Poor girl

Shiori, my wife's cousin, broke up with her first boyfriend last week, or rather she was just thrown away?

They had argued argued about everything they disagreed over since it turned October.
So finally thier relationship came to an end last week.
At first, she thought it was her fault and regretted what needs to be regretted seriously.

But the truth was just ........... NO WAY!!!

He was just two-timing! Cheating on Shiori with another girl.
In addition, the day he started flirting was on Shiori's birthday...How awful!

I wonder why on earth she went out with such a terrible flirt.

Tahiti 3

Sharks, Manta rays, Napoleons and Cool Instructors.....they all made our diving. Thanks a lot!

Tahiti 2

I really really want to go back here.

I will definitely do it one day!

Tahiti 1

We enjoyed feeding fish from inside our hotel room cottage on the lagoon in Manihi!
Fish always grabs French Bread left over from a restaurant there.
How rich they are!

6 days to go until...

I'm going to Tahiti with my wife on our honeymooooon!

Finally!

And finally I am posting.

I have not posted on my blog for a long time...lazy.

These are the pictures that I took in Okinawa. Not Tahiti.

Anyway, I'm already excited that the day I can escape from reality into paradise is coming.
I'm sure I can NOT return to my normal life after Tahiti.

But I don't care and am packing up my bag without a care in the world.

I hope not to be like "LOST"...

Busy existence

Busy weekends.

I've been sacrificing them for looking looking looking for my sweet home, where to live next year...

Does anyone give me the money in your hand?

Because I know I'm gonna be dead broke soon.

So hard to live!

However life goes on...

Hyper Fish!!!

1..2..3!! at Disney Sea

Got back down to earth this Monday.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I really really want to go back to last Sunday.
Come on Doraemon!
Give me "Time-Machine" now!

I've known how fantastic Disney is since I was 3 or 4 or so.
Because my father took me out to Disney Land 3 times a month at that time.
Disney is the only place that all life on earth can be one with a smile like a child, I think.

By the way do you know Sekai no Nabeatsu?
We played Nabeatsu game while standing in line.
My wife mimicked crazily, so funny.
She never has sense of shame, just shameless.
Though she doesn't even know what shameless means...
All in all, my wife's cousin and I were affected by her crazy face, we all became crazy together...
But it's a nice way of amusing yourselves when standing in fuckin long line, I guess.

Shit outta luck!!

So tired to death I was that I slept for 12 hours continuously!
Yes, "Sleep and wait for good luck."
But I fucked up my scheme making BGM for tomorrow.
(I'm going to Disney Sea by car with my wife and her crazy cousin tomorrow.)
So "CD-R" was really necessary to enjoy ourselves while driving.
Unless I was mistaken...
Anyway, I was going to buy "CD-R", but I mistook "CD-RW" for "CD-R" and bought it.
Got home, I noticed...don't kick my ass please.
My idiocy was showing, so what?

May the weather be great !!

Usually the weather is so so when we stay in Okinawa.

How come?

I'm not Ameotoko at all.

Also my wife. maybe.

We're just Hareo and Hareko! We hope so!

Anyway we are going to Okinawa at the beginning of Golden Week holidays.

5 days and 4 nights.

It's scuba diving trip as usual.

But this time is just a littlt bit different from usual.

This time...we are gonna swim with a SHARK!!!

Rhincodon typus!!!

How coooooool!!!!

Never in a million years have I dreamed that I would be able to swim with a gigantic monster.

So excited I am that I may not sleep well tonight.

I cannot wait!

Under no circumstances must I swim...

But you are not clever at all if perchance you bite me...not funny...so.....Don't!

A little help is worth a deal of pity

We finally made up our minds to buy a house on this planet!

(Actually the place to live has not been decided yet.)

We've found it hard to make a decision where we should move house to.

Near our office is definitely better.

But the more convenience, the more cost.

The more we get, the more we want...endless.

Eventually we've been able to face the fact that SKY HIGH prices in Tokyo mock at us.

So we'll probably return to hometown Chiba after an almost 5-year absence.

Anyway take cautious steps, we may start a family one day.

Spending time with my family really means a lot to me.

