More than 8 hours of facing computer at work, then another 3-5 hours after work – the usual lifestyle of someone who’s into I.T. (or should I say, internet addicts?). For someone who lives away from home, I’ve jumped into a monotonous lifestyle. So predictable. On rare occasions, boring. Then an invitation to get involved [...]
Days ago, Akane-san and I we went to a takoyaki (literally fried or baked octopus) restaurant here in Osaka. I love takoyaki but cooking it is entirely a different story. In that restaurant, a stuff just pour the ingredients onto those takoyaki pans. The rest is up to the diners. Forming a decent takoyaki was [...]

And the birthday treat she asked: just a lunch date with my family at the country’s famous fastfood restaurant: Jollibee. She’s already in her [...]
