My daughter attended the coding club at the library. The teacher and some attendees shared some Valentine candies and cup cakes with the kids. I completely forgot that today was the valentine day. I like the American way that anybody can give candies or flours on valentine day. I didn’t like the Japanese custom on how they cerebrate valentine day. Typically, girls give chocolate to the boys whom they care for. This habit accompanies with some obligations. At schools and companies, female students and workers collect money in order to buy chocolates for their male students and coworkers. Then the male students and workers have to do the same on the same day in the next month, March 14th. This system is called “Giri-choco,” aka obligation-chocolate. I wonder how is this system going right now. I hope young people will feel this system weird and stop passing it down to their next generation. It is just my personal opinion. I honor some people like this system.

In the evening at 5 p.m., I attended the online Reiki gathering. However, our teacher didn’t show up. We waited for another 10 minutes but he didn’t show up. The host decided to continue the gathering without the teacher. I hope our teacher are doing fine and we will be able to see him in the next gathering.
