Terence Ho since 1981(The Last Ronin)

Merry Belated Christmas and  Happy New Year folks. Hopefully I can get more reviews and hikes in soon. God bless folks and take care!

Credit goes to the original video composer. I am using this for non-profit purposes. Computron is coming and along with a few goodies though it may be some time I may be doing a review on it. Later folks.

Anyone following I will change the site of this blog to tdawgspersonalblog.blogspot.com.  very soon. I think it would fit in more nicely with my hobbies of who I am, what I like, and what I do. original: retroandmodernstuff.blogspot.com Thank you. See you soon.

First off, please don't rub it in, but yes, I got scammed by these folks. Yes, I was stupid and admit it. First off, I should had really consulted God on this matter, and I didn't and I have no one else to blame but me. But I am glad he helped me rectify the situation even if I lost quite a bit of money. The point of this post is to show and warn you to not do the same thing and to help save your hard earned money. Priority: Once you hear these people with  thick Indian accents calling you from Microsoft talking either about Viruses or errors ( this is what I got.) Hang up quick! Microsoft, through my experience never calls, and after this incident never will. These people are fakes. If you were duped, be-careful here. Let's say you already paid the money which is where I am getting at, then you just lucked out on the money. But you can still save your computer. These people will have access to your comp because you gave it to them. You can see them doing stuff o...

Play it safe folks! Just sharing but here's something my brother got me for Christmas. It's the Transformers: Fall of Cybertron Dinobots t-shirt. Pretty cool shirt. Thank God for this cool looking shirt. Once again folks. Stay out of trouble. Go with God dudes and dudettes. Laters and take care.

Southern Smokehouse Bacon burger If you walk into a Chilis and not knowing what to get, burger and fries is a good way to start.... the Southern Smokehouse Bacon burger that is. What more do you want to know, you got the two slices of bread, cheese, bacon, onion rings, and lettuce. Not to mention, BBQ sauce to top it off. The mouthwatering burger runs about $13 which is a fair value for a chilis establishment. The patty is not overcooked but just right. When in doubt in Chilis, go South for the burger. Want dessert? Go to Scoop Hawaii located in Kalihi. For $3.75, you can get a huge layer (scoop) of your chosen Ice dessert between your preferred cookie chips--I chose Chocolate chip; I am interested in the Red velvet selection though. You got Ice cream of different flavors such as Green tea, Strawberry cheesecake, and I don't recall the rest, but the selection Scoop has for both the Ice cream and cookies is adequate. The only drawback for Scoop in Kalihi is the par...

Whenever in doubt, or if you need a place to devour a tasty ramen meal, then go to Gomatei. There are two locations for you to choose from: Ala Moana or Ward warehouse; the latter being the original station of business. Without further delay, lets get started. Chicken Tan Tan Ramen So  I decided to pick up the Chicken Tantan ( pic above). The texture of the broth is very easy to the eyes and is very creamy and tasty. It also have a little spice to it as well. I didn't find the broth salty, but just right. The sliced chicken mixed with the broth is very appealing and delicious. The yellow noodles is fairly thick and tasty and goes just fine with the broth. The wakame is an welcome addition to the soupy dish. This bowl of goodies is roughly $10. Chicken Teriyaki The Chicken Teriyaki is $7 and is an appetizer to the Ramen haven. The chicken goes good with the sweet sauce, but is fairly bland without it. Though it looks good and tatse good, you can find better de...

Decided to pick this up since I seen a couple people eat here. I'm not a big fan of fish though for an odd reason i really like Maguro. To get my money's worth, I had to try the Sashimi Salad. I ended up taking out my order because there is no room to dine in. This place is literally a grab and go place. The place is a little old looking but still presentable. You could see lots of fresh Ahi and Poke through the display case and the workers there are very friendly.  Now for the the salad, lots of Maguro! Yummy! Didn't care much for the orange looking meat. Not sure what it is called-though I heard it is called Sake. Correct me if I am wrong. And of course, it came with romaine lettuce and diced cabbage. Result: For $14, you can't go wrong. I tend to eat my raw fish plain with no wasabi or shoryu. Because I am not much of a fish fan, I don't know if this is over-priced or not, but $14 I feel is worth it for seafood. The taste is good as far...

