It's starting!

Cooper no.1

I run cooper test today during the 2 hour morning jog. Last time I have done it 7 years ago. Didn't reach my goal with this first try. Missed 120m from 3000m. Next time then... (^_^)b

First cherry blossoms

Yoyogi park's first blossoms...

breakfast

Hee, my brother Janne likes natto (fermented beans) as breakfast. :) It must be in genes then...

travellers finally here

Finnish travellers, Janne, Noora and Satu, just arrived. Hungry and tired after their loooong trip. :D

Electronics shop

Still after 1.5 years this magnificent country is able to suprise me every now and then...

Last Saturday I went to buy a new watch and some games for DS and PSP (hehe, among others I bought Tekken!) from Shibuya's "Biggu Camera" electric store. On the sixt floor they had a huge selection of alcohol surrounded by house electronics! Maybe local people visits this store as often as supermarket...

Great weather

Hee, today I can keep my balkony door open and just hang around wearing t-shirt. +20 outside and the sun is shining. :)

I think that this week I pushed my body a bit too much (hard training in the gym and long hours in lab) and now I've to pay for it. A cold is trying take over me...again. This time of year when many people are sick around here, it's not wise to lower one's immune defence. Well, what can I do...just rest for a while and continue as before. Hehe, perfect day for just relaxing and watching movies (or some anime = studying japanese;).

Ok, time to continue resting. ;) Although, I should go out and start preparing myself for hospitalization (meaning, go to "Big Camera" and buy some games for psp and DS).

cha, matane.

Back in business

Sitting in the last train to home...again. This far I could resist against working late (since Christmass). Immediately when something new and interesting comes up in research, I lose my disipline and start working like mad man. (O.o)/

Normally I practice kanji's while sitting here but now too tired for that. And way too long I have been neglecting updating this blog. Wonder how slips always like this even I could update so easily using my cellural...like now. :D

Hmmmm...

Did I already mentioned that couple of weeks ago I started to use stairs to go up in my lab. It's good excercise for the knee (doctor told me to keep muscles supporting the knee in good shape)...lab is on the 8th floor. Everyday at least 3 times have to climb those stairs...somedays tripled :) Didn't realise before how good exercise it is!!

Now we have two Israeli's friend from Israel visiting and day after they leave my next guests are arriving. Time surely flies now.

Oh, almost forgot. Yesterday we had really warm day! Unfortunately the spring didn't start that suddenly and today the winter coat was back on...as also +30 degrees on the screen of airconditioner. ;P

Ok, almost home. One station more. Phoooh, after 8h have to be back in the lab.
