ever since i’ve been invited to the “Luxury Trips” i’ve been taking, i’ve been toning down my blog and not talking about it too much. at first, i just felt guilty for going. i felt like i was in the wrong place. i felt like something was wrong. it was a weird feeling, but i was kind of embarrassed to tell my friends about it, let alone, the people checking my blog. since last year, i have so many wonderful photos, videos, and memories i’ve been keeping to myself. and as i look back at them, i almost feel guilty for kind of living a secret life. do i sound confused? well, i am.
my family and really good friends tell me to “go for it.” that is what i would tell others of they were giving the same opportunity. but what would people think about me? would they look down? would they say bad things about me? yeah, sometimes i think about that. yes, i don’t like to disappoint people.
so before i left to the maldives on this dream of a lifetime trip, i decided to show people my wonderful secret life. haha. i know there are many people that want to see it, i know there are many of people that want to dream it. i’ve said this over and over but i’m a big dreamer. i dream things 100x more than your average person. people laugh, people don’t believe. but i’m a true believer that if you set a dream and strive toward it, it will come true someday. this past trip exceeded all the dreams of a lifetime, but it’s not over for me. i’m only half way through my life and the other half is going to be better. i already made new dreams for the future and i have 100% confidence it will all come true.
for now, i’m back to my normal life. i eat rice and miso soup everyday. no Don Perignon, no Cristal, no 1942 Don Julio for me. i had too much in the maldives. haha. i’m back to waking up early, eating cereal in the morning, and going surfing. my life might sound super complexed to some people, but for me, it’s pretty simple. i just go with the flow and if one day i get invited on a $100 fishing boat in the philippines, i’ll take it. and if another day i get invited to another $1,000.000 trip to the maldives, i’ll take it. for me, it’s not about luxury, it’s about experience. i’ve learned so many things in this past 2 weeks that will change my life forever. i want to thank Inaida-san for giving me a chance of a lifetime!
oh, want to know what kanji warui means? kanji warui in japanese means “you asshole.” haha. look at this asshole getting picked up from narita airport by a personal driver and sitting in the back of a $500,000 Maybach getting taken to tokyo. this is called “kanji warui” in japanese and you know what? i love it!!!! you can call me what ever you want. haha.
