Thursday, April 19, 2012. Sometimes you need this! It was so yummy! Vanilla ice cream, fresh cream, sweet chestnut crepe. I love sweets especially when I feel tired or stressed out! It was then I had this. Last Sunday. I got revived, thank you, Mr. Crepe! Tuesday, April 17, 2012. Visited the Osaka castle with my mother-in-law last month. Look at the beautiful building! Yes, it's a good beautiful morning we have today! I'll have my piano student at 11 AM. Hope we have a good learning time together. We can...

Naoko's Journal: My senior chorus group!
http://butakotanaka.blogspot.com/2014/03/my-senior-chorus-group.html
Monday, March 10, 2014. My senior chorus group! I've been a director of a community senior choir for the past 14 years. We appeared at the stage of the city cultural festival last Friday. We are consisted of about 50 members, all over 60 years old. We have 3 people who are in their 90's! I loved their wonderful singing and so the audience did! We received a lot of kind comments that our music was impressive and moving. I'm very proud of them! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Naoko's Journal: English learning
http://butakotanaka.blogspot.com/2014/02/english-learning.html
Wednesday, February 19, 2014. I had English conversation class this evening. I go there every Tuesday. It's a small class, only three students and an American teacher. Except the English class, I don't have any chance to speaking English in my daily life. So what's my reason going there? Perhaps I feel fear of forgetting everything I learned up to now if I stop learning it. Perhaps I feel fear of getting old and cannot remember anything. Or what? It might be my last chance to make it true! I made it to V...

Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Recovery week -after the flu week-. Takao got a flu last week and we both had to cancel all the appointments and work for the whole week. We just stayed home and rested. So this week is a kind of "recovery week". He started to go to work from Monday, and I started to have lessons with my students also. I realized how much I enjoy having a musical time with my students because not only I teach them but also I can learn from them, too! She seemed so happy almost jumped around!

Monday, May 16, 2011. Making any negative event to be positive. I'm trying. trying what I put on the title of this entry. I've been practicing my piano quite hard since the quake occurred, I guess. I don't know why. No I knot why. Because, I want to forget something negative. I want to ignore something unhappy. I don't want to see the sad scenes on TV, newspapers, and so on. After watching it, I thought. then what? Yes, I got angry: why the government didn't tell the truth? I wouldn't say so. I would...

Monday, July 26, 2010. Morning coffee on the deck. My first morning in DC started on the lovely deck of Ben's. His wife, Debbie, enjoys her morning coffee time as she feeds birds and animals living around the house. It turned out to be my favorite time during my stay in DC! Every morning I woke up at my room upstairs and looked out of the window seeing Debbie already started her coffee, then I would take a shower, got ready to go, went down to join her. I definitely miss the morning coffee with them!
