It's hard to believe but Bella turns two today. Time is just flying by and I hardly have time to update the Tiki Lounge blog. We took Bella for her first Disneyland trip last month. Here's a shot of Bella with her new friend, Minnie. @<%image(20110315-bella-minnie.jpg|360|450|bella and="" minnie=""> Happy Birthday Bella! And much love from all the Tiki Lounge staff! @<%image(20090828-mapababy.jpg|150|100|she was="" so="" tiny="" before=""> P.S.: I'm really going to make an effort to post more pictures soon! I promise. Really. I do.

The Tiki Lounge wishes you a healthy and prosperous 2011.

Dr. Scobrainiac of the Scobobby Institute for Questionable Knowledge predicts another great year!

In a recent interview Dr. Scobrainiac stated "I have precisely aligned the crystals so that the Tiki Lounge will be the epicenter of much happiness and joy! I believe it will also continue to have a positive effect on the economy. And again, sorry about 2007, I must have bumped the table or something."

We already know it will be a wonderful year!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Scobobby's Tiki Lounge!!!



Ho! Ho! Ho!

The Tiki Lounge staff wish you all the best for a long happy life together!

It's almost time for the Tiki Lounge to close for the winter but we still have a few warm days now and then. D and I took advantage of today's weather to ride up to the Lick Observatory on Mount Hamilton.

The view was great but it was very windy when we got to the top. I moved the bikes in front of the building cause I was worried they would blow over!


It was also cold. Here's D being cold.


Here's me being cold.


Did I mention it was freakin cold!


It was a fun ride but we didn't stay long. Went back down where it was warm!

Happy Halloween from all of us at the Tiki Lounge!


Ash and Kenz dressed as Texas Ranger fans (obviously before the final score!)


Bella wore her Bunny suit.

OK, so it's been a while and I really haven't been keeping up on the blog since Bella was born. Anyway, here's what we've been up to since her birthday.

We celebrated Bella's birthday with everyone on March 20. The Tiki Lounge threw Bella a great bash, she even had her own cake!


The sugar quickly took effect.


We went on a visit to the Oakland Zoo. Bella was still a little too young for the petting zoo area.


D's license was up for renewal so she decided to get a motorcycle license as well. She took the MSF course and it rained on the day of her test but eventually she passed.



Her first bike was a Yamaha V-Star and she learned to handle it pretty quickly.


Before we knew it, she was upgrading to a Harley.


Oh, by the way, I got one too!


Bella had her first visit to an amusement park and went on her first rides.


She loved it, she only cried when they stopped!


Dad came to visit and we went to the Carmel Mission


and on the Niles Canyon train.


We took Bella to the aquarium and she loved it! We could barely tear her away from the glass.


We made our annual pilgrimage to Hawaii around July 4th! The surf is pretty calm in summertime.


Over Labor Day weekend we went to Yosemite, Mono Lake and Bodie!


Finally, we went on our longest bike trip so far to Street Vibrations in Reno.


It's been a busy year here at the Tiki Lounge. I'll post more pictures in the gallery when I get a chance.

Can't believe she's 15 already!



Stay tuned - I'll be back soon with our "What we did over summer vacation!" post.

TTFN

Happy New Year from all of us at Scobobby's Tiki Lounge!!!


Peace, Love and Happiness!

Here's a special message from Isabella Ha'ani...


Peace, Love and Happiness!

Don't tell anyone... It's my birthday!


No telling!

I've been told I am supposed to make more frequent entries to keep people up to date. Seems like summer just ended and now September is already gone too. Some time in August Bella started to laugh and giggle for real. Check out this video:

?

Over Labor Day weekend we went on another road trip. This time we went to Old Town Sacramento, Mount Shasta and Crater Lake.

Asheley turned 14 in September. We had a small gathering to celebrate the occasion.

Asheley went to her first high school dance. I took pictures in the photobooth and tried to keep an eye on Asheley. It was better than any dance my high school ever had!

