gosh, it was another cold day here in japan. grey sky, rain… ah…. i don’t know how much longer i can handle this weather. i miss my trunks, tshirt, and slippers…. but paradise is just a flight away so that’s keeping me going… just been spending some time dreaming about things. things i want to do. things i want to happen. a lot of postive things. i’m a dreamer and i’ve learned that you have to dream big to keep motivated. so dream big is what i do and if one of those 100 dreams come true, i guess it’s worth it. right? oh yeah… so everybody should make a dream today and I hope it comes true for you. take it from me, DREAMS DO COME TRUE….
gosh, everytime i come to japan, i freak out on how small this country is. i bump into people everywhere i go. and for some reason, there is some link between everybody i know. the girl on the left is rie-chan. she surfs in shonan and i’ve known her for a few years. then fuki-san is in the middle. fuki-san came to hawaii last year for a photo shoot for stunning lure and i was lucky to be their guide. then kanemo-san is on the right. i just met her the other night at the jack johnson concert. then i saw makitani-san from stunning lure there too. then i seen takeshi-san too. gosh, japan is so small…. anyway, these 3 very smart girls run a big company from osaka/kobe. until a little while ago, i had no idea they worked together. what a trip. and they really know how to have a good time. i had a blast. gosh, my stomach is still sore from laughing so much…. good to see you girls again. and next time, keep the noise down when your laughing… haha…
after the concert as i was getting on the train heading back to chigasaki, akko called me and invited me for a drink with her and sayuri-chan. i’d thought i’d stop by for one jacksan but one led to another, then another, then another…..
i had a great time talking to akko and sayuri-chan. sayuri-chan lives in chigasaki and attends one of the top colleges in japan. her home surf grounds is yanagishima. another smart girl with a good future ahead of her…
when i walked out of the bar, i seen all these bottles of bintang. i asked the bartender if he was collecting the bottles but he told me that they sell bintangs there. shit!! i didn’t know. if i did, i would have drank that… then my head wouldn’t be as sore as it was the next morning… the bar is called IKAT and is right near chigasaki station. pretty cool place. surf videos, bintang, and a cool vibe…. oh, wanted to thank jack and jack for that awesome jack night….
