Hello ！
I recently attended the Central Union school tour and asked a lot of questions, so I thought I would share
with those who will APPLY this year.
Last year, they were able to send out accept notices to everyone in July for the 3 year old class that started in August this year. For the past 3 years, even if everyone who applied did not make it to the 1st round, they were able to get an acceptance notice as long as they were in the wait pool. In other words, it seems that even if the acceptance notifications are sent out in order, they are being passed on to other schools. In my opinion, the school grounds are very SAFE and bright.
However, I felt that the school's educational policy, assignments, academics, and the number and content of field trips were not as good as the other three schools I attended. I felt that this is why students tend to go to other schools.

I will share the good news with those who are considering this school, as I was told that they have all received acceptance letters for the past three years ！.

Nice to meet you ！ I am anxious to take the Kinder exam because all the schools are too difficult. I have a question for those who have taken the Hana Hau'oli School. I heard that the interview is not only for the children but also for the parents and that it is like an activity.

Hi ！ My daughter who will be 3 next month
received an acceptance letter from Central Union last month. Eight children from the same area took the test and all eight, including our child, received First round acceptance letters.
The school said that the year before last and last year they were able to notify everyone who was eventually put on the waitlist by July, so maybe that had an impact. lol
Central Union is my 4th choice and a slip up.

I paid the enrollment fee because I got an acceptance letter from Central Union, which I took as a stopgap.
My second choice is Montessori Community School
My third choice is Midpac.
I am waiting for the results of Midpac and Montessori Community.

My first choice St. Clements fell through and is now waitlist.
So my question is, if I put St. Clements on my waitlist, is there a good chance that I will get an acceptance letter if I waitlist?

please let me know if anyone knows ！ thank you

Wind, my child also received a Central Union acceptance letter
on the first day, and 3 other children from the same daycare also received acceptance letters ！
I am sure they are anticipating a situation where many children are turning down the offer, so I am sure they will be giving out many acceptances from the beginning this year to earn their enrollment fees. ？

We didn't get into St. Clements either. Same waitlist.
I also applied to Queen Emma, Montessori Community School, and Unity School, but they haven't announced their acceptance yet ！ Most of them are in March

Central Union, I haven't heard from anyone who applied this year who hasn't received an acceptance letter ！
St. Clements is not easy to get on the waitlist … we have to wait and see ！

Hello.
This is a little different from the topic, but my child took the Punahou kinder from Hongwanji Mission School and is now attending Omidyar. Read on if you are interested.

Classmates are from Central Union, St. Clements, Angel, Unity, a few from Early School, Paris, Seagull, Star, St. Patrick, Midpac, Japanese kindergarten, and many other preschools. One was a waitlist and continues to attend Hongwanji. We only took the Punahou test, so we have not heard from others whether they were accepted or not at Iolani. ）

If you are choosing a preschool with a view to taking the Kinder test, I don't think they will take a large number of students from one school, so you should not be concerned about the competition （ which seems to be very high ） and not just from famous preschools. I think it would be a good idea to choose a school that is easy for your child to attend, even if it is a school where not many people take the Kinder test. （ Unfortunately, our child did not fit the academic school culture of Hongwanji, so we applied to Punahou, and now she seems to be enjoying every day. Hongwanji had Japanese classes two days a week and swimming in PE, which was nice. As for the details of Punahou's Kinder exam, I asked my child what she did after the individual interview, and she said that she chatted with the interviewer, did shapes and puzzle problems on her ipad, and drew her face in pencil on white paper, just FYI. The group interview was online, but the interviewer read a book and asked questions about the contents and thoughts, and they sang a song together.

This is a long story, but I hope it will be useful for those who are going to take the Kinder exam in Punahou.

The retest result was negative ！
I was very anxious until I got the results, wondering how such an error could have been made.
However, it was a learning experience for me to know about the lead problem. I don't know where they got my number, but I also got a call from the lead program. Popcorn ceilings are bad for you too. I would never touch the ceiling and I feel like it's not good for my skin, even if it's something normal. But if it's normal, I don't think it's enough to affect the baby.

