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...

Time Management

We all have the same problem, how to manage the time. The world is getting busier and busier especially after IT revolution,  it's expanding day by day and year by year. Now people are going to live in Mars? It sounds crazy, but think about it as option. Life would be fun if you have more options. When we pay attention to many things, our mind getting busy as well. Some people might stop thinking because they can not handle it. But I can't stop it now,  we should watch carefully the world. It would be better world if it was watched by people who are caring. Recently I started to make a list for weekend. At work, I have been doing it for long time and it works. So I make a to do list for weekend too. When we have too many things to do, we tend to spend time on unnecessary things, don't we? So making list is something as making a frame. Frame that decorates our dream.

Jazz and citrus tea

The time required for someone,  to listen to Jazz, to appreciate paintings, and to write something not die without it but life will be no meaning without them. Time is getting shorter and shorter. Do you realize that? It's not because you are getting older, it is actually accelerated. There are more young looking person these days? I'd rather to say that they are younger than their ages. I'm kidding, but it might be true. What do you believe then? You can trust even a clock. (I don't trust TV or papers for 100%) Hear is a solution. Care for your body, clean up your space and clear your mind. Why? If you keep doing so, you will be able to distinguish between truth and false, necessary and unnecessary, correct and incorrect.

A Rambling Post on the Second Last Day of 2015

Somehow it feels refreshing at the end of the year in Japan. Ever office, shop and people take a holiday and spend time with families. All houses are get ready to welcome a new year god to the houses by cleaning them up. And people buy groceries at the super markets like  hibernating throughout winter. I bought a lot of books on Kindle. They have gotten more collections these days than they used to be. I read Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on Christmas, admired Fred that he is always cheerful and never been untruth to Scrooge. Tree lights at Roppongi BB-8 is our new hero I watched Star wars episode VII on the Christmas too.  Just baked cake in the oven  And baked tube cakes a few times.  A packages of rice cake stuffed with bean jam One thing good about getting age is to appreciate how beautiful nature of  a spirit of service is. Moreover we can turn inwards and examine ourselves.

Something Sticky

Something easy to stick is mind. Since we have been looking for a counterpart who got separated before we born, tend to have illusion that there is something brilliant outside not thinking it might be inner self. And even it is not what you are looking for, you might stay there for a while to rest wings.

Ho'oponopono

Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Those simple mantra sounded out repeatedly. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you. It heals and cleanses yourself and the situation as well as karma. I like saying this while I'm relaxed in a bath since there is not much other activities. It is simple, yet powerful. Thank you is a good word. It has the best vibration. When you learn other language, it comes first to remember, isn't it. Merci-French Gracias-Spanish Shukran-Arabic Arigato-Japanese Kamsa hamnida-Korean Xie xie-Chinese etc, etc. Forgiveness is tough one, isn't it. You might think, why I have to forgive? He did this, she said that, they hurt me... It much easier to release those feelings than carrying them forever. It is as muscular training. You get loads to increase your power and energy. Those events are past and only yourself are present. Forgiveness is an essence of love. ...

St. Patric day

Kobe

Kobe is located in Hyogo prefecture which is between Osaka and Okayama. It was once the capital of Japan in 1180. It lasted only 5 months. Ikuta shrine, somehow the guardian lion dogs in this place are manly. Turkish apple tea for lunch in Turkish restaurant. I asked if they could make pizza without meat, though the lady said surprisingly that they were supposed to be provided together. And she added, it was a rule. The shop wasn't busy at all. You may say the foods are already mixed so it is not easy, etc. Then I wouldn't mind. But I wonder what rule are they. She just made it for herself and it symbolized her narrow world. She may be right but not nice. So I ordered just cheese salads and the apple tea. But I also wonder I had unpleasant event today it is because I, too, have some persisted ideas in somewhere so this may give notice that.

More blog and I'm now in Osaka

The one I posted by my iPhone using Blogger app looks ok as well as the picture. How convenient it is! Now I'm at Tully's coffee in Osaka and waiting for a bus. Now I can tell more specific about my life, can't I? Battery runs so fast. I love this place. My new nail. I took the earliest morning air plain from Tokyo. Mt Fuji from the craft.

Salt Shrine

'Shio-gama Jinjya' is shrine of the salt that has the most purifying salt in Japan. There are some way to climb, the most powerful visit is going by the main gate called 'Otoko-zaka' which means 'man slope'. The picture below is Otoko-zaka. I didn't find woman slope in the map though. It was a sunny spot. According to the book, this step purifies all your bad luck in the past and give a new luck... Shishi-mai looks solemn. It looks like there are salt on the steps. How the effect of this shrine? I could wake up early next morning and am writing my blog after long period. This shrine is located in Miyagi prefecture where is the one of affected areas of 311 Earthquake & Tsunami.

Website

I have made home page for my friend for a first try. It was a homework of summer holiday. I didn't do any special things other than that.

Holiday

Holiday is over. I came back to Tokyo. This summer is very very hot.  When Japanese people say 'very', it is pronounced 'belly',  and I often say 'belly' for belly dancing.  It is unvoiced thought though.

Telepathy

Communication beyond the use of words using telepathy can also be possible.

Tea Time @ Ise

Japanese tea and bean jam cake at Ise shrine. Your thoughts, words and attitudes may cause of peace for the world.

Sky of Ise
