super happy to surf with Kanda-san today! it’s been a year and he’s been practicing back in Japan. and it showed today as he was surfing flawlessly…
gosh, i had a great time following close behind and watching the amazing rides!
perfect surfing Kanda-san! and good to see you again!
then picked up Megumi-san and went to Chinatown. it was their first time and i think they were totally culture shocked! haha. this place isn’t for everyone because it’s dangerous, scary, and the service is pretty bad. seems like you’re in another country… 
then went to pick up Ishikawa-san who was fresh off the airplane. we had a blast this afternoon! 
i was watching Seth’s heat last night and totally heart broken to see him lose. i’m sure Borack and Rainos felt the same way. it was just too hard for me to watch and i couldn’t sleep after because i was thinking how Seth must have been feeling…
had a BBQ last night and couldn’t keep my eyes off this sweet little girl. Kaira is the cutest! she’s looking like how Kelia looked when she was 2 years old.
everybody asked me today where i’ve been. i said “i’ve been flying high in Bali, eating good food, and getting 3 hours massages everyday.” then all of a sudden they weren’t smiling anymore. haha. 
no, this is not a Komodo Dragon, this is a very colorful gecko on the Big Island. can’t wait to go back…
