Philippines
A young Filipino friend said the Philippines is more convenient than Japan. He said this because you can get a tricycle anywhere, anytime, and move around the city, so you don't have to wait for the subway or walk between trains. The more I ride in tricycles, the more I think he's right, and I can't help but smile. You can get anywhere and move around the city for 100 yen, but they've banned them in Manila because of the air pollution. When I'm on my way to a business appointment, it's also helpful that they can weave their way through the traffic, even when there's congestion. Today's temperature in Dagupan(fisher town 200KM north of Manila) is 32 degrees. The vibration of the engine resonates throughout my body like a vibrator.

Roeses
It was the beginning of a new year, and I was getting ready to finally start working. Last year, I had cut off a dying branch of a rose in my garden to prepare it for winter and was hanging the buds on it in my study to make dried flowers. Today, I looked up and noticed that the bud had swelled up and was even pointing upward toward the sun shining through the sunroof.
I hurriedly put it in a vase of water and wished it good luck. The main portion of roses are now quietly waiting for spring in the snow. And I was moved by the vitality of these pruned portion that were about to be thrown away. In English, it is resilience. It is a power given to all of nature. People should be no exception. I believe that the power of love is the heart that encourages such resilience. I have come home to the importance of such small action of preparing vase.
Let’s get start to work!!

The Ideology of Democratism
The Ideology of Democratism, dismissing "populism" as anti-democratic is highly problematic. In effect, such arguments essentially reject the actual popular will in favor of a purely theoretical and abstract "will of the people."
