Where is Miu?

by Mark on July 23, 2007

We’ve finally moved to a new place in Waikiki due to the tight living condition. This is a photo of Emiko’s Care Bears and her favorite characters. Can you spot Miu in there?

I guess my space would be the floor for now… chuckling and signing off…

I went out

by Mark on July 8, 2007

With months of no surfing and my complexion becoming lighter and lighter, I went out to surf yesterday afternoon and this morning. What a way to spend out in the beautiful ocean, blue skies, and the nice surf!! The waves were better this morning, but it still was nice to get out yesterday and surf with the sunny weather. Surf was good this morning at Pops, ranging in the 2 – 2.5 ft range. There were the usual outside and inside breaks. Met Blake, Craig, Tony, and Yasu. I need to surf more often and continue something that I cherished and destined each day. It’s summertime. =)

MUNAWAR PUNJABI ALI MOHAMED.

The title of the spam was quite interesting because this is what Muslims say when they greet one another. Having lived in Bangladesh long time ago, I wanted to find out what this was all about. This guy is telling me I can keep 30% of his investment and wants me to use 70% for a mosque here in U.S.? You gotta be kidding me…
