r/Honolulu

I need your help finding someone: Drevan living in Honolulu. He's a student at the University of Hawaii. I think he's studying engineering. I think he's the oldest sibling in his pretty large family. And it's his birthday tomorrow.

I met Drevan exactly one year ago tomorrow. He was sitting alone at a table next to mine at the Cheesecake Factory when my husband and I struck up a conversation.

We discovered it was his birthday, and that he was living away from his family. It was May 6, 2025. He was the coolest kid, and the first one in his family to go to college, and I wanted him to know that he made an impact on me and my husband and that we are wondering how everything's going.

I marked his birthday on my calendar and would love to wish him a happy birthday again this year.

Can you guys help me find Drevan in Honolulu before tomorrow? I'd love to find this young man.

Happy Birthday, Drevan!!! If I can find you, your cheesecake is on me!

Aloha all,

Earlier this week I was walking in Kaimukī near Waialae and a dog got out of a yard and bit my calf. was on a visit to my aunt for some days. It wasn’t some crazy attack, but it did break skin. I ended up going to urgent care for antibiotics and a tetanus shot just to be safe.

The owner came out right away and apologized. Said the gate didn’t latch properly and that the dog has never done anything like that before. I’m not trying to blow this up into something huge, but now I’ve got medical bills and I don’t know how this works here.

Is this something that usually goes through homeowners insurance in Hawaii?

We started throwing food scraps in the green cart back in April and honestly our bins are kinda nasty now between pickups. Like noticeably worse than before.
Curious if anyone else is dealing with this or if it’s just us lol
Also random question — would you ever pay someone to come wash out your bins? Like a service that shows up after the trash truck and cleans everything out. Seen it a lot on the mainland but idk if it’s a thing here.
Genuinely just wondering if people would bother or if everyone just hoses it down themselves.
