How do you think? The Cove

2010-03-08T17:32:00.004Z

This documentary film got an Oscar yesterday. The film was shown in Tokyo film festival last year but most of Japanese people don't know this... I saw NHK news today and People in Taijicho voiced their disappointment over "The Cove" winning the Oscar for best documentary at the Academy Awards on Sunday night, saying the film about the town's dolphin hunting is inaccurate and intolerant of cultural differences.
How do you think??

Legend died...

2010-02-11T17:00:00.003Z

Alexander McQueen died today...
He hanged himself at his flat. Newspaper said he had been depressed since his mum passed away a week ago.
We lost such a talented fashion designer... he was just only 40 years old.
His office is near my work. They must be so panic.
This is photo of him and his mum.
Thanks for giving us lot of inspiration!

TUBE STRIKE

2009-06-10T18:14:00.005+01:00

TUBE STRIKE WAS TAKEN PLACE AT 7PM LAST NIGHT FOR 48 HOURS.
It is really chaos around street.... bus can't move because of traffic and everybody is walking.
This reminds of me of the terrorist attack in London. Everybody was walking as all transport were stopped.

I got a food poison..... by the way.
Hopefully I can go back home without problem, not only traffic also toilet.....

Can you believe that you can buy a car just $2000?
This is from Tata motors in India. They will start to sell in Europe from 2011.
It is going to be a revolution for car industry.

Papa y Daddy

2009-05-19T18:05:00.005+01:00

How wonderful this is!!
I think it is really important to give lots of Love to child. No need to be their parents.

Will and his adopted daughter Stassa get ready for Will's marriage to his male partner, in Barcelona, Spain. Will and his partner originally lived in California, where they were wedded in 2004 when the mayor of San Francisco made marriage licenses available to same-sex couples. The Supreme Court of California later declared these unions void. The couple moved with Stassa to Barcelona, where resident same-sex foreigners may legally marry.
She called them "Papa" y "Daddy". She studies at school in Barcelona and speaks Catalan and Spanish with her friend which is her secret language, as they can speak neither of them.

Accidents!

2009-03-19T23:48:00.005Z

On the way to our office, I saw a fire & rescue car was fallen down.

I arrived at office and I saw another accident just in front of our office.
One lady was knocked over by courier motor bike... I was watching her friend wearing purple jacket.
She was praying, asking help and had been next to her. But finally her friend died in front of her... She saw her friend was hit and after a while she died.
Despite we created a motor bike, car, train and plane, they can kill us so easily.... We are so fragile and so weak.
Like a lady wearing purple jacket, we can't do anything to save one life. Also I was just watching from our office and couldn't do anything. But I am aware that I have to appreciate my life and now.

This day of change

2009-03-18T21:57:00.004Z

This day of change. ←Crick here!
1.20 is the day of change. Yes Obama became an American President.
COURRiER Japon asked more than 100 photographer all of the world to take a photograph in that day. Some photos were in US and some are in Asia and Africa, etc.

It is really harsh!

YOU ARE HERE TO BE HAPPY

2009-03-12T13:55:00.009Z

Today something had touched me……….
Spain has new Coca-cola spot, I’m sure all the Spanish people know about it but I want to share with this ones who don’t live in Spain.

As you know coca-cola publicity is always good, shows happiness and in general is quite emotive, quite touchy….but this one is different….
The advert shows the story of Pep Mascaro and Aitana, he is a granddad who is 102 years old (is a real person, he’s is from a small town in Mallorca, he has 6 sons, 33 grandsons and 38 grand grandsons) and Aitana who is a newborn baby girl in Madrid ….. all the story is real, you see the granddad is his real life how active he is, what he likes to do…..and how he takes the first plane of his life to go to Madrid to meet Aitana….. and at the same time they show us how Aitana arrive to the world, so, they reunited the youngest and the oldest person in the country…
And the whole point of the story is…..
"What would you say to someone who came into the world at a time like this."

And the message (is the voice in off in the advert which is in spanish sorry….) from Pep Mascaro (the 102 years old grand dad) is the following:
"Hola Aitana , My name is Josep Mascaró and I am 102 years old. I'm lucky, lucky to have been born, like you.
Lucky because I could hug my wife, for having met my friends, for having said good bye to them, to still be here. You must be wondering what was my reason for coming to meet you today and will be many people who will tell you that how did you think about to arrive at such a times, that there is a crisis that is impossible to be here... ja!!!! that will make you strong.
I have lived worst moments, but in the end, the only thing you'll remember are the good things. Do not entertain yourself in nonsense an find what makes you happy, the time runs too fast.
I lived 102 years and I assure you that the only thing you will not like of life is that is too short.
YOU ARE HERE TO BE HAPPY. "

You can watch it in here:

Even in Spanish is worth watching it…..it really touch you…
I guess as many as you will do watching it I couldn’t stop thinking about my granddad! He was so much like him!!! And even he’s not with us anymore I want to dedicate this post to all the granddads and grandmas in the world, because they deserve it, because even they had it worse they had done it and because without them none of us would be here.
And remember even sometimes life looks difficult:
YOU ARE HERE TO BE HAPPY

Ghost Bicycle

2009-02-26T21:49:00.007Z

I found some white bicycles today.

Here is some message.

Closer.

'LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY.'

Actually I thought this is cool art project, to be honest with you.
It is called "Ghost Bicycle", wherever there is a "Ghost bicycle", it is tribute to dead riders. So there was the place some rider was dead... I am a cyclist as well and had nearly an accident.... I have to cycle carefully.

JR the hippest street artist since Banksy

2009-02-18T05:16:00.012Z

JR’s work in Kenya is only the latest in a number of ambitious community projects he has undertaken to aggrandise “ordinary people”.

The exhibition also looks beautiful. JR has a thing for eyes and noses and mouths. Viewed from above, the effect is a kind of physiognomical carnival — one that emphasises the vitality of the photographic subjects. “Normally,” says JR, “you have to be very famous to have your picture blown up so big. But these are just ordinary people, with everyday stories.”

COURRIER JAPON

2009-02-17T00:14:00.010Z

This is COURRIER JAPON, world news magazine which is sourcing from world wide magazines and newspapers. It is originally from Paris, is called COURRIER INTERNATIONAL.I just got to know this magazine through my work, currently I am working with them. Their point of view is not from Japan but also out side of Japan, and they are featuring the thing we haven't seen on top page of newspaper.

Recently I think we are not buying a magazine and a newspaper, because of internet and also free newspaper. We should get more source from different media, otherwise we won't doubt and think anything. "Thinking is always first step of changing!" "Yes, we can."

Food in Rome.

2009-02-16T23:50:00.014Z
