wow! today was another beautiful day! my daily drive down the hill heading to the beach. i just love this view.

and yes, it’s summer all year round in hawaii! blue sky all day long!

had an awesome day with Misumi-san. surfed, surfed, and surfed.

also had to digest our loco moco so we went to check out my high school hangout.

school is over so the kids are out in full summer fun!

watching this reminds me of my younger days. this is hawaii, this is what kids do for fun. playing with nature, not with digital games.

Misumi-san ran into kahala mall to use the bathroom. he came out with a cool refreshing drink from Stir it Up. OMG, it was so good! my first time and definitely not my last time.

drove through a neighborhood where you won’t find a house under $2M. for the past 35 years of my life, it was always a dream to live here. but 35 years ago, the average price was only $400,000. now it’s 5 times. not a dream anymore because it’s out of my league.

took Misumi-san to some of my secret spots. you won’t find a single tourist here.

and omg, another airplane disappeared. how can a plane disappear???? that’s crazy!

found this photo on my desktop. makes me want to free dive!

and found this one too. makes me want to surf!

and this one too. makes me want to jump!

and this one too. makes me want to go back to the past! Kelia, Isaiah, Temari, and Micah. my lovely nieces and nephews. i just love them.

and this one too. makes me want to get barreled!

and this one too. makes me want to cutback.
