Because of this, today's atmosphere of the office was like vacation, everyone is not concentrated, and took longer lunch time.
In terms of myself, I had no emergency task today. So I could spent much time for completing one thing.
I like being busy, but I don't dislike the atmosphere today...
Anyway, from tomorrow, there is a long vacation! Do you have any plan for it?
Today, I had a chance to play the tune I have arranged for the early time, actually my first arrangement.
Then I realized that I knew so little thing at that time. Anywhere I could find mistook, and unnatural points. So I rearranged the tune today.
Even I have studied arrangement for many years, I haven't felt that I learned so many things. But today, I found that my skill is certainly going up.
I'm going to study more and more.
One of my favorite place is Shinjuku-gyoen. There are various garden
with various concepts.
In specific seasons, such as cherry blossoms of autumn leaves, there
are so clouded and I can't relax, but mostly there are few people and
I can enjoy the atmosphere.
Last weekend, I went to the imperial palace, and walked across the
Hibiya park. Then I realized that the Hibiya park is also very nice
place. Of course the garden is absolutely nice, also the surroundings
of the park is good. In a few minutes, you can walk to Yurakucho, or
Ginza. Hence there are many cool buildings like a hotel, the Peninshla.
Because it is inconvenient for me to go there, I scarecely go to
Hibiya park. But I'm now thinking of going to there often, also enjoy
running around the imperial palace.
I have ice cream not only in summer but every seasons.
I usually have Haagen Datz, and sometimes Thirty-one.
Actually, there are campaigns with Thirty-one, that it discounts 31%
for every 31st days.
Also, this campaign is conducted now. Just yesterday, I went to have
it. I'd like to go one or more times for this chance.
There I had a cup of fresh juice. It includes mango, orange and other
fruits, also it includes various vegitables, such as cabege.
I'm now thinking of making fruits juice by myself. But it requires
juicer, that can crash the ice. I have food processor and hand
blender, so I can crash the fruits and vegitables, but no ice. I look
for some alternative method for it. Can you find any idea?
These days there are so many foods which tastes so strong, includes
too much sugar, salt, pepper and other seasonaries. Additionally
saying, most of the seasonaries are artificial, not natural. Now we
are used to these kind of tastes, and that destroys our sensitivity
or delicacy of our taste. This should be one of the sub-products of
civilization.
Anyway, I like this waffle, and this natural taste, but sometimes I
should want to eat chocolate or French fries...
Additionally, there are many technical terms for financial or insurance companies, which are common words but include specific meanings, such as security for bonds, claim for insurance payment, etc.
I joined this company and now just used to the words in Japanese, and from now, I have to learn these words in English.
Memorizing these terms is so exciting, actually my interests for knowledge is very high. Hence now, I'm enjoying the current works.
A Japanese proverb says, ignorance is crime.
Also, a Chinese proverb says, knowing ignorance of yourself.
I know that there are so many things that I don't know, hear and experienced. I will continue learning during whole my life.
Actually, we can enjoy this in the beggining of spring. The
disagreement of the name and the season comes from the definition of
season in Japan.
Traditionally, such as in Nara or Heian era, the definition of the
season was different from modern one. January to March was called
spring, April to June was called summer, July to September was called
autumn, and October to December was called winter. That is why there
are difference.
Actually the citrus I tasted yesterday was so sour. But once I eat it,
I feel that summer is not so far.
Actually, they are all made with vegetable. The fried pork like thing
is a dried paste of rice called "Fu". Also the scallop like thig is
large mushroom! Although that is not real ones, but it tastes like as
if you are eating real ones. The texture is perfectly the same.
I think that it must be good for who adopt macrobiotic for their
health and want to eat meat and sea foods. But eating the real things
is absolutely delicious than fake ones.
My opinion is that we should eat what we want, and we like. This
attitude makes us healthy not only with body but mind.
Fortunatelly, I like these kind of foods, honestly speaking, the foods
which is good for my health. Hence I want to continue this style of
eating.
The shop that I bought this was organic one, so this is of course
organic.
But the texture was entirely different from usual dried fruits. In
terms of usual one, there are many sugar on the surface, but this one
is coated with nothing, just apple, that's all!
When you bite this one first, you realize that the texture is so
different, not moistured, but dried. Although, during chewing this,
this absorb the moisture, and tastes just like real apple! Amazing!
I have never experienced this. I want to introduce it to people who
like dried fruits. I believe that this must change the image of dried
fruits.
There you can buy various organic goods. These days, I often come to
these kind of shops, maybe my life style and apatite changed, I'd like
to buy good things instead of cheap things.
Of course, there are many things which is not only cheap but also
good. But there should be some reasons for being cheap.
Sometimes, we can see the things good and cheap, but mostly, it is not
good for the environment or the earth.
We mustn't think of just human beings, but whole the nature.
Yesterday, I saw a friend who is living in the rural area of Chiba,
and doing organic farm to live, not to earn money. It was so
impressive for me that there are such people.
Now, I used to live in urban area, and expencing money, and wasting
many things. Consume many artificial things that I can never imagine
where and how it was produced.