What the hell happend to me

Just feeling of wanting to be shot out of a cannon.
It's been for weeks since I started feeling hollow.
My soul has gone somewhere...

Yeah yeah it's not like me to be at a loss.
So I have to do something exciting before going crazy.
Anyway I wanna do something a little out of the ordinary.

But, I don't have a sense of what it is that I'm trying to accomplish in life.

Everything in the garden is lovely

Spring is just around the corner.

well, my friend Koutarou has finally got a girl friend like Sonin? just he said so.

Anyway it was such a nice nice nice surprise to hear that.

I'd been waiting for the day he showed off his gf.

I've been getting too hyper since then...niec work dude!

Not a heart, just crazy about

Grave discourtesy

I go to a grave garden a couple of times a year.

My great-grandmother, grandfather, and brother, have been sleeping there.

Just wanna say "Hello" to them, just go there around the anniversary of their death.

But this time, big wind made me have no flowers or incenses...

I know that the most important thing is heart, and all of them must be the same...I hope so.

Anyway, visiting their graves means a lot to me.

unicef

United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund.

Last month, I finally applied for UNICEF MONTHLY SUPPORT PROGRAMME.
But it starts from this April because they take a lot of time to procedure for it.
A little bit part of my small salary will be donated to UNICEF by automatic debit transfer every month.

I had long been thinking of donating to UNICEF, but I couldn't have decided whether or not to do.
Because of my money...
I can't afford to support someone financially.

But eventually I decided to support UNICEF with a donation of my money.

UNICEF is very active in promoting children's education.
I just like it.
I hope children in developing countries will be able to live a comfortable life as much as possible.

Inspires me to greater efforts

To cheer up my company's corporate adviser with my co-workers, I went to Nihonbashi yesterday.

What made us cheer him up?

Sure, The Tokyo Marathon!

It's not all comers marathon, so he was very lucky and was able to make his dream come true.

Anyway, I was glad that he could run through the dream in good heart, even though he is 62 years old.

He is terrific!

Training every morning has brought him to life.

If I had run, I would definitely have dropped off and run away from stupid things I'd decided.

Exercises can really make a good difference to our health.

I know that but it's far away...

I've felt that his back has encouraged me to be an active participant in it.

Country-bred child

I spent with my wife last three-day weekend in Yuzawa in Niigata, which is a countryside for her, as I pleased and make myself at home.
It was quite great time for us after a long interval...

We enjoyed snowboarding at Iwappara ski resort, located close to my company's recreation facilities we stayed, on the first day.

The weather was perfect and the quality of snow was nicer than last winter.

Because I was so satisfied with that, I got into drinking a couple of Echigo beers made from rice, "Koshihikari."

It was so delicious that I forgot to dive into a hot spring after drinking.

I mean, I was Ba-tan-Q...

So in a way, I could dive into, but not a hot spring, just dream...

On the second day, I tried tasting sake at Yuzawa Station before noon.
I didn't care the time anyway.

Because there were so many sake machines in front of me at the time.
It couldn't be helped.

...In conclusion, though I drank 5 kinds of sake, I had no idea which sake I drank at the first.

Well, please spare me the details now anyway.

It was just stupid.

After that, we called Nobuko(younger sister of mother-in-low) and had her pick us up at the station.

As soon as she arrived, she said to me, "It smells like somebody drunk."

So I said, "Yeah yeah I was a little bit drunk, so what? :)"

Anyway it didn't matter because It was my first time to visit Nobuko's house and meet her husband, her mother, and her children. Just excited.

They were all nice guys.

Her husband, Toshio was quick to bring me some "tea" called "canned beer" just after I get in the house. So funny.
Her mother, Take was a kind of good old japanese person. strict, powerful, and kindly heart.

Her smile was dazzling and killing me. I really like her.

Her children were...let me see...yeah, they treated me with tender loving care.

I like the way they treat me.

Though we enjoyed Snow Country Festival & fireworks, all in all drinking with Toshio was the funniest thing for me.

You know, we drank like a fish and slept like a log.

Worried about a hangover, but it was OK, because of turmerics.

I'm sure turmeric is the best cure for a hangover.

On the final day, I didn't have a hangover but a cold...
