Hi, friends!
Plum, your hectic daily life seems a heartwarming scene for me.
His name "Yujin" sounds smart and cool.
Did you remember your former days as a young mother?
When my mother-in-law holded my baby in her arms for the first time,
she said that couldn't recall her memory as a mother of small children.
At that time, I couldn't believe such comment, but now feel like understanding her.
By the way, today I read a book "Puro ron", the essays on a professional.
In this book, many big names told their experiences, lifestyles, and advices for young people.
Each essay was very interesting and good lesson for me, and I found something in common.
A lot of specialists said that one should, and could choose one's favorite things for a job.
Is it an idealistic idea?
maybe, but true.
I also hope to be a brilliant person like them some day.
So, thank you and bye, friends!

Hi, everyone.
Today, my friend said ' My teacher told that without setting a goal in advance, you could never accomplish your hope or things.'
Looking back my life, I admit I have not planed the rest of life or how to live. However, I am eager to make my property. when I see my portfolio, it is diversified to disperse risk. My individual conclusion is that you consider it based on long term span. 10 years later, in your country'e economy or other countrys', what will likely happen.
You can think from many spheres.
For example, population is important. If you share limited resources among growing population,
how much is your quota? However, the quota doesn't satisfy you. You must pay more to get more. Easily, you can predict inflation.
The price of oil or gold have skyrocketed. Then, how about environmental change? Do you want to live in low land? If you think various things, you don't know the end of the story. I think of preparing for pitfalls auch as hiperinflation. If I am involved in this condition, what shall I do?
It's very interesting and exciting.
Your saved money may becomes a piece of paper, if you collect only paper issued by BOJ or the U.S.Treasury Department. Why does the Euro appreciate against the US $? It is because people think central banks of each country will buy the euro as reserves in the near future. This is only my imagination, illusion and phantom??
Dear Cherry and friends,
Hello.
Cherry, your idea about the “pro ron” convinces me of the proverb “what one likes, one will do well.” My father is a good painter and a calligrapher. He is neither a professional painter nor professional calligrapher, but he makes money by drawing and writing. He is a signboard maker.
When he was a kid, he was not a good student. He didn’t study much. Once, I asked him, “what do you remember the most about schools?” His answer was simply “a corridor.” Obviously, he often listened to the class from outside standing in the corridor. Or maybe he didn’t listen to it. He told us that a teacher threw a piece of chalk at him but he escaped. He doesn’t remember what he did or how he made the teacher angry. He was so bad that teachers didn’t trust him. When a sketching contest was held, he drew an excellent picture. A teacher asked him who did it and could not believe it was my father’s work. In fact, he always drew cartoons in class. Some classmates asked him to draw pictures. One of his friends brought one many years ago. He said my father drew it when he was a junior high school student. It was well drawn. It was like a page from a comic book. I was convinced that if one really likes to do something, he will do it all the time, and then he can do it really well.
To make a professional, we need more ingredients. There is something regretful about my father’s talent. He lacks ability to fabricate convincing stories for comic strips. He never likes so-called teachers, so he didn’t try to find a good art teacher.
Mr. Jojima of Seattle Mariners once gave strict and severe advice to kids. “Just dreaming is not good enough to make your dream come true. You have to go get and grab it.” He deserves the right to write one of the “pro ron.”
Good night and good luck.

Hi, everyone!!!
It’s so sunny, warm and lovely here in Sydney. I wish I could take this whether home. Shiroyama, Chikusa-ku. Probably spring is just around the corner in Sydney.
Yesterday, my husband arrived in Sydney, and the three went to the airport to pick him up. Actually on the way he was in Taiwan on business, where he set up a molding company early this year (he is going to found another molding company in northern China late this year). We had asked him to bring a lot of Japanese food such as a couple of big packs of miso and as many packs of hijiki-seaweed as possible, and after packing his bags with the food he realized there was no space for his clothes, and thus he did not bring any casual clothes. Upon his getting to this flat, we went to David Jones near our place, and he bought three T-shirts for himself and two T-shirts for Yoji, and both of them were quite happy about it. Wonderful!!!
At night, after my daughter breast-fed Yujin, we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner, which was located within easy walking distance, and Yuko-chan joined us, as usual. It was a Hong Kong style restaurant (I prefer Pekingese or Taiwanese style, though) and the dishes were not so bad, but the service was excellent, and so my husband left a tip of 20 dollars. Yujin was quite, sleeping peacefully by our table, and there were not many customers, although it was virtually a huge restaurant and there were so many tables ready for guests. That was excellent for us.
Cherry, thank you for reminding me of the days when I was a young mother. I want to tell you about how I became a mother, but it is a long story, and so probably at some other time. Now I just want to tell you that being a mother and being a grandmother are totally different to me. Yujin is tremendously cute and lovely, but I am not his mother, and hence I try not to get too close to him. Do you understand what I mean? Besides Yoji is a fantastic father, and does what he has to do as a parent. They are a devoted parenting team. Of course I will do whatever I could do to help them, but I am mainly engaged in logistics.
Today, soon, we, five of us, are going on an overnight trip to Hunter Valley, and so I will not be able to write in tonight.
I will talk to you when I get back.
Bye, bye, my dear friends. Just be happy today.
