I ride on the deserted one a.m. highways. The streetlights zoom past me one-by-one as I enter hyper speed into the road’s abyss. I ride to Sunway‚ second home to me and Ben‚ my closest friend.

We plan to meet at Bidara‚ the go-to restaurant for when we feel rebellious and sneak out of our homes‚ unbeknownst to our parents‚ late at night. I ride out early to

If someone examined a dictionary‚ they might be astonished by the wide range of meanings the term ’Culture’ has.

It was the depths of winter‚ and the view outside my window was not the familiar white sands of Kailua beach‚ but a thick blanket of snow.

It started with a girl and ended with a trip down a flight of stairs. My near death experience has tremendously changed the way I live and perceive life‚ thus defining who I am.