I thought that it should be good for me to stop and see, listen feel
the things around me.
There were various shops and restaurants that sell organic food and
things made with natural materials.
Also, you can see many tents with various NPO that is working for
keeping the earth clean.
There I bought many organic vegitables, especially I found fantastic
shop which is selling carrots. You can try to put carrots into a
plastic bag for 100 yen. During the game, you put carrots into the bag
as far as you can, also it is not necessary that carrots are fully
inside the bag. So even just a little part of carrots are in the bag,
it's ok. Hence when I tried this game, finally I put 10 carrots into
the little bag. They are just 100 yen, can you imagine? I hope I can
try this game on the other organic festivals
After that, I tried the vegan curry and rice, rice ball, and
minestrone soup. They were all made with organic vegitables only, but
absolutely nice!
I want to participate more and more event like this.
I have had training for about a month, actually I used to do, but I
quit that because of my work at Nagoya. And I haven't run for 10 km
yet. Hence I tried this time, and finally I could finish it. It was
very appropriate day for running, not too cold, a little cool, and the
air was a little humid, because it rained yesterday.
I hope I can run with the same condition as today when running on next
Sunday.
I've forgot to talk about the photo, this is today's lunch, spare rib
and vegitable soup.
I had Kazunoko for tonight dinner. It tasted so nice that I ate extra
portion of rice today.
Do you know the snack named "apolo"? It is a snack consists of two
tasted chocolate, plane chocolate and strawberry. The drink I had
tasted like that snack. I felt some nostalgy with this.
It looks very warm feeling, also cute one. The coordinate of brown,
green and silver reminds me natural atmosphere.
The shape of this wagon is so cute, the retro shape and the white roof
makes me feel that. Actually, this type of wagon, Citroen H Van, is
famous for kitchen car at France.
You can go, see and taste Allo cafe at Omotesando. Why don't you go
this weekend?
http://www.allocafe.net/
All of my familly like this cake, because the sponge is appropriately
wetty, and the texture is absolutely nice.
Also, the cream inside is also nice, it is not too oily and not too
sweet either.
Because the ingredients are very fresh, the eating limit is the day
this cake have baked. This is the only point that I feel inconvenient
with this.
Anyway, this roll cake is one of my favorite foods.
There many organic shops are there, some of them are selling
vegitables and the other are selling foods, such as bread, curry and
rice, sweet azuki bean soup called Oshiruko, etc.
I had a Taiyaki there, which is one of my favorite foods, and the
Taiyski was absolutely delicious, because the azuki beans inside this
was not too sweet, and the original sweet taste comes out. Having
organic foods, you can enjoy the original taste if vegitables, so I
like this kind of event.
I've heard that there are so many organic event in Tokyo, and you can
enjoy it once a week, so I'm going to check it up from now.
They are a pair of cups, with coaster. As you can see, the cup is not
usual mug cup, but there are silicon bases under the cup, also there
are silicon top, looks like one that is used at some cafe, but it is
made with silicon.
I will be able to feel like at a cafe even having a coffee at home.
Classical music player uses mostly Italian, such as "poco a poco" and "andante". But they also use Germany for calling notes or scales, such as Es dur for E flat major. Also, the chart I'm playing now is arranged by Ravel, so the chart is all written in French, actually French is not popular for classical charts.
Anyway, it is very interesting that many Japanese classical music player uses both Germany and Italian..
Actually, the team I belonged was released after I left there, and many members left the team, so all of the x-colleague whom I met today belongs to other companies.
We talked about the current job, and agreed that the environment of the past project was unreasonable at all. But I think that the worst working environment made me grown up so fast. Therefore I'm now appreciating for my x-boss that he took me into the project.
Anyway I prefer to eat Champon more than other chineese noodle,
because there are various kind of vegetables!
But the polar bear at the zoo seems very confotable swimming in the
cold water.
But actually, he looks very lazy and annoying on very hot day in the
summer.
I don't know which is better to be adaptive body to summer or winter.
Eventually, I think being a human is the best, the body is adaptive to
spring and autumn.
There many cherry blossoms are blooming that many people came to see
them, this is called Hanami in Japan.
Actually, there are too many people that I can't find if which i'm
comming to see people or flowers.
Anyway, the flowers were so beautiful that I want to see them as far
as I can endure the cold winds.
This ice cream consists of vanilla ice cream, spounge and berry sauce.
Tastes so nice! I thought that this is one of the most delicious one
in the Dolce series.
I'd like to buy this one again sooner or later.
I can eat this mozzarella by eating itself with cold tomate, also I
can enjoy it with melted style. Cheeze is very useful!
And today, I was ordered to translate a rule for underwriting. Actually, I was used to do translation, I have never treated the rules. It was absolutely difficult to do this, because there are many special idiom and ways of sayings, also there are many technical terms there, it made me very nervous about vocabularies used in the rule.
Finally I've finished that, but maybe there should be so many unnatural expressions there. I'm going to check them up tomorrow.
