One of the Kind...
Almost Ready for Another BKK
Sat, May 26, 2012
Today - good thing is that I didn't have major hangover. Hahaha.
Usual Saturday morning… probably more organized than usual.
Hit down to Shiodome with MoonFlower.
Our purpose - checking out the kitchen shelf (to be installed).
Panasonic has good line-ups and we wanted to get quotation.
Everything was smooth… didn't have to wait too long.
Initially I was told to wait for 60 mins. Turned out to be 6 mins. Pretty darn good! Hahah.
Shelf design and material used are determined. Quotation will be in mail to us in a matter of a couple of days.
Good dela.
MoonFlower has right to respond as final answer. Hahah.
Late lunch - at Tully's.
Walked down to Giza ward.
Went to Cartier for ordering something for me.
Yeah, my watch - Santos 100 XL Chronograph - I ordered replacing the leather belt.
Paid some money --- quite expensive… but within the expected range.
Surprise was that the goods is due in 3-4 months. Gosh, that long! Hahaha.
It's okay, that doesn't bother me much.
You know, I am not going to wear that Cartier watch for a while since I will be gone to Thailand for a while (again).
One last dinner with MoonFlower.
Wine bottle was open.
One is quite expensive… picked up in Bangkok a while ago.
Saint Henri Shiraz - Australian wine.
Surely different from usual French or even Italian wine.
Good experience.
Probably more fitting to winter season. Hahaha.
The dinner was closed with pizza delivered by Domino. Yeah, Domino Pizza.
It was pretty good!
Ate quite bit tonight. It's okay… I won't get another chance to dine with my darling wife until 2nd half of next month.
Now everything… all events scheduled are completed!
Ready for another Bangkok? Sure thing. No problem. Hahaha.
Next update - is definitely coming from Bangkok. See you folks then.

2012 Cool Biz Starts
Mon, May 21, 2012
Hi folks.
Week in Japan now begins!!! This means another start… "Cool Biz."
This is for light clothing for business in order to save energy during the summer.
Does that make sense to you???
Outline of Cool Biz is like we shall not wear tie or formal attire.
Less formal more comfortable under high temperature setting of air condition. Say 28 degrees.
Saving lots of energies by this efforts… led by the government for many years…
Thus, as per guideline set by my firm… I wear light shirts, jeans, and sneakers. Totally casual like weekends.
Guess what?
EVERYONE PUTS STILL FORMAL CLOTHES!!!
It was quite suicidal to me… because I definitely appeared moron!
Well, I didn't do anything wrong, though.
Darn it…
Well, do you think I would stop doing that?
If you know me in person… you know the answer.
I will not.
I will even accelerating how far I can go from here. Really!!!
Maybe I am now being called moron. Hahaha.
Came home late from work… about 9pm or so.
Good dinner, prepared by MoonFlower, was waiting for me.
Fantastic!!!
It was wonderful home made dinner and I ate SO FAST. Hahaha.
Too bad that I am surely going to miss this kind of food… every soon.
Another 6 days to go. Time is really ticking.
Sunday, I will fly (back?) to Thailand.
Did you enjoy your meal?

Dinner at Home & Car (Almost) Break Down
Sat, May 19, 2012
Yeah, photos from previous night… dinner at home with MoonFlower.
I opened the bottle of sparkling wine I bought at BKK airport…
It was Italian sparkling wine… quite popular brand called "MARTINI."
Have you had one before? Recommended… quite good cost- vs.-performance.
Quite reasonable prosecco it was.
Can be with any kind of foods for sure.
MF fixed something for two of us.
Good bread… I kept eating.
Lastly… not least MoonFlower's home made pasta.
Yes, it was carbonara. Perfect one she fixed for me!!!
And today… I went out for shopping.
To buy two things. AppleTV for my Thai friend… and SIM for my new iPad.
Yes, I bought them at Yodobashi Camera without any trouble. Good stuff.
I will see how the G3 connection out of my new iPad. Hope it turns out to be good one.
Late afternoon when MoonFlower came back from gathering with her friends… we hit the road to her mother's house.
Everything was smooth and flat until the time we went off the express way.
We suddenly heard big metal-squeezing noise from somewhere front side of the car.
I was quite afraid that the car gets broken down in the middle of road.
We stopped. Check the car… and found nothing.
Though, as car moved, the noise really came up.
Finally, we call the dealership for help.
After infant diagnosis by the engineer over the phone, least conclusion - "car is still drivable."
Assumption was that some small object got jammed inside the disc break.
Does that really happens? According to him, rare but still happens.
So we decided to drive up to that dealership for inspection.
At least we can get relief by doing so. Hahaha.
Took us another 20-25 minutes to get there… and noise was eventually gone right before getting there.
Inspection was done and the final answer was the same as assumption.
Wow, good news!
So we went to the house of MF's mother quite late because of that… was better than getting serious accident and the like.
Tomorrow, will go to newly-open outlet mall for shopping!!!

