we got a friend getting married too so we were looking for something that screamed Yasemin. Nothing much stood out. But there was some interesting things like a small $24 concoction that seemed to really sell that makes things feel 10x better? Okay.... And that chair.....Bangu stop it. yeah was fun.

Anyway back to the rest of the night we hit the club at Ala Moana called Pearl. Just cause it was close, mostly local people I would say and dress code in effect.

Want more on the drink specials, well it depends on you right? So we hit it up til like midnight and then parted. But Bangu was like what you doing tomorrow and yeah my UH Manoa classmates were graduating in the morning so I had to get back to her because she wanted to go Kailua Beach Park.

So stay tuned for more hurrahs with Bangu before she leaves on Monday. This was FRIDAY btw. peace
