North shore 2-3′ and good! Clean off shore.
South shore chest high and junky. Onshore winds.
South winds at 15mph becoming South/West later today.
Clouds, sun, warm, and nice.
Going to work.
Have a wonderful day!

what a treat yesterday and today. waves fun yesterday, but even funner today. shoulder high perfect glassy rights all morning long. surfed for a couple of hours and had so much fun. felt like summer! BUT, tomorrow things will change. junky south/west winds for the next few days so ugly conditions again.

my grand nephew has been hanging out at my house a lot lately. this is the closest to a surfboard he’s been so far. i can feel the day coming!

after eating real japanese food in japan for the past 25 years, i think my taste buds knows what is good, and what isn’t. this is good. my mouth is watering again. i miss japan.

next month will be the first time in my life i’m going to new york! i’m not a big fan of traveling around america so i’ll just spend one day there, then move on to some other country i’ve never been to before. like always, mother nature will decide where i’ll go. can’t wait!

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” Gandhi
this saying i truly believe in. i try to live by Gandhi’s guidelines. living each and every day as it’s my last. things happen so fast in this world we live in. one day you could be here, and the next, you could be gone. i’m still learning how to live this wonderful life. i’m still learning so the longer i live, the smarter i hope to be.

right as i was doing this blog, i get a text from bobby telling me about the terrible news. a japanese national got attacked by a shark in australia just a few hours ago. both legs bit off and he died on the beach after other surfers pulled him out of the water. it happened at New South Wales in very shallow water right off the shoreline. australian news posted the surfers name and photo as they are trying to contact his family. omg, so sad, and so shocking.

my iphones been acting up ever since my cold trip to hokkaido. the battery dies so fast now. can’t even last half the day. everybody told me that the cold weather kills the battery life. super bummed because i just got it. also still trying to fix my old 4s i gave away because it broke on the poor little girl. took it to radio shack in ala moana shopping center, waited 3 hours, and it’s still broken. omg! going back there again today.

ever since i started getting into yoga again, i’m feeling so much better. a lot more relaxed, stress free, and very flexible. been learning some new poses and getting better with my old ones. this pose is called “pincha mayurasana” and is pretty easy to do. you would think it takes a lot of strength to do this pose, BUT, actually no strength is needed. you just need a good breath, good balance, and good concentration. i can hold it for pretty long and not get tired at all. and when i come down, all the blood rushing to my head makes me feel so good! i hope to keep doing yoga forever so my body can keep up with my mind. because my mind is like a 13 year old boy! haha. namaste.
