good evening. earlier today, i had my mind set on eating a healthy lunch. so i drove to china town to eat at this pho place. i hear it’s the best pho on the island and when i got there, the line was so dam long. i’m too busy to be waiting in line….

so instead, i drove over to rainbow drive in and waiting in a car line in the parking lot. it was so packed… i ended up eating a huge chili plate with barbecue beef on the side. gosh, i felt like a pig after. i should have just waited for the pho yeah? i think so too….

then i went back to china town to buy my favorite!!! yup, right there….

grab a few shrimp for dinner? why not?

then go get my international drivers license. i can’t believe it’s still only $15…. so after running around town all morning, i came home at 12pm and was on my computer ever since. work will never end. i’m glad i play a lot because if i didn’t, i’d be stressing out….
**as for the surf today. it was small and windy. thank goodness because i got a lot of things done… as for tomorrow, i’m surfing no matter what….. have a great evening…

LUNCH IN CHINA TOWN….

good morning. 6am and it’s pretty dam windy and cloudy outside. a great day to work on my computer so that’s what i’m going to do. i checked the waves and it’s really small. actually the smallest it’s been for the past 3 months. is our best summer over? i hope not. i’m here for 2 more weeks and i want to get a few more barrels before i go to okinawa and get a few more. haha… gosh, i have a busy busy traveling schedule this year and i’m freakin ready. all i need is one surfboard, one spear gun, and one camera. oh, and my passport. since the airplane tickets from japan are so dam cheap now, i’m going to be on standby to fly to anywhere. even fly back home to hawaii for a few days if i can. i heard it’s only $190 for a round trip ticket so why not? anyway, i better get going because if i don’t finish up with my work, i can’t go anywhere…. have a nice day!!!


i was looking through some old photos yesterday. i found this one. i took this at a secret spot a few years ago from a secret mountain with snakes and monkeys. do you know where it is? pretty nice wave yeah? and if somebody can tell me who this is, i will send him this photo for his own memory. japan doesn’t get big often so days like these are the days to remember….


if i had to describe aki ogura in one word, it would be “COOL.”
i met aki about 5 years ago on a 2 week luxury boat trip to the maldives. we had a blast!!!
then last summer, we went on a trip to maui. that was super fun too!!
aki’s really photogenic and has different kind of looks in different kinds of photos.
this is my favorite photo of aki on that maui trip….
a pro bodyboarder that’s living out her dream in hawaii.
