A Rambling Post on the Second Last Day of 2015

Somehow it feels refreshing at the end of the year in Japan. Ever office, shop and people take a holiday and spend time with families. All houses are get ready to welcome a new year god to the houses by cleaning them up. And people buy groceries at the super markets like  hibernating throughout winter. I bought a lot of books on Kindle. They have gotten more collections these days than they used to be. I read Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens on Christmas, admired Fred that he is always cheerful and never been untruth to Scrooge. Tree lights at Roppongi BB-8 is our new hero I watched Star wars episode VII on the Christmas too.  Just baked cake in the oven  And baked tube cakes a few times.  A packages of rice cake stuffed with bean jam One thing good about getting age is to appreciate how beautiful nature of  a spirit of service is. Moreover we can turn inwards and examine ourselves.

Even If you could leave kids at day care, the parents have to pick up kids when they become feverish, and it is usually mother's role. Many mothers choose working with a reduced schedule, at home or leaving the company. Street lights in the night @ Nakameguro On the other hand, there are women who work ha
