Art & Design exhibition @ shimokitasawa

Sunday went to hv lunch with kuni then went to an art and design exhibition in shimokitasawa(下北澤) with maki and ikumi. Its in a small club and it was fun meeting lots of new talented japanese artist. Bought a t-shirt from Takumi who is now running his own shop mememachine in shibuya (www.mememachine.jp), the print is very special and it will belong to someone soon as I lost betting on Germany in the Euro final!

Also met tomo who's design strongly reminds of andy warhole and vivien westwood and stylish as she is, i think shes got great potential in future. (www.shojonotomo.com)
Not to mention asako's austrialian & south american style accessories, which my frds love very much..

It was an interesting day and look forward to visit takumi's shop this weekend.

Thelma Aoyama

New favourite on my ipod, a girl with japan, south america and caribbean origin also inherit their music talent from havana. With deep and stylish voices she captures the many souls in japan, immensely popular in kareoke and on tv.
Keep reminding me of someone when I listen to her songs...

busy busy busy...

Life is getting busy.. time seems to fly, i guess its a good thing.

next week Hong Kong, then Beijing, then Hokkaido.. and more expecting.
would be nice to have a private jet.

Chalie Wilson's War

Yesterday I went to see Charlie Wilson's War with lan, masa and natalia. The film is about one US congressman Charlie Wilson, how he uses his power, political and diplomatic skills to fight for military funding for Afghanistan refugees against the Russian Soviet union.

First of all I felt very sorry about Natalia because she is russian and the whole film has been nothing but stereo-typing, and evilizing the communism of the soviet union, instigating of the whole anti communism propaganda. In a not very nice way.

However the film has been smartly written, especially the witty script which I found very interesting and somehow deep meaning underneath, what I called the mens talking. It makes me realised how much I have to learn to become a true man, to bear not only ones but others responsibilities, to conquer your own fear, and at the same time bring humor to people around.

Charlie Wilson's War, a film for all those who enjoy witty conversation, bit of political history, and the fans of Tom Hanks.

One Chance

So often people disbelieve anything too good to be happened. They refuse to open one's heart to adventures, to freedom, to fantasies. Thinking it may jeopardize what they already have, the safe zone.

So often these people have missed many chances, the one chance that may change their live, the one chance that they may not regret have taken.

How many chances have I missed, have you missed.

Grab this chance today, be it your desire, your ambition or your fantasy.
Before too late.
