Pray for Japan

It's been sleepless nights since last Friday. I guess you all know about earthquake in Japan.

My home town is a part of North East Japan. Although my family is all OK (thank god for that.), so many people are still suffering endless nightmare.

It's heartbreaking and I get very emotional. I pray everyday since.

I'm grateful for people from all over the world who supports Japanese in their toughest time. I've never felt this strong to be proud of being Japanese.

Now in Japan, everyone helps each other like old time which seemed to be forgotten in long way. People's will to life gets stronger. You all will get through this.

People, hung in there. Sun will rise surely above your head. Don't forget there's always help from world. You will find your way like you did in past.

Ganbare, Nippon!!

Merry Christmas!

Bear and his friend Chick are enjoying their festive season!

a happy new year

How did you spend last night? I had great night at my friends' place with yummy food and drink, good conversation and magnifiscent view of Harbour bridge!

Later I stayed up till the first sun rise in 2007 came up but it was POURING RAIN! :-( I was hesitated to go out but couldn't miss the first thing. And I wanna share it with you. You believe or not, it rained hard when I took this photo.

Whatever you do, everything is the first thing in 2007. Have you made a new year resolution?

In Japan, the first dream you have in the new year has a special meaning. It's like fortunetelling for
the year. I had a nap this morning but I don't remember my dream... I wonder if a dream I have tonight can be called the first one in 2007...
