the special frog

2008-04-11T09:02:00.000-07:00

This is the luxury frog. It is made of some kind of ties which are GUCCI , HERMES, GIORGIO ARMANI etc... It has siblings. They are also splendid.

I received it when I left from Japan. One of the pharmacist who is my admirer's wife gave it to me. Flog is Kaeru in Japanese. Pronunciation of Kaeru( 蛙 flog) is same sound of Kaeru（帰る　go home, come back). People wish that prosperity, good people, and precious things will be back to place in origin safety into Kaeru.

When I go back to my county I am going to have luxurious memories and safety way to go home without a wealthy bank account

my comfortable place

2008-04-01T23:19:00.000-07:00

I have my comfortable place in my hometown.　It takes five minutes from my house by car. When I get off a car, I smell aromatic coffee and I hear jazz. There is a coffee shop which is called Cafe Karam. I found the shop about 3 years ago. This shop is cozy and small plus little bit difficult to find it. Inside, there are many kinds of beautiful roasted coffee beans and a coffee bartender. He is the person who makes special coffee carefully. He is called "master". He does everything for serving a cup of coffee. He chooses beans carefully,considers about roasting time, roasting temperatures, water, water temperatures, how to drip, dripping times. He told me that he made effort to serve a cup of coffee for seven years. So his cups of coffee are absolutely great color, perfect smell and taste.

However he is not a serious man, he is talkative and very friendly. Whenever I go there I sit at a small counter, have cups of coffee, chat with usual costumer and a coffee master. It makes me relax and satisfy. In addition, he cooks very well. Some times I get secret menu which aren't coffee. This happening makes me more happier.

About my Friend

2008-03-22T02:15:00.000-07:00

If I tell about her I would say that she is a sticker and a super kind person. When she start studying she never give up, also she likes giving something to people. She loves sharing something which she like.
I met her, when I joined a Chinese health care food ( I don't know what it is name in English) cooking class. The class was a sociable atmosphere, the teacher was interesting and friendly. Coincidentally She and I are same age and we were the youngest students. Moreover, we had a common friend!! ( we knew this fact after few month passed) After class , we were chatting for a long time in a doughnuts shop. She told me that she wanted to be a Chinese health care food professtional and it would be difficult, but once she made her mind, she worked very hard on her study. So now she is a professional of Chinese healthy food.
Beside the class we had a lot of fun such as went to dinner( our favoret a french restaurant), drive, lunch, workshop..., above all we found a great coffee shop. The happening was a very important for us.
I have gotten along together with her for 4 years. When I left from Japan, She cheered me a lot and sent me a delicious coffee and chocolate many times with her hart warming letters while I was in San Diego, even though I didn't tell anything about any worries. She can guess my felling without a big conversation. It made me very happy and relax many times.

This is my dog. His name is John. My mother named him when he became my family. Actually he died 3years ago. He was with us about 17 years. My sister and I grew up with him.
When he came to my house, he was really small baby( he wasn't big even though he grew up). I remember that we took him my house from our neighborhood. At that time, John was with his mother and siblings. Several days, he was crying if he was alone in a room especialy at night, but he adapted gradually and then he became naughty!! He bit shos, socks clothes...then hided them in his small house. Moreover, he loved playing with tissue. He took all of tissue papers out from a box and spread them out all over the room.
He gave me a bunch of great memory and still I love him very much.

My sister took this puctuer when John was sleeping. My sister always tried to wake him up. She poked him a little bit, whispered his name in his ear. At first he woke up whenever she did, but after, he learned to ignore her. However he loved her because he knows that she took him out every night!!
