Recently the number of blog user is increasing around me.
How great internet is... I can tell what other friends do these days from their diary on internet.
Because of this, I can get even what I dont wanna know or better not to know.
Such as... my ex's current girl friend's life.
It was long long time ago that we broke up though, I got kind of jealous when I found her diary on internet.
I guess what they do and how they spend time together with reading her blog.
I know its such a waste of time. But I dont think I will be indifferent for this someday.

Cuban musician's live music@ Blue Note.
It was just so cool and fascinating. A live consert was full of energy.

When I saw some strong connection between a vocalist and a pianist, their performance seemed to be sexier.
I guess that was their chemistry.

Hanging out with OG.
He is a friend of mine I was into.I thought we were very compatible.
But the problem is..
the fact he is not in love with me at all.
Hahaha!! Never mind, Junko!! It happens always!!
Anyway, still good friends.

Lunch @ a fish market in Ueno
He got hang over and no his appetite, so I had big lunch on behalf of him.

Then we walked to Asakusa via Kappabashi.
These areas are very popular for foreigners because of a traditional working class neigborhood.

Sensoji temple.

Very traditional restaurant.

The Shinto shrine we found by accident was the best place in this day.
Atmosphere was so intoxicant at the shrine in the night.
Very quiet...no one there....and holy beautiful lights.

We drew cartoon characters in our vage memories without seeing any pictures at a cafe.
That was cute game , I think.

We've been talking about relationships all day long.

They make it legal

Imi came to my place and I cooked dinner.
Munching cheese cakes in midnight is sooo girly and dengerous.
She brought happy news that she has engaged.
I m really really happy for them. Congratulation!!I hope your happily ever after life!!

Artist Nimura in Ginza

2005-10-30T09:26:00.000+09:00

I visited a private exhibition holded by Nimura, a friend of mine at uni.

Her exhibition is under the soil and visitors are planned to join her art as one part.

She had another performance which was complexed with images and music and art. She improvised a song and an art work as she felt music and images. That was amazing.
This is Nimura.
I run into Ya-chan,also friend in uni, at the exhibition.

That building was so cool.

In Harajuku with Susie.
We seldom go to Harajuku,but today she had to shop new clothes of APE in favor of her foreign friend.
I heard APE is huge in oversea but there are only 2shops in NY and London. Despite of the fact a lot of shops in JApan.
New clothes will be released and allowed customers to buy only 1 piece for each person.
This is the reason I was asked to accompany her shopping.

10:30 in the morning, already a big queue in front of the shop.
We drew lots to decide the order to enter a shop.
This is like crazy! Its just a cloth!!

I was really impressed with NIGO, desighner of APE who attracts so many people like this.
But there is one thing I cannot ignore.
I never see any fashionable / cool/ attractive guy wearing APE.
Anyway we finished our mission.
Lunch at BAPE CAFE produced by NIGO.
Beef curry was terrible, honestly.
I dont think I can understand NIGO's sensitivity.

Near my uni

It was really lovely day .

Hanging out with girls in a park.

Blue sky, Green lawn, Barefeet, Cookies,

Astrology, Magazine, Movie " Before sunset" , French women

Anyway, girls love astrology.

2005-10-28T13:07:00.000+09:00

After gokon party, I couldnt help looking back my life.
Because I couldnt even ask phone number of a guy I was kind of into.
I tried to ask him, but hesitated/was afraid. He didint ask my number either, so it was better not to ask from me. This is what came to my mind at a time.

Now Im moaning,not because I couldnt get him but because I couldnt even pop the word!!

Im such a looser!!
Am I teenager???
I cannot bounce the border by myself.
I cannot initiate relationship.
All my ex I used to go out are the guys who tried to get me, and I did nothing.
When I was stunned by noticing this fact, suddenly my life seemed to be so passive.

Now I make a vow to be active.

According to the ancient Egyptian astrology in a magazine, Im a symbol of a war and a wandering who loves freedom.

A SYMBOL OF A FIGHT....