And Bella just keeps getting cuter!

Well, I think so anyway.

That's it for now!

Well, summer is over and a lot has happened since Bella returned from space and Denise's birthday so this is going to be a long post.

On May 17th we had Bella's christening. In retrospect, we probably should have had her baptised before sending her into space but NASA seemed to be in a big hurry.


Anyway, there were lots of people at the party and a good time was had by all.


Thanks to everyone who came and helped make the party a success.

We had a jumper for the kids at the christening. Turns out Hello Kitty had some surprises for us!


On May 23rd we went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with Papa, Nonnie and Alyssa. We had fun on the rides.


At the end of May, Rochelle and Elyssa came to visit. We went to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk again (you just can't go too many times!).

Rochelle said this was the first time Elyssa went on a ride by herself.

She looks like what we might call an "aggressive driver"!

We went shopping in San Francisco.


The girls went to Great America.


And we went bowling at Strike with Rochelle, Elyssa, Rick, Lea and Tehani.


Dudes got issues! Of course, he kicked all our asses in bowling.


In June, Bella started rolling over on her own.


Dad came to visit for a week. We took him to Napa and Half Moon Bay but mostly we just hung out.

Here we are at Rodney Strong vineyards.


Family resemblance?


The girls at Chateau St. Jean


On June 11th, Asheley graduated from CMS.

Congratulations Ash! We're so proud of you!

During the visits by Rochelle and Elyssa and Dad, we rented a minivan. We liked it so much we bought one.


In July, we took the minivan on a road trips to Big Sur...


and Mount Diablo.


We went north to see the giant redwoods with Uncle Frank, Auntie Debbie and Tehani...


and drove the new minivan through a tree.


In August, we went to Hakone Gardens and were underimpressed.


Nonnie took us to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk again (Thanks Nonnie!) and even Bella had fun!!

Really, she's having fun.

Bella started eating baby food.


And Asheley started high school.


That's it for now. We should have some new pictures in the gallery soon.

Yesterday the Tiki Lounge celebrated Denise's Birthday!


We had lunch at Cascal and a cake from Satura.


Later, we had fun at Dave and Busters.


Yes, that is Bella strapped to Scobobby's chest!

After a successful spacewalk, Bella's return to Earth, originally scheduled for Saturday, was delayed due to weather. In this exclusive video, Mission Control provides weather and telemetry updates while Bella floats in zero-G and prepares the capsule for re-entry.



Bella says she is looking forward to coming home although she will miss the Zero-G diapers.

Check back for updates on Bella's return to Earth!

Isabella takes her first steps.... ON THE MOON!

In the first US moon landing since Apollo 17 in 1972, Isabella became the youngest astronaut to walk on the moon.



NASA scientists attribute this amazing feat to her intensive Space-Babies training and the Moon's gravity being one-sixth that of the Earth.

Isabella spent roughly 2 hours on the surface before returning to the Lunar Module for her 4 o'clock feeding. Her only apparent discomfort during the moon walk was due to the fact that she forgot to place her binki inside her helmet before sealing it.

Isabella is expected to return to Earth this weekend but not before becoming the youngest astronaut to perform an untethered spacewalk.

Stay tuned!

The Tiki Lounge congratulates Asheley on her First Communion and Confirmation.



Asheley made her Profession of Faith and received Communion for the first time during the Easter Vigil mass on Saturday night.

Thanks to all those who supported Asheley in body and spirit!

Amen!

Exclusive NASA video of the start of Bella's first mission.



According to NASA engineers, a previously moth-balled Apollo rocket was used for this mission since there was only one astronaut aboard. Undisclosed sources indicate that the economy and budgetary constraints may have also played a role. Bella's parents main concern was that in the future Bella may only be able to fall asleep while strapped into an Apollo size rocket. The space shuttle would never do!

More to come!

Esta Later!

