Second Best?

It's a thanksgiving day, which is a holiday in Japan.

Beaujolais nouveau of the year is released on third Thursday of November

Cheese is a good friend of wine, first time to cook macaroni and cheese

100g of macaroni and variety kind of cheese including cheddar, sliced onion, nutmeg, 
fresh herbs, milk and bread crumbs on top
Taste of home cooking?
We call it 'Ofukuro no aji' (Mums food taste)

Walking in Kappa-bashi to find kitchenware


And found a beautiful Miso-soup bowl


While I was drinking Beaujolais nouveau on the Thursday night,
I remembered the voice recode that was from a Japanese counselor lady who was living in the UK.
She does the business on the internet and I purchased it in 2012.

She read my email and did remote reading and replied in the voice message.

It was easy to find the file in my PC so I listened to it after a long time.

I found it that there are not much changed since then.
She mentioned my aura was hazy because I was not living as a best but the second.

But what is wrong with living a second best?

I suppose almost all people to live with compromise at some point.

Anyway, to find my best, I came to the cafe to write this blog.

Cafe Jubilee is in Shirogane-dai 

From shop, I had french roasted coffee


Thank you for reading and have a nice thanksgiving day!

always a pleasure to read your posts. I didn't realize Thanksgiving was also a holiday in Japan, thought it was only an American event.

Thank you for your comment Mark.
Yes, it used be an original cerebration day which was for Imperial family and prayed of harvest
but switched into American meaning by GHQ after WWII.

Folding Keyboard Ryudo

Today is Aquarius new moon. Write down 10 wishes on the paper or note. Handwriting is key. This is folding keyboard, the maker is Ryudo. I was interested, but hadn't had long years. Because I have laptop. But we don't bring computers daily, do we? So I started to think, if I had that, I might write more often... Before buying it, I investigated which keyboard was the best as there were so many kinds. First of all, It has to be light, otherwise, it will stay at home. And thought of the place where I mostly would use... it would be on a train, not a cafe as I commute long hours every day. So it has to be small and quiet.  I don't want to bother others. If I use a keyboard on my bag when I seat, my iPhone needs to place to stand, Ryudo is compact, ideal typing and has a stand. It's not very strong but enough to hold my iPhone 7 plus. One thing I cared was that Ryudo was battery powered not chargeable. So I looked over all ot...

Oh Japanese..

I've been reading Hard boiled Wonderland and the End of the World by Haruki Murakami lately. His expressions are soooo good that I can't help making a note while I'm reading. His descriptions are amazing. I read the book on the commuting train and if there's any line that I am impressed, I take out my mobile and text it to my PC e-mail. Thus, I'm busy on the train, especially my commuting hour has been shorted since I moved. I miss long time train trip a bit. My neighbourhood photos. -Japanese- 今村上春樹の『世界の終わりとハードボイルドワンダーランド』を読んでいます。 彼の表現力は素晴らしくてついついメモをとってしまいます。 彼の本は評価が好きな人は大好き、良さが分からない、と分かれますが 私は彼の表現に感動する事が多いです。 通勤電車の中で読んでいて、素敵だ、と思うラインがあると 携帯を取り出し自分のパソコンにメールをしてしまいます。 なので電車でとっても忙しい・・。 引っ越して通勤時間が短くなってしまったので 以前のような長い通勤時間も懐かしい気がします。

Asian thoughts

At lunch time, I went out with my company friends, one is French who married an European woman and the other guy who’s from Singapore and is still single. Three of us are about the same age, those two guys are the same year born. The French guy asked the Singaporean if he was going to get marry and he wanted to have own kids. The Asian guy answered “Not in this life”. It’s not surprising to me, I know many guys who have the   same idea, but I liked the way of he talks, “Not in this life” it was said as if there was another life time from the same person, which is called reincarnation, very Buddhism, and very Asian. It was the coolest answer to this kind of question, don't you think? 1974 produced wine at some weekend home party. Japanese お昼に会社の同僚、一人はフランス人でもう一人はシンガポール人と3人でランチに行ったときの事。 フランス人はヨーロッパ人の奥さんが居て、シンガポール人はまだ独身です。 3人とも同じぐらいの年で、彼たちは同じ年です。 フランス人がシンガポール人に「結婚しないの?自分の子供はほしくないの?」 と聞いたら彼は「現世ではない。」と返事。 同じような意見を持っている男の人はたくさん居るので別に驚いたりしないけど、 返事の仕方が洒落てる。「現世ではない。」と言う事は来世を信じている...
