Starbucks Free Pastry Day - March 23rd 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Key) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:01:00 +0000

I often have the bad habit of skipping breakfast, and every now and then I'll grab myself a pastry at Starbucks as I'm picking up a morning cup of coffee. I like supporting local coffee shops as much as I can, but I have to admit, the SB by the office and by my house has a really good staff and super good customer service, (not to mention some Visionaries fans as well). Whichever coffee shop you do like, I'm sure you love free food.

Starbucks is having their Free Pastry day on March 23rd. This means you purchase a handcrafted beverage, you can get a free croissant, muffin, roll, pound cake, bagel, doughnut, coffee cake, morning bun, or cheese danish. I'm not exactly sure what "handcrafted" beverage means, but I'm sure it doesn't mean that your cup has to be carved out of wood, but to be sure, just check their website for the deal details.

Pa'ina Cafe - 1 week Special - Honolulu, Hawaii

noreply@blogger.com (Qmania) — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:04:00 +0000

A must go to spot for me everytime I visit Honolulu is Pa'ina Cafe in the Ward Warehouse. It's a few doors down from In4mation, Dig Lifestyles and Second Skin, and Pa'ina has poke bowls that I continue to crave when I head back home to Los Angeles.

Pa'ina has a selection of delicious salads, sandwiches and entrees, but my favorite is the Hawaiian Bowl which is a combination of Kalua Pig, Lomi Salmon and your choice of Poke, and they offer brown rice as a healthy option. After picking your style of poke, (either shoyu, hot shoyu ahi, limu ahi, or spicy tuna), you can choose a choice of a wide array toppings including nori, furikake, natto, taegu, kim chee, green onion, and a lot more. There is always a line of people at Pa'ina, meaning it's seriously good eats, and it doesn't take long for them to prep your order so the wait isn't excruciating, and it's definitely worth the wait.

If you haven't tried Pa'ina, now is the time, checkout this special deal starting this weekend:

The Deal: Free Drink w/purchase of any Entree
(for Hawaii Ocean Expo attendees)
Where: Pa'ina Cafe in Ward Warehouse
When: For one week only Sat. February 27 - Sun March 7, 2010

ZPizza Superbowl Pizza Deal - Honolulu, HI

noreply@blogger.com (Qmania) — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 01:40:00 +0000

Whether you're a football fan or not, you know that Super Bowl Sunday is always a reason to party, eat lots of food and cheer on, well, in this case the New Orleans Saints or Indianapolis Colts. I remember going to a Super Bowl party in New York with my buddy Lloyd from Tokyo (originally from the Yay Area), walking into a private party with a bunch of "hipsters," toy designers, and the Beastie Boys with their families, feeling like a total party-crasher, and feeling 20 times worse as the whole party cheered drunkedly as the Buccaneers pounded the Raiders with the former Raider coach "Chuckie." Well, now that the Raiders are that much harder to cheer for, and the Chargers continue to unravel at the wrong moment, who cares! Just do like most people do, wait for the commercial breaks and half-time show while you stuff your face with food, and in this case, ZPizza if you're in Honolulu.

So if you're planning a Super Bowl Party in Honolulu, or just want to grub Pizza on Super Bowl Sunday, check out this deal:

Innov8 Magazine brings the Local Buzz to interisland travel

noreply@blogger.com (Qmania) — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 22:38:00 +0000

After I jump on an airplane and get settled in my seat, the first thing I usually do when they tell me to shut off my Iphone and "all electronic equipment" is reach into the seat pocket in front of me, hoping not to touch something gross and sticky, usually to find a strange illustration of what to do an emegency should my flight pummel into the ocean, or, to find a catalog of interestingly useless things to purchase, or of course, the inflight magazine.

