good evening. wow! how’s the crazy news in america recently? i don’t like or don’t want to watch tv but this week, i used my tv more than i did in the past 3 years. 3 nights ago, i was watching an episode of Hawaii Five-O. it was about a guy who chained a young girl in his basement of his house for 10 years. it was pretty heavy. then right after that, i turned the channel to CNN and there was breaking news about a girl who escaped from a man’s house after being chained up for 10 years!! what??? it was surreal. i just couldn’t believe it than, and i still can’t believe it now.

these 3 poor girls were kidnapped and held hostage for 10 years. you must know the details by now so i’ll stop now. it is just too sick to bring up again.

this sick man doesn’t deserve to live. and the crazy thing is our court system judge set his bail at $8M. that means if somebody lends him $8M, he can get out of jail? OMG! this is such a sick world that i really wouldn’t be surprised if somebody posted bail for him. that’s crazy!

and this girl was found guilty for murdering her boyfriend. right after she got the guilty verdict, she did a 45 minute interview with a journalist. what the heck is wrong with america??? if i kill somebody, and be found guilty, i can go on tv and do an interview? that’s unbelievable.
i better go now because i want to watch more tv. have a wonderful evening.

Today’s lunch: Sari Sari
So good!!!!

this is recently in bali. i’ve been to bali about 30 times and rode these low-cost airplanes more times i can count. airplanes are made to fly, but realistically, they do crash sometimes. the thing i don’t like is i’m not driving so i’m not in control of the situation. but once it crashes, i’m in control of my own destiny. i know i won’t panic because free diving taught me not to panic in any situation. if my plane is crashing, i will tighten my seat belt, hold on tight, and close my eyes. once i wake up and if i’m still alive, i will go into survival mode. i already know where the closest emergency exit is because i always check before take off. i will open the door, and throw people off. then i will jump off and run for my life. then i will get the next flight back to hawaii, probably the same low-cost airline company. haha.
i always stress to enjoy every minute of your life as it’s your last. we live in a world where your life could end in a second. some things you can control, some things you can’t. airplanes, you can’t control. 20 years ago, i would tell myself “i would never ride in Lion airlines again!” i use to say the same thing when China Airlines crashed, and Garuda Airlines crashed. but i still ride those airlines and will continue doing so. you can’t run, or you can’t hide from things you can’t control, so my advise is to just go with the flow and enjoy every single minute of your life. and if you can do that, i won’t feel sorry for you if your airplane crashes because i will know you went down a happy person. and if i go down in an airplane, just wanted to say “it was nice knowing you all! and keep on surfing!”
