White December

snow500.jpg
It's snowing up in the San Gabriel mountains right now. Past few days have been a little cold and rainy.
The news said they're expecting 16 inches by the end of this storm.  !!

I can't wait to snowboard. Never done it before, only skied since I was 6. I'm just a little excited to try
something new. Ok, that's a lie, I'm really excited.
 
Counting down till that day... (soon!)

Crazy Weather in Hawaii


It's been raining a lot here in Hawaii lately.  it was raining non stop last week.  when the sun finally came out, the water was DIRTY!!
kaz034.jpg
Hawaii State Department of Health even came up with "brown water warning".  what is it?  it basically says if the water is brown, don't go in the water.  after seeing the photo above (Haleiwa photo: Bearnie Baker) i want to see anyone who wants to go in the water! 

even more crazy thing is, they held the pipe master one day after the above photo was taken!  i've heard a couple of surfers from the contest got sick after the contest.  check out the nasty water!  at leat the waves were really good...  i guess.

i was craving some local food tonight so i went to one of my all time favorite place on the island, yama fish market!

i love this place!  my favorite, #7 lau lau, kalua pig, with lomi salmon!

one last thing.  i was checking out a japanese surf magazine and this is what i saw!
kaz038.jpg
Taid and Dowmy!  they are wetsuit shampoo and softner.  they didn't even try to make the logos different! i wonder if people at Tide detergent and Downy fabric softner know about them?  ha ha

I got this icebox where my heart use to be

cold.jpg
Been getting a lot colder here. Rain since Saturday, which made me miss the Rose Bowl flea market (I 
swear I'm cursed), Christmas decorated streets and music oozing out of shop doors. Good luck to you
all working in retail. I know how hectic it gets! Only a few more weeks left and you're freee! But until then,
take your tylenols and count backwards from 10 or 100, depending on how bad the anxiety gets. -_-

it's finally starting to get cold over here. people are out shopping for christmas trees, presents, decoratio-
ns, and anything you can possibly think of. they're out there, in crowds, armed with shopping carts, running 
over toes and weaving through one another in malls. it's a little overwhelming at times for me,
especially when fighting through traffic at rush hour, after work, when i need to use the bathroom. and it
never fails on the freeway, that one guy just WON'T let me in when i'm sitting there w/ my blinker
light begging my way through. I seriously feel like having major meltdowns sometimes during the holidays.
 
but i always remind myself of the good things believe it or not. i'm thankful for the life i have and the people
in it :D. merry christmas to everyone, wherever you are.

Unplanned Photo Session at Rocky Point

Chris called me up this morning cuz he didn't have school today and he was wondering if I wanted to go shoot.  I knew North Shore was good so off we go!!
Rocky Point was the spot!  The waves were good and not crowded! 

Gotta protest the face!  I don't know what tribe he's from...  ha ha

Kainoa showed up right when Chris and I got there.  Crazy, cuz it wasn't even planned.

Okay, that's cool enough right?  I guess not for him cuz he can't be going backward rest of the wave. So he does it again, now going backward.

Northern Colors

been gone for a while. headed to northern california for thanksgiving & were without internet. hope 
everyone had a good and safe one. we had a really nice time, even got to check out a few surfing
spots for ron down at golden gate. i give all those guys (fully suited) credit for surfing in water that
cold! i can't handle the cold that well, but i'm learning! 
 
took these in san jose. there was a gingko tree right outside. i'm completely in love with the colors
of fall and all things associated. the leaves were florescent yellow and fell on the sidewalks like brightly
colored snow. can someone plant like a million of these guys in la? please?