Well, if you happen to be hopping around in Hawaii on a GO! Mokulele interisland flight, you'll be lucky enough to find the ultra-kool Innov8 Magazine. Innov8 is free for passengers to take, and surprisingly so; the mag feels more of the quality of a coffee table art 'zine, with articles about food, culture, fashion, and all things local. While some might argue Innov8 appeals to a "younger-hip" demographic, age ain't nothin' but a number (like R. Kelly said unfortunately), and Innov8 appeals to all who are interested in exciting innovative things, (pun intended). Besides, who uses the word "hip" now anyways, unless your talking about hip-hop, but I digress...

If you get your grubby little hands on an Innov8 magazine, you'll be happy to find a special "Local Buzz" page, that features some exclusive deals and discounts from local businesses including some of Hawaii's favorite restaurants, clothing boutiques, nightlife locations, spas, and much more. So pick up an Innov8 and get your "Free Drumstick" at Popeye's Chicken Hawaii, or get a hookup on your meal at the Mai Tai bar at the Royal Hawaiian Resort, or any of the many exclusive deals in the mag.

Don't worry if you're not on a GO! Mokulele flight right now, you can checkout an online version of Innov8 and the "Local Buzz" deals here:

More Black Friday Sales - Dig Lifestyles + Fitted - Hawaii Hot Spots

noreply@blogger.com (Key) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 09:46:00 +0000

So you want more, yes you do, Black Friday is always out of control and here's 2 more best places to shop in Hawaii for the best gear hookups, Dig Lifestyles and Fitted Hawaii.

DIG LIFESTYLES
Dig Lifestyles is located in the Ward Warehouse, just across from the homies at In4mation. Dig carries brands such as Hot Air, Orisue, and one of my favorites Dita Eyewear. This urban gear hotspot is not only known for having some of the sickest gear, but they bring some of the best talent to the island including Q-Tip, Mos Def, and Talib Kweli. Dig Lifestyles is legit, pay them a visit if you're blessed enough to be in beautiful Honolulu. Check out their Black Friday sale and hook yourself up.

FITTED HAWAII
Now if you're looking for some sick fitted caps to cover your dome with, and you happen to be a lucky sucker on the island of Oahu, then you gotta go check out the super cap shop Fitted Hawaii. Yes, you will find things there that you won't find anywhere else in the world, if you happen to stroll in at the right time. They have a Black Friday Sale with some dope Black Friday releases, you better go now, because I think it's already on and poppin'.

All I know is I'm sending out one of my Hawaii fam to go scoop me up a bunch of stuff from Kicks HI, In4mation, Dig Lifestyles, and Fitted Hawaii, because you can never have too much Aloha in your life, especially when it's as fresh as what these cats are bringing to the scene. So if you're on the island, or just visiting, there's no excuse not to go drop some dough at these Best Urban Boutiques in Hawaii.

Big ups to all the Hawaii Fam, I'll see you in a few!

Black Friday Sales: Kicks HI and In4mation - Hawaii Hot Spots

noreply@blogger.com (Qmania) — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 21:36:00 +0000

All the Long Beach heads are heading to Proper for their Black Friday sale, well, where's all the Hawaii fam heading? Yep, that's right, the spots that I ultimately have to get to every time I'm at my home away from home, Kicks HI and In4mation. Just as I vouch for the owners of Proper, cats like DJ Delve at Kicks HI and Todd Shimabuku at In4mation have been down with Up Above Records, the Visionaries, and all of our affiliates for nearly a decade, and not only am I a fan of their stores and product, but I have a respect for how they carry themselves in what could be a rather pretentious world of fake fashionistas and jockers.

KICKS HI: Now the homies at Kicks HI have been doing it right for years now, I'm sure you've heard of the famous "Aloha Dunk" that helped the world recognize this top-tier sneaker shop in Hawaii. Whether they're coming from the New York, Los Angeles or Tokyo, heads have to visit one of Kicks HI two locations when they visit Honolulu. With an extraordinary selection of shoes you probably can't find in most sneaker shops around the world, along with unique Kicks HI gear that captures the HI state of mind, you'll definitely load up when you stop by their Makaloa or Ward Center locations. You won't want to miss the Black Friday One Day Sale, checkout the flyer for details.

