Life in London

Productive Day

I had a very productive day on the other day. For lunch, I met a friend whom I hadn’t met for a while. She is in the exactly same position as I am in (i.e. finished master, switching to psw) so chatting with her is really fun and we can understand each other. She is also a very active woman and stepping forward one by one, so I can get really good affects from her. I’ve heard that “If you stay with negative people, you will feel like nothing works well and eventually nothing works actually. But if you stay […]

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 […]

Life in London, Music

coldplay, coldplay, coldplay…

I went to see coldplay! It was amazing. It’s still playing repeatedly in my head. Actually I was so excited already just because the place was Wembley. When I got to the station, I wished it was a football match… but no, that thought was wrong, coldplay was wonderful. I have seen coldplay twice in Japan… but this time was the best! Of course they are in their own country, their home city, and maybe because it was the last day of the tour, they looked really full of life. The live consists of both tracks from “Viva la Vida” […]

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 […]

Priscilla

I went to see the musical “Priscilla”. I didn’t know anything about the story, but it was amazing! The costume was so gorgeous, all the scenes was so energetic and powerful! I wish I could understand their jokes more… but still, their dancing was wonderful and I enjoyed it so much. Actually my friend’s friend is playing in this musical. Her name is Kanako Nakano. The scene she speaks was not too long, but her character was so unique and performance was great! It cheered me up as well, looking at a Japanese woman trying so hard in west end. […]
