good evening. toda-san and takami-san came to hawaii today. we stopped by surftech to pick up a stand up paddle board for toda-san. what happened when we got there is another story. just to make it short, there were alarms, unlocked doors, and a lot of policemen….

check out the million dollar view from the ilikai hotel. gosh, i wish i could stay there too. we all surfed bowls this afternoon after the contest finished. it was chest high and really fun…. just another beautiful day in hawaii. i’ve been back for 25 days and it’s been like this every single day….

last night, my friend holli bought me a boddingtons beer that’s imported from britain. it was pretty dam good but something was strange. every time i took a sip, i could hear something floating around in the can. so i asked holli if she had a flashlight so i could look what it was. yeah, holli has everything in her bag….

when i looked in the little hole, i seen what looked to be an eyeball. an eyeball in my beer? i almost threw up… so i opened the can carefully and there it was, a plastic eyeball….

i don’t know what the british are thinking but they put plastic eyeballs in their beer. look how big it is. what if i choked? after i read the can, it said that there is a plastic thing in there to keep it foaming or something. i still don’t get it???? but it’s a great beer that got me buzzing pretty hard in 5 minutes… will i drink it again? ummm, yeah, if i feel like sucking on a plastic eyeball again… thanks holli….

in hawaii. mainichi tenki sugoi ii desu… saiko!!!

good morning. 6:15am sunday morning. got the surf into summer going on at bowls and the nssa at kewalo’s today. the waves are chest/head high and looking super fun. i’ll probably go by and check out the contest for a while, then surf the same place i did yesterday. it’s sunday so everywhere will be crowded, except there. but first, going to the airport… have a great day!!

last night was exciting. i went with some friends to watch the UFC fight. rashad evans(champion) vs. lyoto machida. i’ve been watching these two fighters fight for the past 2 years. i don’t like evans because he is cocky. talks shit too much. machida on the other hand is humble. he’s a karate expert that is half japanese/half brazilian. i like his style, his power, his speed, and his humbleness. so this was a fight i wasn’t going to miss….

when the bell rang, i was excited. here are 2 fighters that are both undefeated. that’s a first in UFC history. although i don’t like evan’s, he can freaking fight. and he beat the best of the best in the UFC. but machida is part japanese so i was cheering for him….

round 2, lights out!! evan’s got knocked out by machida’s karate punches…. i was freaking yelling my head off. i haven’t seen such awesome karate since mr. miyagi in the karate kid. i’m going to go outside and wax my car. “wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off”…..

machida is the new light heavyweight UFC champion. i don’t think anybody can beat this guy…. after he won, they interviewed him and although he can’t speak too good english, this is what he had to say.
IF YOU HAVE A DREAM IN YOUR LIFE, GO AHEAD. IT’S POSSIBLE….

these words stuck in my head all night long. i feel the same way. now i’m going to start training karate. i took it when i was in 2nd grade at haleiwa elementary school. now i’m ready to return into the dojo…. and when i get my black belt, you better not drop in on me. haha…. but yeah, no matter what your dream is, you can do it….. machida did it and so can you….
