Sky Watch Friday**the sunset like friendships

There was an small incidence at work and I felt down.
Oh, I can’t put up with it…. I thought. And I felt down carmly.
Actually I hanged in there and managed it. So I was in a freefall slowly and carmly.
I emailed a friend of mine in the bathroom of work and called my sister after working overtime. But I couldn’t feel up.
When I went to an electronics retail store since I decided to get my mother-in-law i-Pod,
I called my friend from college on her cell phone.
She didn’t take it. That’s why I knew she worked yet.
She finishs working around at 8:30 at night. I didn’t get seeing her. So I wasn’t gonna wait for her and I went to the basement of an department store. I thought I could buy the expensive meat and fish if I wouldn’t eat out and looked for something good. But I ended up not buying anything. Coloful cute manicures caught my eyes on my way to the station and I stopped by the shop. When I picked up a manicure of melon color, the friend called me and said“ Aya? What’s up? “
I asked her she had plans at the night. And she answered her husband waited for her at home. I felt bad for her husband and I hanged up not to say anything to her.
I saw beautiful colorful manicures again. And then she called my cell phone again.
She said “ “ I already called my husband. So I can see you. Where are you now?”
I felt sorry for her husband but I was more than willing . she said “ Your voice sounded lonely. “ to me later.
The tender time that she made soothed me.
I didn’t know why but I felt lonely at the night.
I was gonna tear if I wasn’t be careful.
I’m a happy woman to have the best friend who cares me sometimes more than even her husband.
Friendships are really priceless.
By the way this is the sunset from a train called “ Yurikamome”.
The tender sunset like friends is warm like spring.

Happy sky watch Friday

it might be a dream

　

Was it about a week ago? I saw cherry blossoms in full bloom in the sky but it might be
a dream…….

I've got a feeling

Last week it was really fun to jog while seeing cherry blossoms at night!
I could say cherry blossoms in the afternoon look like teen-age-girls and cherry
blossoms at night look like sexy and mysterious women in their late twenties.
When you see cherry blossoms in the afternoon, they would be purely beautiful.
But when you see them at night, you’d feel like a devil living and even if you knew
you don’t have to go there, you couldn’t stop going there.
Speaking of which, how was I when cherry blossoms bloomed last spring?
I’m just remembering….last spring I just got transferred and I had tough days
since I couldn’t get used to my job and being at the division.
I went through the hardness of the job and the relationships at work.
It’s so much fun this spring more than last spring.
I’ve got a feeling I’m having many lucky things this year.

jogging while seeing cherry blossoms

Last friday I jogged from work to a stationon my way home after a long time.
I jogged for an hour and a half hour. An hour and a half hour is very good time
to jog comfortable. I wasn’t tired and it felt very nice.
Wherever I went, cherry blossoms were in the full bloom.
Couldn’t be happier when I jog under sucha a beautiful cherry blossoms.
When I jogged last year, I found a place where cherry blossoms were very beautiful.
So I stopped by there.
Many people drank with their friends or famiy. Under the cherry blossoms.
Some people ate something that they brought and some people cooked there like BBQ.
I emailed attached pictures my sister’s family and my husband many times and we
went drinking to Izakaya restaurant near my house.
My husband said “ I don’t wanna go home yet. Why don’t we go to Karaoke till in the
morning. “ But I had to go to work on the following day. So I couldn’t.
I went to bed right away since I was sleepy. My husband fell asleep right away even
though he said “ I don’t wanna go home yet. “
In Japan speaking of spring, it’s dawn. Night might be short in spring.

Cherry blossoms after a dream

WBC was over. So I felt like waking up from my dream.
When I waked up from it, cherry blossoms are starting blooming.
Isn’t it really fantastic!?
This weekend it’s the best time to go and see cherry blossoms.
Unfortunately I have to go to work even on Saturday.
But I jogged while seeing cherry blossoms at the park near my house after work.
The cherry blossoms are not in full bloom but I enjoyed jogging while listening to
Mamma mia under cherry blossoms.
By the way this picture is cherry blossoms that I saw when I jogged last Saturday.
The blue sky and pale pink is so beautiful!

