it’s been a long time since i seen a beautiful sunrise so when i drove down my street early this morning, i knew it was going to be a nice day…

hey, take a look at this? haven’t seen this in a while yeah? blue skies…. gosh, the sun felt so good!!!

i went surfing with shin-san today. we surfed this little peak out at ala moana park. there were only 2 other guys out, then after they went in, it was only us. had some fun in the sun. i wanted to say thanks to shin-san and his wife for all the presents from japan… arigato gozaimasu…

my brothers friend sent over some treats from the big island. and now their all gone. it was so good!!!

and last, i’ve been so busy recently that i couldn’t even get a christmas tree. so this afternoon i went looking and looking, and looking. couldn’t find a real one so had to settle for this one. when christmas is over, i’m going to plant it in my yard and use it every year. i think this is the best christmas tree i’ve ever bought. think green and recycle….

good monday morning. 6:15am and it’s pretty chilly… see some 2′ surf on the north shore, 1′ in town. clean conditions everywhere. BOX JELLYFISH WARNING. they picked up over 1,300 box jellyfish yesterday in waikiki and 170 people got stung. and get this, i went to surf waikiki yesterday afternoon and didn’t even see the signs. gosh, i’m glad i i didn’t get stung because those hurt. their expecting more today so be careful. anyway, i’m throwing my 5’10 bullet in my car and going surfing. maybe lighthouse again? like we say in japanese “itekimasu”. translated into english “i’m out of here”… have a nice day….

what is “ALOHA STREET NATURE PROJECT?” ALOHA STREET NATURE PROJECT is a charity program that is dedicated to promoting awareness and appreciation of hawaii’s natural environment. it all started by an email to aloha street from a japanese reader who was asking if there were any volunteer programs in hawaii that she could participate in. 3 years later, the nature project is successfully up and running. an awesome project with awesome people behind it…
