Tommorow is a really long day with me.
The doctor said that operation is so easy and it's only 2 hours and I'll not feel hurt so much. After that my heart will be very ok. I know it's just 2 hours for waiting.

So...don't really want to talk with anyone about this . Because it's just a really small problem .

My working takes me almost the time, and Jiro doesn't feel well now.

I can feel the cold winds blows through the trees on the streets and many people started wearing coats.

Another winter is coming.

Time goes so fast. Sometimes I just only want to hold the time so It can't go fastly like that.

Can I really have my simple happiness . They're just that I can walk slowly with my lover through the streets , can see him every morning when I wake up, can make for us hot coffee in a cold early morning, can hold his hand whenever I need him.

Can I do and have all those things I want.

Another Winter is coming that means another time is passing.

Maybe today I've got some sadness .
It's from the bad weather and from my mind . When he said with me that he has been hurt because of my words , so I think the better way is my silent .
He's silent, too and doesn't want to reply my mail.
What does he want now ? I can't know the answer in his mind.
I wish I could go to another place and live a life without anybody around me . Maybe, the lonely will kill me day by day but It's better than the feeling in my heart now.

Feeling down and down without any reason why !!!

All the people who is around me, make me be tired and I make them be tired , too. And the better way is I should live far away from them .
When you're acquainted with your loneliness in a long time and then you tie your mind with another connections and relations , you sock, in doubt and feel more lonely because they think you're really a trouble although they like or love you much .

That's is my situation.

Every body has a dream, but I don't have . With me, They're just the nightmare . They come to me every night and then, when I wake up in the mornings , my face always has tears. Why can every body sleep well at nights but I can't ? Even,in a long time I didn't want to sleep at nights.

Feel down and down !!!!

The rain hasn't stopped yet and it covered all things the wet water. Under the rain fall, who can see anything ? Just an empty feeling in my soul .

What time do I begin my new day ?
It's usually at 7a.m
But last night I had got only 3 hours for sleeping and had to sleep on the sofa in the meeting room of my company .
Lay on the sofa and listened to the rain was rained heavily outside the window , I suddenly wished tommorow all my customers would dissapear.
The sky was dark with the red clouds and that mixing color looked like the color of someone who is ill.
3.00a.m, a ringtone of my mobile sang a song to told me " You've got a message " . I just wanted to threw it away.
4.00 a.m , my PC informed that I'd got a new e-mail. It wasn't my lover e-mail, it was my customer's.
5.00 a.m, I went to the toilet for washing my face . There was a terrible face with dark eyes looking me in the mirror liked an owl.
Took my bag and came back home because couldn't meet the manager in this bad situation.
On the way back to home, I've nearly caused an accident because my mind was in the state of dreaming.
" I entreat you to give me a half day off" ----> after this sentence, I must stay in the office and have to work all day today.
" We have some meeting today, my dear " the manager smiled victoriously when he saw my face changed from green to red.
And now, Kaoru, what will happen badly with you today ?

Let's smile together with us !!!!

Sing a song

What is Danjiri Festival ?
- It will never fail to impress visiting spectators
Though there is no accurate record, at least 40 men died in Danjiri festival since 1898, and so Danjiri festival is well-known festival as the most dangerous festival in Japan. On the other hand, Danjiri festival really and truly attracts and enthuses the participants who are residents in Kishiwada-city. There would be no festival such as Danjiri festival even in the world to say nothing of Japan.
In Kishiwada-city, there is eighty-four Danjiri that is a kind of float, and very small community that consists of about 200-1200 families possess Danjiri. Broadly speaking, each community's area corresponds to township in New England of U.S.A, and the neighborhoods within the area organize each very small community. In many case, community's name means also Japan's address e.g. 679, habutaki-chou, Kishiwada-city, Osaka, Japan. (Underlined letters are community's name. That is, there is no street name about Japan's address in principle. )

Unlike a festival float in USA, Danjiri isn't equipped with engine, each community's participants consisting of about 400-800 men have to pull Danjiri by human power for parade, and it's feature of Danjiri festival that participants run, pulling Danjiri. Moreover, Danjiri turns a corner without stopping!. (Since a thick log is attached to the rear of Danjiri, such operation is possible. Please refer to "About Danjiri itself ")

Though it's natural, when Danjri turns a corner at full speed, it is extremely hard to control Danjiri's motion. And so, if the operation don't successfully finish, because of centrifugal force, Danjiri rolls over, or crashes into building or house. (Most of accident death on Danjiri featival occur by rollover or crash at the street corners.)