Today's flower ** very best holiday

Yesterday I met up with my mother and my sister’s family and jogged at the side of the river where you can see wild birds and beautiful flowers.
We left home at around 12:30 and got home around at 4 in the afternoon.
We jogged and sometimes walked but at least we jogged about for two hours and a half hour. We enjoyed jogging while seeing beautiful various things.
Yes, it was comforting but we weretired a little bit.
We were able to see Alcedo atthis, egret, cormorant, canard and various unfamiliar wild birds. In addition we saw wild flowers called “ Katakuri “.
We jogged while talking with each other since it was a long way. So it felt very good.
When we realized my sister and her husband jogged right behind even though they jogged way back on the way home.
My mother said “ Oh, they’re coming! Aya! Don’t lose! “
So I dashed as fast as possible! I couldn’t dash that fast!
They weren’t able to beat me but I got exhausted.
We took a break while drinking coffee. And then we went to the large public bath.
I know it but going to the large public bath after jogging was fabulous!
It was the best holiday we jogged for few hours and took a bath at the large public bath.
We went to the glosery store and my mother made dinner.
My husband came later and everybody started to drink.
When my husband sees my sister and her husband, they can enjoy drinking.
Even if one of them can’t come, they can’t enjoy drinking.
They look fun while saying “ Getting all members together, we gotta drink! “ each other.
When we got home, my husband said “ Why don’t we go drinking to somewhere! “over and over.

Today's flowers

couldn't be happier

It’s really happy Japan wins WBC title.
How great Japanese players are!
And how incredible Ichiro is!
He looks very good also his play is really great. I respect him because he keeps
making many efforts.
But much more impressive thing is his word.
He said “ I thank to all people who cheered us up. “
These days there are many things that I get disappointed about Japan
when I see news on TV. And I admire other countries more than Japan.
I don’t like Japanese people’s nervous face and Japanese nitpicky character.
I’m jealous of western people’s easy-going characters like Manma Mia.
But seeing Ichiro, Japanese is really attractive!
I can think of it from him.
Thank you for such happiness!
Couldn’t be happier!
I never forget this feeling!

Tokyo Marathon 2009

The third time Tokyo marathon was held today.!
Every year we left home around 6:30 in the morning.
There is an atmosphere that people are exicited and kind of nervous in the west entrance
of Shinjuku station.
There were much more people who cheered someone up than last year.
So we couldn’t find mother around at the point of 10km.
We waited for her at the point of 20km,32km and 40km and cheered her up while
saying “ Keep going! “ aloud.
Every year we run on the side of the road while cheering her up. So we’re really tired
even if we don’t run full marathon. But seeing her, it was really lucky she was able to
run the marathon. And we also feel happy for her.
She is over 60. But she didn’t slow down and her time was the same as Pro athlete.
There are a lot of task in life. But I thought it’s OK you do even one of them hard
and you get confidence from it.

Mamma Mia !

　

Last Wednesday I went to movies to see Mamma Mia with my sister.
We had thought nobody was there but it was fully packed.
We sat on the seat of the third row and enjoyed seeing powerful visuals in the front of the screen.
In the first place I was gonna enjoy myself. So I sang songs shaking my body like live concerts!
A little foreign kid who sat diagonally forward left waved to the screen.
We wanted to stand up and dance with actresses but nobody did that since Japanese people are shy. So we couldn’t do it.
My sister looked impressed and said “ I couldn’t stand sitting there. Don’t you want to dance? “ to me.
After getting home I sang songs while seeing you tube.
Speaking of which, why western old men and old women are soooo cooooool?
They’re completely bright and really energetic. They look like truly living.
Everything is bright in this movie.
Meryl Streep also her friends are sooooooooo COOOL!
Of course Pierce Brosnan is really HOOOOOT! You know he was Bond in movies before.
I wanna live brightly like them. Even if I was worried about something, I wanna live optimistically. I got the movie soundtrack.
Next time I’ll get the DVD and see it in the small home theater at my sister’s house while drinking and dancing!
By the way this is a restaurant in Whistler.
I really like completely bright western people.

