the police caught the two guys shortly after but the damage has been done. they were charged with attempted murder but the poor japanese girl will be traumatized for life. so sad. remember that nowhere in this world is safe anymore, not even here in paradise.

traveling around the world to third world countries taught me so much. rain water is so precious to them. to us in hawaii, it’s just water going down the drain to running out to the ocean. so recently, i’ve been thinking about conserving water. i set up a big bin under the roof where the water drains. so every rain will fill up this big bin and i can use it to water my plants. this is actually saving me a lot of precious water from the pipe.

and my plants seem to love the rain water. gardenia, basil, avocado, and rosemary. nature on nature.

remember my avocado tree died? but before that, it dropped an avocado and a few months later, it turned into a plant? well, it actually dropped 2 avocados right before it died and i replanted both of them. i was only expecting one to survive but both did. so i’ll have 2 strong avocado trees providing fruit forever. and see that gardenia bud on the right? i looked at it before i went out to dinner.
