good morning. 5 am on this saturday morning. wow, no wind today!! it’s been a while… i wish i can go diving but got other things to do. the waves are small but really fun. i was at kewalo’s yesterday evening watching all the kids surf. gosh, their just getting better and better. i hope someday there is a WCT top surfer that comes out of kewalo’s. that would be cool…. anyway, i gotta get going. lots of things happening today. if i can get everything done, i can take a day off tomorrow and go diving? ganbarimasu!!! have a nice day!!!

i was at sandy beach yesterday morning and the waves looked pretty fun. i wish i had my mcdonald’s tray so i could bodysurf….

i’ve been so dam busy that i don’t even have time to eat. so it’s been fast food for lunch. i’ve been eating so healthy until this week. check out my chinese plate lunch 2 days ago. roast duck and ginger chicken on rice from a chinese restaurant down my street. $7, not bad yeah??

then yesterday i went to rainbows and ordered my favorite chili plate with barbecue beef on the rice. $8, not bad yeah??

up until now, i’ve been eating healthy so i can still feel the oily chili plate in my stomach. when i was going to college, i use to eat at rainbows 3-4 x a week. sometimes 2 x a day. i haven’t gone there in a while so the chili plate was pretty heavy for me. i don’t think i’ll be going back there in a while… it’s time to eat healthy again….

and last, i was at the car body shop yesterday and saw an interesting sign.
“FAIL TO PLAN – PLAN TO FAIL”

get it? i do….

first, wanted to thank toda-san and takami-san for all the goodies from japan!!! i’m so happy…. i’m going to snack on oden with a glass of jacksan later tonight…. kanpai!!!

kelia japan update!!! ok, kelia’s first trip to japan is about 95% a go. things are falling into place as we’re trying to get her schedule planned. ticket is booked and if it happens, the dates are august 5-15th. don’t know exactly where we’ll be but keep you posted. i can’t wait!!!! but i know one place i’m taking her for sure, it’s 109 building in shibuya for shopping. i’ll drop her off there while i go back to shibuya station and visit Hachi-ko. i’ll probably end up waiting there for a while….

and last, the waves yesterday evening were pretty small. but if you waited for the right one, you could ride it for a long time…..

this japanese girl had some really good ones. as she was riding this wave, i was thinking to myself, “gosh, imagine coming from japan to hawaii and surfing a really long and fun wave with 3 other surfers as the sun goes down?” that’s how it was yesterday evening. if i came from japan, i’d be stoked. i live in hawaii and i’m still stoked… enjoy the ride!!!

What a Beautiful Day!!!
