SAKURA

2011-04-13T19:55:00.001+09:00

We've all waited the cherry blossoms (Sakura). I can find its petal everywhere like it's snowing.

Unfortunately, it blooms only a week, so if you missed last weekend, you have to wait another year.

Sakura over the Kanda River.

We are having really tough time right now, but I believe Sakura will give us hope and strength.

Sunday Afternoon

2010-10-17T16:05:00.001+09:00

Aki means autumn in Japanese.

She came to my place in autumn four years ago.

Did you like your name, Aki?

iPad or Kindle?

2010-08-03T20:34:00.001+09:00

I have no plan for buying iPad, but I would love to have new iPod touch whenever it's out.

Now Amazon has released new Kindle and it's Japanese applicable. I already have Kindle App for my iPod touch, and I know how connivence to carry, to buy and to read books like that.
(Wondering how do you back up books in Kindle's App and restore to new devices? May be you can't?)

Hey buddy, what do you think?

Glee

2010-08-01T22:31:00.004+09:00

I sometimes watch TV with Tome. She actually watches TV. This time we were watching 'Glee'.

It has been so hot not just in Tokyo, but entire country. People are hospitalized out of this heat.

I am so exhausted these days and not going out very much. Watching TV in the room is the thing I can do at the most right now.

Things I Never Look At Carefully

2010-07-25T23:58:00.002+09:00

There are so many things in neighborhood. But have I ever look them carefully?

The street I never turn, the subway I never take, the train I everyday use....

There are so many things I had missed.

Take A Look At Yourself

2010-07-24T21:44:00.001+09:00

Nan and Gen are both black. So when they're looking each other, I feel like they're looking themselves in the mirror.... I always wonder if cats identify others with color or face?

How about us?

I'm Starting With The Man In The Mirror
I'm Asking Him To Change His Ways
And No Message Could Have Been Any Clearer
If You Wanna Make The World A Better Place
Take A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change

Mysterious Women

2010-07-19T11:51:00.002+09:00

Nan is 5 years old and she came to my place two years ago.

She has never let me hold her or rub her face or ANYTHING!

I never wanted her to hate me, so I try not to touch her from me. I am waiting that some day she will come to me and let me hold her....

Will the day come?

Turns out to be A BEAR!

2010-07-17T10:40:00.002+09:00

When Gen was a little tiny baby, I sometimes felt he could be a bear or even a black panther if he grew up.

Fortunately, he never turned out to be any of them.

Well... still not sure. He could be a little bear!

誰が何と言おうとも No matter what they say

2010-07-04T21:19:00.002+09:00

You are beautiful no matter what they say,

Words can't bring you down.

You are beautiful in every single way,
Yes, words can't bring you down.

Don't you bring me down today...

いつも一緒だね　Buddies

2010-06-27T16:49:00.000+09:00

They are always together.

It's good to have buddies.

キャットタワーの穴の謎　- The Magic of Top of Cat Tower -

2010-06-19T10:54:00.001+09:00

こわれたキャットタワーの一番上。穴が開いている。これはネコの通り道のはず。でもつい方は様々

There's a hole on top of mini cat tower. Cats love this hole and use on different purpose....

Gen doesn't even notice his legs are out of it....

ダイエット -Tome is on diet-

2010-06-09T09:35:00.000+09:00

According to my vet, over weight cause lots of ills as same as human.

Tome has been on diet. But does not look like loosing her weight...

She will never care about her body line. That is one of the reason I want to be a cat some day...

Love you, Tome.

谷中 -YANAKA-

2010-06-09T09:27:00.000+09:00

Yanaka, the street is famous of cats. I was imagining cats is everywhere.

But I only could find these three cats having sun bathing.

They looked like even avoiding people.

I felt like I went back to 50 years ago... Each stores decorated with antiques or make look like antique.

This is coffee shop. Couldn't imagine from outside.

I didn't have time to see how cats are doing in footpath. I might be able to find cats. Definitely will visit again to find more cats.

Exciting Day

2010-05-04T14:08:00.000+09:00

These are bit old pictures.

I had finally been to Mitsuaki Iwago's photo exhibit.

It was

At the end of the day, I got autograph by THE photographer; Iwago-san!

Cats Day?

2010-05-04T14:04:00.000+09:00

日本橋　Nihonbashi

2010-03-21T10:03:00.003+09:00

Over 400 years ago, the bridge had built this place, business area of Tokyo.

