Photography, for me is a Hobby not a Job [Shine @ Bonsai]

Hello all my great readers. I know weird title huh? Anyways, I realized recently that I am remind why I got into photography and it was because I loved taking peoples pictures, and not for the money. This is the reason why I kinda don’t like working with computers any more, because it used to be something I loved until I started working in this career. Now I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. Catch my drift.

A little thing that I’d like everyone to be aware of, I think this past Friday I stopped by Pearl to say “Hi” to the party people there and was stopped before I left to tell people about this!! (sorry Sarah I don’t have a scanner for the flier)

Alright enough with the questions ON TO THE POST!!! or should I say… PICTURES!!!!

Bonsai is a really cool party to be at on a Saturday night and everyone should check it out! The bars are really cool!

Even a camera crew was there taking video.

And of course the people who love to party.

I’m no longer a First Friday virgin [ThirtyNine Hotel Bar 35 The Loft]

Alright before I start this whole thing I must say… this is how work should be done. On a 1080p LCD TV with PIP (picture-in-picture) showing HD football on one side and my computer on the other HAHA. Oh and if you didn’t see it in front of my TV is the “Best Waste of Time” as awarded by @SuperCW on her blog for her “Best of 08” post.

img_8721resize.jpg

Haha anyways its over now and I just saw the worst OT defense ever way to go guys.

So Friday was the first “First Friday” (that is so grammatically wrong) in China Town of the year and well my first ever as well. So I’m no longer a virgin to it. I’ll probably go again next month since there were people telling me that it was slow. So if i was having a good time then that means the next one will be even better!! I guess it was slow because everyone is still hung over from New Years Eve and Day combined. A girl named Linda (whom i still can’t remember where we met each other before) was saying that, “NYE isn’t an excuse. They had a whole day to recover.” I had to laugh at that, because she was right LOL.

Well the spots I went to were ThirtyNine Hotel, Bar 35, and the Loft. These spots were definitely kicking and from what I heard was still kicking after I left to finish some work at home :( @SuperCW, next time I’m coming to Next Door. I swear the tweets were just saying a “off the hook!” party was going on :( Anyways enough talk more pics!!

Coincidentally, the first person I ran into down in China Town is @SuperCW. Rock on! and her buddy from Cali… Lance? Damn I suck at names “Boo me…”

We took a walk up to ThirtyNine Hotel where immediately I started drinking haha. People were having a few drinks and dinner before the big night on the town. This place is cool!

On the stairwells were articles about ThirtyNine Hotel and lots of other stuff too. It was something to really look at on the way up. Next time you go take a peek at it. Just don’t block peoples way.

The Last Post of 2008

Since everyone else has been posting up blogs like this I figured I’d give it a shot. Mine however will be different since I’m sitting on a bus doing mine hehe. So here goes.

This year has been an eventful one, and I think everyone in Hawaii will agree from Obama in office to the Rail Transit dispute. Many new venues to party to many venues closing their doors or being sold. Like me starting a new at a new job at Heald College Honolulu. This year has been very eventful. Oh yeah, my brother got married too.

Well I guess all I really want to say is that this past year has been full of memories that we remember or want to forget, but what we do in the past and present is what makes our future. So here’s to new opportunities and a new year start out fresh again. Make 2009 the year to be remembered

Where does the time go? [Shangri La Thirsty Thursdays Moonlight Mondays Bonsai Oceans]

It’s already the end of the year and there is so much to be done before the end of the year. I need to settle my funds, take care of a lot of pictures and also put a bunch up on here! OMG! well here is the quick and dirty version so here goes!!

December 05, 2008 – My Birthday Party at The W Honolulu- Shangri La with AGN. A big thanks goes out to the AGN crew for inviting me and all my peeps to come out and party for my birthday.

Man Have I Been Busy [Model Jenna Lee, ThirtyNine Hotel, Metromix Party, DragonFly]

Alright, so it has been a while since I had made a post so here goes. Here is the run down of what you will see in this post :)

  • A Photo Shoot with Jenna Lee
  • Beer and Business at ThirtyNine Hotel
  • The Metromix Launch party at Pearl Ultralounge
  • and Dragon Fly at The W Honolulu

Yeah… I don’t know if i’m going to be able to fit that all in here but I’ll give it a shot. HERE GOES!!

First off lets start with Jenna Lee. She wanted to make her boyfriend a wonderful calendar of herself which I though was a very very good idea but she wanted better beach photos. So here I come with my camera!  Here are a few shots that I liked.

If you didn’t notice, I used a bit of LAB Coloring to get the sky a very vibrant color. Don’t you think?

My lens started acting up during this part of the shoot…. but i think it still came out fine.

For the rest of the shots Click Here… and now more after the fold…

Making some moves!! Hana Yori Dango! [The Shack, Bamboo at King St. Cafe, and HIFF]

YO! So yes I know that it has been a while since I had posted anything up, but there is a reason why. I got a new JOB!!!

Yup thats right! I work at Heald College now. So if you go there, look for me in the IT Office in Room 307. I am now and IT Technician there working with a great staff and much better hours. To be honest, I was totally disappointed that I had to leave my position at the radio station, but this is now a new adventure for me.

Another development for me is that 808 Ghosts is on the AIR!!! Check out OC16TV.com to see when it will be on. We had a preview party at CW’s (Coconut Willies) in Waikiki. I actually had my camera there, but I was so excited that I didn’t even take any pictures, BUT! Kawehi Haug posted up a blog to Metromix about the party! YAY! So please! Check out the show and tell your friends. If people love it! We can have a month-to-month show on OC16!

And so now the reason why you come to the CharlieBoy808.com website… Party pics!!! Hehe so first up! The Shack in Waikiki on October 9th. I went there with SpeshylT to listen to a extremely talented artist playing there every Thursday. She was fuckin! AWESOME!! Girl can sing! Here are a few photos from The shack.
