I had an interesting experience this morning. While I was driving a car, a car going before me suddenly exhausted white smoke. The smoke quickly formed a huge circle of blind spot that made the car totally invisible. I always maintain an enough safe following distance from the former car, so I didn’t get involvedContinue reading “A time machine 8/20/2019”

I purchased the audio data of the Kusuri-e author; Mr. Nobuhiro Maruyama. It was a 138-minutes voice recording of one of his seminars talking about his Kusuri-e. His lecture was inspiring. I liked him talked casually about the spirituality. I wish I could be there in person so that I could witness the participants gotContinue reading “Creating future 8/19/2019”

Recently I have been thinking about one specific friend. We became friends in 2016 and had a get-together several times. At our last get-together, she mentioned about her new job opportunity in Europe. Since then we haven’t seen each other. I sent a text message to her and she replied back to me right away.Continue reading “Getting rid of fear 8/18/2019”

I received a text message from my mom. Her message was messed up in the grammar and the spelling as usual. It actually got worse.

My daughter came back from school in a panicky mode. She was holding one paper in her hand. The paper was all wrinkled because she clutched it tightly in her hand. It was a letter from the school principal. He announced about their new decision. Due to the increased number of the students enrolled inContinue reading “Combination class again 8/16/2019”

I had two rattan baskets need to be completed. While my Japanese friends were visiting us, we made these together. They had been sitting on my computer room floor for a while. Today I finally completed one of the baskets. It turned out to be a rather big round basket. It will be good toContinue reading “Hand woven basket 8/15/2019”

I woke up with a dull headache this morning. I forced myself to get out from bed. I somewhat managed to prepare breakfast for my family. I also ate some rice soup that was easy to digest. After my daughter left for school I took one hour nap. After the nap, I still felt tiredContinue reading “Under the weather 8/14/2019”

I mixed all the ingredients in a hot boiling waterContinue reading “Homemade Mirin 8/13/2019”

During the last weekend, I happened to swing by the local Asian market. I seldom go there. In fact the last time I went there was four to five years ago. The reason is simple. They don’t care for the expiration date of all their merchandise. I saw their items that had already expired fiveContinue reading “Sweet vegetable soup 8/12/2019”
