for those of you who don’t know, i’m allergic to raw shrimp heads. if i eat it, i get sick. my stomach turns angry and hurts more than a 10′ pipeline wave landing on my head. but at the same time, i love to eat shrimp heads so i eat it anyway. just a few hours before i boarded my flight back to hawaii, i ate a shrimp head. as soon as i got on the airplane, i felt it. omg, i was in pain! feeling dizzy, sore stomach, head ache, and felt like throwing up. so i payed the price!!! but the good thing is: my body flushed out every single thing that could possible come out. and i lost the 10lbs i gained with Toda-san. will i eat another raw shrimp head again? probably. but never again before i board an airplane.

when the waves get big, sometimes you come up and breath foam. going up to your nose is normal in hawaii. but in puerto escondido, i remember the foam going way over my head wave after wave. i thought i was going to die! thank goodness i didn’t panic. i will never forget that day.
