なーんかうまくいかないときってあるよね。

what people always like is
something simple and clear. means,
"easy to understand"

What people always like is
something not annoying, uncomplecated
"smooth to go"

what people always like is
small problem which can solve.
it gives you
"feeling of achivement"


now is the time to see this.

last day I met an old lady as a customer
to my shop.

I remember her because she asked me lots of things
about our goods or some information of the location
where our branches are.

TOday the old lady came to the shop again.
and as soon as she recognizd me,
she simled and started to admire my behavior
to her last day.

first, I was surprised to know that she remembered
my face. I served hundreds of people everyday
and also didin't expect to be remembered by someone.

what she said to me was how nicely I treated her and
on the contrary she was treated badly in one of our branches.

as a matter of fact, I'm not good at customer service
even I think the job is not for me.

because I can't stand impolite customers even if they
paid a lot. so what.
you should be good enough to use much money
Paying doesn't mean that you can do anything
what you want.
especially now I work in the area of rich people
I see they are used to be treated nicely
and think it natural.

of course I don't express my feeling
on the face directly even if I feel angry for customer
but to hide emotion can be stress easily.

but the old lady who visited me
she told me the pleasure of service occupation.
in fact she had a choice not to come to see me again
but she did. her perpose was only to thank me.
we met only 15 minuites or so but al least
I felt glad to give her nice feeling then.


and also I learned from her to express
thanks to someone cleary.
I knew it but I recognized it again
thanks to the old lady.

hope to see her again.

cooking day

what we made was

1 beef patties
2 pampkin soup
3 vegetable salad
4 avocado dip
5 strenge cake(?)

we tousted some slices of bread and
sanded what we made between them!

convasation with kaori, my cooking partner,
while cooking

"miki, chop onions into pieces!"
"wait wait, I'm peeling them now.
kaori, can you wash the letteuce and tomates before
slice them?"
"sure. and do you know where eggs are?
I want one to mix it with beef"
"eggs are on the top of fridge"
"...oh, I found it. "

we prepared some snacks as well beside main dish.
we supposed to have three people this day
but one of them caught a cold and couldn't come.

at the end of dinner
we ate cake, yeah...rather I can say it is something with cream.
even we didin't know how to eat it properly and
hesitate to try it.
sorry for a mess on the table...just after the party even for two people,
you know?;)




it remind me that I used to cook sweets with my old sister
when I was a child.
we had made most kind of sweets,
doughnuts,cookies, many kind of cheese cakes,
chocolate cakes, jerry, meat pie,
cream puff, pudding, ice cream, candy.......
what else?????

cooking was kind of experiment which I carry out easily.
of course it doesn't show good results always
for example
onece I made a salty pound cake;)
imagine what the taste is!
I put salt instead of suger into mixied ingredients!
I could know something wrong with the cake
because it didin't looks fluffy when I take it out
from the oven!

what the one big differnce between
sweets cooking and usual one is
that you can try the taste during cooking
or not.
the preasure of sweets cooking is to see the
result only at last, besides that of usual cooking
is to add spice or whatever you want
to the pan and adjust the taste to most preferable one.

Monochromatic photo




It looks that I used professional camera.
but in fact I used degital camera, CASIO EXLIM.

sometimes you can take nice photo by chance.

Recently I don't draw pictures.
I'm afraid to lose the skill of drawing
I think I should create time to practice drawing
even if it is enough long.
