wow, i can’t believe it’s 2015 already! 2014 went by so fast and so many things happened. i always look back at the past year. last night i was in bed at 8:30pm thinking about things. did i accomplish the things i wanted? the answer is yes. 2014 was a great year for me. i traveled more than ever, i surfed incredible waves around the world, i dove incredible places around the world, i made new friends around the world, and i became closer to the people in the world that are already in my life. i shook off the negative, i ran with the positive. i took chances, and overcame my expectations. i forgave, and i was forgiven. made mistakes, but got right back up. so many great experiences, and so many magical moments. all that in 30 minutes as i fell fast asleep by 9pm. no fireworks waking me up, no crying babies waking me up, and no loud chickens waking me up. i slept like the one year baby i use to be. and when i woke up at 4:30am this morning, i felt like a 18 year old kid that wanted to rule the world!
what’s in store for 2015? nothing too much different. i’ve lived out every possible dream i had, i have everything i want, and i’m richest in friends. if there are any changes in 2015, i just want the world to be a better place. with all this negative things like earthquakes, wars, killings, terrorists, airplane accidents, and crazy things happening, this world is getting pretty scary. i wish all that negative things can just disappear. but i know that it can’t and won’t happen, so i just will keep on the same path in the wonderful world i choose to live in.
to all my family and friends out there: follow your dreams. keep your head up. think positive. and never look back. live 2015 day by day, minute by minute, breath by breath. live it like it will be the last, and i’ll see you around in this wonderful world in 2015!

I love 2015 already!!!

ok, i just went 7 days straight of surfing 5-6 hours per day. super fun, and today was no exception. tomorrow i took a day off as i need to rest out of the sun. but knowing me, i’ll go surfing anyway. haha.

omg, how cold was it this morning? 15 degrees C. i had sweat pants and a thick jacket on and i was still cold. more cold days ahead.

picked up Miyahara-san early this morning and hit our first session at diamond head. only had one other guy out lighthouse so we got some fun waves. it was such a beautiful day!

then we went to eat at the original pancake house. canadian bacon, sunny side up eggs, and macadamia nut pancakes. i was so full after this!!!

then we went to check bowls and nobody was out! super fun waves and we had the whole spot to ourselves. what a lucky afternoon. Miyahara-san caught so many good waves and was surfing super good. we had a lot of laughs today and so much fun.

then it was time to say goodbye. thank you Miyahara-san for 2 awesome surf sessions. hope you have a great new years countdown tonight!
as for me, it’s 8pm and my eyes are closing. after i post this, i’m closing my eyes and am going to watch the countdown in my dreams. tomorrow i want to start out fresh so no alcohol tonight. going to wake up early and be 100% genki and start my new years off on the right path. surf, dive, travel, family, and friends. what else do you need to have another great year? good night 2014!
