Strong coffee & flavored tea

I lhave lunch at Starbucks recently. The food are a little costly though they have atmosphere and staff are pleasant which I like. However they don't prepare food for vegetarians. All sandwich contains meat. It might be only in Japan. I'll check out in my next trip.   Steamed milk, cinnamon roll and raspberry yogurt

Just like the name implies, it is a North European style cafe. They make aero press coffee that uses the power of air. Coffee taste is strong but also very mild.   @ Gotanda They open from 7am.

The Spring came. New Haruki Murakami book is coming next month. The picture below is the Art of Ikuo Hirayama who is a Japanese artist and past away in 2009.

Ho'oponopono is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. Those simple mantra sounded out repeatedly. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you. It heals and cleanses yourself and the situation as well as karma. I like saying this while I'm relaxed in a bath since there is not much other activities. It is simple, yet powerful. Thank you is a good word. It has the best vibration. When you learn other language, it comes first to remember, isn't it. Merci-French Gracias-Spanish Shukran-Arabic Arigato-Japanese Kamsa hamnida-Korean Xie xie-Chinese etc, etc. Forgiveness is tough one, isn't it. You might think, why I have to forgive? He did this, she said that, they hurt me... It much easier to release those feelings than carrying them forever. It is as muscular training. You get loads to increase your power and energy. Those events are past and only yourself are present. Forgiveness is an essence of love.

Happy Valentines day!

Using the intuition and guesswork are very different thing. As its name suggests, sixth sense goes after fifth.  Fifth sense is actual sense that refers to " smell ", " taste ", " tactile ", " hearing " and " vision". On the other hand, sixth sense is "inspiration" or " precognition" and it is something can't explain.   Anyone should have an experience that when follow inner voice, as result turns out good. But it is not only lucky, it is also based on day-to-day work.

The fire lit within you. It is fire of creativity. It wants to make appearance otherwise you feel missing something in the life. Because the fire remains smolder inside no matter what you are thinking.

Kobe is located in Hyogo prefecture which is between Osaka and Okayama. It was once the capital of Japan in 1180. It lasted only 5 months. Ikuta shrine, somehow the guardian lion dogs in this place are manly. Turkish apple tea for lunch in Turkish restaurant. I asked if they could make pizza without meat, though the lady said surprisingly that they were supposed to be provided together. And she added, it was a rule. The shop wasn't busy at all. You may say the foods are already mixed so it is not easy, etc. Then I wouldn't mind. But I wonder what rule are they. She just made it for herself and it symbolized her narrow world. She may be right but not nice. So I ordered just cheese salads and the apple tea. But I also wonder I had unpleasant event today it is because I, too, have some persisted ideas in somewhere so this may give notice that.

The one I posted by my iPhone using Blogger app looks ok as well as the picture. How convenient it is! Now I'm at Tully's coffee in Osaka and waiting for a bus.
