My younger brother "Katsushi" got married with cute and kind bride "Chiaki" who is nurse in Osaka. Until today, they've been going together for three and half years and also, Katsushi lived in Kyoto and Chiaki did in Osaka. I'm pretty glad to get a splendid sister. Starting today, I'm sure they will create a happy home! I'm looking forward to seeing your baby soon!

"Wicker Park ~White Lies~"

(C)2003 Lakeshore Entertainment. All rights reserved.

This love story was so painful and mysterious. If I remember right, this movie was remade of French movie, L'APPARTEMENT featuring Romane Bohringer, Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel.

Matthew who is young investment banker and has a beautiful fiance sees the woman who resembles Lisa in a cafe and the story begins. Lisa left him without saying anything around 2 years ago. And he finds the key of the hotel where Lisa is likely to stay. Getting her room, he finds weeping woman named Lisa but different person whom he expects to see.

In "Wicker Park", every character is lying and these lies are White Lies. Of course they don't attempt to rip apart somebody but all of them get hurt as a result. Matthew is concealing that he can't get Lisa out of his system. Lisa couldn't answer his proposal in a second. Luke who is friend of Matthew's and asking Alex for a date told a lie to Matthew as he already slept together. And Alex...

I could see in this movie that people can't help falling in love although they have trouble with it. Moreover, we might rip apart someone without knowing when we love someone.

and then...

Today, we carried out Walk-rally convention as planned. It was raining all day, but we have to make it because we arranged the foodstuff, a few drinks beforehand. The part of the course determined in advance was minimountain pass so we had to change and shorten the course as people didn't walk the dirt road.

Consequently, the time was shortened and the schedule was changed but all participants seemed to enjoy it and have fun. No one complained and felt satisfied, which gave me lots of pleasure. In any case, I was relieved as this event was finished without incident. I've felt tired too much...

Oh my...

Tomorrow, we are supposed to host Walk-rally & enjoy a BBQ and a few beers. Walk-rally is to walk a course which is determined beforehand with a map in hand. This is an annual event of our company. And every year, I planned the course and check-points where people answer the quiz or play the game and got ready the foodstuff and a few drinks for the BBQ.
But... It's been raining for several hours... And the forecast says that it's gonna rain tomorrow. I feel disappointed too much. Please somebody, stop raining! Don't let me down!
