there’s a social media website in Hawaii that posts the stupid things people do here in paradise. i check it once in a while just to make sure none of my friends are on it. haha. look at these 2 ladies stealing mangos! they drive around in their Mercedes Benz and go stealing mangos from peoples yards. hey ladies, if you can afford to drive a Mercedes, you can afford to buy mangos. shame on you! 
woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise. so happy to see Naoka on Ishigaki Island with Kara-san and Miwa-san! so happy to see all you guys!!!
when one of my friends told me about their dream 2 years ago, it seemed like yesterday. from that day on, watching the hard work and effort that went into making that dream come true, it was like watching a rollercoaster ride. blood, sweat, and tears along the way, but it was all worth it. i am a very proud of that special friend so we celebrated with a tequila shot. keep dreaming big because dreams do come true! 
heard a rumor about a new milk tea shop. so we went to investigate and nobody knows better about sweets than Toda-san…
black sugar milk tea with black sugar boba. waiting in line and finally getting it took over 30 minutes. well worth the wait.
Hana Tea, freshness in Hawaii…
Mateus is freaking READY! this kid got his new dirt bike and was waiting by the garage ready to try it. remember, this is a 5 year old kid trying to ride a bike made for a 13 year old kid…
we went to the park today and look at Mateus go! it was his very first time and he rode it perfectly! i was filming it laughing the whole way. it was the cutest thing i’ve ever seen!!!
