Sunday in Tokyo
It’s almost like a dream, stepping out of my office today.
The sun is bright in the sky overhead and the street is silent, no sounds of traffic at all even though we are less than 20 minutes away from Tokyo Dome. My office is a small three-storey building with a clinic to its left, a large construction site (just a big hole in the ground at the moment) in front, and a sprawling traditional Japanese home right out of 19th century Kyoto to its right.
A couple pushing a baby pram strolls along. I feel a breeze, and suddenly ahead of me, cherry blossom petals from the tree in the park flutter across.
After the massive crowds of people pushing their way throughUeno Park, this scene is something out of a fairytale – fleeting, illusionary, so peaceful it doesn’t seem real at all. 50 paces later, I am on the main road and everything is back to normal.
Currently:-
Checking out – Gokujyou Seitokai, Futakoi Alternative, Tsubasa Chronicle, Speed Grapher, LOVELESS, Elemental Gerad
Reading – Pumpkin Scissors, Rozen Maiden, Bakuretsu Tenshi, XXXholic (ugh, I can’t believe I’m reading CLAMP again)
Eating – 7-11 Ooiri nikuman
Drinking – Georgia non-sugar Cafe Latte, ice water with a bit of Ooi Ocha Koi Aji, ginger tea
Sitting – Exercise ball (they are multiplying in the office!!)
Mistakes:-
- Not reporting to M-san about the HR thing. Should have sent an update, even if I was too busy to get anything done (which in itself was a bad thing). Always keep people updated on the status of work.
