Beef Stew Pho…


Vietnam Special Pho in Hawaii..

Okinawa in North Shore, Hawaii….

good morning. 6:45 on this sunny monday morning. the waves are looking pretty dam good now. seen some 2′ sets at bowls with perfect conditions. light trade winds and 15 guys out. north shore is flat. going to the airport to pick up tokura-san and we’re going surfing!!! have a nice day!!!

i went to baskin and robbins the other night for a late night snack. they call it 31 flavors because there are 31 flavors right? that makes sense…. i remember going to the baskin and robins they had at koko marina shopping center after school and trying every flavor. the lady use to get mad at us but really couldn’t say anything. then after eating all those samples, i always chose the “pink bubble gum flavor”….[:?????????:]

since when did they start having chocolate dipped waffle cones????

i got the biggest one. by the way, i don’t remember an ice cream cone costing $5.35? big time inflation…
***i took some video clips this past north shore season at a barbecue where okinawa meets hawaii. there was plenty of aloha at this barbecue. i’m planning a couple of trips this year to okinawa and i can’t wait to hang out with the boys. surf, eat, drink, and have fun!!! see you guys soon….

Depot Hotel: Padang, Indonesia….

good evening. the waves came up today out of the south, but so did the wind. side onshore winds making ugly waves in town. i looked at a few spots and decided not to surf today. instead, i went shopping and came home to play with my new toy. more waves on the way for this week and i’m hoping the wind are good because i feel like surfing everyday again. see you in the water…. have a nice and safe evening….

i was wondering what kind of tree this was? it was hanging outside the pool by my friends house and thought it was pretty cool….

night surfing is the best. ever tried it? we use to always do it back in the days. and i’m getting tempted to doing it again….

hey, i woke up early today and waited in line at costco to buy my new toy. it’s a sanyo xacti waterproof camera that i will be using a lot this summer in hawaii. wanna be on one of my vids? just say: cheese[:????????$B!r(B:]

and last, if you ever go to the mentawai’s. take time to stop by in padang at the depot hotel for the best shiatsu massage. $6 for a 1 hour massage that will loosen every joint in your body up. and if your ever staying in padang over night, stop over to the pool/karaoke bar on the first floor. you’ll have the time of your life…. just don’t say i sent you there.. haha….
**by the way, i had my cell phone checked out in malaysia. now when i use it, some things don’t work anymore. shit!! now i have to get a new one….
