Dream on When you were a kid, All adults surround you encouraged you to have dream. They said the bigger the better and your dream would come true if you really believed in. So you started to dream to dream. You believed that you can be anyone or you can do anything you want. As you grew up and reached a certain point of your life, people would start to say that why you are still holding on to your childhood dream. Get real, have your life. So you probably start killing your dreams one by one inches to inches. You may feel as if you are allowed to dream only which you think you can achieve in reasonable amount of time and space. You are slowly forgetting how to dream. Then suddenly someone asks you what your dream is then you answer would be you have none because everything you can come up with are all you are able to do. Those are not something you can call as dream. It's just wants. But people would say that you're having a pity life. So Don't let anybody kill your dream as you're getting mature. Hide it in a stash until the time comes. Don't speak out before the people who cannot understand you. Then you will know when to let it out and that moment comes, go get wild with your dream.

Bucket List I'm not gonna kick my bucket any time soon but making a wish list is something fun to do. So I will start writing some. 1. Travel around the world. Sounds cheesy ? I don' t care. I will do what I want to do. That is the list for. 2. Play the music with my old school friends I played rock music with my friends when we were in high school. After the graduation, we've walked separate lives and rarely seen each other. So someday I want to make the band reunion just for one day. 3. Study at college I haven't gone to college YET!!! There is nothing wrong following my intellectual interest all through my life. I don't need any accolade by going to school. Just saturate a thirst of knowledge. That's it for now and list will go on as time passes by.

Watershed I drove around mountainous area in very central part of Japan last weekend. When I got at a foot of a mountain, I encountered a watershed. That was my first time to see it. I felt greatness of nature by just staring at a small stone monument. Of course Japan is a small island, but still I could feel natural wonder. Imagine if one drop of rain touch the land and goes to right. It eventually reaches Pacific Ocean. If it goes to left, it running down to Japan See. 180 degree of direction. That is watershed is all about. It is only a sheer chance which direction it could go. It makes people pondering what lives they have talked. I am also the one.
