every time i see anpanman, i think about Mateus. gosh, i sure miss that boys smile.

if you ever fly out of kansai airport, you better get there 3 hours earlier. just to get into the airport gate will take about 2 hours. crazy!

luckily i’m with Kimura-san and Atsuko-san. getting special treatment from everybody feels great!

samsung galaxy 7 not allowed to be used and charged during flights? are you serious? in america, you can’t even take one on a plane because it explodes. i wasn’t feeling safe knowing there were galaxy’s on my flight.

four airplane flights in three days? i think that’s my record.

i love the flight from tokyo to osaka because i know i’ll fly over the most beautiful mountain in the world.

and yes, she was so beautiful! meet Mt. Fuji!

i know japan pretty well. almost as good as a google map. so was looking down to see if Toda-san was getting barreled!

arrive in bali and the first thing i see is “Zika Virus alert.” omg!

grabbed our stuff and headed out.

the first thing i want to do when i arrive in bali after a long flight is to drink a cold bintang. gosh, it was so good!

went to the supermarket and seen this indonesian girl that looked exactly like one of my friends. omg!

Left Tokyo at 4:15am and arrived at hotel at 10pm.
I can’t wait to sleep on this beautiful bed. Goodnight!

in my life, nothing is planned. i just go with the flow, just like riding a wave. so when i get invited to a dinner in tokyo, i didn’t even hesitate.

took a flight to ginza! the high life mecca of japan.

i must have been to ginza over 30 times and guess what? i’ve never ever bought anything from there. haha. i just people watch and window shop.

there is a restaurant in ginza that is probably the best in the world. i can’t even explain how good it is. caviar and champagne.

then steak and wine.

then truffle and pasta. we ended up eating, drinking, and laughing a lot.

then got up early and walked the streets in tokyo. trying to look for a taxi.

got to shinagawa station and it was totally empty. i actually caught the first train of the day.

lucky the trains have english these days. when i first came here, no english at all.

as we sat later in a bar talking story, Inaida-san told me “just remember, you only have one life.” i’m always inspired by this kind and intelligent gentleman. and that’s the very reason i do the things i do. i live everyday like it’s my last. i meet my friends and cherish the moment as it’s the last, i take every breath as it’s my last. i don’t care what people think about me. i just care about my family, my friends, and my life. might sound selfish to many, but not to me. everybody deserves to be happy and do whatever it takes to get you there. i’m in a great place in my life now. and i want to thank Inaida-san and Yuki-san for teaching me how to live the life i want to live. you guys look very healthy and happy. thank you also for the amazing night of food, drinks, and laughs. hope to see you guys again soon!