Color Coodination
Sun, April 15, 2012
Sunday is now over!!! Ready for new week, folks???
It was fun and exciting Sunday for me.
Really.
As usual… right before my departure for biz trip to Bangkok (or anywhere), I requested MoonFlower to fix my favorite French toast. It was good as always and I ate… too much!
Then in the afternoon, MoonFlower and I got two guests coming over to our home.
They are color coordinators. Yes, professional.
I asked for service analyzing what color is best fit to myself.
The analysis lasted about 1 hour and half.
These are best colors for my skin. I should coordinate clothes based upon those choices.
Cool.
Particularly, on left hand side in the picture.
You know, the choices that I usually make for clothes… are quite similar or same to those.
For example, my favorite color is purple… light purple.
Thus, I had made right choices for my fashion coordination.
Nice, huh.
I felt like I am now approved and guaranteed by such professionals. Hehehe.
It was surely worth to get such service. Recommended.
After that session, MoonFlower and I finally went out for shoping to Omotesando.
She wanted to buy a new bag replacing the one which was discarded upon being worn out.
"Felisi" and "Gucci" brand were checked out.
She found one she liked… though, she hesitated to say yes on that due to over budget. Hahaha.
Good thinking!!!
Anyhow, she will reconsider what other alternative she may have for making final decision.
Had late afternoon tea at Cafe Madu. We hadn't been there for quite long time. No change in that place, though.
Then we stopped by at Kinshicho. Same place as last night.
Since my birthday is around the corner, MoonFlower bought me some accessory.
Will tell you more about it tomorrow.
Dinner was at Italian restaurant… "Ken's Kitchen."
Not too far from our home… though, 1st visit.
Reasonably priced. Perfect place for dinner tonight.
MoonFlower liked it so much. So did I.
Particularly, pasta was outstanding.
Will be back for sure.
See, as I said, it was fun and productive today. A plus plus!

House Gumbo!
Tue, April 10, 2012
WHat's up, folks?
Things are stable and calm for me… so I have been quite relaxed. You can say, I am just lazy out here.
Only thing I did for today is just check-up at my usual dentist.
Entire inside of my mouth was X-rayed today to make sure there is nothing wrong in my teeth.
Good thing was that my dentist confirmed with me that there was no cavity or other issue.
Great!
I often come to the dentist for cleaning and check-up. Like every 4-6 months. Not enough?
Since I found a good dentist nearby my house… it is not much hassle for me to go.
One accomplishment for the day… is:
My last MacBook - bought back in August 2006 - time I was at Thunderbird for MBA - is now back with new hard drive!
500 GIG hard drive made this revive.
Surely, MacOS X is now installed. Seems everything is okay.
My new (?) machine? Of course not. This is going to be MoonFlower's dedicated machine.
She has none for herself and we have shared my MacBook Pro with multiple user setting.
Good thing for us to have own machine… now we can take advantage of video chat such as Face Time.
Between Bangkok and Tokyo - we can talk to each other anytime we (she?) want. Hahaha.
You know, we usually don't call up each other much while being away from each other like that.
Maybe the technology will unite us…
My (most!) favorite actress Manami Higa (right) now appears in new "Hancho" series (season 5).
I hadn't watched this drama at all, not even interested.
Now different ball game here. Since she is in the story, I will follow.
It looks like very popular… season 5? Gosh. No wonder that so many famous people are in the story.
Finally, topic on supper. It was MoonFlower's idea to open a bottle of wine tonight. Unusual.
Since I am home and she came back home early… we could do this:
French bottle - 2008.
Very good one! Perfect with tonight's cheese.
Then finally…coming to the entree --- GUMBO!
This is MF's home-made GUMBO. One of favorites for me - MF fixes.
Yum yum!!!
It was awesome supper between MoonFlower and I. Thank you, darling!

New Champagne Glass
Sat, March 03, 2012
Today MoonFlower and I were quite excited about these...
New champagne glasses… we bought them last month.
MF wanted me until today.
Brand new!
Look at those great legs!!! Very thin but so beautiful!!!
Not champagne… but sparkling wine today.
Look at those bubbles!!! I love it!
Only disappointment in tonight's dinner… the cheese. They are okay… not bad.
Hahaha.
Seafood, salad, pork, and pasta… ate too much!

Prayer for Project Success
Thu, March 01, 2012
Showed up to the Thai Embassy this morning.
Yeah, my Tokyo time starts...
Ate Chinese dish for lunch. Yeah, never get tired of Chinese food!!!
Sure, Thai food is good, too.
Along with project members, came to Yasukuni Shirine for prayer.
For what? Of course, this huge project's success.
Really? Really.
Only 100 yen? For Apple's bumper (orange).
Yes, it really was. So I picked up.
Well, I really wanted to buy this green bumper, though.
Meaning, I bought two bumpers at a time.
Great supper fixed by MoonFlower who worked a bit over time today.
It was good food… liked it so much. Thank you darling.

Tableware Festival 2012 & Home Dinner
Sat, February 11, 2012
Tableware Festival was toad's final destination for both of us, MoonFlower and I.
Last year, we went there… this year, too!
Testing for 1,000 yen (13 dollars).
Could choose the glass I want and I drank a glass of Champagne.
My choice was this. Lobmeyr's Champagne glass.
MoonFlower and I ended up buying a pair of those glasses for home.
Good discount given upon our purchase. Great deal!
Dinner was at home. Opened a bottle of wine.
Red one.
Variety of cheese came along with wine. Great selection.
I slowly kept the pace… between cheese and wine.
Other dish, too.
Chicken was the main dish tonight. Good food.
Good dinner lasted long… MoonFlower and I sat at the dinner table and talked to each other for hours.
It was quite late… when finished. It was almost 2am after family festivity.
