ok, here is the last information i’m putting about the party for tomorrow night. why? because i’m so fricken tired!!! i went to izu, shot, surfed, bbq, and had lots of fun. the second day, i was so busy that i didn’t have time to eat breakfast or drink the water my dehydrated body needed. my sister and kelia have the a/c on at 18 degrees all day and night. i was cold, then hot, then cold, then hot. my body shut down and was thinking about asking where the nearest hospital was. it was pretty bad. but after i drank water and ate some dinner, i felt a lot better. now i know the importance of water… well, that’s my complaining for today….
as for the party, here is a brief preview. live music, dj, mc, bowling, and lots of chicks! not to mention the prizes. i’d say over $12,000 worth from generous sponsors. kelia is giving her board away, i’m giving mine away, and a couple more sponsors donated boards too. not to mention all the jewelry, sunscreen, clothes, soap, dvd’s, bikinis, lotions, photos, stickers, shirasu and other prizes. i think everybody has a great chance of going home with something. i have meetings, and a long day ahead tomorrow. roxy pro, jr. pro, and party at night. i plan to bowl so i better look for 2 decent partners.
probably no time to do emails and stuff tomorrow so if you need to get in touch of me, see you at the party!
after this crazy week finishes, i’ll give plugs to every sponsors that helped out with this event. we all appreciate it!!!
**oh, guess what? check out this bonus! 5 years ago i went to the 30 year dove party and my memory is still alive. why? because dove had a mini-studio set up in the corner for photo portraits. i have a few photos that i kept and thought that i don’t want anybody to forget this party too! so we will have a mini-studio set up with a professional lighting and a professional photographer to take your portraits of yourself, or yourself with your friends. i can’t wait!

famous photographer taisuke yokoyama took this photo in his mini-studio of tokura-san and i 5 years ago. a lifetime keeper!!!
**last last, just found out that we will be hosting a bowling contest at the party. make a team of 3, if your combined score is the highest, the 3 of you will win a years supply of yamari shirasu!! kirby, your kidding???? no i’m not!!!

good morning. first, there will be no party in shikoku tomorrow. kelia has been putting on her blog that the party will be in shikoku. the party is in shonan. enoshima bowl to be exact. she’s looking forward to seeing you all there….

we were in tokyo the other night. every time i go there, i think to myself if it could be possible for an ocean lover like me to live that far away from the beach. the answer is on. but on the other hand, if the beach was 15 minutes away from tokyo, i’d live there for sure…. and i’d be going to roppongi every weekend.. haha…

aren’t these pretty dam cool!!! i love them….
**we’re heading back to shonan this morning after a surf. 6 hours stuck in traffic if we’re lucky. i hope my sister will drive this time cause i need some much needed rest. see you soon!!

Natsumi and Minami with Kelia.
