Wow! was all I could say this morning when I checked my email and saw a counter offer from B of A. I submitted a short sale offer to Bank of America 14 days ago. In the past two weeks, I uploaded all the required documentation, on schedule, including all the homeowner documentation. The BPO was completed two days ago and I got the last required homeowner document in yesterday.... So I was just a little bit suprised to get a response so quickly. To put this in context, I should tell you that my last short sale with Bank of America, completed a few months ago, took 11 months to close. During this period I managed virtual unresponsiveness from the negotiators, a nervewracking series of 10 or 11 sale postponements, 5 separate negotiators, 2 buyers, dozens of conversations with attorneys and...

Mary Kawena Pukui: (1895-1986) Hawaiian Linguist and Scholar Mary Kawena Pukui is considered a cultural treasure here in Hawaii and her tireless dedication to preserving, recording, and reviving the Hawaiian language has left an indelible mark on contemporary Hawaiian culture and history. Ms. Pukui is best known for having published the first Native Hawaiian language dictionary as well as the renowned "Olelo No Eau" a collection of ancient Hawaiian proverbs and sayings. It is through her work and dedication, in a time when Hawaiian culture was threatened with extinction, that helped push the native Hawaiians or Kanaka Maoli into a cultural renaissance. Ancient Hawaiians had no written language and depended on oral traditions such as story telling, chant, and dance(hula) to convey inform...

I have enjoyed my time on Active Rain. I have been in property management for several months now and have kept blogging. So far, it isnot really helping me the same way it was when I was an agent. Blogging does not seem to bring me more knowledge as a property manager or more clients either. I have notified Active Rain to stop my account as a rainmaker. I will still check in and blog, but no more $39 a month for me.

Superbowl Sunday in Honolulu, Hawaii is like a holiday. It is a gorgeous day with warm sunny weather. People are at the beach playingvolleyball, swimming, surfing, and having a BBQ. Some restaurants have specials for Superbowl so we are meeting there for some connecting with friends. It is so nice to watch the Superbowl in warm sunny weather with people happy and calm for the aloha life. I had no rentals calls today as people are celebrating Superbowl 2011.

 農曆新年 春節  Please enjoy this brief slide show of some of the New Year excitement. There is nothing quite as colorful as a Chinese New Year parade, and Honolulu's Chinatown hosts one of the most vibrant. The Agrarian Calender New Year 農曆新年 also known as the Spring Festival 春節 officially begins on the 2nd of February; culminating with the lively nighttime Lantern Festival. The Chinese New Year is usually celebrated on the 2nd new moon after the winter solstice and ends with the full moon 15 days later. Red symbolizes Happiness and Gold, wealth, may you have plenty of both in the coming year!Happy Year 4709    A Colorful Journey - Kung Hee Fat Choi - Year 4709 - Happy Chinese New Year - February 2011 Kimo Stowell Copyright ©2011
