The Rise of Skywalker

My daughter and I have been excited with Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker. What a movie!

We watched the final one of the saga twice, next day after its release and the next week. The conditions we had were perfect, both of which were at IMAX; one was 2D (upper pictures) and the other was 3D (lower pictures). I cannot decide which is better. I would say that both conditions were awesome.

It has been more than 4 decades since I say the first one, Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope, when I was a 6th grader at elementary school. The long story has finally finished with an unexpected and wonderful ending.

To my surprise, my daughter, 15-year-old, has been recently into Star Wars series. It seems like that her favorite characters include Anakin Skywalker and Poe Dameron, who are young, tough, and nice-looking guys.

Next day after the second watch of Star Wars IX: The Rise of Skywalker, we enjoyed Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, again!

College

This spring, my son got into college, Morinomiya University of Medical Sciences, where he has been learning about medicine to become a medical technician.

The other day, I took a day off and visited the collage with my wife. It was fairly compact and very friendly. Also, I was surprised to see a lot of energies of the youth.

We are not sure as his parents whether it was a good choice for his future to advise him to go there, although it seems like he has been enjoying college life.

Our hope is that Yuto would be satisfied with being a medical technician as a life-long career not only to make ends meet but also to be worth pursuing.

Yuto and I go Suzuka circuit for F1 racing

It took more than three hours from leaving home to sitting the seat, but it was a really fun trip.

Looking back, I was really into F1 when I was in collage. It has been more than two decades since my last F1.

The problem in the circuit was that no information was available during the race, because my cell phone's battery was dead and Yuto's SIM card suddenly broke. However, we were so excited with the speed, atmosphere, and sounds, not to mention F1 fans coming from all over the world.

I am looking forward to coming back to Suzuka again with my kids, maybe next year.

Koba runs like a bullet train!

Yesterday, a sport festival was held at the elementary school in my neighborhood.
My youngest son, Koba, is the 6th grader of the school and won the 100-meter sprint.

It is worth noting that his competition was the last race of the series, where the order was on a slower-run-first basis. So, he is the No.1 of the No.1 group. What an amazing achievement! No wonder he is so athletic, and really into soccer these days.

I look forward to seeing you in a soccer mach at junior high school next year.

All Apps completed

Here are my apps that are listed in a chronological order. It was my pleasure to have achieved a great feat.

It has taken one year since I started creating an apps. I cannot believe that I have created a total of eight apps, all of which are practical.

All the Japanese apps are for free, whereas the price of English apps is one dollar. My fun time is to check the number of these apps downloaded the day when I come back home after work. Although I do not intend to make a fortune by selling these apps, I am sure that I deserve what I have done.

I hope that these apps encourage young medical staff to learn about cardiology.

Summer Vacation in 2019

My summer vacation is one of the best vacations that I have ever had.
We did not have a sightseeing travel, and nothing special happened.
As you can see, however, no explanation is needed about how fun my vacation was.

I spent all my time with my family. I has been very thankful for the ordinary daily life.
I am quite excited to start my work tomorrow because, now, I am full of tons of energy!

P.S.
Someone may be surprised to see my daughter in the car, as shown in the last picture. She has just fallen asleep, as usual (not lost consciousness due to troubles). Don't worry about that. lol

I am proud of you, AYA.

My daughter got great points on the 1st exam which was performed at her high school this month. She came to the 9th in the high school where more than 300 students are learning. What an unbelievable result. I am really happy with it.

I am sure that her great points were not by sheer luck. I has seen her studying so hard for the exam. She deserves the results.

What has surprised me is her patience, as I described previously (*). She seems to be able to keep studying for a long time. It is not rare, for example, for her to focus densely on mathematics for more than three hours without taking any break.

Aya, your mom and dad are standing on your side. Do your best to make your dreams come true. Whatever your goals are, we will support you.

I Move!

My room at our house had been in the south-west corner on the second floor. There were a bed, a desk, and a chair in the room; I hardly spend times there aside from sleeping.

My wife suddenly asked me to change my room and our elder son's room. I accepted her suggestion because I had no reason to reject it. It seems like that his room can be hot because it has a bid window on the south side.

It took two hours. My son was excited, and my fife and I were happy to see him feel good.

My only concern was that I might not sleep well in the new room. It has been, however, soon proven to be a thing that I should have concerned. I am a person that I am able to fall asleep easily where I am.

In a few years, I will move again to give it to my younger son. The problem is where I should go. My plan would be to move a Japanese room, Washitsu, on the first floor, where my wife and younger son use to sleep.

Goodby Heisei, Welcome Reiwa!

Heisei has finished and a new era, Reiwa, will start.

During Heisei era, I have gotten tons, carrier, family, skills, etc. It is not exaggerating to say that I got every things I have now.

In terms of carrier, I graduated from medical collage, and got a medical license after passing the national exams. Later, I have become a cardiologist, and now, the chief of the department of cardiology in a major hospital.

I got married and have three children, two sons, a daughter. My wife is the best wife and the best mother. I have been really blessed to be surrounded by such fantastic family members.

It is worth noting that I have learned a different kinds of skills, including English, programming, education. I created several web pages for an educational purpose in the field of cardiology, some of which are written in English. Furthermore, I have released eight apps so far.

I have not had material possessions any more.
During the Reiwa, I am going to contribute to society and other people as long as my stamina and energy persist.
I am really looking forward to seeing what I would be able to do over the coming Reiwa.

A date

My daughter and I enjoyed a short trip to Kyoto.

The other day, she asked me to take her to Kyoto all of a sudden. I did not know why she came up with this idea, but I accepted her request in no time. I know of Kyoto because I used to live there for more than 10 years.

Our schedule was busy, including Doushisha, Demachi, Shimogamo shrine, my university, Shijyo, Gion, and Nishiki market. Furthermore, after enjoying Kyoto, we came by Banpaku Expo park to see the inside of the tower of the sun.

It took almost  10 hours, but we never felt tired. Every moment was amazing to me! I was so happy just only to see you laughing, Aya. You were also curious about everything you experienced. What a fantastic time. I won't forget it.

Hope to go there together again.

LINE sticker

While I was talking to my younger son about LINE stickers,  he suddenly declared that he would draw pictures for LINE sticker.

Actually, he did it with my support. Amazing!

How cute they really are. The most practical sticker is the octopus with a gold crown saying "I'll be back." My routine is to sent this sticker to my wife on the way home (i.e., I am on the escalator at Dainichi station). Thanks, KOBA.

You can find a set of the stickers on LINE with a search term "KOBA work."

He is an idol.

My younger son is doing something. It seems like he is writing a letter.

Later, my daughter happened to find on the dining table the letter that he spent half an hour. It is for a prize competition where you have a chance to get a toy.

The picture on the lower right is almost the same of the present (a figure of a pig by nanoblock®). How cute! Our little son has been an idol for everyone in my house.

We hope that he will get the prize.
