Have a wonderful day!

last night i walked out of a restaurant and looked up.  it was a Super Moon!

i took this photo and couldn’t believe how bright it was.  i should have gone surfing!

took the girls down to the car dealer to learn about buying cars.  if they went alone, they would guarantee get the worst deal.  but with me, i only settle for the best.  we were down there for 2 hours checking out the new Lexus lineup.  these girls learned a lot today about bargaining, credit, finance, and making right decisions…

Sasaki-san arrived in Hawaii today so we went surfing!  since the last time we surfed, i have to say that he has gotten way better.

and much more happier too!  so happy to surf with this happy man today!

good job today Sasaki-san!  keep happy and keep looking forward.

i went to Panda today and this was my fortune.  “You deserve the best.”  after reading this, i thought to myself “yeah, i do deserve the best!”  so from now on, i’m not settling for anything but the best…

been eating some really good food recently.  taking out and eating it in the nature.  can’t beat that!  everybody i let try my bike, is going to buy a bike.  so if you don’t want to try my bike, don’t ask because i guarantee you will buy one.   this is Rikita-san’s new board, this is something i want to try.  i wonder if he will know?  haha…with the wintery weather recently, you will experience the most amazing sunrises.  my favorite time of the day!i followed the boys down the beach right before they paddled out for the Semi-Finals of the Volcom Pro.  Josh is on the left and is the older one.  Seth is on the right and is the calmer one.  he’s probably thinking “don’t worry brother, i got this one.”  haha…so yeah, these kids are like my babies.  i was so lucky to watch them grow up all these years.  Joshua was the chubby one with the curly hair.  and also with the biggest eyes…Seth was the curious and smiley one.  always trying to do things better than his older brothers and never giving up.  of all the 5 Moniz kids, Seth listened to me the most.  when i said “GO,”  this boy always went…
