Happy New Year!

Although annual fireworks lighted up the skies of Waikiki on New Years Eve, I decided to stay home and enjoy the fireworks in my neigborhood.

In Japan you can buy and enjoy fireworks year around but  here in Hawaii, you can only use firework on Independence Day and New Years and required  to have permits for purchase

First day of 2025 , I went to the gym after lunch ( the gym was open!) and after my workout I rode my bicycle to Waikiki

Campbell Stop & Shop Market is about a 5 minute bike ride from where I live. Its basically a convenient that sells drinks , snacks, cigarettes and beach supplies

2025 will be year of challenge for me. Instead of being overwelmed , I hope I can enjoy the process 

Looking forward to see you all at my lessons
