i was about to paddle out to bowls today when i seen 2 korean tourists walking around the parking lot looking for their car. they kept looking and looking. i already knew it got towed so i went up to ask them, “did you park your car here over night?” they said “yes.” oh my, your car got towed. i explained to them what to do and they were so confused and clueless. so i call korean speaking hana taxi for them, arrange the pick up and drop off to their car at near the airport. i’m sure they are going to be shocked when they get the $200 bill. all the time i talked to them, i was doing sign language because i don’t speak korean. the only words i know is kamsamnida and bibimbap. haha. at the end, they said “kamsamnida” and i said “samasama.” a taste of korean and indonesian. welcome to the cultural mixing pot of hawaii! and please don’t park your car in the parking lot at bowls past 10:30pm.

Are you serious?


This morning sunrise from the middle of the sea!
Welcome to my office.
A very happy moment!

when ever i go to makapuu recently, i always look at the right corner and think to myself “i was pretty dam crazy to paddle from here to waikiki in the pitch dark all alone.” then 1 minute later i’m trying to look out to the horizon for molokai. and i think to myself “someday.”

i use to hate whisky 3 years ago. but now, i drink it slowly enjoying every single smokey sip. i learned a lot of what is good, and what is bad. these are all Inaida-san’s top of the line whiskey’s and i’ve tried every one. all good for all different types of moods. i can’t wait to sip on one tonight.
