went to my friend John’s house last night for a get together. i knew John from college days right after he graduated from UH. he worked super hard since then and is now living in a dream condo. the most luxury condo near ala moana penthouse unit with 3 fricken floors!!! i went to the rooftop and couldn’t believe the panoramic views. i am and was always really happy to see my friends being so successful. it inspires me and pushes me harder to achieve all of my dreams too! congratulations John! great party, great people, and great condo!
we were playing this game last night. all 10 of us grown adults yelling and screaming like kids. i’m surprised none of his neighbors didn’t call the police.
today is the day i’ve been looking forward to for a long time. 11 year old Hiyori-chan from ishinomaki coming to hawaii! she will be staying at my house for the next 16 days. thank you Saito-san for the photos from the airport last night. i bet it must have been sad to see her leaving. don’t worry because she will enjoy this beautiful island! and hey Naomi-san, i’m always happy to see you smiling! We Are One Forever!
i can only wonder what an 11 year old girl must be thinking when leaving her country for the first time. excitement? nervous? scared? i was 23 years old when i first left america and i still remember leaving on the airplane for japan. that was the day my life changed. changed in the greatest way i can ever imagine.
well, going to the airport. have a wonderful day!
