Strong coffee & flavored tea

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.

Christmas is coming soon. It is as a closing day of the year. What you have been working, What you have been taking care the most, they would become materialized on the day. Mr. Fuji from Gotenba Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man (1962) Gold and silver Earings

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.

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

Because it is a holiday, I sleep, sleeping to dream. You would be there, there to talk, talk with me. In a real life, you are always with someone, so am I. Make myself look happy, to protect from anyone seeing my mind. Search you, in without being noticed by anyone. In a dream, I can fly, flying high. In a dream, I see the ocean. It is so blue, so clear and so beautiful. When I awoke, remembering the aqua and that you were there with me.

It's a release day of Beaujolais Nouveau. Beaujolais red wine has became popular in Japan which is the first country to taste every year because of the dateline. The official opening date of the popular wine is fixed as the third Thursday of November. I had the wine as ritual of harvesting and good luck. Fritter of mushrooms & lotus

Our body won't last long, but thoughts stays longer. It will be a memory of soul and carry over the next life. It can't be easily change while you are without the body. So it is important to have positive thoughts while you are in this life. In Tibet

My friend told me I was crazy when I was planning to go to India in this summer. Indian joke, there are three seasons in the country, hot, hotter, and hottest. We could go to Ladakh instead of Rajasthan, where is more north part and its the best season is summer because of high altitude. Fort Rajwada Hotel (Jaisalmer) I'd love to go to Ladakh one day, but I just traveled to Tibet in May and Ladakh has more Tibetan culture rather than Indian. Also I got mountain sickness in Tibet, so I didn't want the same so soon. Room I always had a good feeling to Rajasthan. It's one of origin of bellydancing, in fact there are great dancing culture in the district. Anyway, we went to see sunset at Sam Desert. It wasn't really desert, there are lots of greens. Our guide said Army planted many trees on desert, and it caused rain, and climate changed. So they are no longer desert. Is that true?

Keyaki means zelkova tree in Japanese. Cafe is everywhere in Tokyo, which I love. I had quiche lunch, and it was really good. However, quiche is high in calories. Wheat flour and butter are fattening combination. Carbohydrate plus Oil makes you fat. Also I just read that there are three bad combination, which are all start with 'A' in Japanese. Amai mono(Something sweet), Abura (Oil), and Alcohol. If you really want to eat them, please pick only one, not to mix them on the same day (or meal). It was really delicious. . I miss non-nutritive foods. ..Really good (single-lens reflex version apps of iphone)

My holiday will be finished. I had 11 days off. The first half I went to Tibet, and the second half I came back to Okayama. It was a big earthquake happened on March 11 in east Japan, I had just 311 yuan left after the trip. Mother's cat died today. Cats seem pass away when I came home as if they had been waiting for me. Incidentally, it was the memorial service of our grandparents. I was enjoying to feel how the Buddhist sutra changes the atmosphere. And if there are any chances to see or feel the presence of ancestors. And think back of cat, I wondered who is there for her as when people are at death, someone comes to pick him/her up. I just wonder who will be there for cats. It's sad to see off your loved ones though, it's a good things to raise them. Again, it's a mother's cat. I'm thinking it's a cat's arrangement to leave from her mother when her daughter is together.

Clairvoyance is ability of multidimensional 'seeing' beyond five senses. Clairaudience is ability of multidimensional 'hearing' beyond five senses. Clairsentience is ability of multidimensional 'feeling' beyond five senses. Claircognizance is ability of multidimensional 'knowing' beyond own knowledge. Look upon the sky and live with it as it is a message board from something beyond us. And the way clouds change their shapes give you a great inspiration. Earthquake is act of God, but War is man made

The word of 'Sankan Shion (三寒四温)' is used in this season. That meaning is 'cycle of three cold days and four warm days'. It is the word for spring not autumn. The temperature swings wildly in spring. We look forward to see a normal spring scene soon! He enjoys the morning sun

We have seen empty display shelf at anywhere at shops in Tokyo since the massive earthquake happen. Simultaneously people started to stock up on various types of foods and stuff such as bottle of water, toilet paper, batteries, disposable diapers, etc. That is disgraceful deed. I understand why people want to prepare more because there are still big issues which are mainly concerned from the nuclear power plants accident. However, People in afflicted area are suffering right now. We have to consider of them and think what we can do for them. Today, I saw an advertisement on the way to work. It says 'The things we can do if we share with others'. 12 roll of toilet paper for 1000 people. 10 liter of gasoline for 4 times drive ambulance A loaf of bread for one family. A bottle of cooking gas canister for rice for 10 people. 5 kg of rice for 120 rice ball. A battery for Radio for 100 people. This is the office where the ads put on.
