i can’t believe it cost $60 to park my truck overnight at the Hilton Hawaiian Village!!! are you serious??? i still remember when parking was only $5…
went to eat at my favorite Thai restaurant the other night. so spicy! 
then Seira-chan and i had our favorite, Panda at Kahala Mall. we just love this place! 
i haven’t been underwater for a very long time. i’m starting to suffocate. thank goodness my dive buddy Asayama-san is coming this Thursday so we’ll be spending a lot of time in the underwater world. 
can’t wait to get out my foil again and start shooting beautiful photos like this. Chifumi-san @ DH. 
last Christmas Eve, one of the local surfers at Ala Moana had a stroke. luckily, he survived. seeing him back in the water the other day catching his first wave since then, it was a very happy moment. he’s like living a bonus life now…
i get my fortune cookie and here’s what it says. “Life’s greatest joys come from sharing good times with friends and family.” wow, that was right on the spot!
