she was born in this very day of 23 years ago

...and that is why we celebrated!

I am pretty sure that I have no talent in bowling.

I went home earlier than everyone else did 

just because I was exhusted. 

Amusument park and bowling with peolple

 I do not even know. in one day. 

too much for me. too much pressure... in many ways!

I'd been so nervous from the beginning of the day to the end.

but at least I could fall in asleep much easier than usual.

Winter-A-Go-Go

a housing complex with swimming pool. it was empty because it is winter, 

ticket, so Showa.

..so, we got on the Toden Arakawa line and went to Kishibojin-mae, 

However, the cafe we were supposed to go was unfortunetely closed, 

(Though I even double-checked last night and 

it says 2nd Wednesday is open, liar!)  

We just randomly ended up going to Arakawa Yuenchi-mae station.

freezing, yet such a beautiful day.

The "amusement park" (if it could be called so), 

betrayed our expectation in several manners.

there were only few people, mostly kids and olds there.

animals there looked all gave up and bored.

while we had this not-too-bad-but-flavorless lunch there 

(he had curry and I had chicken rice),

the announcement said it would close 30 min. earlier than usual.

its reason was too obvious.

we got on some awesomely dull rides like for 3rd graders too.

As to conclude, 

I very much like this place.

coffee, yakiniku, coffee

A cup of tea in Yoyogi-Uehara

extremely elegant thursday afternoon,
sitting on a fabulous sofa,
having a  flavorful cup of tea and scone.
and chat.

over and over again.

why it always goes like this???

but yeah, your right, i behave so obvious...

well, whatever, who cares.. actually people DO care, i know that.

up and down

I miss sweden sometimes. recently.

TOFU MORNING

I went to Nezu all the way down to have 

this special TOFU breakfast with my friend, around 9 AM.

There is this train-shaped bookshelf called 

"NEZU METRO LITTLE BOOKSHELF" in the metro station,

people feel free to borrow books from here,

 I guess all the metro stations should have each of those that would be much fun! 

only Japanese soy beans are used, even costs just 890 yen. 

healthy, delicious, and reasonable. not bad at all. 

"Please call a police if you see someone climbing this wall"

At night, city looked different through the car pane.

... My friend gave me a call and asked me to drive to Roppongi together. 

She picked me up at Asagaya Station and we went through Shinjuku Nishiguchi, 

finally arrived at  Roppongi Hills. We had some sushi rolls there.

I wonder what always makes me so excited just to be on a car in Tokyo.

I thought that may be because it reminds me of a scene of Lost In Translation 

but probably not.

Hot Spring in the far west Tokyo.

Unfortunately, the place we were supposed to go was, 

though it took 2hrs and more than 9 bucks, closed,

but still we had some warm good "Kamameshi", 

the hot pot mixed rice, and were able to see beautiful 

autumn leaves in the rain,prayed in the shrine of romance,

and nice outside hot spring(the view wasn't the greatest tho).

the water in the river looked completely clear and pure,

and so was the air! it was so refreshing, it is almost unbelievable 

that it is still Tokyo!Tokyo is vast.

good bye and see you sometime

Boutique Mon, 

where I had worked for a year is closing this month.

I Loved it when polishing 

some pairs of Pierre Cardin's vintage boots,

listening to Donovan and all the other 60-70's music as BGM. 

Lemon Milk or such.

This is a sort of milk 

which is very very sweet and tasting lemon. 

assuming it is very common around Tochigi region.

though I never had it (even heard of it!) before, 

I very much felt like I had had it 

when I was infant for some reason.

You and Me and Everyone We Know

colourful. sensuous. touching.

really, really love this film.
