My friend Justin attends a photography college in California. He and his classmates finished their final projects and are showcasing them at the end of the year.

Hawaiian Wedding Reception

Today, I went to a wedding of one of my coworkers. She had hula performed at the reception, so I decided to show some clips. Enjoy!

Peanut Butter Fiasco!

2006-10-13T02:00:00.000-07:00

Watch the video

Yep, I'm back! Well, I haven't had too much time to really do any vlogging, but I had a chance to create an iMovie for a class I am taking right now. Our assignment was to create a movie on how to make a peanut butter jelly sandwich. So, my group and I decided to make an (attempt at least) movie on how you could make a peanut butter jelly sandwich - 1920s style. At the end, you'll notice Dusty saying something in sign language. He's fluent in sign. I would've translated it, but I have no idea on how to read sign. Do you know what he's saying? (Don't worry, Adam gets his sandwich in the end)

Ok, I need help

2006-09-16T14:52:00.000-07:00

I created an online survey on educators who videoblog. You can also view it on my other blog at

http://videoblogdissertation.blogspot.com/

The survey is located on their too and if you're an educator, please take it! I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again to everyone for their patience with this vlog! As you know my dissertation has been taking up most of my time :-p

Temporary Hiatus

2006-08-28T15:55:00.000-07:00

Well, as all of you probably know, I have not been posting video for awhile. I'm really sorry about this. I started the doctorate program at the University I am attending and it has been C-R-A-Z-Y. I am enjoying it, but it has severly put a temporary stop to my vlogging big time!

I plan to put up videos soon. AND no need to fear, I thinking of focusing my actual dissertation on "vlogging." LOL, crazy me! I'll try to put up new video ASAP.

Thanks for your patience. Love you, Becca~!

Saying Goodbye!

Watch the video

Two friends of ours spent their last day in Hawaii with us (one is off to the mainland, the other is going to Iraq). So, we did the only thing that we knew we could do for them before they left ...make them participate in a completely embarassing scavenger hunt and put it on film. LOL, it wasn't THAT embarassing, but fun nonetheless. We'll miss you!!! Music: I'll Be There for You by the Rembrants. Special mention to Juvy at http://effinfatpigeon.blogspot.com/ who did editing for this video as well :)

Vloggercon 2006!

Watch the video

I know. I know. A month late. I have no excuse. BUT I thank you for still keeping up with this vlog! Here's my visit to Vloggercon 2006 last month. It's a short video of the convention that celebrates and explores the world of vlogging.

Planning to post soon

2006-07-14T06:44:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, I know I have been behind in my postings. I have been traveling every which way and that around the world. I am actually in Japan right now writing from an Internet cafe. However, I have plenty of footage of Japan so I will share that with you as soon as I return home on Sat. and edit it.

Thanks for your patience and keep watching.

With love and aloha,
Becca :)

The Wild Cat!

Watch the video

I was planning on posting my vids of vloggercon, but I have tons of editing to do, so I decided to share my vid of my ride on the Wild Cat, a small, but fun rollercoaster featured at the 50th State Fair. Enjoy! I plan to post my vloggercon video by next week.

My Trip to American Samoa

Greetings everyone! I'm back from a month long absence from vlogging. I've been preparing for my American Samoa trip with my college classmates and last week I actually went. I had a lot of fun, but now I'm planning to get back into vlogging once again. Hope you enjoy my brief vlog. Next week, Vloggercon!

My Trip to American Samoa

What's in your kitchen?

Watch the video

Ever wonder what's in your fellow vlogger's kitchen? Here's your chance to find out. Well, at least what's in my kitchen. I may look a little tired in this video because I've been working a lot lately, but it all ends tomorrow. Yah!

Videoblogging Survey

2006-05-03T10:54:00.000-07:00

My Advisor

Watch the video

I really hesitated about posting this, but I felt I needed to. After Ms. B's brave post a few months ago, I felt better about expressing myself this way. This vlog is a bit long (about 4 min.) because I didn't want to relive what I said and edit it, so it's here unedited.

2006-04-18T02:41:00.000-07:00

Kawaii Kon 2006

Watch the video

This weekend, I went to Kawaii Kon, an anime (Japanese animation) convention here in Honolulu, HI at the Ala Moana hotel. This was my first time at a convention. Met a lot of new people and saw a lot of neat costumes. Do you know which one I am?

Just a side note: This video is a bit long (around 4 minutes), but I think well worth the watch :-)

2006-04-08T21:21:00.000-07:00

Going to Vloggercon!

Watch the video

Well, after a disappointing week without my Mac, I finally have it back. And I have some good news! ...and it's NOT that I saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico.

Computer Crashed

2006-03-27T00:06:00.000-08:00

I had just finished creating my latest video, when all of the sudden ...my computer crashed. Right now, I'm borrowing my father's PC, but the whole edited video was in my Mac and it crashed. So, sorry, no vlogs until I get it fixed. :-(

My Visit to Haliewa

Watch the video

Last week, I decided to go with my father to Haliewa Town on the North Shore of Oahu since I haven't been there in awhile. While he was taking care of a job for his work, I went around and filmed.

2006-03-10T02:35:00.000-08:00

Sad day at the tank...

Watch the video

Today one of my favorite fish, Flippy, died today. RIP Flippy.

The sad part about this video was when I originally attempted to toss Flippy into the toliet, he accidentally flung out of the net onto the side of the toliet. I edited that part out, but that's what I get for trying to film myself flushing my fish down the toliet :-/

2006-03-05T02:50:00.000-08:00

A Day at Work

Watch the video

This is a typical day at work for me. Well, what I did over a three day period, but you get the idea. Enjoy!

