a tourist surfer at uluwatu in bali bought some ice cream from this lady before he went surfing. come to find out, there was the “date rape” drug in it. he passed out, the lady stole his wallet, and went on a shopping spree.

not the smartest lady as she poses for a photo after spending thousands at a mobile phone shop. i’m sure she won’t be selling ice cream at uluwatu anymore. the crazy thing about it is i bought ice cream at uluwatu many of times. luckily she didn’t date rape me. that would be more scary.

if you want to sell your house, the average days on the market is 16 days. and for a condo, 15 days. so yes, your house in hawaii will sell in 2 weeks, sometimes less. the hot real estate market in hawaii continues.

there was only Mori-san, Naoka, and i out on this day in taiwan. sets were pretty big. i seen this big left starting to break and barrel. i yell to Naoka “GO, GO, GO!!!” he turns around, panics, and misses it. haha. i was laughing so hard because when people panic, their body doesn’t move. after the perfect left went by, i could tell Naoka was bummed because it could have been the wave of his life.

shortly after, a set right comes in. i yell “GO, GO, GO!!!” this time, Naoka goes! rides the perfect swell and i’m in back of him cheering him on.

awesome ride Naoka! remember “don’t panic, keep calm and go-naminori!”

OMG! Straight to Japan! Please be careful!
Good morning 5:15am.
Ala Moana waist/chest high and clean.
Diamond Head shoulder high and windy.
Trade winds at 20mph.
Rainy morning becoming sunny. Lots of rainbows.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!

after having so much fun yesterday at Big Rights, i decided to go there again today. clean water, clean waves, and awesome surf! scored again!

then went driving all over town again to look for something strong so the seat won’t break again. hopefully this will be the last time. kind of frustrating to drive all around, but when i see this artwork, i get a good laugh out of it. haha.

came home and put the seat back together again. not that hard to do, but just tedious and time consuming.

i called T-Mobile 2 days ago to get information about getting a new iPhone 7. they told me it will be a free upgrade, and to come to the store today to pick up the iPhone. so i go to the store and wait in a long line. i ask for the iPhone and they told me “oh, you have to upgrade your plan. it will cost $40 more every month for the next 2 years.” i say “what???” they said “yes, we have a new promotion that just came out yesterday. i take a deep breath, do some calculations. ok, an additional $40/month for 2 years is $960 right? so i have to pay $960 for a iPhone 7 that costs $645 if i were to buy it outright? that’s crazy! i told them “are you kidding me? how many people did you guys sucker today to sign up for this crazy rip-off promo?” he said “a lot” with a big smile on his face. omg, very disappointing T-Mobile for ripping off loyal customers. i walked out empty handed and said “shame on you guys.”

been eating carpaccio every night. one night mahimahi, the next night ono.

it’s unbelievable how much better fresh fish tastes. maybe i’ll actually go fishing again. haha.

sprinkle some salt/pepper, then fry it in olive oil. my favorite way to cook mahimahi. still have 2 more days of fish in my refrigerator. i’m feeling very healthy! good night.
