Raining Day

I don't like rainy day. It reminds me Japanese rainy season. In general, it comes from end of May to end of July depends on year. I can't enjoy raining. I feel always depressed at the days. I don't like an umbrella and rain- boots either. On Sunday, Japanese grocery store was very slowing while I worked. It was very difficult to find my works. The time went to past slowly in that situation. I was very tired. I want to see sun. I miss Sunny day.

Saturday night


I'm going to introduce my friend, Andy. He is a university student and a singer. He had a CD release live in Manhattan on Saturday night. It was so cool. I really enjoyed listening his song with whisky and vodka. I love Andy's voice and percussion, Kozza. I heard Kozza's grandfather is a very famous percussionist and all his family members are percussionist or drummer. His play was amazing.
Andy was a my English teacher in last summer. My friend introduced him to me because he was looking for part-time-job. He wanted to teach English to Japanese people because his father is a Japanese. He can speak a little Japanese.
He really hope to succeed in the music world. The way is not easy. However, I'm going to support him. If someone is interested in his music, Please check the You Tube and type Andy Suzuki. You can see his live video.

Smile

I had good time with my classmates in volunteering. I was able to see different faces of classmates. We always see same faces in class. However, they seemed to enjoy the volunteering.We had good opportunity to clean up with shack at The greenhouse. After finished cleaning the shack, I saw the teachers' smiles and I saw the children's smiles too. Their smiles made me satisfied.

Happy Birth Day of my grandmother in N.Y


I've already talked about my friend who is the oldest among my friends in N.Y. She is like my grandmother. Fortunately, I didn't have work today. After finished school, I went to the flower shop where my another friend works and I bought a pretty bouquet. My friend made a good discount it. I took it and went to my grandmother's house. She was very happy to see me and we spent time together with coffee. She told me how hard to live in 1929 and compared between the world depression and now. At the time, in 1929 , she was 15 years old. She said she didn't have enough good and anythings. It was miserable. However, she has a healthy body and happy life.
I had very good time with her.

After work

It was like summer. Unfortunatery, I was working during day. I worked until 6:30pm. Today's my work was at the Japanese grocery store. They sell Japanese beer. I asked the maneger whether I can put beers into the refrigerator until I go back home. The manager accepted my request. I brought cold beers at home. When I arrived at my home, my friend family was having dinner in the back yard. They had a T-bone steak. I enjoyed having the beers and the steak. My friend daughter loves to eat meat aroud the T-bone. She held the bone in her hands and enjoyed eating. I love to eat at out of the house.

Spring


It was beautiful day today. I didn't like this season, spring when I was in Japan. I know Japanese spring is very beautiful, but I felt melancholy. I don't know why? However, it always changes weather during spring in Japan. Therefore, my feeling also changes every day.
One of other reason, why I was melancholy
in Japan is that it is time to change the grade
of a school. Japanese companies also accept freshmen in April. Spring is time to change for school and the companies schedules. However, I'm enjoying spring in N.Y. because it was very cold during winter. Flowers remind me Japanese beautiful spring. Now, I like spring.

Same-Sex Marrige.

There is currently a controversy about "Guy Marriage" in N.Y. Some of the U.S states allow to marry with guy couples. I have a many guy friends in Japan. All of my guy friends have good career and they succeed in their business. However, they have sufferings about their futures because they can't get married to lovers. One of them is a dress designer. He has a own company and gorgeous apartment in Tokyo. However, he doesn't have his children and life partner. He always worry about that he wonder if he died. I'll support to the idea "Guy Marriage" because guy couple are entitled to be happy. I think they are not unusual people. They just love person with same sex.
