it started off as a very beautiful day in paradise. i just took out Mayuki for her first ride of the year. 
then a little while later, i saw something unusual. Diamond Head on fire? what? i looked closer and noticed that houses were burning! 
when you see fire like this, it’s scary. then you could hear all the police/ambulance/firemen sirens echoing from the mountain to the ocean. i couldn’t understand what was going on, but i knew it was very serious.
then i come home and watch the news. a 69 year old man stabbed a lady, shot and killed 2 police officers, and burnt his house which lead to 7 multi-million dollar houses burnt to the ground. this is Diamond Head and things like this aren’t supposed to happen there. i was watching the news feeling depressed. feeling so sad that our once paradise island is becoming like a Third World country. a very sad day in paradise. today was the kind of day you wish you woke up and it was just a bad dream…
