O’ahu Sky

Kids were applying their passports in Waimanalo and that’s how it was like facing west, on top of Ko’olau range…

They will be starting their summer 🏫 at UH in Kane’ohe on marine biology next week.  What an exciting time for me driving them to/from there weekdays 😞

A hui hou, Kaiser 🏫; Aloha UH Manoa

Ceremony was over an hour long, in strong 🌬 and isolated ☔️.  Alas, part of human 🧠


Both kids will be going to UH's environmental science course during summer, in Kaneohe.  Then Ma'e Ma'e will attend PacStep @ UH Manoa.  Stupid AP Chemistry 👩🏻‍🏫 suddenly required all students to attend DOE's AP Brain Camp during the same week at PacStep, so there may be a conflict there 😫

🥉 Oahu Math Bowl Division I


That's the top division, after Roosevelt then Iolani, and before all others like Kamahameha, Punahou, etc...

A 1st and only time (so far) for Kaiser HS.

👍🏻🎊🎉

He was also earning several achievements @ Kaiser.


Unfortunately none of Ma’e Ma’e’s 👨🏻‍🏫👩🏻‍🏫 participated in the ceremony hence she didn’t get any, just like previous year (except Chinese class which she isn’t eligible to get it 2nd time.)

Keko'a 🤕👨🏻‍🦽

Less than 20 minutes into , collided with player from other team, and dislocated 2nd toe 🦶🏻 in 2 joints (most likely being stepped on)...



Went to ER @ Pali Momi 🏥, 👨🏻‍⚕️ said 1 second pain to put joints back, or longer time* for anesthesia 💉.  Without thinking twice and in less than 1 second, anesthesia 💉.  "How many do you need," 👨🏻‍⚕️ asked.  "2," Keko'a replied.  "Before I ordered 💉, do you really NOT want me to snap back the joints in 1 second?"  👨🏻‍⚕️ asked.  "Yes," Keko'a responded without any 2nd 🤔.  Now he's wearing a special boot for about a week, and has to go to his PCP to get the a-👌🏻 for the recovery.  No any sport for 3-6 weeks though.

On another news, Ma'e Ma'e got accepted into NHS in her sophomore year, 1 year earlier than Keko'a.  

A schoolmate of her also committed suicide, but she (or Keko'a) didn't really know the guy...

🏝 is currently on a dry spell.  YES and FINALLY!  👍🏻👏🏻

* Took us 2+ hours longer because x-rays were needed before and after to go this way.

Final Oahu Math Competition for Keko’a 🥲


He did it!  Top 10 in the overall competition and being a senior participant (at the top).  That’s in addition to all the other 🏆🏅 both Ma’e Ma’e and he have obtained for Kaiser, helping 🏫 to be 4th overall this year.  Yes, that means beating a heck of a number of other private and public 🏫, like Kamehameha HS!

👍🏻🙌🏻🎉🎊
