New Year, etc.

Posted on 5th Jan 2009

When can I move to a story about Francis Bacon? Anyway, I'm going to write about after Xmas to now... So, after Xmas, I went to see Ms N. to be given reflexology. As I used to go to massage at least once a month in Japan, I was so happy to be relaxed. Thanks, […]

Christmas in the UK

Posted on 27th Dec 2008

Another different talk before Fransis Bacon. Christmas in the UK. It was in summer when I came here, so I was feeling like Christmas was still far away, but it's so quick the time flows. It was the second time for me to stay Christmas in the UK, but it was really fun again! One […]

Mulled Wine

Posted on 21st Dec 2008

A small story before writing about Fransis Bacon. When I went to a house warming party of my friend on the other day, I tried "mulled wine". Red wine + clementine + cinnamon and make it hot? I didn't know about it before, but I really liked it. Their house was amazing by the way....big […]

It's more than 1 week ago already, but it was my 2*th Birthday! I say thanks to everyone who sent me message! On that day, I went to Fortnum & Mason for lunch with my boyfriend. There are some restaurants and cafes inside the shop, but we went to the one called "The Gallery". We […]

onedotzero 08 (2)

Posted on 18th Nov 2008

So, the onedotzero report No.2. For some reasons, I went to see another movie named "j-star08" on Sunday. It consists of short motion graphics by 20 Japanese creators, including music video, short animation, adverts etc... and it was much better than I expected! The director of the event talked at the beginning, but he said […]

Posted on 17th Nov 2008

I went to see the event "onedotzero" last weekend with my friends. It's an event of "motion image", and it seems it was held in Japan last year as well. As the website says "There are some interactive installations", so I was so looking forward to it. But they are not so big... I'd like […]

The course started from last Monday.  The first week was induction...introduction of the course,  introducing each other, tour of the school etc...

BBC iPlayer, Sky News and London Paper

Posted on 11th Oct 2008

Because I don't have my TV in my room, one of my concern was how I can get everyday information. I usually use BBC iPlayerand Sky News. Although I don't remember how the previous BBC site was, I read an article saying their re-design was really successful. They are broadcasting their programmes of the past […]

Digital Design Day

Posted on 22nd Sep 2008

I went to Digital Design Week at Southbank Centre in London Design Festival. Well, I think the event was not so good... They had a seminar by apple talking about a workflow of digital design process, and a debate about new media by i-design. I was not afford to listen to i-design as it was […]

Upon the Thames

Posted on 16th Sep 2008

I like walking along the Thames. I think, around Westminster is always full of tourist, but around Design Museum which located near to Tower Hill is rather less people and good place to relax. If the weather is good, Tower Bridge looks amazing as well. The museums on Japanese tour guidebook are usually something focus […]