I like people

How's your life going?
Recently I've been busy at work.
Sometimes I feel down and sometimes I have a full energy.
Sometimes I thank to people at work and sometimes people at work annoy I think.
Relationships are annoying sometimes but relationships are very fun.
There are lot of things in life.
And even if you live in other countries, it's the same as me.
I found out it after reading maria's comment.
Thank to Maria.
by the way maria, this picture wins at work:)

Spring has come!

My husband made sour sweet pork on the previous day of girl’s day.
But I couldn’t eat it since had already dinner.
On the following day I worked overtime and it became our main dish for dinner.
I’ ve been really busy at work.
But I have full energy now.
I’m feeling really nice.

Is it good? or bad?

　

Last week there was a pleasant thing last week.
My picture win a prize at a contest of my company.
My company is using my picture for some poster or something.
I’ve liked seeing pictures and drawings since a student but I didn’t use to be interested
in taking pictures. I started taking pictures since I started posting blog.
It was good to enjoy taking pictures easily.
By the way this is branch last Sunday.
I used to eat bread for breakfast. These days I eat rice for breakfast once a while.
Probably I can save household fees and it’s low in calories.
But I have to clean more dishes than when we eat bread. So I wanna cut down dishes
as possible as I can. So I got plates that have gap.
On the other day I said an older woman who works after getting married “ You’re great.
Because you work also do house works hard.”
Then she said “ I quit making dinner on week days. Why don’t you do that? It’ would be
very good for you. “ to me.
It’s OK for her. But I don’t wanna do it…..
I wanna work kind of hard but also do house work kind of hard.
Put it better, valance is good butput it worse, I’m not a real career woman.

Sky Watch Friday **** couldn't be happier

On the following day it was brilliant sunny that was different from the previous day.
We sweated a little and felt like wearing too much.
Even in February it was already spring.
I saw water from melting snow flowing from the top to the down from the lift.
Snow was already heavy but I was able to enjoy snowboarding.
My sister snowboarded really well on the day and she competed against me when we
snowboarded from the top of the mountain.
Snowboarding together is fun like that.
We stopped snowboarding when we wanted to do it one more time.
Getting back to the B&B and we took a bath.
We used the room that wasn’t usually used since we were kind of many people.
That’s why we were able to put the baggage in the room after checking out.
In addition, we were relaxed after changing clothes.
We made fool of the name “ hutte “ but this “ hutte “ was the best because they
allowed us to use the room.
It was not fancy but B&B that is flexible like this is more comfortable than hotels.
You can walk inside the establishment with slippers also PJ.
couldn’t be happier when I don't push myself.

Happy sky watch Friday

the sun like Dragon Ball

　

I went snowboarding last weekend. It was my first snowboarding this year.
My husband has been busy these days and there is few snow this warm winter.
So this is my first time and might be last time to go snowboarding.
In the morning when we go snowboarding I always don’t wanna get up since it’s warm
inside the bed.
But snowboard is fun.
I hope I go snowboarding one more time this year.
By the way this picture is a Dragon Ball of the sun that I saw on the express way.
Dragon ball became a Hollywood movie. I wanna see it I might laugh because it’s funny.

dinner cruise*

I enjoyed dinner cruise for company trip in Yokohama.
After getting in the room it’s the same as drinking at establishments.
But we enjoyed seeing beautiful scenery at night out of the windows an cold comfortable
winds felt good when I took pictures outside.
Actually I’m not in the mood to drink since I had a hangover two weeks ago.
When my husband drank on holidays and said “ Why don’t you drink? “, I didn’t want to
drink at all.
Probably I drank amount of alcohol for few months.
By the way when we took a train to Yokohamam I was kind of shocked when I heard
something from a younger female coleague.
She lost 5 kilos for three months.
She looks slim in the first place. But in addition, she lost 5 kilos!
I felt like slapping my cheek.
Even though I spent time with her, but I didn’t change at all.
I gotta make efforts from now on like her!

Gee....

