My own OBENTO^^

It's been a decade since the last time i made obento or lunch  box for myself. 
It so happened that i have work the whole day today in different places and i have no time to buy my lunch so i decided to bring my own obento.  

Yaaay ... the last time i remember making obento was when Sachan was in senior high school ...   
that means it's way back about 10 years ago.   


What a wonderful world!


I found some photos of my visit to other countries ... 
i tried to compile them in one vid but unfortunately Photo Grid only allowed 50 photos in a vid ...
I just used my smart phone on making this simple vid ... 

amazing smart phone ... they can do anything :P 
If i have more chance and time ... i would like to make a better vid thru movie maker appli.   

Oh well ... the adventures featured in this vid was really nostalgic ... priceless!



Thank you Lord for the unmerrited favors ... 
thank you for all the dreams, joy and memories xx
