Magandang Gabi (Good Evening) Friends.  After a HUGE learning curve as engineer/producer, I am now proud to share our new podcast.  Remember WAY BACK in this blog, when I talked about our KNDI radio show?  For multiple reasons, the Pinoy Dynamic Trio and I decided to transition to a podcast format.

The new podcast is very similar to the radio show.  It has a lot of the same elements and segments.  The only things it is lacking (right now) are:

(1) Music.  I am working on this on the engineering/production side and the copyright side.

(2) Me.  Since the production has taken so much time, I am unable to join the show as a content provider.  No worries.  That will happen in the future.

Why "Pinoy 808"?  I knew you were wondering.  "Pinoy" because it is a shorthand way of referring to Filipino culture.  "808" because that is the one area code for Hawai`i.  Yes, we are a small state.  Our population is less than metro Detroit.

We broadcast from Waipahu, Hawai`i, which is mostly Filipino.  You will hear Ilocano and Tagalog, two major languages of the Philippines.  You will hear a lot about the Philippines, especially from Kuya Cris.  You will hear a lot about Filipino culture and food from Ate Remy.  You will hear a lot about local culture from Manong Mo.  It is a variety show, so the content is various.

Right now, we do NOT broadcast our podcast live.   However, we are considering doing this in the future, so you will be able to see us on YouTube every Sunday night.

If you are one of my hospital peeps from Michigan, please share with the Filipino staff.  At St. Joe's (Trinity Health) they meet at the end of every shift outside the Chapel.  Please tell them about this podcast.  I think they will be interested, and it will help support them.

A Review from Waipahu of "The White Lotus" (Season One)

-

"The White Lotus" is a hit series on HBO/MAX, now in its third season.  After I moved to Waipahu, my kids asked if I’d seen season one.  Prior to their question, I had never heard of the show.   This tells you something about my ability to keep up with the times.  i.e. dinosaur So my wife and I turned on the series.  We plowed through all six episodes within a week. It was a well-done drama, perfectly cast.  It had an great script, soundtrack, and cinematography. It was filmed in Hawai`i, at an isolated upscale resort hotel.  I'm not sure of the exact location. The show had "almost" NOTHING to do with life in Waipahu.  At least how I've experienced life in Waipahu. Perhaps that was the point of the entire season one: To show how fake tourism can be from real life. I said “almost.” Colonialism One theme from the show was colonialism and its legacy..  It didn't take center stage, at least for the majority of season.  Instead, it was m...

Introduction

A Year in Waipahu Most travel books and blogs focus on the bright and shiny places in this world.  Not this one.  You landed here instead.  Of course I enjoy the bright and shiny places, just as much as the next tourist.   But for my money, the best stories happen in the regular places of this world.  The neighbors who share their story, and maybe their food.  The kids who grow up in rather plain fashion but are destined to move mountains.  The local business owners who know everyone.   And then there are the regular buildings.  In towns with some history (and generations of families), the homes reflect a certain pride.  Houses are well kept but not ostentatious.  In these kinds of neighborhoods, people's homes are not for show but for lifestyle.   In these regular neighborhoods, community centers are centers of life.  They can be cultural centers, churches, temples, schools, you get the idea.  As Centers, they are us...

Transitioning to "Resident"

-

Our abode replete with rainbows It had to happen.  At some point, any place you move to, stops being completely new and starts to be your residence.  This is true whether you move across the street or across the world.     A year is plenty of time to allow this transition.   For us, this transition to "resident" has definitely been underway.   In this transition, things are experienced differently.   Instead of finding a new doctor, we are scheduling appointments and refilling prescriptions.   Instead of always looking things up on GPS, I know my way around more intuitively.   Instead of meeting new people all the time at work, there are the beginning of familiarity and patterns.   There are even the beginnings of familiar routines, such as shopping at Costco.       Even my weekly role on our KNDI 1270 AM radio show feels less awkward; I am starting to relax and enjoy the experience more.   Transitioning Perspect...
