See you on October 7!

Finally, ER, my biggest favorite TV drama, comes to the final season.
In Japan, the Season 15 will start on October 7.
Happy and excited to see it, but so sad for the end.


One of my colleagues introduced me ER, but it took me other 4 years to start watching. Since then, so many memories with this drama.

DESPERADO on Youtube

I sang this song on Karaoke last week, but could not sing as I wished.
OK, now, let's practice.
I found this on Youtube, and like it and the translator so much.
There are some phrases that the person did different from mine, but still so good.
Very natural translation.

Support music! Shakira - Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) (The Official 2010 FIFA ...

So nice song for supporting FIFA in RSA!

"Summer Horn" by Jun'ichi Inagaki

Today's BGM to the office!

Life

I've been attending a photography class at Sakurazaka Citizen's College. The photo shooting practice was held at South East Botanical Garden.

Silvia of El Salvador

Silvia (or Sil) was one of my trainee in 2008.
After the first session of mine, she said "you look like my mother".
Oh...I could have such a beautiful & grown-up lady as my daughter??
And biologically, it is not impossible :)

A new trainee from the same organization as Silvia brought them for me.
I heard that Silvia made them for me!!
Knowing that she still remember me and made them for me really made me happy.


Thank you, Silvia!

Kenya and Tanzania

Tanzania has become an additional destination of our biz trip.

Africa!

Well, here is one of my big favorite songs by TOTO in 1982.


And today, I received an announcement that our proposal to conduct a follow-up activity in Kenya was approved!
Yes, I'm really going to visit Africa.
This case, Kenya, I mean.

It will be my very first business trip abroad.

Sound of Music | Central Station Antwerp (Belgium)

I wonder when I will visit Zalzkammergut next!

My Second Design

To comemorate my present training group, I, again, made this for everyone.
The jacket of a commuter's mug - so called tumbler.

A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procol Harum

I did not know that "Procol Harum" is a name of a group. I just thought it was a name of a male singer...

But anyway, the music is so beautiful!!

Angela Aki Performance -from YouTube

I am a fan of Angela Aki. This is a video clip from her concert.
I've been to her concert twice, and she does this kind of cover of others titled "Angela Aki's English Class (アンジェラ・アキの勝手に英語で喋らナイト)".

The way I will go

We are expected to do same job in our team, though there are two payment systems in us.

It was the headache for me since I got to know about it.

Many companies and orcanizations in Japan have adopted strange employment system called "haken". Mine is not haken, but similar, I believe.

Why do I keep working here??

I've struggled long.

.....The answer I found was that I like my job.

I may be only used by those main islanders, but I got through thie agony.

If I continue to work, I work happy because I like my job.

Cherry blossoms turned to be cherries.

I also bare fruits of my long agony of thinking.

I am happy now.

This year, "Facilitation skill" and "Photography for IEC/BCC activity" will be my way to go.

Something I remember now

I wonder now how far I've come through since I was in the Swing Choir class in Seattle.
I miss that time.