IN4MATION
With a lot of people trying to "come up" in the trendy urban boutique market, the fellas at In4mation are serious heads: seriously humble and seriously passionate about representing the movement correctly with respect and knowledge of the circles they are down with. The fam at In4mation are lacing up customers on Black Friday as well. You're probably well aware of the collaborations they've done with Vans, Diamond, Gravis, etc., and their clothing line is a favorite amongst my homies with a discriminating design sense. I've heard that their latest In4mation x Vans Half Cab has just arrived, and should be released sooner than soon, so don't sleep on becoming an In4mation insider so you don't miss the release. In4mation has locations at the Ward Warehouse, their Aloha Army shop at Waikiki Beachwalk, and the brand new store in Pearlridge. Check out their Black Friday Sale this Give Thanks weekend.

Happy Shopping people, spend all of your money at the right places!

Proper Shoe Store - Black Friday Sale - 25% off

noreply@blogger.com (Key) — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 18:34:00 +0000

It seems that with the whole sneaker craze, everyone and their mother's (figuratively and literally) are rocking the latest limited edition freshest kicks. With all the hyper crazy color-ways, over usage of the elephant print, and other textures, there's so much visual noise out there, or should I say, down there on peoples feet that I find myself clinging on to my classic basic styles.

Well enough with my rant, one of my favorite shops that just happens to be a few blocks away from me as well, is Proper in the East Arts Village in Long Beach, CA. The store's owners are humble, have a style sensibility and historical respect for great design, unlike what you would experience from many other "too cool for school" boutiques.

I can't remember the last time, or ever, that I've seen any "Sale" at Proper, so take this as big news for this coming Black Friday.

STORE: PROPER

DEAL: 25% the entire shop

DATE: 11.27.2009 (Black Friday)

ADDRESS: 425 E 1st St

Long Beach, CA 90802-4905

Creative Recreation Shoes Parking Lot Sale at Sportie LA

noreply@blogger.com (Key) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 19:02:00 +0000

Creative Recreation is one of my favorite shoe brands and for good reason; their styles are original, edgy, and owner Rich One is a very good friend of mine. For those who don't know, Rich "One" Confinco has been in the shoe industry for years, formerly designing for Vans, launching other boutique shoe brands, and finally, grinding on Creative Recreation for somewhere around a decade. Rich One is a ultra-talented artist who has designed art for many of his neighborhood homies including the first 12" single cover for Up Above Records "Can U Hear It," the first 2 Visionaries album covers, and the Visionaries "Eyecon" logo. Rich's circle of friends and family include the Beat Junkies, Visionaries, and the owners of Crooks & Castles. While everyone knows that I'm a shoe head, well, Rich One is one of the O.G.'s when you're talking sneakers, probably about a decade and a half appreciating kicks before the "sneaker craze."

As a graff writer, dancer, and consummate hip-hop head, Rich One lives by the philosophy of being original and adhering to the "NO BITING" ethic that has been seemingly lost in this generation of copy-cat, formula-stealing clones. Shortly after the Creative Recreation "Cesario" started gaining recognition from LA, Tokyo, to NYC, you will see the obvious "influences" the shoe had on designs from Puma to Nike. With that being said, you should know that Creative Recreation is just that:
Uber-Creative design in footwear for your Recreational activities.

Well, here's your chance to scoop some CRecs up at a "Parking Lot Sale" at Sportie LA.
Friday 10.23 through Sunday 10.25.2009
12 - 6 pm

Walgreens Coupon - $5 Off $25 or more

noreply@blogger.com (Romel Edmond) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:14:00 +0000

Walgreens, the pleasant, quaint, cosy, and every other endearing adjective that describes the store that has it all, is now selling it all, for $5 cheaper.
To say that Walgreens sells everything isn't too much of an overstatement, either. They have a bit of everything, and a lot of some things. A friend of mine had a bout with constipation and went to Walgreens for an enema. I went to Walgreens for a tube of cream for my rash when I contracted chickenpox. In those two trips, it is amazing to walk the isles and see so many things to stock your house with.

