1. Shift I have had a great encounter with Shift because working for it is not just a job; it has been like a school for me. I meet lots of creative people through it and learn from them. 2. Capoeira I had been interested in Capoeira before, but I finally started taking lessons. Exercise makes both my brain and body stretched and fit. Feels good. Jinga, jinga, jinga... 3. A reunion with Q.R.S. I reunited with my collaborator Quentin R. Sprague. His spirituality and intelligence got deeper and deeper. Quentin shows me how to stay "real". 4. The best couple (=Mom & Dad) Having happy parents is the most beautiful thing. I can smile and live happily everyday because I learn love and respect from them. 5. Soy Dandies For the first time I had soy dandies in Melbourne. It is a familiar drink among hippies so that they call it "S.D." It is hard to find it here in Vancouver, so I enjoy the dandelion roots I carried back little by little**