I love it.
Life is always struggles.
I dont depend on the astrology, but it was encouraging enough to light me up.

Happy birthday to Aya

2005-10-26T01:15:00.000+09:00

We held a birthday party at my place for her. 5 friends got together.
I like inviting my friends to my place. Its a dollhouse though...

Im a good cooker!!Nice going Junko☆

I have a sore throat

2005-10-23T23:23:00.000+09:00

Ahhhh...... my throat is fuched up after working.
Very very low voice.
Cannot speak.
Despite of such a bad condition, I went to drinking party at Izakaya.
Because a friend of mine has invited me to a Gokon, Japanese blind dating party

I didint expect anything,cuz I know from my Gokon experience that real cute guy never come to there.

But this time, its a nice one.
Actually its one of the best Gokon ever.
I run to pharmacy to buy troche.

On the street

2005-10-23T21:50:00.000+09:00

I found a cool shop.
They still sells beans in old style using wooden tools.
This is so beautiful. They keep traditional style.

Recently I dont go to the supermarket, but shop at retail stores in neighborhood .
A fruit and vegetable shop, a tofu maker, a bucher...
What I love about shoping these stores is the communication I can have with shop owners. I feel closer people there than supermarket.
Its more cosy and cordial .

Also, I wanna keep these kind of traditional indipendent businesses in Japan. I can buy a tofu for ￥100 at a big supermarket near a tofu maker which sells one for ￥160. But I feel more comfortable and even fun to choose the latter.
In Japan, there are a lot of big business shops which are like a supermarket, a department store, a convenience store dealing with goods as cheap as possible. I like those as well,but feel we should keep and value small retail stores more.
Because everything flows very quickly in Japan. Sometimes I feel Im lost or I cannot keep up with.
So maybe thats why I like those places I can feel air slowly.

Graduation thesis

Food for thought

2005-10-18T23:25:00.000+09:00

Yesterday when I was talking to my girl friend, I learned she has had an affair.
She knew that he was married since begining and accepted1 and didint care it.
As time went by, she came to love him more and more and also he really cared about her.
But off course she noticed she would never realy get him and decided to break up.

For me, it was an astonishing story,even though its a really likely story.
Because I never knew my close friend who has an affair.

Honestly this story made me feel like crying and depressed.
Having affair is such a common and normal thing ?
I know this happens everywhere though, her story made it become realy "reality".

As I expected, I will have to worry about my husband's behavior all the time. Depressive...
Being cheated with another girl is just too sad for me.

However, her opinion was impressive.
She said she wanted to marry somebody soon,cuz she found how stable position wives are in by having an affair. If man falls in love with another girl sometime, its ok in a way.
He will definitely come back to wife. Married life is not only about passion but about settlement.

She seemed to be really mature for me.
Im totally against affair though, I think she has a point.
She came to want to marry after experience another side of marriage.
I came not to want to marry after knowing her experience.

Deep down, I wish if I could think like her , but I really know I cannot help it.

My favorite time

2005-10-18T12:45:00.000+09:00

One day with members of volleyball circle.
One day with my gay best friend.

Its really lovely to share my life with my people.

My dream couple

2005-10-16T15:53:00.000+09:00

I found a nice place.
It was a kind of gallery-cafe that collections of miscellaneous goods from all over the world are displayed.

like a toy box
like a treasure box

A shop owner has collected those things .
However, his wife doesnt like collecting goods.

" I really cant stand those things! Too much."
She said this with big happy smile.

I haaave a headache!　This is what is called a hangover...
I had a dinner and drinking with Mr. H . We are friends in same uni.
We got together first time in 2 years .
He is a photographer who dreams of meeting people all over the world.
We talked about camera, photo, common sense, travelling, friends,relationship and etc...

He is very sensitive , idealistic and romantist in a way.
At least I felt that way.

After saying good bye to him at the station
Icouldnt help wondering if I could enjoy the time with him or not....
I did in a way.
I didint in a way.
