What is your favorite restaurant?

I love the old Italian ambience:

It makes me feel like

I’m in the scene of The Godfather.

My most favorite in their menu:

Garlic Parmesan Wings and Spaghetti Carbonara—

I forget my diet when I am at Bucca—

One of the best in Honolulu.

That’s why I don’t understand,

Why they’re closing?

It saddens me.

Because once a restaurant becomes a favorite joint

And that it last for decades—

It becomes a part of the community.

So losing them,

Creates a void.

Personal:

To Bucca Di Peppo of Honolulu:

You’re the best!

Thank you for serving good Italian foods for decades!

Thank you for singing on countless of birthdays;

You made us feel special.

You would be missed. . .

Terribly. . .

Guaranteed!

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

Youth may have abandon me,

But wisdom took her place.

I’m becoming quiet,

Discerning the noise over relevant.

My gray hairs would speak

That I am wiser than ever before.

In moving, such as walking,

I maybe slower;

But please,

Drop the suffixes,

Because I am not competing with anyone.

I am grateful that I had my time and

I have enjoyed most of it.

Thank you, yesteryears!

Describe something you learned in high school.

Gone are the days, when teachers would be there to guide you all throughout.

When adulthood begins, here comes a life filled with responsibilities—and there’s no turning back.

What’s the most fun way to exercise?

Some do yoga. Some do tai-chi. Some are walking. But whatever they do—they inspire me to do my thing too (and not to mention you’d feel younger too). Then again, amid aging; they have the determination to stay fit and be on “top of the game.”
