hanauma bay... snorkeling♥

those are all snorkelers!
i said i wouldn't but i did...erika encouraged me to try snorkeling and i'm so glad i did it!
i saw lotsa tropical fish but i missed out on the sea turtle chan
renting snorkeling gear wasn't expensive either

but i did get myself severely sun burnt... kinda hard to tell but my back was RED!
i purchased an underwater disposal camera as well... still need to get those developed..
i hope they turn out good!!

sunny day monday...!

yep, real blue seattle sky !

shots of elliott bay★ mind you, these are taken from my cell phone camera so the quality isn't that good... this day made me promise myself to never complain about coming in to work early anymore... i got to enjoy the sun after i got off ! yay for early shifts o_o

Hermosa Beach....

hermosa beach...!

hermosa beach is up north from where i live... if you take the PCH it's past Long Beach and Torrance... (quite a ways...)
hermosa is much more calm, laid back and personal..compared to huntington or newport...
nice beach houses are lined up by the beach, versus shopping malls and restaurants around HB..
apparently "the O.C" was shot at hermosa...but i wouldn't know that-erika would..!!

old friend...

i had the opportunity to meet up with an old friend of mine-garrett!
i think it's been about 6 years...wow!
i showed him around huntington beach and we grabbed some sushi..Mmmm!
he was still practicing japanese with me....same 'ol garrett!
