for decades, Keramas has been the bypass for the ducks.  this is an everyday event i’ve been watching for the past 25 years… even if Kelly Slater is surfing, all eyes are on the ducks.  haha… meanwhile in the capital of Indonesia, there are riots going on right now.  protesters in Jakarta! i told my brother they should go spend a few days there to check it out.  but after this, maybe not a good idea.   walking through 5 star hotels with a foil and a smile.  nothing can stop us… double tow in’s.  if the front man falls, he has a chance of falling to my sharp blade.  so yeah, better focus here… saw the news?  remember the Japanese couple who went to look at the graffiti in Kakaako last year?   they went to use the toilet and a man beat them up and robbed them.  the husband totally beaten up until unconscious, and his wife choked in the neck almost to death.  this was the poor Japanese man that got attacked.  well, the guy who did this went to court and guess what the verdict was?  he got 4 months probation!!!  are you kidding???   so anyone can go beat up 2 innocent people and not go to jail?  that’s the craziest thing i ever heard of!!!  where is the justice???   these days are getting so sad in Hawaii..

Fill her up please…

Have a wonderful day!

 came home and ate some fresh Shirasu from Yamari!  can’t get anything close to this in Hawaii!   yesterday was May 21, 2019.  a day that i marked on my calendar a long time ago.  a day i wasn’t going to miss no matter what.  if my flight was cancelled, i would have swam home from Bali.   watching kids graduating from High School is a treat.  it is the turning point of their lives and i want to be a part of it. i was assigned to be the poster holder.  haha… so happy Tony made it back in time too.  all we talked about was our dream trips to Australia and Bali.   where are we going next?   i want to congratulate my little Princess for graduation from High School with honors.  i couldn’t be a happier man right now.  from now on, it’s time to set her free so she can chase her dreams on her own.  i’ll just watch from the side and support her all the way…meanwhile, my brother and the boys are still enjoying Indonesia.  here is GQ model Yasin under the amazing Indo waterfall!   haha…
