Quite some time ago, Dave’s lengthy review of Stranger Than Fiction caught my mind, though I couldn’t really digest everything at that time, somehow at that moment, I already felt that I for sure will come back to this post to understand what it actually means, as I sensed there is something between the lines - or the whole thing - that I actually wanted an answer for my own situation. And that situation apparently seemed to have the similarity with what Dave had had before.

I am not a follower of other’s life, but if there is some similarity might happen, I wished to know a bit more of what people think and thought about it. Very natural, but sometimes it is hard to listen to people’s advice. I am not sure if this has anything to do with ones age or personality, I have been listened to people’s advice, though I don’t think I have changed - better or worse - in either way. Have I myself? That’s not about that. But, I just don’t change much from the past. Don’t get my wrong, I think I work very hard to change for the better, but apparently, we don’t likely change much.

If you think it that way, that means we most likely would not change much from who we are and how we think and act. When we listen to someone else, that’s the time things got a bit out of control, not folow the master’s mind. That means when there is any decision making involves, it actually gives us a hint of how the answer is going to be like.

I have meant to write a lengthy post about how I think about my past from a different angle of view for a while. It most likely will take some more time.

Meiji shrine is a good place to spend the whole weekend there. It’s deep, and it’s far from the crowd, the tower in the photo is at Shinjuku, so close yet so far. We had a great time there.

After that when we walked out to Harajuku, it was a hell there! Full of people, people, and people.

It’s been a while again. Looks like blog tool isn’t “trendy” for frequent updates. I also use twitter, posterous, to do some quick updates. I am not sure if I will be continue using it, thought.

Busy at work, as usual, but compared to a couple of years ago, I think I work very hard now. Now sure if it’s the right thing now, but I think I feel to keep it that way, at least in a couple of years from now. The reason I say so is because, for the things that I enjoy a lot, but it doesn’t seem to be the job that I can do my best, it could be about matching, or my capability, though I doubt the latter. I can do it well, to some extent (that’s the point!).

My wife starts to take a day off - she worked two days of weekends, now she only works for one day, mostly Sat and rest on Sun. So, we family go out more often together on Sunday. I feel thankful for her to be with us. I tend to get very mad about lots of things when she is not around. Not a good thing I know, but I don’t think I can control myself. At the same time, I don’t think I try, though.

Erin has started to participate in a volleyball group nearby under primary school team. That keeps her busy, and me as well. At least now she is occupied for half a day for Sat and Sun.

Now, I will have a bit more of my own time. That’s the few updates recently.

Iced but without ice. The master, who works on his own, really takes time to make each order, and it really worth the wait. Great coffee!
