It was fine.
In the morning cliff investigators came to visit again. We went to see the condition from the downside and talked with neighbors.
I went to post office to send documents by the registered mail. Since I happened to see special Olympic & Paralympic stams, I bought a sheet.
After that I went to once a week yoga lesson for an hour. There were more participants than usual.
After coming back I changed and headed for Kanda to attend a seminar. My friend was supposed to come but did not without notice. I wonder what happened.
I had supper and attended a monthly meeting.
It was another busy day.
It is Emperor's 85th birthday today. It is Sunday today, so we have a transferred holiday tomorrow.
It was slightly rainy this morning but I saw the very beautiful full moon.
I went to Shibuya to attend one day seminar which was very interesting. After the seminar there was a party and I talked with some people and became Facebook friends.
From them I was introduced somebody else and became Facebook friends. People attending seminars have high motivation and it is easy to find something in common.
I enjoyed meeting new people today.
It was fine.
I went to Shibuya to attend a seminar.
It started at 10 am. In the same building there was an examination of Chinese language. There were so many people waiting for the elavator to come.
In our seminar there were about 40 to 50 participants. I arrived there about 10 minutes before starting, and I was ushered to the center front seat.
It lasted for four hours and a half without having any lunch time nor break. There were lots of work to write somerhing in mind. After the seminar reception was held. I talked with some people. It seemed most of them were members of the company. It was fun to have found somebody that belonged to other course I took.
At night the pick up of suitcase came. I will be busy for next two weeks.
It was fine and hot.
There was an accident at the JR Yokohama area in the morning, and Keihinkyuko Line accepted those who use JR and trains became so crowded and busy. My train delayed about 30 minutes.
With the certificate ticket, I was not regarded as "late," but I had to stay at the office until 6:45 pm because my working time is 7 hours and 45 minutes using flex system.
I had an appointment of attending a trial seminar at 7:30 near the Tokyo station. So I had to run. Fortunately I was in time. The lecturer is my friend's husband but I have never seen him before. It was a nice experience to look back my daily activity toward my ideal life. He kindly gave the participants his book, booklet, and a charm. I asked him autograph and picture. Thank you very much.
On my way back there was a place I wanted to visit inside the Tokyo Station, and I took pictures. This was the time-limited advertisement, therefore I am very glad to see them.
It was a nice day.
It was fine and hot.
In the morning I visited three shrines before going to the office.
Today is the 73rd anniversary of the end of World War II. At noon we offered the silent prayer for the war dead.
In the afternoon I attended an English workshop of writing emails. One of the benefits of my workplace is this kind of seminars offered to staffs for free.
Tonight on my way home I could watch the fireworks festival at the Tama River
which was very beautiful and I felt lucky.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
It was fine and hot.
A new temp staff joined the office and we had a welcome luncheon at Upstairs of Mercedez.
We have had some luncheons before but we always had the same table because of the numbers.
I ordered the time-limited menu which was rather expensive than others, but it was not so special.
After work I went to Shinjuku to attend a seminar about investment. It was supposed to be from 7 pm to 10 pm, but started a little bit late and lasted for longer than the schedule. I became worried about the last train, and left there before it ended. They gave the participants a book.
Fortunately I was in time for the last train.
It was fine.
The last day of March is the last day of fiscal and academic year in Japan. How was your FY 2017?
There were many things and I have seen many people which brought me new information. I have joined many activities and traveled a lot both in Japan and outside of Japan for both business trip and private vacation.
Today I went to Ariake to attend a seminar. On my way to go there I went to Shimbashi and took Yurikamome and on my way back I used JR. Former is closer to the venue but took much time and money, the latter needs to walk more.
The seminar was held at the 32nd floor of the high-rise manshoin which is said to be the value of yen1,800,000, 000.
So I wanted to see the place where the millionaires live. The view from there was fantastic.
After coming back, I went grocery shopping and filling my car up which made me feel relieved.
I saw many beautiful cherry blossoms and tulips in the afternoon and the beautiful full moon at night.
It was fine and rather warm this morning.
I went to Kanda to attend a seminar in the afternoon.
Then I went to Shinjuku to have dinner with 4 old tennis friends at a Taiwanese restaurant. We started around 5:30 pm and ordered many different dishes. The contents of the talk are tennis ranking, injury & gossip of tennis players, health, overwork, business trip and so on. It is interesting to hear about the world I do not know.
