I got a cookbook 'Breakfast for being a happy day'. So I'm going to cook something from the book on the weekend. The first one is this ! This is simple, but good. And this dish is my favorite Wedgewood that I got in Guam about 25 years ago.

My sister who studies Korean told me before, in Korea, there is the proverb that if you speak beautiful words, you can get beautiful words. Though I hardly speak English, I'd like to speak polite one.

Last night, I went to a Japanese restaurant near my office with my friend.

I translated a part of an article on the Japanese newspaper about the opening ceremony of the Olympic games. *** There was a scene that moved me in this opening ceremony. When the woman's flag - bearer for the Iranian contingent entered into the stadium, before a large audience, she was filled  with emotion and had tears well in her eyes. It happened in a moment to be on the television. But people in the world must have seen her tears. Nobody knows the reason of the tears except her. But we can imagine how much she had made effort until she gose on this big stage. I wanted to cheer for her. I sincerely hope I'll cheer for her. And her tears seemed like tears of everyone who stands on this stadium. There is no one who doesn't stand here without their efforts. Just as I noticed so, the opening ceremony seemed to be completely different untill then.

Happy Valentine's Day !

Today's my lunch was an 'ekiben' that we can get at stations (eki). Ben is bento, and means a lunch box. Have you ever eaten octopus ?

To my precious friend, This is my favorite movie. https://youtu.be/vvlCVxT9JZA

Bless the beasts and children For in this world they have no voice; They have no choice. Bless the beasts and the children For the world can never be The world they see Light their way When the darkness surrounds them. And give them love; Let it shine all around them. Bless the beasts and the children; Give them shelter from a storm; Keep them safe; Keep them warm. * sung by Carpenters
