Already end of July? Yes, it is... we have 5 months to go for now.
Oh boy...



Transformers 3 in theater from this weekend in Japan and I didn’t hold much to see this movie.
MoonFlower and I selected 3D one... even though we both wear glasses... so 3D lenses to be put on the top of it... hard to keep in the right location. Sometimes, irritating... hahaha.

Well, fun movie once again... though, how come Sam gets another girlfriend like that?
How come last girlfriend dumped him after all that (from previous movie)???

Funny thing... Sam doesn’t look like good match to such sexy girlfriends... In this movie, the girl was much taller... I didn’t get it.

Sam’s perfect match kind girl... is one appeared in the “Wall Street.”

For me, I have never read comics or watched TV series... so the story of this movie is from that or original... I do not know. The story is human-like... conflict of interest and different way of thinking... among robots. Hahaha.

This time war took place in Chicago... so where is next?



On the way back home, we picked up a cheap bottle of sparkling wine...
I didn’t hesitate to open it tonight. It is rare to do so in Sunday evening.
Oh, I do not have to work tomorrow. That’s why...





We just had salad after that... that was it for our supper tonight.

Haven’t been to MoonFlower’s home for a while...
Maybe it was absolutely first time for me to go in this year??? Am not 100% sure.
Anyhow, I spent entire day with MoonFlower and Mother-in-Law.



During the shopping for house stuff, I bought two bags of lottery...
They are for Eastern Japan Disaster Recovery Lottery.

At least helping to the aid for reconstruction of those disaster area...
and hope I win some money! (to help my household somewhat)

At dinner, there were overwhelming amount of great foods on table...
Mother-in-Law made lots of my favorite dishes... They were so good!
I definitely ate... overeating!

Finally... it is here...

I had to say, “Thank you” & “Good-bye” to those who I worked for in the project today.
Yes, it was my last day in the project site.

From August, I am no longer active consultant to that client.
Instead, I become an Account Manager to this client.
Have to manage some consultants still working in the project.

Well, it was quite significant time for me to be with this client.
Over several years... I learn more than I actually gave as management consultant.
Maybe? Maybe not. Hahaha.

At least I got similar experience and networks as T-birds... I have good connection to San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Singapore. It can be more...

It is my new beginning from next month...
I have tons of new things on my list and I have to follow.
Lots of people are yet watching me how I do it...

One more day to go... this week is so tough and troublesome to me. Is it all my fault? Surely, it is. Hahaha.
Today, it is old tradition to eat eels for preparing coming hot summer.
I do not know everyone really eats them for today.
At least, my household follows such old custom.



Among all “Dansk” mugs, I use my MBA’s mug... Thunderbird. Ha!
I do not recall whether I bought this or I got this for free.
It is surely good memory, though.



Eel!!!
MoonFlower always picks domestic one... this was BIG!
Taste really good as well.

This means that both of us, MoonFlower and I, are ready for summer.

July 20th... is my pay day!
Well, much more than that... 2 years ago... in 2009 - MoonFlower and I got married.
Already 700+ days spent together. Really time is flying. Unbelievable.

Same time last year, we were quite busy about buying new home (where we live for now). Didn’t have much spare time then...

Today, I wanted to go out to dine with her. Maybe a couple of cocktail drinks after dinner.
Didn’t come true. I couldn’t make any move about it due to work... unexpected overwhelming amount of work flown into my side. Too bad. I felt bad about it to MoonFlower.

So she came home and cooked. Ate together... as usual. Nothing really special.
Oh except one. She bought cakes for ourselves... so we had a nice sweets after supper. Great.

Well, let’s keep the hope that things would go in peace for a long time from now with MoonFlower and we (I?) continue making (all necessary) efforts to keep this household moving.
I am surely thankful to MoonFlower for all she does for me (us).

One last thing... her next birthday is in 2 days... I should start worrying about it now. Hahaha.

Back to work. Bitter start it was... for me.
Had business lunch with some client... and I came to face tough situation.
I’d better suck it all up... but it was tough. Hahaha. Didn’t expect to. Part of my job, right?

This week is shorter... just matter of 4 days... let me keep fingers crossed for peace.

Over past weekend, I saw a movie.

“Andalusia, the Revenge of Goddess”



This is like Japanese style “James Bond” movie. Hahaha. No violence, though.
Location took place in France and Spain.

Obviously, the story ends in Andalusia.

I bet that this is going to be a big movie series... in fact, this is 2nd one after “Amarfi” - Italy.

Hope they’ll do a better job next time! Hehehe.

Another bag... to my collection!
*Les Toiles Du Soleil.* Surely it is from France.



This size isn’t part of my collection... so it was perfect fit to my needs! Hehehe.



Not only of the bag... but also...



Luncheon mats... yes, they are place mats. MoonFlower and I selected one each for ourselves.
Good shopping... I like this brand because of beautiful colors!

Too bad that weekend is now ending... short week but tough week is ahead. I better sustain... and survive!

It was French dinner for our main celebration over this stay.
I didn’t have much idea how good this restaurant would be... but turned out to be positive surprise!
Food was really good!

















Surely, MoonFlower was happy with this course dinner.

Came to Hotel Nikko Tokyo... located in Daiba, Tokyo.
Yeah, this is very short trip for us... but this is yet important.
It is for our 2nd year wedding anniversary!



Plus, this is FREE stay... since I won the free stay at this hotel way back in January! Hahaha.







Nice view from the room balcony... Rainbow Bridge is just ahead.
Well, will spend relaxing time here with MoonFlower. Hope we like this hotel as much!

Right after my business trip, I had to make a short trip...
Trip to the rock band concert. Took place in Saitama.

It was of band called "Spitz." Of course, it is MoonFlower's favorite.
She even joins the fan club. Indeed!



So she got tickets for both of us, giving me no choice whatsoever.
Though, I kind like this band for now...

It is soft rock... not heavy at all. Fun music indeed.

Fun night we spent.
