24 Hour Yeaaa......

Every year , one TV company organises a 24 hour non stop program at the same time collecting donations forn charities and this year's theme is Saving The World ..and one of their biggest sponsor for this year is Nissan.

Nissan opened up a website asking anyone who has images related to saving the environments to send in their pictures and if selected by them , they will help to donate to charities and so on...

I submitted a few which is just a normal image ( compare to the pros ) but anyway, I was happy that it got selected..and check the website to see and more images from others too.

and to see mine , navigate to the right side of the page and you'll see a 'search ' tab..clicking on that it will lead to another page with 2 tabs - fill it up with these numbers..

What do you think ?

His name is Juseleeno Nobulega Da Roose...

Mr.Juseleeno Da Roose is Brazilian born and said to have special instincts where he can predicts from his dreams.Some of his predictions includes the 9/11 terror , Tsunami in Indonesia and the big earthquakes in China last May.

But for the rest of the year 2008 , he has a few more comings like..super strong earthquakes in China or if doesn't happen in China , it could be in Japan in Tokai area and said to happen in Sept...I'm not that a full believer..but it does makes sense after reading his article here and here and to my Japanese readers , here 's one in japanese language.

To believe or not , is up to our own decision - but me...I'm more curious to see the results later on.

Arrived for review

Said to be the thinnest iPhone cover in the world and also the quality is military standard ( they use it to film the helicopter blades as protective covers ) , I'm out to try....

the box came with another cover - my shield is only for the back of the phone - I've had already got my front screen protector

it comes with all the accessories - all in one box

' over 1 Million sold ' - that's what they said......... read their success story.

I will write the reviews once it is done.Don't have iPhone but still want this covers for your other brand or handphone or laptop ? Click on the invisible shield banner to the right of the page.

Birth Date !

Oopss....after almost 11 years of marriage , never did I realised we never had a 'real' date.So , today , we were off from work , got sometime off , Tomoko suggested why don't we go to the Spain Village.Yeah , why not ?? !! We've lived here almost 9 years , and I remember I went to that place less than 3 times and people around Japan travelled that much to come here , why must I miss this chance ? So, off we went.

For the first time - a date on a birth date !

not many people at the entrance , maybe because we came in late - alas..it's only about 7 mins drive from the house...

lost......as always......

I always see this whenever we passed by , today , I took the chance to try - alone - Tomoko refused saying it's far too exciting and scary for her....

it's quite high and long though....needs good spirit and bravery !!

see...what I mean...almost like flying in a jet fighter or even worse - ( which I knew someone almost fainted when he rode it once ! )

feeling satisfied.......look at that expensive smile.....

Tomoko was only eligible for this one...- for kiddies under 6 !

someone doing a fruit wine Tv commercial !

some funny incident happened - want to know more ?? mail me !

the sunflowers were cute like me too......

watched a musical - very Spanish with all the backdrops and the lovely senoritas but the songs were Japanised....

another senorita in the night parade

and the street performers

and finally , the fireworks to end the night.It was a great day , and I wish I have more time like this once in a while...take my mind off from work a little bit !