That?s right. Recent spy photos of Bella indicate she has enrolled in NASA?s top secret ?Space Babies? program. NASA is hugely selective about who it sends in to space and Bella?s parents are proud she has been invited to participate. The Tiki Lounge Staff fully support her aspirations to become the youngest astronaut in the history of space travel.



Since the Mercury Seven were selected in 1959, over 41,000 people have applied to become an astronaut, yet only 321 have been chosen. Luckily for Bella, the training program has changed a lot over fifty years. No longer is it a prerequisite that you are a male aged 25-40, less than 5?11? tall, college educated, and a USAF test pilot with three years experience. Today women are also able to apply and civilians including teachers, scientists and even newborn babies line up alongside military-trained applicants.

The following photos show Bella in what are obviously various training and test regimens leading up to a mission.


Babies are used to receiving food in a space-friendly containers!


Strapped in for lift-off!


Looking through a porthole.

The use of centrifuges has long since been abandoned with the advance of materials science. Highly adapted space suits have reduced the g-force side effects of vomiting, fainting and dirty diapers that accompanied launch and re-entry training.

Although we have been unable to contact NASA to confirm Bella has been selected for the program, via a confidential source we were able to obtain an advance copy of Bella?s official NASA photo.

Unknowingly having chosen his favorite song, Tiki Warrior Asheley wowed the CMEA judge with her skill on the violin.



She was given the highest score, "Superior", by the Judge.



Way to go Ash!

Esta Later,

As you are probably aware Isabella Ha'ani arrived a few weeks early on March 15th. Weighing in at 5 lbs. 10 oz. and with a length of 17.75 inches, she is remarkably healthy for a premie.



Just two days later, Bella has been seen at an exclusive spa not far from the Tiki Lounge where she was working on her skin tone in a tanning booth. Scobobby.com has obtained the following exclusive photos.





More to come!

Esta later!

Happy Birthday Bella!

Well, it's been a while since I updated this. We've been busy getting ready for Isabella. At her last ultrasound at 32 weeks Bella was seen sporting a rather stylish Mohawk!



She proved she was in charge on Wednesday by breaking D's water at 33 weeks. Now we're stuck in the hospital till Bella decides it's time. Till then I posted the 3d utlrasound images in the gallery here: Bella

We'll keep you updated.

Esta later!

We had our 20-week ultrasound last week. According to the technician, her visualization of a "Big Mac" indicates the baby is a girl!

Here's a couple of shots of her relaxing during the ultrasound.





Apparently she likes to have her picture taken!

TTFN

And old pictures too! I finally got around to sorting through some of my pictures and, in honor of Tiki Warrior Asheley's undefeated volleyball season with the CMS Mustangs, I have added images from her last three years of playing volleyball. If you want to check them out, here are some quick links:

Volleyball - 2006

Well, we had our 3-month ultrasound. I had been worried cause I haven't been able to spend much time talking to the little one or playing music for him or her. Anyway, turns out the little one is entertaining him/herself. Who woulda thought?!



Esta Later!

After a terrible loss in the first game. The CMS Mustangs were able to rally and win the second and third games for an undefeated season and the championship.



Please join Scobobby's Tiki Lounge in congratulating Tiki Lounge Warrior Asheley and the entire CMS Mustangs Volleyball Team on their win.



Esta Later

The CMS Mustangs are undefeated and have made it to the final game of the championship.



Be sure to wish Tiki Lounge Warrior Asheley, also known as "The Hustler", and all the team good luck in the game tonight!

These exclusive images show beyond a doubt that there is a baby Scobobby on the way.


Many people aren't aware that baby Scobobbys are born wearing zorrie. This rare ultrasound image shows them in their early development.

Well, it's September and that can only mean two things. OK, it can mean a lot of things but I'm only talking about two here. It's back to school and it's time for volleyball. Tiki Lounge Warrior Asheley is doing her best to help the CMS Mustangs stay undefeated.

Check out Asheley in action.


The other girls aren't short, that's just how high she's jumping to make the shot.

