I wish everyone a happy and healthy 2010, a bit belatedly !

As you can see, I was too busy to do anything and very tired last year because I had some troubles on labor problem which was much more time consuming than I expected.

So I hope I'm able to post more blogs here this year, and I want to chat with my friends on AnD, after the dust settles... And...I'll try to cut overtime hours from now on!!!


By the way, at the end of 2009, I went to Umekoji steam locomotive museum near Kyoto station with my friends.


I think it's small but handsome old museum...




We could take a ride on this steam locomotive.


I found the cool phoenix on a steam locomotive !!


These were fabulous! But probably I should cut down sweets to lose weight...

I should have posted this pic on my blog on Halloween...


Friend of mine who is called "M" gave me the strange stuff when I visited Tokyo last month.
(This is just an aside, her nickname bear no relation to the 007 series!)
We have known each other for a long time, and I meet her whenever I visit Tokyo.She is a big fan of Pikachu (ピカチュウ).As you know, Pikachu is a central character in the Pocket Monsters anime series.It reminds me, I used to watch Pokemon on TV...and I loved Sonansu (ソーナンス) then! haha

She will come to Kyoto this Tuesday, so we'll have dinner together.I hope I don't have to work extra hour this day...

Well...It's been a while since I last drew someone!
Frankly I didn't have enough time to draw pictures, because I was full of woe and so on.And...I thought I can't draw satisfactory drawing until my mind is relaxed.But I thought spending time on my hobbies will ease my mind, so have decided to take action.





Hope you all have a great weekend !!

I was depressed over about some problems of my company over the past few months, but now I think that it's a waste of time.
I need to become a mentally stronger person. So, I don't care what others in my company think, I just do what I believe needs to get done! From now on, I'm not going to waste my time relating to disgusting persons in my company.


By the way, I added new one to my frog collection a few days ago!


This is not teddy bear !

This is one of stuffed toy frogs of series named "Brito" which is provided by the company called "MON SEUIL".They release limited number of special stuffed toy frogs once a year...I love the frogs of "Brito" series!



Here is the CDs I got today. It's been a while since I had bought CDs...Needless to say, I bought BON JOVI's much anticipated new album "The Circle"!! hehe

　　・BON JOVI  " The Circle"
　　・a-ha  "Foot of the mountain"
　　・Chesney Hawkes  "Another Fine Mess" and "The Very Best Of Chesney Hawkes"

Oh, I didn't know that Chesney Hawkes already released a new CD three years ago!!
As you may already know, he is best known for his single which was released in 1991, "The One and Only", and I remember it was used as the theme song to the movie "Doc Hollywood"  which starred Michael J. Fox.I loved his songs, and I bought his album of Japan edition.Of course, I still have that album.



But unfortunately I had no means of getting his information at that time,because I didn't have the Internet yet... I'm glad that I could find information of his music again!

I visited to Ueno Zoo on the 10th with my friend nanami,I had a great time!Ueno Zoo was Japan's first and its most famous zoo...We could see a lot of animals!









I bought a stuffed chameleon when we stopped by a souvenir shop in the zoo...haha You don't like it?


I remember nanami gave me some advices after she nodded as she listened to my dreadful story about my company.I really appreciate the advice you gave me,nanami!
In the evening,I checked into a hotel.After spending some time thinking about my trouble alone,I deeply felt I must not lose my cool.Surely the one to blame is my boss,so I'm going to continue to fight the company.I know the proverb,"If you can't beat them join them",but it doesn't suit my style!

I wanted to meet Remi in Tokyo if his schedule allows.Too bad we weren't able to get together when I visited to Tokyo!
