Exercise

I decided to start exercise today 'cause I really felt I lost my physical strength and I wanna loose weight.
I did jogging for only about 5 kilometers, but I feel much better than before although I'm exhausted now...
There is a nice jogging course near my apartment. Many people are taking a walk or running.
Actually, I was shocked when I saw people who looked much older than me and passed over me...
I know just I wasn't used to running. But they were soooooo fast!!

I got not only stamina but also spirits and guts.
I also got another thing.
At the beginning of jogging, I couldn't keep running cuz I didn't know my pace.
But finally I could catch my rhythm and keep running even though my pace was so slow...
The same thing can be said to life.
We usually feel uncomfortable, tired and tough when we start something.
I know that it is so hard to continue it that we usually wanna give it up.
Some accidents may happen. Also we may feel very bad.
I think we have to get over them, then we can find our pace.
Once we catch the pace, we can keep it.
Unless we keep running, we will be able to achieve our goal some day even if the pace is slow.

Hiking!!

On Nov 29th, I hiked up Mt.Takao.
It is famous for colored leaves.

You know, Vancauver is known for Maple trees.
In fall, maple leaves turn their color.
I saw very beautiful leaves in Vancauver.
But I almost forgot how beautiful the colored leaves are in Japan
even I'm Japanese...
So I strongly wanted to see them.

there were lots of beautiful colored leaves.
But they were less than I expected.
I expected that whole the mountain turned its color.
But only some trees had colored leaves.
So I was a little bit disappointed.
I seemed I expected too much...
If you want to see beautiful leaves in Japan,
I recommend visiting Nikko. Not Mt.Takao...

I found a temple at the middle of the mountain.

Most mountains in Japan have a temple
because ancient people thought gods lived in mountains.

Can you see the smoke from like a bowl?

The smoke is a kind of incense.
It is said it bring us health and good luck if we shower it.
Can you believe that?
This is a typical Japanese traditional culture.
I enjoyed hiking, sightseeing and seeing beautiful scenery.

Sharing happiness

On Nov 24th, my sister's wedding party took place at L'alliance in Kagurazaka

dad, me, mam,
groom, my sister

It was really nice party.
Food and wine were delicious and all of the staffs were hot girls
Especially, the groom's grandfather's speech was really great.
It made almost everyone cry.

I was a MC in her wedding party
'cause she asked me to be.
She told me she wanted to not only save money
but also make the party like handmade.
That's why I accepted her offer
even though people in Japan usually hire a professional MC in their wedding.

But a problem was I had got a fever of 39 degrees...
It was so hard time completing my role as MC.

This picture is the second wedding party in Canal Cafe.

Anyway, the party was finished without any troubles.
They looked so happy that I envied them a little bit...
But I know what the first thing is.
Getting a job.
Getting confidence.
After that, I can get married.

Welcome to Japan!!

On Nov 22th, my ex-coworkers made held a party for me. 

We went to a nice Japanese restaurant.
I realized I like Japanese food after all.

She is one of my contemporaries.
She planned this party.
Thank you

A few hours later.... he is one of my contemporaries, too.

He is always sleeping in a party...
I don't know why.
But he usually gets up suddenly around 3am.
The same thing happened this day today.

All of them told me that I've got so fat!!!
(In fact, I've gained 12 kilograms for only 4 and a half months...)
One of them also told me that I was like a squirrel which storesed foods in his mouse.
I think I need to go on a diet....

All of them are very close to me still now even though I quit the company a year ago.
About 2 years ago, When I was depressed, they helped me to get over.
I really appreciate to them.
I think I can't be myself without their helpness, encouragement and consideration.
I wanna repay for them someday.
