New cat

My parents home welcomed new cat who is just few months old! 

I can't wait to meet her until when I go back to Japan next time. 

I wonder she will attach to me. I'll take good cat foods anyway. 

So cute, isn't it?

Cooking Book

I didn't have a habit cooking before. 

Just only pasta and take away. But I completely tired of 

eating and my new flat has own kitchen. So I decided to 

study cooking myself. I brought a book which was 

presented by my aunt from Japan. 

The book name is "The easiest cooking class in the world". 

I've been trying to cook typical Japanese foods. 

It was so so even though my beginner level. I think there 

are two reasons one is japanese food and the other is with beer!!

Japanese Restaurant

I'll introduce proper Japanese restaurant in London. 

It is exactly authentic taste. This restaurant is 
named Tomoe which is located near Bond Street. 

It reminded me about Japan. Please try it!!

Cheers

We finished long project today.  

After that we cheered with glass of  whiskey and tasty 

scone. Basically I'm not good at drink whiskeybut I felt 

it was good taste.

Cheers!!

Back to UK

Today was good weather and party 

which included my welcome back party. 

I met coworker since for a long time. 

I spent fun time with them and felt back to MPC 

indeed. My second season in UK is just starting. 

I think this period would be turning point in my life. 

So I'll try to enjoy not only work but also my life AMAP.

Good luck my future!!

Diving License

I received PADI diver licence card today. 

I can dive anywhere. So the seas of the world are mine!!

Jealously

I've been trying to catch up them who influenced me. 

But they were already gone far away. I felt so jealously... 

It was amazing great work!!!

Working Visa

Gotcha!!! I got working visa in UK at last.

It was early process more than I expected. 

I'm so happy and feel relieve. I'll be back to London!!!

Fascination

It was first time to visit Okinawa. 

I wondered why so many people are fascinated. 

But I understood right away. Because I was really 

fascinated as well. There were good encounters

during this trip. 

I hope those would be continue until when I visit again.

Holiday

Sky Sea Sun Food and Beer... That's all.

Okinawa

It's already hot Summer in Okinawa!!

Internet Holic

Finally I got mobile Internet access. 

It's difficult to contract with short term in Japan. 

I had so trouble recently days. So I rented pocket 

wifi and got iPad impulsively. Now I'm like a fish 

which got water!! I realised I'm severe Internet holic 

but I can't no longer stop and live without that.

Shinjyuku Gyoen

I stopped off Shinjyuku gyoen by chance. 

This is like a Hyde park in Tokyo. 

There are so many people even though weekday. 

I should have taken my DSLR...

Wedding Party

I went to Nagoya to attend friend's wedding party. 

He always smiles so much but I saw he shed tears 

for the first time. I was impressed. And my ex coworker 

gathered for this party so it was like a reunion party. 

Really fun time!!

Cherry Blossom

Cherry blossoms already bloomed at Ueno Park. 

Beautiful!!

Back to Japan

My life in UK will finish today once. 

In retrospect there were so many memorable 

event during this one year half. It was biggest 

decision to move here in my life. I didn't have 

any job, friend even flat at first time. 

It was like a initialized myself. Everything was 

renewed and rerealized. Exactly great period. 

I really appreciate for all encounters. Fortunately 

I'll be able to come back UK in the near. 

Good bye for a while and see you again!!

Hero

When I was uni, Mayumi Miyawaki was my hero. 

I was influenced by him a lot about not only design

but also his life style. I brought his books from Japan 

and read since for a long time. It reminded me the days 

of uni and what I thought. 

Nowadays I'm far from architecture. But I realise now is 

the time should read again. He still influences me and my hero.

UK Summer

I finished work. But sky looks still bright. 

Summer has come in London at last. 

Good beer season as well!!

Moving

I'll move for preparation to go back to Japan temporary. 

This is 6 times include short stay. When I came here, 

I brought just only one suitcase but my luggage 

increased during for 1 year half. Every single moving 

I was exited what will happen for me from new life 

at new place. I hope it's gonna be fine this time as well!!

Cold Day

Today was so busy. 

But I finally got good crab stew. 

It was so tasty and good combination with 

such a cold today's weather!!

Cart Racing

I tried F1K cart racing. 

It was real race more than I expected and finally 

got 1st position even though second group!! 

I felt I have a talent of speed maniac. It was so fun.

Wedding

It was heart-warming ceremony.

Everyone smiled and really looked happy.
My movie got good reputation and my cameraman
work was also not bad. So everything worked well.
I'm released from pressure!! My mission completed!!

Country Bumpkin

I'm waiting for my flight to Japan. 

I had never been abroad until 28 years old. 

But after that I went to several countries and 

I'm working UK now. I feel I did fairly well 

considering me as country bumpkin before.

Trouble

OMG!! My laptop couldn't start suddenly last night. 

I pretended to think nothing happened. But reality 

has never changed this morning... 

My brother's wedding movie almost finished. 

But I didn't backup for a while. What's a bad timing:-( 

Come back!!

Wedding Movie

I'm making wedding profile movie for my brother.

I shot and interviewed them. It was so sweat story. 
They looks so happy and great couple. I'm really 
glad from my heart. 

But little bit too dazzling for me now...
Please share me their happiness!!!

Camera Man

I'll become bridal cameraman. 

So I bought speed light. It looks like a professional, 

isn't it? I had a rehearsal to show my wedding movie 

at hall. It was nice more than I thought. I'm feeling 

relieve and calm even though it was hard days to 

fix many troubles. I hope everything would be fine.

is only 500. 

It is so popular more than I expected...

Health

I had so bad cold since for a long time. 

I was sleeping in my bed all day today. 

I took medicines and tried Fiona's special 

hot whiskey recipe. Thanks for them,

Yesterday was my birthday.

I got special birthday cake from my coworker!!!
So surprised event and I was really really happy.  
My coworker are always so friendly and kindly.
I appreciate for them from my heart.

According to dictionary, so stupid meaning...
But everyone and I laughed so much because I
used by chance. For me it was special meaning.

It was exactly memorable birthday.

I finally arrived at London after 12 hours flight. 

My hometown is Japan but at the same time I 

feel London is already my second hometown.