Though it may be strangely impressed, participating men are very proud that they turn a corner at utmost speed without flinching, pulling Danjri. No, if anything, each community competes to each other for how fastly Danjiri can turn a corner. Many men often say that I never regret to die in Danjiri festival. (Though you might not be believed, it's real !.)

What urges to do such a dangerous festival?. Probably its answer is "The harder the achievement is, the more it would be desired, as human habits." In other words, when they turn a corner at unbelievable speed, each can feel achievement and exhilaration, and that would be the greatest motivation of taking part in Danjiri festival.

Therefore, on the world, No festival would not more capture and delight participating men's spirits than Danjiri festival. "Readiness is all " (from Shakespaer, please allow trope), this phrase necessarily isn't overstatement as for Danjiri festival. Assuming that you really view Danjiri festival, you will be able to understand!.

History of Danjiri festival

About three hundred years ago, Nagayasu Okabe who is a feudal lord at those days built Shinto temple praying for rich harvest, and he permitted town folk to come into precincts of Castle of Kishiwada, pulling Danjiri. That is the beginning of Danjiri festival, according to investigator of local history. And so, it's the custom of Danjiri festival that participants enter into Shinto's temple and pray together with Danjiri.

[About Shinto i.e. indigenous religion(custom) of Japan.]
Though features of Shinto are veneration to Japan's Emperor as descendant of creator in Japanese myth, basing on Japan's a kind of shamanism, Shinto has no established system such as originator, religious community and tenet defined. And so, most of The Japanese don't clearly recognizes Shinto as religion. Therefore, Shinto is custom rather than religion in Japan. (For example, there are altars of both Shinto and Buddhism in most Japan's homes.)

Kyoto is a city in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. It has the population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the imperial capital of Japan, it is now the capital of Kyoto Perfecture, as well as a major part of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto metropolitan area .

 

Although ravaged by wars, fires, and earthquakes during its eleven centuries as the imperial capital, Kyoto was spared from the firebombing of World War II. With its 2000 Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines, as well as palaces, gardens and architecture intact, it is one of the best preserved cities in Japan. Among the most famous temples in Japan are Kiyomizu-dera, a magnificent wooden temple supported by pillars off the slope of a mountain; Kinkaku-ji, the Temple of the Golden Pavilion; and Ginkaku-ji, the Temple of the Silver Pavilion; and Ryōan-ji, famous for its rock garden. The Heian Jingū is a Shinto shrine celebrating the Imperial family (built in 1895) and commemorating the first and last emperors to reside in Kyoto. Three special sites have connections to the imperial family: Kyoto Imperial Palace and Sento Imperial Palace, homes of the Emperors of Japan for many centuries; Katsura Imperial Villa, one of the nation's finest architectural treasures; and Shugaku-in Imperial Villa, one of its best Japanese gardens.

Other notable sites in and around Kyoto include Arashiyama and its picturesque lake, the Gion and Pontochō geisha quarters, the Philosopher's Walk, and the canals which line some of the older streets.

The "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto" are listed by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. These include the Kamo Shrines (Kami and Shimo), Kyō-ō-Gokokuji (Tō-ji), Kiyomizu-dera, Daigo-ji, Ninna-ji, Saihō-ji (Kokedera), Tenryū-ji, Rokuon-ji (Kinkaku-ji), Jishō-ji (Ginkaku-ji), Ryōan-ji, Hongan-ji, Kōzan-ji and the Nijo Castle, primarily built by the Tokugawa shoguns. Other sites outside the city are also on the list.

Kyoto is renowned for its abundance of delicious Japanese foods and cuisine. The special circumstances of Kyoto as a city away from the sea and home to many Buddhist temples resulted in the development of a variety of vegetables peculiar to the Kyoto area (kyōyasai 京野&#33756.
