wanna see sumo.

As I see lots of articles about Asasyoryu (Mongolian sumo wrestler) recently, I’m gonna write about sumo today. When I was a kid, I used to love to see sumo on TV. At that time, there was a great champion called Chiyo-no-fuji, but a young wrestler called Taka-no-hana was becoming stronger. It was just the time of generation change. Even after he defeated Chiyo-no-fuji, there was another big wresler called Akebono, (He was such a big and strong guy.) and Taka-no-hana used to be pushed easily. But he finally grew enough to throw that big Akebono, it was such an […]

Happy New Year!

I did it…I got a cold on the new year’s eve. It’s been a bit tough since a few days ago but I had to work, and was planning to clean my room on 31th…but I couldn’t. I got a medicine, was sleeping for afternoon, and just ate “toshikoshi-soba” (Japanese noodle for new year’s eve), and went to bed. Today I’m feeling slightly better but still not well enough. But my landlady cooked Japanese new year’s meal for me! Ahhhhh I appreciate it. OK, I’m gonna start by writing 2009 review… the last year was [a receptive year] Last year […]

Witnessed Google phone?

I often see articles about Google phone recently, but I think I witnessed it today. When I was on the tube, a man sit down next to me. He looked to be in a hurry, and was fumbling about in his bag. And then he took out a box which looked like to contain a new mobile. Oh yeah, he got a new smartphone? Thinking like that, I found a word on the box, saying “Nexus one”. Nexus One…? Was it the name of the Google phone? …or was it just a name of another Android phone? Google phone is […]

リス達の闘い（２）

(Sorry this post is in Japanese only) 昨日リス達が闘っていたという話を書いたのですが・・・。今日ちょっと買い物行って、帰ってきたら、またいた！全く同じ木に！２匹！まだケンカしてた！ 今度はちょうど取っ組み合いの最中、そのうちチップ（仮名）が木の実を奪って道の反対側へ。デール（仮名）に背を向け木の実をもぐもぐ食べているチップの背中をデールは哀愁漂わせながら呆然と見ていたのでした・・・。 早く仲直りしろよ〜。

Diary, Life in London

came back to London.

After staying in Japan for a while, I came back to London. It was wonderful to see lots of my friends, thank you! To whom I couldn’t see this time despite you contacted me, I’m so sorry! I will definitely go to see you next time. During the stay, I went to see Kabuki, ate lots of yummy foods, went for shopping etc… it was such a wonderful time! As it was too wonderful, I felt so sad when I left Japan… I can’t see them for a while again. But this is the way I decided to go, so […]

Desgree Show, finishing the course, etc.

The course finished last week. One year was so quick! For the last project, we made an iPhone application called “Alight”. Alight is an application to allow users to associate their small ideas in daily life with particular location, so that they will have more chanced to develop them further. I was in charge of interface design. I know iPhone is not small as mobile phone, but still designing menu for small screen was good learning for me. We used 50inch plasma TV for the degree show, so I had to edit some footages (which I hadn’t done for a […]
