good christmas evening. gosh, what a cool day! i paddled out at 6 am and it was pitch dark! couldn’t see anything except the stars and the city lights. then it started raining so it really felt like a winter christmas wonderland. i caught as many waves as i could in the dark and as soon as it got lighted, all the surfers started paddling out. by then, i was done… then i surfed again after lunch at another secret spot. it was only me and one other guy. stoked!!. i think i have the surfing fever because i was hurt and couldn’t surf that much since august. and the cool part of it is that i can surf knee high waves up to 10′ waves and it feels the same. freakin fun!!! well, waves and waves on the way. so it surf, surf, and surf!!! see you in the water….


have you ever heard of this logical deduction game called Chocolate FIX? well, it’s a brain teaser and since it was made for 8 years and up, i took the challenge….


there are 40 different challenges starting from beginner to expert. you have to figure out which colored cupcake goes into which place using the clues provided. the beginner pages were easy, then i got to the expert and couldn’t do some of them. haha.. i’m not joking. it was so hard and you had to think of so many different combinations to get it right. remember the rubik’s cube? yeah, something like that. i spent hours and hours on it today. i hate these kind of games because it makes me frustrated. that’s why i quit and went surfing….

they sell this game at any bookstore in hawaii. go buy it and challenge yourself. the next time i go to a party, i’m taking this. fun, fun, fun… and frustration, frustration, frustration…..

**and last, wanted to congratulate keiko-san on winning the wishing bracelet. thanks for the photo of Three’s on christmas day. and yes, i bet it was crowded… merry christmas and the bracelet will be in the mail next week….[:?????$B!x(B???:]
