like always, i had a great time with this wonderful father and son surfers. Abe-san and Yuta-kun are super super kind people from Ishinomaki. great hearts and great people that were also affected by the tsunami. i’m so glad to have surfed with them 3x ever since. we caught so many good waves today and the weather and waves couldn’t have been any better. perfect day, perfect surfing, and perfect people. We Are One!

thank you Abe-san for the goodies! omg, i can’t wait to eat this over my hot rice tomorrow morning.

today was a picture perfect day all day long. felt like summer. warm water, warm weather, and cool trade winds.

i was sitting for 2 hours along the ocean and watched whale after whale pass me by. it was so peaceful!

i also watched some of my friends paddle out and catch few waves. here is Randall with the super carve cutback.

and Kekoa flying high. the boys looked like they were having so much fun out there.

and to see my brothers new house in cambodia almost completed makes me really happy. i can’t wait to go back!
well, another long day. another service guy trying to overcharge me, another long meeting with a lawyer, another meeting with my accountant, and just more and more things making my life complicated. i really need a vacation! good night.

OMG! It’s summer!
So blue and so hot with free trade wind cooler.
Love Hawaii!

when i went surfing with Yumi-chan yesterday, i couldn’t believe how good she got! omg, from the first wave to the last, perfect surfing. the perfect style, bending her knees, looking forward, arms out, and little more weight on her back foot making the surfboard work best. i was really impressed as this girl from kansai has gotten so much more confident in surfing, and in life. great job Yumi-chan!

and Yumi-chan brought me some cool gifts. she knows what i like.

i have no idea what you call this but as soon as i pop one in my mouth, i get a juicy surprise! oishi yade!

and Yumi-chan has been sending her love with others from kansai. she hand made eye pillows and collected donations for the people of tohoku. after 3 years, i’m so happy that there are people that never forgot. thank you all for still supporting tohoku!

and this is a gift to Hiyori-chan from Yumi-chan. these 2 girls haven’t met before but the love and connection have been built. that’s what “ONE” is all about.
5 more days and counting. still don’t even know if i’ll get a flight out of hawaii because everything is fully booked next week. if i have to fly to africa to get to japan, i will. if there’s a will, there’s a way. i’m not even stressing out about it like i use to before because if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be. if not, not. only time and effort will tell. and plus, i’m too busy this week to even be thinking about next week. live day by day right? well, i’m living minute by minute. haha.
