 i have no idea.  latte?  expresso?  frappuccino?  what is all that?  when i was going to college 25 years ago, all there was was coffee.  either black, or with milk or sugar.  and that was the last time i drank coffee.  yesterday, i go to a cafe and order a Thai Latte, thinking it was tea.  when i got it and took my first sip, i tasted the strong coffee.  and since i don&#8217;t like to waste, i drank it all.  shortly after, i felt the coffee buzz!  just kept on talking and talking to Kaori-san like i was on a drug or something.  i hope i didn&#8217;t scare her.  haha.  then i came home at 7pm.  usually i eat dinner, shower, and sleep by 9:30pm.  but last night was different.  i was cleaning my garage, i was watching tv, i was eating snacks, i was doing head stands, and next thing, i was in bed at 11:30pm.  tossing and turning, just couldn&#8217;t sleep.  felt like it was morning.  felt like surfing or diving or anything.  kept on looking at the clock and the last thing i remember, it was 1am.  woke up at 3am and couldn&#8217;t go back to sleep.  omg, i will never drink a thai latte ever again.  i seriously thought i was on drugs!  i could feel my heart beating so fast!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3777.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3777-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3777\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53363\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nso this morning, i went to calm myself down by going to yoga.  been going a lot recently, in fact, almost everyday.  good to see the same people enjoying the peaceful time.  many japanese there too so making new yogi friends.  i haven&#8217;t seen so much healthy and happy people all in one room at the same time.  when i looked at this photo of myself, i look like i had a party night with a major hangover.  but just a little cup of thai latte did this to me.  haha.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3779.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3779-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3779\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53362\" \/><\/a><br \/>\ni went to return the dive buoy and flag i found floating in the ocean last month.  i walked into sunshine scuba and the japanese owner happened to greet me.  i told him i found his equipment floating in the ocean.  he was very thankful and offered me a tshirt.  i told him it&#8217;s ok.  but he insisted and insisted.  i kept on saying no and no.  but after he said &#8220;please please take it,&#8221; i took it.  now i&#8217;m a 5 star sunshine scuba crew!  stoked!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3775.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3775-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3775\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53364\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nthank you Kana-chan for the wonderful gift from japan!<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3776.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/go-naminori.com\/kirbyfukunaga\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_3776-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_3776\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-53365\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nthank you Megumi-san for the honolulu cookies!<br \/>\nthe weird weather continues.  be patient because summer is right around the corner.  good night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>what is a Thai Latte?
