Chinese Chamber of Commerce of Hawaii has organized the special event called the Splendor of China to introduce and share Chinese cultures with the Hawaii residents. In this event, many vendors and groups have booths set up to interact with visitors. This event will be held for today and tomorrow (Oct 3^rd and 4^th 2009). If you have missed the first day you are still able to visit them on Sunday.

· Single (never been married or given birth to a child)

· Must be 19 to 26 years of age on pageant date - Revised as of June 2003

As you have probably noticed, Karen Chang (standing on the far left in 2^nd picture), who was also helping out at our previous AIDS WALK Sponsorship event, has also decided to run for this 61st Narcissus Pageant. According to the rule of this pageant, all the contestants must have some Asian background in order to enter. On the far right of the picture is Yi Ting Ling (aka Raina) is the President of the Taiwanese Student Organization at HPU.

Here are some pictures of other contestants

60^th pageant finalist Dan Yuan (the 2^nd one from the right) was also present at the event to give support to the upcoming contestants. Dan Yuan has also been actively working hard to help out the Splendor of China Event and recruiting contestants for the 61^st pageant. We also recognize her for coming to help out at the AIDS WALK event sponsored by 808citycard to bring about the awareness of AIDS to the public.

At the Splendor of China event, there were also other performances such as Chinese martial art, dog show, musical performances and others. A monitor was set up to explain the rail system that Hawaii is planning to build. Of course, there were also some interesting discussions taking place with those that do not support such rail system.

Of course, what would an event be without food to fill the hunger? People were happily enjoying the delicious lunch at the event.Today is also the Moon Festival for the Chinese community. Many Chinese residents today will be gathering with family members and friends for an enjoyable dinner while looking at the full moon. 808Citycard wishes the best of luck to all the contestants and congratulate them for their hard works and courage. Everyone is a winner on the stage.

The 70,000-square-foot center, which was acquired two years ago from the Hind family by American Commercial Equities of Malibu, Calif., is being transformed into a more modern venue with a central food court.

“It’s a cleaner, smarter, updated look,” said Fred Noa, senior vice president at CB Richard Ellis, which handles leasing for the center.

ACE considers the center on seven acres a long-term investment, according to Noa, and is putting plenty of capital into infrastructure upgrades, including electricity and plumbing.

In + Form Design is designing the new center, which will remain one level.

The center is home to about 30 longtime shops and restaurants, including the U.S. Postal Service and a library, with varying leases.

While some of the stores will stay and some will go, or have already gone, ACE — in response to the Aina Haina Community Association — said it would keep some mom-and-pop stores.

Wayson Chow, president of the association, said it was most concerned at the loss of mom-and-pops, with several lost and another seven that have not signed leases yet.

Among the ones the association says has not signed yet are Doe Fang, Clay Cafe and Flowers and Sunshine.

Some tenants — like Chuck E. Cheese, American Savings Bank and Komokata Japanese Restaurant — have gone. Scoops ice cream shop will be leaving.

Others, including Jack’s Restaurant, First Hawaiian Bank, Wet Feet, Subway and Cupcake Couture, will stay.

Foodland recently closed its 25,000-square-foot store, and will be reopening as the more upscale Foodland Farms in January.

Genki Sushi, meanwhile, is finishing up a new concept restaurant slated to open next door to Foodland sometime this month.

At the heart of the center will be a food court featuring flagstone pavers, a tentlike awning and a seating area for customers.

Three restaurants will fill the food court, including Korean Hibiscus BBQ, which will move from its current location. Noa is in negotiations with a cafe and frozen-yogurt operator for the other two spaces.

There is also a 50-50 chance there will be a drugstore, Noa said.

The former Chuck E. Cheese space and former U.S. Taekwondo Center space next door will be rebuilt into a new retail area as part of the first phase of renovations.

The 76 Gas Station, owned by Mid Pac Petroleum, will begin remodeling in October and reopen in December. McDonald’s will move to space formerly occupied by American Savings Bank and build a new restaurant featuring its new coffee concept.

The current McDonald’s site, meanwhile, will be demolished and redeveloped into a small retail strip, part of the second phase of renovations.

The first phase should be completed next year, while the second phase is expected to be done in the first half of 2011.

Hawaii has one of the nation’s highest rates of alcohol addiction but ranks as the state with the least drug dependence, according to a federal government survey released yesterday.

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration

More than four out of 100 people over 12 years old in Hawaii are addicted to alcohol, says the study from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, an agency within the U.S. Health and Human Services Department.

That puts Hawaii ahead of only Montana and the District of Columbia, and worse than the national average of 3.4 per 100 people.

Only 1.4 percent of Hawaii residents acknowledged illicit drug dependence, which beats every other state in the survey conducted in 2006 and 2007. Nationwide, 1.9 percent said they were addicted to drugs.

“While that rate of dependence on drugs is low, it’s just the opposite for dependence on alcohol,” said Art Hughes, a co-author of the report with the Office of Applied Studies.