The bridge was made of woods so it had been burned several times. Current bridge which had built in early 1900's is made of rocks and stones.

Nihonbashi area is business district, so weekends are pretty much empty.

I haven't carefully looked the views before, but once you have camera it looks so different.

Found a restaurant/cafe at the river side, so decided to visit and had lunch.

The look is much nicer at night with the light.

Weekend special for me is to have beer at lunch!

I had fish and my boyfriend had chicken. I never thought this place is Japanese restaurant, so this was surprise.

This was good weekend to find out new side of Tokyo for me.

Cats in the sun

2010-02-28T11:05:00.000+09:00

Today is bit cold... but it was like spring past few days.

Cats love sit in the sun.

Sometimes cats fights over to get this IKEA's cats' bed.

But... Please do not let your cats to behave like this;

雪まつり - Sapporo Snow Festival 2010

2010-02-07T09:51:00.004+09:00

It was freezing, and could not stay more than 10 minuets.

I've visited the night before opening. Not all of status are ready but I could enjoy enough of it.

This is a famous palace in Hawaii made of ice, not snow. This should be more beautiful than day time.

This one was huge. Those animals are from the image of Asahiyama Zoo.

Food stands are all open and serve nice hot soup, hot chocolates and even ice cream!!

This was sponsored by Germany. There was shops from Germany and you could have their local foods.

Famous palace in Korea. Look all the details!

Who is this?

Wish you a happy new year!

2009-12-31T23:30:00.000+09:00

Right now, I am watching 'Kou-haku' as traditional Japanese.

We all wish you a happy new year!

funny face

2009-12-25T10:11:00.005+09:00

When I first met Gen, he was so tiny and looked so ugly....

He cried for three days in front of my apartment. I knew it was kitten and tried to look whatever the voice was from, but I couldn't.

Finally I found him three days after and he was much smaller than I expected and he was black. I still don't know why, but I'd never imaged it would be black...

He grew so fast, sometimes I seriously scared that he could be a black panther or even a bear!

But... yes, after two years and six months, he is still a cat...

Toy cat

Aki is so tiny. She is my toy girl.

Conversation with cats

2009-12-18T09:01:00.005+09:00

Tetsu passed away this June at the age of 16. Waking me up every morning was his job, thanks to him, I never had problem with oversleeping. Set alarm clock at night, and when it gets on next morning, he came to me and say 'YOU NEED TO WAKE UP AND FEED ME!!' in cat language. Sometimes he punched, kicked, scratched and even bite my face.

But now....no one does that anymore. Today, I overslept and late for work...

Another habit between Tetsu and I had was when he had done with the toilet, he always came to me and ask me to clean it up. Gen (male, black one) does before he uses toilet. It sounds like 'I am going to pee, you better watch!'.

There's more...Tetsu always come to the door, and say 'hi' when I came home. Well, now that part was taken over to Gen.

I guess people who have lived with someone who cannot use/speak same language you speak, you experience the same way. I cannot explain, but it is definitely a conversation between two of us. I really miss him...

Guys, there are four of you. Can you help me waking up? Are you even listening to me?

Gen is on sale at MUJI store!

2009-12-15T22:54:00.002+09:00

If you are having trouble what to get for Christmas to your friends, your family or your lover, how about Gen???

Looks like he is on sale at MUJI!! I got one for myself... ヽ(^◇^*)/

Target, and go!

2009-12-12T15:14:00.001+09:00

2009-12-09T21:12:00.003+09:00

ナンともビックリ！

2009-11-28T00:19:00.003+09:00

トメは朝は、空を眺めるのが日課らしい。

鳥を見つけては「あぅー」と鳴く。

あれ？トメ、あなたのベッドに何か黒いものが...

ゲーン！体重制限オーバーだよ‼ それ、4キロまでだから。。。あー、トメも制限オーバーだった...

そういえば、ナンちゃんがベッドでくつろぐ姿も定番になってきたね。

ごゆっくりどうぞ。

残念ながら、so-netのブログは、iPod touch で更新する方法がなく、この↓ゲンのように、ふてくされながらも、手段をもさくしてみたけど、ダメでした。

ナンちゃんは、今日も私のベッドを独占中。

寒いんだろうな。暖房の解禁日は、12月なんだよね。ボジョレーよりも遅いのよ。

It was so annoying to post my so-net blog since I got this brand new gadget.

To solve the problem, I needed new tool. The only thing I could do is moving out.

I really wan to go back my blog, till they find a way to solve it; like develop App for iPhone users.
