I was planning on bringing some Liliha Bakery Coco Puffs over to Kauai. I was thinking 2 dozen for a client. Someone at my work mentioned that I might not be able to get it through airport security due to the cream? Flying Hawaiian airlines. Any advice?

Thanks ahead of time!

I just finished my interview for the Educational Assistant (EA) position with the Hawaii Department of Education (Hawaii DOE). During the interview, they mentioned the benefits and said they would be in contact with me by the end of the week. I also noticed that the principal and administrative staff weren’t taking any notes during my interview. I’m wondering if these are good signs that I might receive a job offer. Also, how does the Hawaii DOE hiring process work after an interview, and how will I know if I’ve been selected?

Anyone know who’s in charge of the @eoaupuni Instagram account? I always see their posts especially more recently with the elections coming up. Bio says government organization but is it an official account? Can I trust the info?

Sit down or take out. Not just adobo or lechon kawali.

Bonus points for good pinakbet. Having vegetable sides is also good.

I only go through so much in one sitting and don’t want it to go to waste.

Aloha.

I’m heartbroken to hear, that Uncle Lyndon Okata has unexpectedly passed away. He was the 1 man show, that ran the literal hole in the wall named Okata Bento on Waialae Ave since 1981. He made everything with love and care and made my favorite chicken katsu ever. He will be missed and the community won’t be the same without him. Sending my heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones.

It is great that the University of Hawaiʻi is minimizing barriers for students to attend a University of Hawaiʻi campus with the overall goal of entering the workforce. How would you all communicate with youth today who wants to attend any of the UH campuses about the job market and the cost of living in Hawaiʻi?

Anyone work for UH Manoa? If so, do you all check references on all candidates for management positions or just the final candidates?

I saw the news and connected my accounts just now. A lot of people saw this coming from a mile away based on how they are being more active in competing against Costco and Target lately. It's surprising they dropped the news without much of an announcement, but this definitely gives them an edge over its competitors and may possibly be a worthy alternative to Amazon Prime since it comes with Paramount+ or Peacock (you get to choose between the two).

To see if they ship to Hawaii, I just placed an order for a sofa from the Walmart website and it went through without charging me for shipping. We'll see how it goes.

I have an interview tomorrow at 4 PM for an Educational Assistant (EA) position with the Hawaii DOE. I was wondering if you happen to know what types of questions they typically ask or what administrators usually look for in candidates.

My background is mainly in customer service, banking, training employees, and working in team-oriented environments. I also have an Associate Degree in Administration of Justice. I feel like I have transferable skills such as patience, communication, teamwork, adaptability, confidentiality, and problem-solving, but I don’t have direct experience working in a school setting.

I’m especially curious about how I can best relate my previous work experience and skills to the EA position during the interview. Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

I was quoted a cleaning for my 6 y/o dog a price range of $1500-$4300 depending on possible extractions. Does anyone have more affordable options on Oahu?
Many thanks!!

Hee everyone,

I am a teacher, a musician and ethnomusicologist from the Netherlands. At the end of October I will start teaching a new workshop series on folk music/traditional music and dances from the six continents for primary school children age 8-10. To open their ears and hearts to the beautiful variety of music and people that exist around the world. In this workshop series I’d like to teach them one song/dance per workshop trying to at least cover four continents. So we can perform the songs/dances in a little concert at the end of the series.

For the continents of Oceania I’d like to show and teach (a very simple) version of Hula. Which I understand has a long history with many cultural aspects that I have a limited knowledge of. But I will try to present it with respect to the people and culture it belongs to.

On YouTube I found a great explanation video for children which I would like to use as a basis how I would like to teach the dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQOvJsE1Ddg&t=7s Now my question to you is: do you think it would be okay to teach this simple version of hula. If so is there a song, preferably more traditional, that the particular dance moves in the video fit to?

Thank you for thinking along with me and I hope you have a lovely day.

I live unfortunately close to the H1 in Pearl City/Aiea area close enough to the Kaahumanu St overpass. I suspect someone is shooting while driving. I just heard (12:21PM) multiple gunshot sounding noises coming from the Freeway area. This is the 2nd or 3rd time in the last two weeks. It's too quiet and to close together to be those fireworks bombs. Anyone else hearing similar nearby?

New to the island, will I have a problem booking from salt lake area to waipio?

Early morning, lunch, and rush hour back to salt lake

Should I book a taxi instead? Any reccs?

My family recently moved from Mililani to Aiea. We kept my son at his current school in Mililani (still have access to the address since it’s my parents home) and are planning to transfer him to a different school next year. Does anyone know how to go about the transferring process? What documentation is required and how to let previous school know about the transfer? Thanks in advance!

I recently purchased a car from FB Marketplace on 09/12 and mailed the necessary documents to the address listed on honolulu.gov on 09/14. It’s currently 10/19 and I haven’t received my documents back. Due to being time-constrained, mail was my best option, and I understand that it may take a while. I was wondering if anyone may have recent insight on the turnaround time via mail? Mahalo!

I’m on O’ahu for reference.

Hi I’m looking for a real cowboy hat for a Halloween costume on Oahu. Anyone know any decent shops or thrift stores that sell cowboy hats? No cheap spirit Halloween ones please. Mahalo

Hello, I am thinking of starting or investing a business in the Philippines as a us citizen.

Does anyone know a solid lawer in Honolulu that handles those kind of situations? Thanks
