ok, it’s been 5 long days since i got food poisoned. it wouldn’t get better probably because i didn’t want to take medicine. so i just tried to tough it out. day 1 when i started the 45 hour way back to hawaii. i’d say the pain was 10 out of 10. 10 being the worst. i seriously don’t know how they let me board the plane in the condition i was in. i guess i’m a good actor. haha. i faked looking normal with my body shaking of the cold and my head sweating with burning fever. i didn’t want them to deny me boarding. anyway, everyday since, the level went down little by little. today, the pain was 2 out of 10. my body still felt super weak so i needed to get it back where i actually felt energetic enough to do something.
so i go to morning yoga. tell my teacher to go easy on me because i still had poison in my body. i sat in the back and did my best. the downward dog pose gave me the heaviest head rushes. but i kept on going.
after class finished, i felt pretty good. good enough to fly around the neighborhood coming home. the wind on my face felt so good!
if you drive around kaimuki recently, you will see huge houses like this being built. what’s happening is chinese investors are buying old single family houses for cash, knocking it down, and building oversized houses that hold 5 families or 30 people. yes, all on the same lot.
i drive a block up the street and find an example. this house on 10th avenue was my favorite house. i actually wanted to buy it someday because it was so classic, cozy, and cool. if i and a million bucks, i would have bought this house for sure. but some chinese investor bought it and now it’s too late. the bulldozer was already there tearing down this treasure. i got depressed just watching it.
so i load the boards in the truck and went surfing till sunset. now i feel better again. it’s just so sad to see hawaii changing so fast. kaimuki is becoming chinatown and it’s not just here, it’s island wide. can somebody please lend me $100 billion so i can buy the island and keep it the exact way it supposed to be? thank you.
