my last trip to japan, somebody told me that Captain EO was back at disneyland. what?? really?? i went to california disneyland 25 years ago and seen captain eo right when it came out. i think that’s when 3D first came out. i never forgot it. and now that it’s back, i couldn’t miss the opportunity. if captain eo is back, so am i!!!

the lines were so long. i ended up waiting for an hour but it was well worth it. if you haven’t seen captain eo before, get your butt down to disneyland and check it out. michael jackson lives on!!!!

back in hawaii, i was eating mangos everyday. it was so sweet and best of all, free. now that i come to japan, i only can look and dream. these were $55 each and even if i had a million dollars in my pocket, i wouldn’t buy one. these are not me. i’ll stick to the sweet hawaiian mangos….

good morning. besides my never ending jetlag, i’m doing pretty good. it’s 5 am and the waves are flat, the temperature is baking, and i’m starting to miss hawaii already. i feel like jumping in my car, driving 10 minutes to the beach, and surf fun warm clean water waves. in japan, it’s a little different. this heat is making me go crazy!!!

we went to scope out the place for the upcoming event. it’s called the GO-NAMINORI X SURFER GIRLS SUMMER RIDE Supported by ROXY! it’s happening on august 14th from 8-12 midnight at Ciza Bar in Enoshima Bowl. the place is set, the time is set, and the event is set. live music by Kat and Aaron, Go-Naminori Slideshow and Mentawai Preview movie, Roxy’s Dear and Yonder DVD preview, live painting by Tomio, DJ’s, MC, and…..