To qualify for the $5 savings, you must have at least $25 worth of items to buy. Here are just a few things to consider buying:

Maylong GPS Navigation
Lifesource Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

Acer Aspire Laptop - $399

noreply@blogger.com (Romel Edmond) — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:50:00 +0000

The folks at 1SaleADay.com have done it again. And this one is a gem, like a ruby gem, like a ruby red laptop normally valued at $1,199 for only $399.

1SaleADay, for 24 hours only, is offering a true gem of a deal: Acer Aspire AS1410-8804 Notebook for $399. Here are some of the specs: Ruby Red color, 11.6" screen, 3GB Memory, 250GB Hard drive, 1.4GHz processor speed, HDMI hookups, up to 6 hour battery life.

For me, the most important thing about a laptop is its battery life. A lot of PC laptops have short battery lives of up to only 4 hours, sometimes (a lot of times) less than that. And face it, the reason you get a laptop is so you're not teathered and can venture out further than the nearest wall socket. That is the reason I've been on the hunt lately for a good Macbook. But this Acer Aspire laptop is a different breed. It is built for portability. That is why it has a highly mobile 11.6" screen and amazing battery life of 6 hours that rivals the Macbook's battery life. That is amazing.

Go ahead, mix business and pleasure! The Acer Aspire AS1410-8804 Notebook PC is thin, light, portable, and powerful enough for either business, pleasure, or both. This stylish ruby red color Notebook PC is unique not only because of its cool color. It has an Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 processor, 3GB of DDR2 memory and a huge 250GB hard drive that can store all your movies and videos. Movies, videos, and photos are displayed in astonishing detail with its large HD Color LCD screen with 1366 x 768 resolution. It boasts a 6-cell Lithium-Ion battery that delivers hours of non-stop playing time and wireless Intel 802.3ab and 802.11n technologies to make sure you are in constant contact.

Taking advantage of this opportunity is simple. Head over to 1SaleADay and buy it now before the clock stops ticking.

Friends & Family 30% off Sale at Foot Locker 9/24 - 9/27/2009

noreply@blogger.com (Key) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 18:47:00 +0000

Basketball League started up again for me this weekend, and it reminds me that I need to look into getting some new basketball shoes and some new shorts as well. I like wearing the Jordan brand shorts even if I don't play like Michael, more like the Japanese Shaq of my league, lol. I know, it's football season, so you Raiders and Chargers fans can go scoop up some team gear for 30% off. The 49'ers are making a toughness statement on D, yes, I was never a huge 49'ers fan but I had the opportunity to hang out with "Uncle" Jesse Sapolu and listen to his war stories from his 14 year career with the Niners in which he won 4 Super Bowl rings with Montana and Young in 1984, 1988, 1989, and 1994 and earned Pro Bowl honors in 1993 and 1994. On top of that, he's just a super warm and kind person. Uncle Jesse alone gives me a reason to cheer for the 49'ers, and I have to admire Mike Singetary's toughness resonating through the squad.

Well, back to the reason I'm writing this, once again my friends and family, Foot Locker is having a F & F sale for thirty-percent off. So if you're looking for great shoe deals, or sales on sneakers, you might be able to go into the outlet section of the Footlocker.com and get an extra big hookup on some kicks.

Xbox 360 Elite - $50 Rebate

noreply@blogger.com (Romel Edmond) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:36:00 +0000

Xbox 360 Elite now reduced to $249.99

This is pretty major news in the gaming world. First the Xbox 360 was reduced to $299, then Sony followed suit and reduced the PS3 to $299. So now Microsoft has hit back with a rebate that makes the Xbox 360 Elite a mere $249.99. This is major news since people tend to look at price first before making their selection.

I’ve been looking to get a new Xbox 360 for a while after my old one finally went kaput, so this is great timing. It is also surprising that the price is this low even before the major holiday shopping season has begun.

