It's all about the balance.....

今週まで東京行って来た。クニのママの家泊まってくれたから暑いのにゆっくりも出来た。
今日は渋谷Mont Bellで１人でランチしました。タイグリーンカリー上手かった！800円で安かった！
その後outdoor　japanオッフィスまで仕事をしに行っちゃった。明日はデッドラインだから忙しい！
夜は五反田のwiredカフェでタイラーとParty Peopleのウエッブサイトアップグレード話出来た！来月末に良いウエッブ出るよ！翻訳サイトも今作り中からもう少しまってね！
今日クニはD３ちゃんと良い仕事出来たみたいから、アンジーもうれちいー！
いろいろあるけど、ライフは最高！みんな一緒に毎日スマイルしたいね。：）：）：）

最近波なかったけど、明日から上がるみたいね！台風来て来て！オーストラリアのスナッパーも最近良さそ！行きたいな！明後日からイラコのBillabongプロまで行ってきます。クニといっぱい頑張ります。
では、おやすみちゃん！

Another day in Tokyo, but life is pretty cruisy despite the heat thanks to mumma's house and her air con. Today I stopped by the Mont Bell store in Shibuya for a delightful Thai Green Curry lunch, 800yen! Stoked! Off to the OJ office for an afternoon of trying to make deadline by tomorrow, busy busy. Dinner at wired cafe with Tyler for free wireless complimented with tacos and a cold beer. We are in the process of updating the Party People site and producing the translation site, so watch this space. It's going to be bigger and better than ever!
Kuni had a great shooting today with his new D3 baby, which makes me stoked for him. Things go up and down, but there's no doubting that we are blessed and life is wonderful.

Snapper on the Goldy looks like it's had some nice waves lately....would love to get home for a bit.
No waves here lately but the typhoon swell is finally coming and should pick up from tomorrow.Nice timing for the Billabong pro, which Kuni and I are off to from Wednesday for a week of shooting and interviews. Hopefully sneak in a surf or 5 too!

So that's it and nighty night. See ya in Irako!

just chillin

最近ちょっとクニと一緒に暇なあって、波乗りは毎日くらいしてるよ。昨日くらいまでずっと波なくて、ロングか２ｆｉｎばかりけどね。アンジーもロング始まって、ショートのほうはぜんぜん簡単から私はロング下手クソ！ヤダ！早く上手くなりたいからまで小さい波で頑張ります。クニ先生お願いします。
犬達も元気してる。このあいだワタナベbroのデサインを気に入った！アイちゃんもパパと新しいおもちゃといっぱい遊んでた！笑！
最近オーストラリアに行きたい感じいっぱい出来て、今帰らないからガンマンだけど、行けたら良いね！と思ってるね！やっぱり、たまに女はママとゆっくりしたいね！！半年ぶりだから、ママの顔みたいけど、スカイプあるからよくインタネットで合ってるから大丈夫！オーストラリアも今冬だから、ぜんぜんガンマン出来る！千葉の夏は最高からね！

lately Kuni and I have had some time off and so have been surfing as much as possible, but because of the lack of waves it's been long boards all round, and even I've given it a shot finally! Although I think short boarding is a sooo much easier, and really suck at long boarding, it's definitely the thing to do when the waves are tiny so I'll be back out there on Kuni's 9 footer giving it another shot this summer for sure!
Dogs are good, playing in clothes from brother Watanabe! Ai has been playing with papa and their new puppy toys!
Been feeling pangs of wanting to go home lately, a girl needs to see her mum right?! But hey, we have skype and it's winter in Oz anyway, so I'll just have to wait it out and enjoy the great Chiba summer!

niceサーフ！

やった、昨日４時間くらい海入って、久しぶりサーフィン良かった！１回フィンがインサイドでスナップして、家に帰って2ndボード（ノースもスナップのに）取って、まだ海にダッシュで行った！クニが夕方撮影終って、アンジーの所に来て、ちょうどクニがパダルアウトして波がダメなっちゃった！ハハ！かわいそう！水も温かいし、カイパンもぜんぜん大丈夫。
終ったら、クニと一緒に焼き肉行っちゃった。幸せ！
夏は最高だね。この間、マリちゃんとプールでずっと遊んで、今度はサーフィンを教えたい！

Yesterday I surfed for 4 hours, and for the first time in ages it was pumping. Snapped a fin, dashed home and changed boards, even though my spare has a snapped nose-just the tip-and then went back and waited for kuni to come after his shooting, and would you believe it was good all day until he paddled out and then it went crap! ha ha, poor thing! ahh, water is warm, boardies season has arrived. Dinner was Yaki Niku......live is beautiful!
Mari and I played in the pool all afternoon the other day, next she is learning to surf!

Claude Maki Shooting

That ugly stanced surfing shot is me last year, god I hope I have got my act together by now! Had a really fun surf today with Kuni, lots of waves and warm water and just so long since we have been able to surf together! Another surf tomorrow me thinks!