I had lunch with an old classmate on one Sunday morning/Noon. We settled for Little Village Noodle House located in Chinatown/Fort street Mall area.  It's been a few years since I've eaten in this place and I don't remember my experience much back then. Little Village offers almost the same types of selections you'll find in most Chinese cuisines. My selection was simple as I ended up ordering the Minute Chicken Noodles plus a Cold Milk tea.  So first the main dish (above pic), the chicken, chow mein and choy sum looks good, no doubt about it. The main problem is the sauce. It got saltier as I ate on. I'm not sure what type of sauce they use, but according to some reviewers online, it is shrimp based. The noodles were crispy and the chicken was tender. I was full halfway through and ended up packing it home and giving the rest to my sister. I think everything was cooked well but the dish would had been totally perfect had the sauce not gave me a 2nd opinio...

It was a Saturday night and I didn't feel like sleeping. I went with an friend to grab a midnight snack and settled upon D&B's. I was unsure what to order since I had been cooking and eating pasta for the entire week ( so no pasta). The waitress eventually made her way around and inquired about our order. I hastily ordered the Philly Cheese steak sandwich and fries combo. The wait for our food was roughly 10-15 minutes. But that was a wait well worth it. Maybe it's been a while since I had a cheese steak or I've been accustomed to eating Charley's steak subs that I thought this dish was only going to be mediocre at best. Result: The steak sandwich was well done. The beef steak was very tender and the toppings of mushrooms, bellpeppers, onions, and cheese made the food overall delicious. Normally, D&B's is a good place to just hang out and chill, but the Cheese steak sandwich is a must have! If you come in not knowing what to order, you can'...

Before I give my quick two cents,  I do notice all over the world wide web there is this hate for Will Smith due to nepotism. Will Smith seriously takes a back-seat in this film (also looking very bored) in favor of making his real-life flesh and blood, Jaden Smith, the protagonist. Jaden's character gets the job done, but Jaden Smith, as an actor, pulls the same expressions as he did in Karate Kid (another film blasted for nepotism though Will Smith doesn't appear until the end credits). When Jaden is angry, he's like meh. When he is happy, he is like meh. When he is sad, he is like meh. You get the drill. Overall, I thought the film wasn't as bad as most people or critics put it out to be. The special effects were nice and the film had a decent pacing to it, though nothing surprising really ever happens. Jaden's acting was bland I'll admit and his character wasn't that interesting, but he is the main focus and the audience just has to deal with it. M...

I guess after years of people "spamming" searches, Hawaiian airlines capped the miles limit to 33 miles per day. Yes, you didn't hear that wrong, after earning 33 miles through the Hawaiian miles search toolbar, the words "Maximum Rewards Earned" gets displayed preventing you from earning any more miles until 24 hrs from your last search. I remember reading blogs about how people could get up 5,000 miles a month, but with this new ceiling fix, I highly doubt this level can ever be reached again. Still 231 miles a week isn't so bad, but just wished they did not implement this new feature. Sucks that I just started this program not too long ago. For anyone interested, look for the toolbar download here: http://emarket.hawaiianair.com/toolbar_download I think the advertisement got it wrong, but letting you folks know that it takes 3 searches to equal one mile, so it took me 99 searches to make 33 miles. I wonder why its capped at that number, hope its ...

Here's the link to my old site: http://wiileecoolstuff.blogspot.com I will now update my personal blogs through this page. I still believe in the all mighty and eternal creator, God and his son, Jesus Christ who died for our sins. And let's not forget the Holy ghost. In our lives we will hurt others and as well allow others to hurt us, but overall, I urge everyone to forgive and let go of all grudges. If you can't stand the person, then don't interact with him/her. Cut your losses. Even in the Christian life, things aren't always fair. If you trash talk behind the person's back, it does not make you a better person! Forgiveness does not mean excusing the person of his behavior, but you won't allow him/her to bring you down ever again. Always remember to be the better person. But I swear, please do not call forgiveness evil! If you can't forgive, it is your weakness and problem, don't give the name forgiveness a bad rep because you can't forg...