Powerful but graceful as a ballerina!

Today the Tiki Lounge is celebrating the 13th Birthday of long-time staff member Asheley!!!



Appropriate festivities will ensue!!!


TTFN

It is with great regret that we have a second post mourning the loss of a family member. I met Tony along with his wife, Summer, when we were in Guam in March. I knew he was in the Navy but I was not aware he was being deployed to Afghanistan upon leaving Guam. I was shocked when Denise told me he had been killed when the vehicle he was in hit an improvised explosive device. I never served in the military but I have the utmost respect for those that do, especially in a time of war. For they all risk paying the ultimate price defending our feedom. Rest in peace Tony-Boy.


Condolences to the Carbullido family.

The Tiki Lounge mourns the death of our Mom. She passed on June 19 after a long illness and we miss her dearly.


As a realtor and an associate of the Tiki Lounge, Mom often helped to scout potential new locations.


Sometimes she had a vision we couldn't quite understand.


Other times, she was right on.


She loved to shop and often helped find new decor and uniforms for Tiki Lounge staff.


We miss her presence but she lives on in our hearts and memories.


Aloha Mom.

A big "Biba Kumplianos!" (Happy Birthday!) to Denise, cofounder of Scobobby's Tiki Lounge and President of D's Tiki Hut (a wholely owned subsidiary of Scobobby's Tiki Lounge a division of Scobobby Enterprises) from all the Tiki Lounge staff.

Massive celebrations are planned in her honor. Rumour has it that Tiki Lounge President and CEO, Scobobby, has even been practicing a special dance that he will perform for her along with the Tiki Lounge Dancers.

Check out the exclusive spy photo of one of his secret practice sessions.


Should be a spectacular evening!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!!

As for calling me "Uncle Bob".... Do I have a choice?

Let me tell a little story...

I remember at my sister's wedding there was this weird guy. He was from her husband's family (who are generally pretty normal people). It was just that the girls complained he danced a little too close for family. He was a bit odd to converse with too. He drank a little too much. He just kinda made you think "Hmmmmm."

We asked who he was and were told, "That's Uncle Bob! He's a little odd but doesn't every family have an Uncle Bob?"

So please don't make me the Uncle Bob of this family.

TTFN

Send us a picture of your very first nut!!!!

There's a new Pangelinan in town!



Elyssa Pangelinan was born on February 1, weighing in at 9lbs 8oz!

Show fight!

Members of a photography forum I participate in wanted find a way to collectively use the photographs that we were taking to help out a charity. The result is Shooting For A Cause: a set of four calendars using images donated by forum members. Five dollars from the sale of each calendar goes to help The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children?. (The rest of the money goes to CafePress to cover production costs.)

Anyway, long story short, one of my photographs (below) was chosen for the month of August in the Earth and Sky calendar.



Incidentally, for all you Chamorros out there, the Sunrise Sunset calendar features a Guam sunset for the month of August.

I want to reiterate that all proceeds from the calendars are donated to the charity. Neither the forum, its members, the Tiki Lounge nor any of its staff receive any payment for use of the images or sales of the calendars.

TTFN

The Tiki Lounge staff wish you all the best in the coming year and in starting your family.



Don't forget to stop by for your free plate lunch! We've got some Coconut Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts too!

Sorry, not our best work but my camera was in the shop and I forgot how to use Denise's. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Happy Birthday Uncle Frank!!!!

Hope you have a great day and a great year!!!!



All the best from the Tiki Lounge staff!

TTFN

OK, I admit it. I haven't been real good about adding new pictures to the gallery. I've been depressed because Scobobby's Tiki Lounge was closed all summer cause our landscaper couldn't get off his lazy ass and finish our patio. No one should ever hire this man... but that's another story.

I'm trying to do better and just to prove it, I added some pictures from our little gathering for Ash's birthday.

There. Good for another year! Just kidding, I'll try to add more soon (working in reverse chronological order, or not).

