still winter over here

The days are still cold, although we did get a taste of Spring last week. Was only 5 degrees yesterday! Today is rain and about 8 degrees. Where has Spring gone?

One of my good friends seems to have a problem with their brother's ex-girlfriend. Seems like her revenge on him is to get his sister fired from her job, eventhough his sister has nothing to do with the couple and nothing to do with his ex by contacting a "government official" to get her fired!! Quite twisted. I hope it is just a bluff. Will keep you informed on the situation, however, I am sure it is just a broken-heart trying to get even at someone she loved. Being dumped or breaking up with someone is a hard thing, but noone has ever died from a brokenheart and life does go on and things do get better. Otherwise there would be a heck of a lot of unhappy people lying depressingly around town! Everytime your heart is broken think of it as polishing the rock that is quite rough and with every break-up, your heart gets polished. When it is polished just the way you want it to be, you will then find the person that is meant to be for you... Well, here's hoping..


Tokyo is rather dull on days like this, but at least I can see the sea from the window at work and smell the trees around the gardens at the office. Having these two small nature distractions does mean something and does make a difference. At least nature has its presence justling out in between a land of grey dull skyscrapers and rain. Did find a comical bit amongst the concrete and dull day and that was of this delightful named apartment block (around 6-8 small apartment complex). The name, Hilton Azabu. I guess if it's written in Japanese, noone should really notice huh..?

The company's rugby team won their game over the weekend, so the "company employees" all received a free dessert as a celebratory gift. I chose the orange jelly. There were two other choices which consisted of "grape and peach jelly". Honestly, I would have preferred ice-cream, however, in this case beggers can't be choosers.


The photo is of a strange shop (?) named "Miru no Heya" that I came across with good friend N the other day. Had photos and leaflets covering the store. Didn't have a chance to go and really find what it was about, but hey, if you are in the vicinity of Hiroo, then perhaps you can check it out for me and tell me what it is about. It seems like it is advertising for missing cats, dogs and perhaps people?...Quite odd, indeed. But isn't it the odd things in life that make life interesting...