I left there around 7 pm and headed for the next destination, Hinodecho.
I went there to get massage. It is my once a month health maintenance activity.
A new month has started. October is jyugatsu (十月) and kannazuki (神無月) which means the month without gods because all of the gods get togethet in Izumo(出雲). There October is kamiarizuki (神在月).
It was a fine beautiful Sunday.
I went to the nearby shrine first and headed for Tokyo to attend Mr. James Skinner's secret seminar, Koko now. I have known him for several years by recorded seminar and a book but have never attended the real seminar. Through the joint talk live with Ms. Natsuko Yokota I connected with him by Facebook and LINE and knew about this monthly meeting.
It started at 9 am and finished around 8:30 pm. They required us to wear elegant costumes during the seminar but they said they had exercise in the morning session. So we needed to change.
There was a special guest's lectures too. I had no idear who he and his wife were but it seemed they are very famous in the certain world.
The first comers were invited to the stage and to tell their names and what James Skinner is for them.
There were many new things I learned today.
The venue was very closed to the Tokyo tower which looked very nice.
It was fine in the morning, but rained with thunder in the evening. Fortunatey I did not have to use the umbrella.
The cherry blossoms at work were about half in bloom.
After work I went to the explanatory meeting of Reiki. This was the third time for me to attend this meeting.
Before starting the session, there was a warming up time to find common points with the person next to each other for two minutes and a half. There were 8 groups or so. And we found 40 things in common. Since we were the top, they gave us books. How lucky we were!
It was fine.
After work I attended a seminar of Mr. Toshitaka Mochizuki in Shinagawa.
There was an accident on the Keikyu line. When I got to the Daimon station, trains were stopped for a while. Fortunately I arrived in time for the seminar.
I have attended this seminar before but every time there is something new.
Today there were three guest speakers who made their dreams come true by taking the course of Dream Map. One of them was the person whose email magazine I subscibe but have never met. I don't know why I am subscribing, but I thought it must be from Mr.Mochizuki's relationships.
The other is Mr.Hayato Koshizuka(腰塚勇人) who is a famous lecturer of Lesson of Life. He used to be a physical education teacher at a junior high school in Kanagawa prefecture but had a ski accident and became very sick. I have met him once in June 2009 at the joint seminar of Mr.Ken Honda and Mr. Mochizuki. At that time if my memory is correct, he was there on his wheel chair. Today he was walking! The short movie he made was so moving. I recommend you to watch if you have a chance. I was very glad to see his recovery and activity.
We became Facebook friends tonight.
It was fine.
Before going to the office I went to post office to do many things. One of them is to exchange the new year's cards to stamps. I printed the message to address side by mistake, and I made new year's card to those who had unhappy event and realized before sending. Since there was an announcement of lucky numbers yesterday, I checked all the new year's cards. This year I got only one stamp sheet. To exchange the missed cards, they could subtruct the handling charge, and I got stamps without paying anything.
There was a new year's luncheon of our office at a Spanish restaurant. There were three choices for main dish and I chose rice paella. There were two choices for side dish, and I chose soup of chickpea and uncured ham. I chose chocolate cake and tea for dessert.
I expected paella with pan, but it was not. So it looked like just fried rice. I felt looks is very important.
After work I visited Fuji Film Square, and went to a seminar about a dream map in Yokohama because I had an invitation ticket. I could not be in time by the unexpected event, but I am glad to have attended.
It was fine in the morning, became cloudy and slightly snowed in the afternoon. It was a very cold day. Yes, it was the coldest day this winter.
I went to Kimino Style Miya first to leave the goods for evening, then to Naritasan temple nearby for this year's first visit. It was around 11 am. To my lucky I could attend the special fire praying ceremony called ogoma kito(御è·æ‘©ç¥ˆç¥·). I saw seven lucky gods statues of Noge there.
Then I went to Shinonome to attend the seminar about how to travel by first class using mileage. This was the second time for me to attend this seminar, but I learned something.
Then I went back to Kimono-Style Miya to get dressed and taken pictures. Today there was a special event. We could take pictures with four men from Yamagasa festival in Fukuoka. I did not know about it well and did not expect, but they sang for us and performed. It was a nice experience.
I got many new year's gifts there.
When I came back to my station, it seemed to have rained. But it was not. I was so surprised to see my car covered with snow. Because Miura seldom has snow, and it was not snowing in Yokohama. Miura is located at the south of Yokohama, so it should be warmer.