Hope you have a great day and a great year!!

Tiki Lounge founders Denise and Robert were married on April 28th in NYC.



It was far from the Tiki Lounge but still on an island. To see more pictures go to www.deniseandrobertswedding.com.

TTFN

Wondering about our wedding plans? Us too!

Originally we were planning to have the wedding on Oahu on July 4th. However all that has changed.

Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control, we have decided to move the date to April 28th (tentatively) and the venue to New York City.

This is all still evolving and we'll try to post the latest news on our wedding site:

DeniseandRobertswedding.com

Sincerest of apologies to anyone who had made plans for the Hawaii date but this was unforseeable and unavoidable.

During our trip to Oahu in November 2006, we had the honor of attending AJ's promotion to Sergeant. I recently uploaded our pictures to the photo gallery.

New Years Eve in Times Square!


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

If you happened to be in Times Square at around noon today you may have seen our picture displayed on Intel's "Multiply Yourself" screen.

Pretty cool eh?

The Tiki Lounge has been closed for the holiday season however the staff is hard at work keeping the galaxy safe from evildoers.

Upon return from vacation Denise was noted to be sporting a sparkly object on her left hand.


Through cutting edge image enhancement, we have confirmed she is wearing what appears to be an engagement ring.


When questioned regarding the rumors, the couple confirmed that they are indeed engaged.

Further details will follow as they become available.

Well, its October and that means Asheley-Fest 2006 is officially over. It was a busy month filled with steel drum music and parties.


We had parent meetings for both volleyball and the school play on Ash's birthday. Papa Wayne came by and we had a small celebration.


That weekend the Tiki Lounge hosted a sleepover party with Ash's friends. They played lasertag and moved to Dance Dance Revolution.


The following week the lounge hosted a party for family and friends. Chef Jay outdid himself. The menu included chicken kelaguen made with fresh coconut.


We also had beef kelaguen, red rice, fried chicken, BBQ spare ribs and more. There was plenty to eat and drink!



Everyone had a great time.


Even the kids.

"Happy Birthday Asheley!" from the entire Tiki Lounge staff.


Tonight the TIki Lounge Dancer's will do a special show in your honor.


Hope you have a great day!

We love you!

This week Chef Albert "Jay" Pangelinan taught us the secrets of making Chicken Estufao including how to chop the chicken without losing a finger.

It has become apparent that cooking Chamorro food requires the consumption of large quantities of Bud Light.

We use only the finest ingredients here at Scobobby's Tiki Lounge. Everyday our staff visits local farmers to buy fresh produce.

Denise looks over some locally grown fruit.

Are you local?

Asheley mans the guard house to keep out the riff-raff!

Bring your friends, we've got plenty of parking out back!

Try not to hog too many spaces with your pimped-out outrigger!

We've also added a video game parlor to the lounge with XBOX, PS2, and Gamecube.

Island style Halo anyone?

TTFN from the Scobobby Tiki Lounge Staff

Scoboby's Tiki Lounge is a little off the beaten path but we have plenty of bbq short ribs, red rice, kelaguen, Bud Light and island music. So it's worth the effort!



Albert (Denise's brother) is teaching me to cook Chammorro style. So far we've made chicken kelaguen, red rice, finne dene and short ribs (I still gotta learn how to make the marinade). The bad new is I forget half of it every week. The good news is Albert comes back and teaches me all over again.



Bye from the Scobobby's Tiki Lounge Staff

OK so I've been seriously remiss in updating any part of this site. But hey, nobody reads this anyway.

Anyway we've made some changes here at Scobobby's Tiki Lounge. We got rid of the smooth bamboo, it was just to slick looking. We've gone back to the rustic look!

We've also added some musical entertainment for island atmosphere. So turn those speakers up!!!



Everybody limbo!!!

Ya Mon!

The old blog was looking tired so here's the new look. Let me know what you think. And, yes, that is bamboo flooring in the background.