　

I couldn’t use my PC from Friday night since my PC was infected with the virus.
My laptop is very old. So I can’t install new soft because there isn’t enough memory.
Of course some problems happen often.
But I haven’t paid back 100 thousand yen out of 240 thousand yen that I lost two years
ago. In addition, I borrowed 250 thousand yen to go to school for sweets.
I can’t buy new laptop…..
But I use laptop everyday. I have to use money for laptop already.
By the way speaking of using money, I used money for my hair.
My hair looked gold by the sun shine because my hair was damaged.
That’s why I had my hair colored dark blown.
A part of gold hair turned black like a little bit blue and every time I saw my black hair
in the mirror, it looked very fresh and strange.
But after two weeks the hair turned brown already.
Gee, is it a waste of money?

Sky Watch Friday **** TGIFriday

　

We don’t have to work overtime these days. But I’m busy in the beginning of the month.
So I can’t finish my work till the finishing time at work.
I’m arrowed to work overtime instead of getting home earlier in the end of the month.
Getting home earlier is not fun when you’re forced.
When someone make you do something, it’s not fun.
Human is funny, right?
When I work overtime, I think I don’t cook anything at all or it’s lucky time to buy fish
inexpensive at the basement of the department store.
The night before the last night I felt like it and went to the fishshop in the basement of
the department store.
It was not too late and too early. It was very good time for good deal.
A man lowered the price of sardine.
It was shinning because of being fresh and I was able to buy them only for 300-yen.
Only two boxes left but I got one of them.
Much sardine, Sashimi of natural tuna, Mitsuba leaf and spinach came to 750-yen.
I like fish like sardin so I was imagining I cut them and put it soy sauce and eat it.
After getting home I made sauce for tuna, soaked them, cleaned sardine and put them
in fridge. Of course I ate some while cleaning and cutting.
By the way last night I put a little bit sweet miso with Chinese leek and dried Japanese
plum and thin ginger on the Japanese basil and rolled them with sardin.
And then I fried them.
It was very good but I didn’t take pictures because I wanted my husband to eat it hot.
Sometimes you feel so?
By the way this picture is the sunset in Nara.

I wanna be relaxed in a temple of Kyoto

It’s hard to survive for even TOYOTA that is major car company in the world in this term.
Of course my company is sharply lower profits that we hadn’t seen before.
Temp stuff and employee hasn’t gotten laid off yet but we can’t work overtime and
we have to hold a meeting on TV not going away on business.
We gotta cut down on expenses.
If we work overtime, we have to come home earlier than usual on other days.
Our chief push us.
A strong female employee said “ It’s not possible. I do it as hard as possible! What are you
seeing? “ to him angry. Then she said “ “ He doesn’t see how we work hard and he thinks
about only his grade.” Aloud in a whole day.
So the atomosphere at work is not good.
We can’t work overtime. That’s why we don’t have a space in mind and work hard
and nervous.
So I sometimes feel sick and have a heavy headache.
I wish tomorrow was Friday!
I wanna be relaxed and go jogging and go to a large public bath.
By the way this is a garden in Daitoku-temple.
I wish I went there by bicycle.

This story is the story one week ago……
When I wasn’t at home at night last Friday, my husband called my sister to ask her
to go drinking. My sister wanted to go driking, too and she said “ I’ll go drinking if you
comes to my house. “ to him. And he decided to go there but she ended up saying “ aya
must get angry if you couldn’t go home because of missing the last train. So why don’t
we drink tomorrow. “
When I got home, he said “ I really wanted to go drinking….” to me.
That’s why we went to my parents’ house last Saturday.
We decided to make Japanese pan cake called “ Okonomiyaki” for dinner.
My husband and I love it! Friing few pieces of it, everyone “ I couldn’t eat anything. “
But friing Chinese noodles, it’s gone right away.
On the day I got a rolled cake at a patisserie near my parets’ house since I wanted to
learn the difference between pro and me.
The rolled cake of this patisserie has sugar of loose texture arund the body.
I like the texture and it’s simple and good rolled cake.
But yeah, I thought of it and it was good but I win!
Rolled cakes that I baked are much better than it!
The texture of the cake is much better than it.
I was really happy when I got it!
