Tempestuous days past away and I afford to relax.  And I had a employee's trip to relax on the beech and have a spa in Atagawa , Izu peninsula last weekend.  The picture below is the Atagawa beech.  It is a small sandy shore but is very crowded and hot. 


I was too sunburned to sleep. And I went to spa in dawn to watch following sunrize.


> Connie!
Thank you!  I turned 28 last month!  Nothing changed to the surface but everything is changing day by day.

My friend over ten years commited suicide just recently.  I am shocked.  No body knows the reason why he commited.  He was going to be 28 old another 1 month.  It is too young.

It's beyond me.  I just pray for the souls for death.

He was depressin for ten years since when we are highschool students.  I'm afraid he released and got freedom , but, to tell the truth, I can't understand.

I've been home now.  It is also over midnight.  And I should work on holiday tomorrow.  I'm still busy.
Thesedays, I've been being sleepy all day long.

I will shake down these situations by GOLDEN WEEK.

This is a Japanese plum tree in front of Japanese restaurant near my office.


These are cherry blossoms opening out in public library.

Sakura is a symbol of Japan and we love it.  I feel so nice, relax, cozy and happy watching cherry blossoms.  And I remember my family, friends of my childhood and bring my mind back to my hometown. 
I feel what a wonderful world though I'm busy on weekdays　.

Spring has come.  We Japanese go to see the cherry blossoms every this season.  And I also went on Friday evening with colleagues to river bed near our office.   We call this practice  Hanami.  And especially called Yozakura,  Hanami  at  night.


These are all cherry tree.

Entrance gate temporaly built for Hanami.

Now 0:44 am.  I came home only 5 minutes before.
Last weekend is also.

Why is work so busy thesedays?

Anyway. I'll do it.


Thank you.


P.S
 No sooner did my work be busy than started to schooling.

Hi, everyone.
It's a long time since I wrote this last time.

It is hard to me to study for a certification exam while working full-time, thouht I have known it before starting study.

I'll try to live up to my expectations.

Early this morning, there were medium-scale earthquakes in Kanto region.  It occured at 4:51 am and the seismic focus of that earthquake was a southern part of Ibaraki prefecture.  Magnitude of 5.4.  27 people sustained minor and serious injuries.

I was roused by earthquake this morning.  Fortunately for us, that was nothing serious.  It was just surprised me because I associate the early morning earthquake in this season with Great Hanshin earthquake occured on January 17, 1995.
