the beauty of hawaii - i really do love these islands
commentator: ed
hawaii is simply beautiful... period. sometimes though, the images that represents it isn't what you normally see. yeah, they have some kick ass sunsets and yeah beautiful wahines dancing on the beaches... but the problem is, you don't see that everyday. so what i'm trying to do here is to attempt to show what people can readily see from day to day activities... but with a pingol flair. =)
