One of departures

It was leaving school ceremony this morning. I quitted one of my works today. It was the ceremony that was nice than I imagined it. I worked as a counselor for two years.

Thank you for beautiful flowers and many experiences.

Communication..... one of etymologies is communis of the Latin. It has meaning called “share(共有)”. The conversation has not only the transmission of the information but also a deeper meaning.... Deeper meaning is what?? I can't express it well. People read some informations from gestures and expressions of a speaker than words.

Maybe I learned this knowledges when I was college student. Is this knowledge right? How do you think of this?

Today's my song is KURURI(くるり)“ばらの花；http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlmcOhOd2kY&feature=related”

Workshop of learning a cancer care

This afternoon I joined a work shop which was about a cancer care.
The first place Japanese cause of death is cancer. The second place seems to be cerebrovascular disorder. The cause of death of the man has much lung cancer, and it of the woman has much stomach cancer. I heard today's lecture and I thought that I have to do self-administration.
I learned a cancer prophylactic based on scientific grounds.
Prohibition of smoking. Avoid sidestream smoke.
Refraining from the liquor.
balanced meal. Refraining a salt(japanese man, less than 10g. japanese women less than 8g)
Spend everyday life actively
Maintain the weight of the adulthood in the reasonable range
Knowing having hepatitis virus infection or not
I was surprised a bit that we must eat vegetables and fruit 400g every day. Much or little for you? For me, it's much.

I went to Tenmabashi by bicycle. It was good weather, but the wind was cold today.

I wanted to see a cherry tree at Kyoto but it seems to be still a bud. So I hung around in Shinsaibashi , I didn't go to Kyoto this afternoon. I will go to Kyoto to see cherry-blossom in the end of March.
At Shinsaibashi, I bought an album for my memories of San Francisco.

I like san francisco and san jose. When we visited San Jose, the police officer was nice to us very much. Thank you very much.

This photo is Sausalito. I love Sausalito, nice mood for me.

It's so warm today. I like spring but I dislike pollen. My nose has been ill-conditioned for these few days:-( In the Japanese spring, a lot of pollen is scattered. Therefore some people wear a mask when they go out anywhere. Today's my feeling match this song?? Dionne Warwick - Do You Know the Way to San Jose:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiB02XWTwI4

Come back

This afternoon, we came back to Osaka . San Francisco and Osaka have difference in time for 16 hours. I means that we left San Francisco at 11:00 a.m. of 16th and arrived at Osaka at 3:00 p.m. of 17th. I cannot tell the experience in San Francisco with a word. It seems to take time a little to arrange various memory. The people whom I met while traveling were very impressive.

Golden Gate Bridge, a little foggy.

The Pacific which I watched from an airplane.

I'm so sleepy......Good night☆　Sweet Dreams.

From Osaka to San Francisco

I will go to San Francisco tomorrow!!! My mom and me will leave Japan in the evening and are going to arrive at San Francisco at 3:00 a.m. of the Japan time. I am anxious about a jet lag a bit. But, it might be no problem because my special ability is to be able to sleep anywhere:-) This trip is very short. I go back to Osaka on 17th March.

Higuchi Ryoichi /Letter ～ To dear children　～
I heard this song first time. I really recommend it.
It is beautiful song which Higuchi added music to in the letter which an aged parent wrote to a child.

It seems to snow in Kanto region　tomorrow. Now cold rain here. Where is spring?

Yellow

I took a day off today. I got up late in the morning. I had to finish small job so I spent this afternoon doing that. I thought that I would go to Umeda for shopping if trivial routine duties were over early. However, I decided to return to the home because it 's very cold today.

At first I went to a Mizuho bank and paid public utilities charges. Many people lined up there. Therefore I took time for a long time than I thought. I don't like simple work of the bank. It is troublesome for me. I really think that electronically depositing and withdrawal is good service. Next I went to the ward office to get the resident's card.
After that I dropped in“ ERI Flowers”that is sweet flower shop and cute sisters are there. I took yellow and pink flowers and she throwed in another yellow.

on first Sunday of March

I thought about March of the last year. What did I do? I remember the trip of Melbourne and Perth immediately. There was the wonderful encounter. I am sorry that Melbourne is in the serious situation.
I can travel again luckily this month. The destination is San Francisco not Australia, it is the first place for me. I am excited before going to the first land.

It is a splendid memory of the last year as follows.
In the evening, I walked along the Yarra river. I was made fun by someyoung boys and I throbbed a little. There are pleasure and we have an incident for a trip.

Most shops were closed.Because that week was Easter holiday.

In an elevator of Riatto tower. On the first day when I arrived at Melbourne, I visited here. I seemed to be lost a bit in a road at night. At last I arrived at this tower in the business area.
