Walking Around Tokyo in Autumn Season

Tokyo, the busy capital city of Japan is well known as ultramodern city. However, traditional and historical places still exist in this city like excellent museums, historical shrines and temples, as well as gorgeous gardens. 

Lately, whenever i have chance to visit Tokyo ... I explore different green spaces of this popular metropolis. 

Here are some of the historical garden i visited this autumn.

   Laugh when you can...✿ 

Apologize when you should...✿ 

Let go of what you can't change...✿ 

Love deeply and forgive quickly...✿ 

Take chances and give your everything...✿ 

Life is too short to be anything but happy...✿ 

You have to take the good with the bad...✿ 

Love what you have...✿ 

Always remember what you had...✿ 

Forgive and forget...✿

...and always remember.. that life goes on...✿ 

😁keep smiling😁

Have a faBOOlous halloween!!!  

Basically, Christians don't celebrate Halloween because  aside from it don't have any direct reference from the bible ... it's a western custom or a day of glorifying evil spirits and promoting darkness and wickedness.  But there are some Christians who also allow their kids to participate in the celebration as long as they are not involve in a darker aspect of the day ... some celebrate it in  godly way or environment like celebrating "Harvest Festival". 

Are you also curious what's the origin of Halloween? 

Here's what i found out ...

I need you more

I Need You More

Kim Walker

 Chorus:

 I need You more, 

more than yesterday 

I need You more 

More than words can say 

I need You more 

Than ever before 

I need You Lord, 

I need You Lord

 Verse:

 More than the air I breathe

 More than the song I sing 

More than the next heartbeat 

More than anything, 

and Lord as time goes by 

I'll be by Your side 

Cause I never want to go back to my old life 

Bridge:

 We give you the highest praise

 We give you the highest praise

 We give you the highest praise 

Ending:

 More than the air I breathe 

More than the song I sing 

More than anything 

I need You more

I belong to You

To You

by Hillsong Music Australia

album: You Are My World (2001)

Here I stand forever in

Your mighty hand

Living with Your promise

Written on my heart

I am Yours

Surrendered wholly to You

You set me in Your family

Calling me Your own

Now I

I belong to You

Lord I need

Your Spirit Your word Your truth

Hear my cry my deep desire

To Know You more

In Your name

I will lift my hands

To the King

This anthem of praise I bring

Heaven knows

I long to love You

With all I am

I belong to You

Mission accomplished!

This hotel's coffee shop is nostalgic for me.
I used to hang up at this place with my friends after my work and radio recording
more than 10 years ago.
What a good feelin to recall back the good old days xx  

Another blessed day ... thanks Abba Father :)

Happy tummy :)

Moon's halo???

今夜のお月様の周りに不思議な大きな輪が見えました。雲かな？虹？それか、地震に関係あるかな？

調べたら、月暈（つきがさ、げつうん）という。

虹のようにも見えることから白虹（はっこう、しろにじ）ともいう。

何の現像でしょうか？

Happy Friday!

Relax ...

Chill out ... 

and unwind!

Late night cycling

Helloooo darkness !!! 

Lately,  instead of walking ... i am enjoying to ride on my little red bike ... 

i usually run for about 2 hours around city parks late at night.  

It's summer season and cycling at night is cooler than in day time.  

Besides... lately,  it's not scary or creepy to go on cycling at night  ... 

every night... all parks around the city are full of people playing Pokemon-Go!!!  

I hope Pokemon Go's popularity will still last longer ... 

so i can enjoy my cycling even late at night.