You can decide the amount and pay it yourself.
If possible, we recommend that you divide your 2023 tax amount into four installments and pay them in four installments. If you have paid at least 100% of the previous year's tax amount on a scheduled basis, you will not be penalized even if your 2024 tax amount is higher.

I understand that I do not have to inform the Tax Office in advance of the amount of Estimated Tax due, but I can decide and pay it myself.
Thank you very much.

Dear Hawaii Cat Aaru

I have been there. Thank you.
I see that they also do alterations. I will consult with them
as I'm sure they have their own costs.

If you are paid in venmo, you can keep the money in your venmo wallet without transferring it to the bank, and you can then venmo the money to your friends, payers, etc. If you are paid and do not transfer the money to the bank, the venmo money will increase. If you are paid and do not transfer the money to the bank, the venmo money will increase as it is.

Order a Venmo Debit Card.

There is no fee for Venmo to Venmo transactions.

Since it's a Debit Card, you can use it in stores and other places
as usual.

I live in Hawaii. It seems that the used car rate is increasing due to the rising prices. I just appraised my car to try and find a Japanese sedan older than 2014 with low mileage and anti-theft protection.
It was $2000 more than when I appraised it a few years ago ！
There is $8000 even before 2015.

A little older, but a non-Nissan Japanese car will seldom break down.
I wish you the best of luck.

Benefits For Your Spouse

As you say, if you were married for more than 10 years, you are entitled to half of your ex-husband's pension amount. It should not matter whether you were working or not. See the article "Post-Divorce Security" below.
https://happymoneyusa.com/all-about-social-security/
The conditions are
1 ． You must be at least 62 years old and single.
2 ． If you apply for benefits before the age of full benefits, they are reduced by that amount.
Therefore, we recommend that you visit the SS Office, explain your divorce situation, obtain the necessary application documents and other information, and begin the process.

My American husband and I divorced after 10 years ± and I received half of his pension at age 66 and switched to my own pension at age 70 because I was working myself. That way I get 25% more. No matter how many times the ex-husbands get married, if they are married for more than 10 years, each
ex-wife receives half of the pension. I recommend you to search Yu tubu on US pensions to get more information.

Good evening.
I suddenly got boils on my legs and I showed my home doctor
a picture of them and he said they were bed bugs.
I was really surprised because it was my first time and I got rid of the bed bug and
it went away immediately with steroid ointment.

It looked like a pimple and it happened so suddenly
I thought maybe it was the same thing.

I searched around and found that they are often found in beds in both Japan and the US, so
be careful.

Thanks for your reply.
Is it a bed bug ！ I hadn't thought of that idea. I have an image that bedbugs tend to bite soft parts of the body and if they bite you, they itch enough to scratch you, but I don't itch and I don't see any bite marks on my body. By the way, I also looked at the bed, but could not find any bugs. However, I thought I would try applying the steroid ointment I have once. Thank you for sharing your precious experience.

When I was in my late twenties, I started to get acne around my chin due to hormonal imbalance. （ At that time I was living in Japan and had irregular menstruation and visited a Japanese doctor. ） A hormone test showed a high male hormone level, and the doctor explained to me that when a woman's male hormone level increases, the amount of sebum increases in areas where men grow beards, such as around the chin and mouth, making it easier for acne to appear. After that, I tried various skin care products, but they had no effect at all. When I started taking pills, my acne completely disappeared. I have heard that the pill is not recommended for people in their 40s because the risk of blood clots increases, so I am not sure if the pill would be a good solution for you, sakura. However, since you seem to think that the acne is caused by hormones, I think it would be better to see a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I wish you a speedy recovery.

Thank you for your reply. And thank you for your kind words. It sounds like it would be a good idea to have my hormone levels checked once by a gynecologist instead of a dermatologist. I have many ideas, so I will see a gynecologist. Thank you for sharing your valuable experience.