Rain, rain, rain, and more rain

2006-02-26T11:14:00.000-08:00

Watch the Video

Hey, everyone. I know I promised you sunny scenes of Hawaii for this vlog, but you'll see what happens. Next week, I'll show you where I work!

I just switched from Ourmedia to blipTV, so if it may be a bit buggy, my apologies. I'm still figuring out how to use it.

I'm FREE!

2006-02-19T01:37:00.000-08:00

I planned to put this up last week, but ...you'll see in the video. I promise more Hawaii shots next week, and a lot better video. And I'm planning to fix my iPod links on this page. Thanks for visiting!!!

Aloha,
Becky

Update: Okay, just fixed the iTunes buttons AGAIN! This time still click the orange and blue buttons, not the purple one I had before. These are same videos, but they are more iTunes/iPod video friendly, and they are on a different feed. After that, delete the old subscription "Becca's Vlogs" in the Podcasts section of your iTunes. If you need any help with this feel free to email me.

Ever wonder why I'm busy right now...

2006-02-06T04:39:00.000-08:00

Well, I've been working on my instructional design project. It's basically an online instructional module about plagiarism and copyright. I decided to parlay my videoblogging skills to this project and show the students I am testing video instead of just plain texts. Here's one of the videos I created. It's a bit long, but it's what I am doing right now.

Much apologies for not commenting on other vlogs and blogs. I promise after this busy week is over, I'll catch up. :-p

Busy! Busy! Busy!

2006-01-29T19:10:00.000-08:00

I've been so busy lately. You'll see what I mean after watching the video. Also, I realize that I write funny. Agh, that's what I get for being left-handed.

More food!

2006-01-19T23:09:00.000-08:00

The day after I went to Mitsuken, I went with a few friends to Big City Diner in Waipio. Big City Diner serves your regular burgers and fries, but also features local foods such as kim chee fried rice and soybeans.

This is just a short video. I've been so busy with all my work, it's crazy! For those of you whose vlogs I usually comment on, I'll get to it ASAP! I'm sorry for not commenting recently :-(

Breakfast Time!

2006-01-17T01:32:00.000-08:00

Mitsu-Ken Okazu and Catering is a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant in Kalihi, famous for its garlic chicken and local food. However, it was breakfast time, and I was hankerin' for some breakfast before I headed up to an education conference at Kamehameha Schools. I ended up getting the Breakfast Special with a Hawaiian Sun Lilikoi Passion drink. Hmm... where did my coworkers go?

FYI, Okazu means "a type of meal/dish" in Japanese. Lilikoi is a type of fruit found in Hawaii.

New Year's in Hawaii

2006-01-08T14:18:00.000-08:00

I have one word for you ...fire!

Two for the price of one...

2006-01-01T22:27:00.000-08:00

Well, at least two very brief unedited videos. I have tons of New Years Eve footage, but haven't edited it yet, so that will definitely appear sometime this week on the vlog. For now, enjoy my brief video from Santa Barbara, CA, where I was visiting my grandmother. Her house is in the background.

AND my Thanksgiving trip last November to Disneyland.

I know. I know. These are something you would see at a relative's house that you would fall asleep at, BUT they're very short, so it's like that but condensed. :-/

My Christmas Performance

2005-12-21T23:50:00.000-08:00

Okay, I'm a bit lazy. I didn't really videoblog anything substantial, BUT I did perform in my church's Christmas program. Guess which one I am in this group. I dare ya. Haha.

P.S. - If you want a postcard from Hawaii, go ahead and email me your mailing address to beccavlog@gmail.com. It'll be my Christmas gift to you!

Hawaii

2005-12-16T07:00:00.000-08:00

This Guy Actually Answered my Question

2005-12-06T10:53:00.001-08:00

Well, I submitted a question via email to the Vlog Santa out there in Minnesota after viewing an article about him at We Are the Media, and he actually answered my question! I didn't think he would. Go ahead and watch the video. Warning though, this Santa's not your typical Santa. He's a bit crude, but fun!

Just follow the instructions for the "challenge" in the following vlog. If you want to participate in similar challenges such as these you can sign up at The Vlog Games which I highly encourage you to join.

Chinese Concert

2005-11-11T00:43:00.000-08:00

Went to a Chinese concert! Awesome band! Take a look!

Oh, and for the record, this was taken with my digital "camera," not camcorder, so I didn't break any rules ...I think.

Halloween in Waikiki

2005-11-04T13:28:00.000-08:00

Click here for video

Waikiki on Halloween is crazy. It's like the Mardi Gra of Hawaii. This video is a montage of my favorite costumes that I saw that night. It's a bit dark because I was filming at night, so if you have a hard time viewing the video, try turning up your screen's brightness. Also, if you don't have Quicktime 7 or cannot see the video altogether, you can view the video here. Enjoy!

My Leaves from Canada

2005-10-28T21:54:00.000-07:00

Recently, I asked a fellow vlogger, Michael Tyas, from Canada to mail me a leaf after he featured it in one of his vlogs.

The video above is when I actually opened the envelope after receiving it in the mail.

Note: I had to blur the address of the envelope out, but other than that, the video looks great!

UH Game ... Yah!!!

2005-10-02T20:13:00.000-07:00

My time tailgating at UH. All footage outside was taken with my camcorder, footage inside the stadium with my regular digital camera. So, I didn't break any rules. K, bye.

*Note: This vlog takes awhile to open. The best option is to right click the picture and open the video in a new window.

Nice to Meet You

2005-09-18T21:14:00.000-07:00
