About Me

... ... ... Hello!!! Aloha!!! What?!!!! ... My name is really Eric. Only Alana and Ron call me Erock. Well, you can too, if I like you. Welcome to my homepage! I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a new Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing, both from the University of Hawai`i. ... Currently, I'm a Registered Nurse at Kuakini Medical Center's Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Emergency Services department. I really enjoy being in an Emergency room setting because everyday is totally different. You never know what type of case will walk or wheel through the department doors... respiratory distress, tortuous chest pain, syncope, broken bones of all types, trauma, infectous diseases, assault, dead on arrival, code blue, narcotic seekers (duh? we know who you are, we're not STUPID), etc. Love hanging out with you fellow RN's and MD's ... Sara S., Lisa V., Ryon N., Laurice P., Lee F., Chad L. (not the paramedic), etc. ... Outside of the hospital setting, I am into fitness and hope to stay in the best shape possible for the rest of my life. Usually working out at 24-hour fitness, running around Manoa or Kahala, or swimming at my community pool. I have now added Taiko drumming and obon to my list of activites and I'm starting to get back into Tennis after a multi-year hiatis. ... Some facts about me... I brush my teeth at least twice a day, once when I get up and before I go to bed. I floss at least once a day (for sure before I turn in). I like to smell clean but I hardly use deodorants so I make sure I shower daily or sometimes more than that. I don't have any tatoos or piercings but if you want to search my body for any, I just might let you. If I could, I would walk around naked at home, but because I live with others, I don't. ... Currently, I have a small dog named Chuki whom I love to death, a few siamese fighting fish who are nameless, and a few swordtail fish who are also nameless. ... I was once in flight attendant school and considered serving drinks and food in the sky as well as pointing at the emergency exit doors with attitude, but I'm glad that I wound up being a registered nurse. I'll be making way more money and I won't have the reputation of being a sky matress. Ha Ha! ... Average Registered Nurse pay annually $68,872 (reference at money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bestjobs/snapshots/47.html) An example of annual pay for a flight attenant after 19 years at one of the major carriers $44,601 (ref. at cabincrewjobs.com/ salarycomparison.html ... GOOD CHOICE EROCK!!! ... ... ... ... Myspace has been acting wierd lately. If you absolutely need to get a hold of me, email me at [email protected]. ALOHA!

My Interests


In addition to lifting, I also run, bike, play tennis, and swim. I love to garden especially since it makes the yard look beautiful. I enjoy watching University of Hawai`i Men's and Women's volleyball either live or on television since I am their number one fan (hehe). The 2006 season for the men was awesome, but the final outcome sucked. Looking forward to the 2006 women's season already. I like to go to bon dances (Obon) and look forward to learning more about that part of my heritage. I enjoy the internet and have taken an intense 9 month networking class to better understand things like routers, IP configuration, Subnet Masks, DNS, etc. I also have a rather big DVD collection. It seems like I'm always on the go, but I slow down from time to time. ... I live in beautiful Manoa Valley and most of my family lives here on O`ahu but I do have some relatives in California and one of my two brothers lives in Phoenix. I don't know why I decided to make a homepage, but since many of my friends have one, I thought, what the heck! And also for those who care, I update this every so often and then you can see what is happening in my "ever so exciting life." Not! He he. Well, gotta go. See you at the pool, at a race, at work, at school or email me sometime!!! ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I miss Koko ... he passed away a few years ago so this is my virutal Koko

I'd like to meet:

Someone who has all the answers. And Kratos (see below). ... ... ... ... ... Below is my Top 24. These people are those who I actually know better than just a simple "Please add me, I want to be your friend." Of course, there are those off my Top 24 who I also know very well too. Believe me, you guys are just as imporant, but there are only 24 spaces so what am I to do? :o) PS... If anyone is to send a "friend" request to me, at least email me telling me who you are, how you know me, who told you about me, or where you found me? If you just send a request to be added, I'm most likely not going to add you (unless I know who you are already). Even if you email me, and I find no reason to add you ... oh well.
