Church at My House

How many can say that they attend church at their own home? What a blessing!

Backstory: Previously, I used to live across the street from Waikele Elementary School where Inspire Church began. It was called Hope Chapel West Oʻahu back then. After moving to town, I prayed that Inspire would open a new branch closer to home. We opened Inspire City at New Life Church in Chinatown. That was an answered prayer! After a year-and-a-half, we moved into Kaimuki High School. Kaimuki High is actually located along Kapiʻolani Blvd., which is the street that I live on. But I guess God wasn’t done answering my prayer. He put Inspire Honolulu in my building. We now have Sunday evening service at Studio 909. Consider yourself invited!

What an incredible blessing it is to come down the elevator for church. But no excuse for being late…

Too Cool….

Two cool new places recently opened nearby. Lucy’s Lab is one block down from 909 on Kamake’e Street.

This shop has really cool flavors! I’ve tried the Sea Salt Caramel one. So ono! This is the Bacon & Whiskey flavor that I had at tonight’s grand opening. It was amazing as well. Only problem is  that it’s a little too convenient for me. Hehe.

Here’s part of the line that went outside the door at tonight’s grand opening. Mean….

The other new place is Mr. Tea Café. Talk about convenient, this café is in my building! Extremely happy! It’s also one of the better bubble tea shops around. I really like the milk teas here. The owner painstakingly prepares the boba in small batches, so it’s always fresh.

They have macarons! They get them from La Tour Café.

Very happy and content. Two cool places. Too cool….

What’s Cookin’?

Nothin’ much. But I should be. I have a good enough kitchen.

909 comes with a pretty well equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances.

I have All-Clad and Le Creuset cookware (works great for my instant ramen noodles.)

I have a set of Henckels knives to cut stuff. Chop, chop….

I even have a bunch of cooking thingys and gadgets.

Still, I need to get my act together. Here’s my inspiration….

I need to cook more. I can do this. C’mon over for some Nabe this winter. Nom noms….

3 Years at 909

Time flies. Today marks my 3rd year of living here at 909 Kapiolani. I still enjoy every minute of it. My condo is small, but that makes it easy to clean. I have a view, and I have AC. (And I don’t have to clean yard….)

But what I like best is the location. My commute to work is only 20 minutes. I’m right across from the Blaisdell Center. I live near Ala Moana Beach and the Ward Entertainment Complex. I can also walk to restaurants, cafés, shops, and museums. With the revitalization of Kaka’ako, there are cool events to check out.

Here’s the YouTube video that I made a couple of years ago. Happy Anniversary 909….
