First bicycle ride in 2012

Tue, 03 Jan 2012 18:45:21 +0900

I went for a bike ride to Arakawa Riverside as it was a beautiful sunny day today.

It was a little bit windy, but because of that the sky was very clear, and I could see Mt. Fuji from the riverbank. I also found many young kids were enjoying flying kite. It was a kind of surprise for me as I haven't seen such scene for many years...maybe since my childhood??? Wow...it's a long time!! I thought new kids tend to play TV games inside of house. But still they seem to like playing under the blue sky!!

New Year's Party

Mon, 02 Jan 2012 23:45:08 +0900

New Year's Party again!! Time flies....

I remember that I started this blog on new year's day last year. It was supposed to been countinually updated, but.... oh, no! I'm so lazy!! Well, this year I'll try to update this blog using my mobile instead of PC so that I could easily access to this swbsite and cannot make any excuse. Hahaha...

Christmas Service in church

Sun, 25 Dec 2011 23:02:54 +0900

I went to international church to get service today. I'm not Christian, but going to the church on Christmas is getting my annual event these years. The church is the one wich my Christian friend belongs to, and she invites me to Christmas service every year. I like it because I feel like I get refresh by listening to sermon even once a year. It's important for me to clean my mind in the end of the year.

My bike

Fri, 23 Dec 2011 22:59:11 +0900

This(↓) is my bicycle I've gotten from my friend. I needed to change gear chain as the chain already had stretched and came off the other day when I went to the shopping center which is located in the area approximately 20Km away from my city. It was nightmare because I didn't know how to correctly put the chain back. Fortunately there was a bicycle shop in the shopping center and one of the shop staffs helped me fix it. The bicycle still has some problems, so I have to change some parts. But I very much enjoy riding the bicycle lately!!

Odaiba

Sun, 11 Dec 2011 23:10:38 +0900

I went to Odaiba by bicycle with my friend yesterday. It took about 2 hours from my house. On the way to Odaiba, we passed through Ginza, and I had funny feeling because I've never been to Ginza by bicycle!!

We had lunch at bills which is famous for pancakes. Texture of the pancakes was very fluffy like French toast rather than pancakes, and it was yummy. But! I prefered Omelette to the pancakes.

After hanging around Odaiba, we went to Tsukiji for Dinner. We had very fresh sushi there. Actually there was a fish tank in the sushi bar and sushi-chef cut up a whole fish scooped out from the tank. I felt sorry to those fishes, but it was delicious anyway....hahaha.

At the mid night, Total Lunar Eclipse took place, and I enjoyed viewing the change on my way to home.

Bicycle ride

Sun, 26 Jun 2011 00:47:10 +0900

The other day, I went for a bike ride with my friend to Kwagoe-city where is located in about 20-25Km from my house. My bicycle is not special one for long ride, and it took about 2 hours to get there.

Along the way, sign board which says kilometers to Kawagoe-city appeared on the cycling road. It encouraged me a lot. When I finally got there, I felt fulfilled as it was my longest ride. On return road, accident happened on my bicycle, but my friend managed to fix it and safely got home. It was good exercise and so fun!!

Clouds

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 19:48:26 +0900

Wow...it's been a long time since I updated this last time.

This evening on the way to home, I found some strange shaped clouds in the sky.

Since the earthquake in March, I cafully watch the sky everyday not to miss sign of earthquake.

In addition, crows are croaking in loudly now even though it's in the late night.

I hope nothing will happen.....

Ohanami Lunch again

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 21:48:16 +0900

I had Ohanami Lunch again. The weather was perfect, and cherry blossoms looked very pretty in a blue sky.

This Ohanami Lunch will be the last in this Spring as cherry blossoms already started to fall. I have to wait for a year until next Spring!!

Tan Tan Noodle

Sun, 10 Apr 2011 23:41:25 +0900

I cooked Tan Tan Noodle for dinner today. It was my first try and just OK but not good. I accurately followed a recipe but somehow it was a bit salty. But I'm happy to know it's not difficult to cook and can have my favorite "Tan Tan Noodle" at home!!

Tea break in Jiyugaoka

Sat, 09 Apr 2011 23:43:52 +0900

I stopped over at tea house "St.Christophers Garden" in Jiyugaoka on my way to my grand parents house today. There was beautiful English garden in front of the tea house, and it was very relaxing atomosphere inside of the house. I ordered scone plate and fruit tea. The scones were freshly baked and still warm. One of the scones was cherry blossoms flavor and made me feel spring. It was cozy afternoon.
