Prepared for the next fiscal year

I finished to plan for the next fiscal year.

Next week we all will make a presentation to others in the office... In other words, a battle.

Let me take a rest until then.

Junior high-school alumni party

Last weekend I attended a junior high-school alumni party.


There were 15 classmates.

Everybody has grown a good person.

We discussed what we were doing at and had been doing after the 3.11 earthquake.

Some went Tohoku for volunteer and some helped older people at the nursing home.

Sometimes acting is important than just thinking.

Swimming at night

I went swimming pool at night last Saturday.

I usually go there in the morning on weekends.

I had imagined not many people would be there as it was already 7:30pm.

But when I arrived there, there were many people in the pool.

Barbershop

On Saturday I went to a barbershop.

I stood on line 30 minute prior to the open time, because this shop doesn't allow reservation.

When I arrived the shop, there already were 6 people.

I'm the seventh.

Thats good as there were nearly 20 people when open.

Still working till night

As I wrote before, I finished my presentation and most of my work should have done...

But jobs come next and next.

I have to plan for the next fiscal year.
Ok, That's the usual schedule.

The problem is, my boss asked me to do it not only for our team but for other team also.

In total I did it for three teams.

Odaiba

I visited Odaiba on holiday.



There are lots of shops and most of those area are pet friendly, so good to go and enjoy holiday.

So beautiful.

Financial planning

I visited a financial planner to get advice about my life plan.

He advised me about the house loan.

"The faster you pay, the fewer you will pay in total."

I know I know, but ...

Red brick Bay area

Then I went to the red brick bay area near Hakodate-Yama mountain.


I like there because I was born in Yokohama and familiar with these sceneries.

I took a ride on a retro road train to go there.



And walked back beside the bay to Hakodate station.

Oasis in Shinagawa?

I had an outside duty yesterday.

This time I went to Shinagawa.

I arrived there before the time,
so I thought to kill time at a park.

I found the park on a map in front of the station.

But when I went there, it was...



Oh, people who lives in the town call this park...?
