The Imperial Family

HI, everyone!

Sunflower, I’m interested in the site which you showed to us. You had studied about a licensed prostitution before, hadn’t you? The Imperial Family exactly symbolizes the system which has forced women being birth-giving machines. If we think about gender equality seriously, after all we should deal with it. As long as that system remains, men can easily believe their superior position to women, and control us forever.

Today, November 12th, is our 12th wedding anniversary day. We enjoyed sukiyaki for dinner, and raised our glasses in a toast for our health.

So, it’s time to dish-wash. Good bye!

Hi, everyone.

Cherry, let me congratulate you on your 12th anniversary of wedding.

When I planted the flowers, I mixed rice bran with soil. today I found mold on the soil in the flower pot.
Is it my mistake? Now, is there a battle between the flower and the mold? In the air, there are innumerable spores of mold, we just don't notice them. When we notice them is when we get sick from the mold. Perhaps,it is when our immune system is weakened by stress, fatigue and infection with other virus and bacteria. That is caled an oppotunistic infection. I wonder how much the stress of our primate ancestor, such as asutralopithecus felt when he or she was pursued by a lion or other predetor. or looked for food without assurance that it was always available.
I think modern primate, homosapience sapience is susceptible to stress. Don't you think so?

Hello, Cherry and friends

Cherry, congratulation on your 12th wedding anniversary! How happy you have celebrated it, having a dinner together at home. In spite of sorts of difficulties and hardship, I think marriage and raising children are good experience for our lives. Please enjoy them.
By the way, what is the most unhappiness for you? Poverty, illness or s kind of tragedy such as an accident or natural disaster are of course kinds of mishaps. However even person in a good circumstance financially and physically sometimes feel unhappy. The person who are not allowed to speak out from his or her own heart, that is oppressed person surely feels miserable. I hope even royal family members should be permitted to express themselves. The Imperial Household Agency should rethink their role. They intends to protect the right of Royal family but actually they are a kind of enymy for the royal family. Now I’ll wrap up tonight. Bye, everybody.

Dear Cherry and friends,

Congratulations, Cherry!
Cheers for your happy family moment.

I was so tired that I went to bed earlier than usual last night.
Yesterday afternoon, Dr Mateo, a visitor from Canada, and I walked around on the campus. Before I showed her around the campus, she wanted to know where was the nearest church. She is a Catholic. She was extremely lucky yesterday. Within a huge campus, our laboratory building is next to a convent. That's why we started our tour from the convent to ask where was the church. The answer was easy. There was a chapel in the convent. Anybody can pray there. An lovely old sister guided us to the chapel. The sister also told Dr. Mateo that the Hirabari Church is the nearest church to the place where she stays now.

During summer, this campus newly opened a biotope which looks like a traditional Japanese garden with two ponds and a bridge made of stone. We walked along the ponds and took pictures.

Then, I told her about the place called World Plaza where nobody can speak Japanese. Dr Mateo was interested in it, so we visited World Plaza. The coordinator and her assistant welcomed us. We chatted there for a while and took pictures with people there. The coordinator told us there were two teachers from the Philippines who regularly visit World Plaza. So Dr. Mateo will visit the place before she leaves Nagoya.


I will write about another lady I met at World Plaza next time.
Have a good day.

Hello, Cherry and friends.

Congratulations on your 12th wedding anniversary! You are so happy that you can celebrate your anniversary. It's a good opportunity for your children to remember the day and notice how happy your family is.
In my case there hasn't been such an anniversary for a long time. We married on March 3rd, dolls' festival and it's easy to remember, but we lost the mood to celebrate and we spent this year's 34th wedding anniversary as usual, which was sad.
But recently I stop envying others because every house has its own style and actually I lowered my goal of happiness in order to feel happy more.
To tell the truth, I'm very happy to have good and precious friends around me. I appreciate that, thank you everyone.
