YESS Camp Car Wash and other assortments...

Hello Everyone!

Long time no write, I know. Sadly there will not be any pictures from Tetsuya on here because I forgot to take pictures while everyone was around and the only other pictures are on Rev. Muneto's camera. Apparently Rev. Muneto's camera doesn't want to release the pictures (ask me about this later you might know the solution).

January is almost here and gone, but here are somethings you should know:

SuperBowl Party February 7th 1p.m. email me for details

Giiseikai February 11-12 Hawaii Betsuin

Living Treasures Banquet February 12th email me if you want to help

YESS Camp March 24-26 Camp Maluhia,Maui

Sunday January 24th There was a car wash at the BSC to help cut the cost of camp. We were hoping to have more people come out, but due to the vog and the forecast of rain many people stayed away. Thanks to everyone who got their car washed or donated money. Also special thanks to those who came and helped us wash cars :) Below is probably the longest picture trail you will ever see on this blog.

*note my editting skills make the day seem sunny when it really wasn't.

Tetusya!!!

I know I've spoken the world's most dreaded phrase for a student. FINALS WEEK. Yes, I know that for UH students your fall semester is winding down and as you prepare for Winter Break and time away from school. We here at the BSC understand your needs. We've been there and lived through that and are prepared to help you with all your needs.

During Finals Week (December 13-18, 2009) the BSC:

- is open 24 hours starting on Sunday the 13th

- you can sleep over

- real food and junk food is provided along with refrehsments

-we have old school Nintendo and other game systems to relieve your stress

-cable tv to watch your melodramas or dvds

-wireless internet for when you need it

-it's pretty quiet during the day since everyone is working, studying, or sleeping

So visit us during this time and we wish you well on your finals!

It's Coming...

I know that it's been forever and a day since I actually wrote a blog here. It's mostly because I've been forgetting to take pictures that are blog worthy. Of Note:

Movie Night was good. I wish more of you had come but sometime soon I'll be showing Ponyo for Movie Night or there will be another event.

ACM Night at HIFF was good. Robbie's film was really cute though I think he told me that it didn't win :( For pictures from ACM night that are good check out Robbie's facebook.

TETSUYA! is coming. I know that most of you didn't want to hear that because it will just create added stress to your day. For those who don't know Tetsuya means Cram Session and in short form the BSC will be here for all your studying needs. We provide dinner and assorted junk food. You can also stay over although you'll have to deal with couches and the floor since there are no beds. If you stay over we do have a shower. I'll be here 24/7 during Tetsuya in case there are anything that happens, so you can come bug me. If you come by late make sure that you let me know, so that I can let you in.

Movies galore!

Hey Everyone!

Don't forget we're going to have movie night this Friday, so come and bring your friends! It will be a good time.

Also I'm told that Mr. Robbie Omura has a film screening at the Hawaii International Film Festival on October 23 at 7:45p.m. Dole Cannery Theaters, so you should check it out. If you're super cool and have digital cable then you can also check it out there on channel 680. Vote on channel 681!

Movie Night!!!

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you are doing well and that your midterms haven't let your mind explode yet.....

I know that life at the BSC has been quiet lately, but I wanted to let you know that on October 16th at 6p.m. we'll be having Movie Night!!!

For this movie night we will be showing Hayao Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle.

If there's time we might show another movie, but who knows. Bring your friends and blankets if you want. We'll provide the food, drink and movie so you can sit back relax and enjoy a relaxing night.

Got questions or other thoughts contact me. Information listed in the sidebar. Thanks!

YESS Camp!!!!

Hey Everyone!

In case you didn't know...YESS camp meetings are starting and we NEED YOU! It's true, Jake Chang who apparently WON'T WRITE A BLOG! says that in order to put on a really awesome camp we could use some more people to help out. We secretly want to go back to Camp Maluhia since we haven't been there in a really, really long time. If you need to know who else is participating with camp e-mail Jake: youth@ honpahi.com.

Can't wait to see you and meet you. Pics to come soon!

Ohana Conference

Thanks Wayde, Grant and Robbie for helping film at Ohana Conference. You are awesome! Ohana Conference and the Commemoration activities had a good turn out and even though there were slight problems with some things everything turned out alright.

It was such an honor to hear the GoMonshu Ohtani speak as well as hear Jake Shimabukuro and Kirk Shimabukuro perform at the Commemoration banquet.

Jake Shimabukuro's latest songs released on a single Annon can be purchased online through itunes or purchased at the Annon Cafe at Tsukiji Market.