The Xbox 360 Elite is great for a couple reasons: 1) it is a slick black color and 2) it comes with a 120 gig hard drive which means you won’t have to worry about limited space. After a while on my old Xbox 360 I had to delete game saves – hard decisions had to be made. That is no prob with a 120 gig hard drive. The other reason you need a larger hard drive is because the Xbox 360 now gives the functionality of downloading certain games straight from Xbox live so you don’t even need the CD. You just pay for a full game with Xbox live credits.

The Xbox 360 Elite, the premier Xbox 360 console package that includes a massive 120GB hard drive that is all wrapped up with a premium black finish. Xbox 360 Elite also includes a black wireless controller, black Xbox LIVE headset, standard definition composite cable, and an ethernet cable. Xbox 360 Elite has enough space for a whole library of Xbox LIVE Arcade games as well as downloadable high-definition TV shows, movies, music, and all the other content available from Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Timberland Friends and Family Event - 40% Off

noreply@blogger.com (Romel Edmond) — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:14:00 +0000

What is it about a pair of Timberland that separate themselves from the competition? Timberland boots are one of the few pair of shoes that you can wear that don't have to match your clothes. Time after time I've worn my brown boots with blue jeans and no regard for having to worry about them matching anything else I'm wearing. It is a major statement when you can wear something and not match!

But of course you want your outfit to match as often as it can. That is easy to do when shopping at a Timberland story and right now you can put together a Timberland outfit for 40% off the regular price. Check these out:

Men's Thin Stripe Slub Jersey Polo

These slubbed cotton polo shirts go through an enzyme wash so they come out feeling super-soft to the touch. They're just as comfortable as your favorite tee but the collar gives them a more stylish, smart look. Imported.

I have this shirt, but in a different color and the description describes the comfort perfectly. It looks heavier than it is. It's actually fun to wear.

This is just one of the many sweet items you can get for 40% off. The Timberland Friends and Family event is from now until September 21st.

Use this coupon to save 40% off in-store purchases.

While you're online, check out these Timberlands shoes, apparel and accessories already on sale, up to 40% off.

Best Buy $10-$20 off Video Games

noreply@blogger.com (Romel Edmond) — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 16:09:00 +0000

For the longest time I was a huge video game buff. I have to admit that I've been slacking on my playing and collecting. For the past decade, the video game industry has been flourishing, even taking in more profits than the movie industry one month last year. But, as economic times got rough and the recession peaked, video games didn't change with the tides of time. Video game prices stayed the same while consumer spending went down.Well, with all that being said, Best Buy knows our plight as consumers and is doing their part to make games more accessible by offering a great coupon deal. With these coupon deals, you can save up to $10-$20 off of video games at Best Buy.

First sign up for the Best Buy Reward Zone. Membership is free, there aren't any fees. You earn 1 point for almost every $1 you spend at Best Buy stores and BestBuy.com and you get access to special member-only promotions and offers.

Then you use this printable coupon to save up to $20 off a selection of great video games spread across all of the major platforms.

Here is the rundown:
SAVE $10:
Nintendo DS: High School Musical 3: Senior Year (8998926) PS2: Bratz: Girls Really Rock (9009477), Guitar Hero: Aerosmith (8736585) Wii: High School Musical 3: Senior Year (8999006) Xbox 360: FaceBreaker (8978369) SAVE $20: PS2: Guitar Hero World Tour (8870073), High School Musical 3: Senior Year (9078721) F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin (9173182), Fuel (9360489), Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (8499528) PSP: Secret Agent Clank (8856721) Wii: Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution (9248708) Xbox 360: X Blades (9215164)

Though I don't play video games as much as I used to, I still follow the industry and I've followed X Blades quite a bit. It is a well reviewed fun game that you can now get for cheap. Especially with this rebate deal from the game's developers for an additional $5 savings with this rebate.

For parents looking to give the gift of video games to their kids, this is a good route to do so without hurting the pocketbook.
