had a great time surfing with Abe-san from Ishinomaki this morning. i couldn’t believe how good he got. this is the 3rd consecutive year and Abe-san’s surfing is getting better and better. so stoked to see him ride so many perfect waves this morning. when we took this photo, it was raining. yeah, super sunny blue sky but raining? only in hawaii.

i’ve been looking around for a place to stay. my friend is coming to hawaii in november so i thought it would be better for him to live with foreigners in a local style kind of living. i found a nice place in kaimuki kind of near my house. much more relaxing than waikiki.

a private room in a local house cost around $700 to $1,300/month. this room is in between at $1,050/month. not bad huh?

here is another saying i keep on my desktop. “IF IT’S MEANT TO BE, IT WILL BE.” i’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. good or bad, things happen and we just have to accept it and move forward. we can’t force things to happen, we can’t plan things to happen, things just happen. that’s how i live my daily life and that’s what gets me through the good and bad times.
last, check out this video of 2 free dive buddies trying to go deep to chase a prized fish. i do this many of times and after watching this video, i might think again before exceeding my limits. “IF IT’S MEANT TO BE, IT WILL BE.” but for these guys, “IT WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE.” lucky he is alive!
