Pediatrician In Markham

WHERE TO START ...... WELCOME

First of all I wanted to tell you about how I met him run away. I was online for some tips on how to make a birthday card for a dear friend who had a baby and so turning round and round for the sites I came across pictures of greeting cards that were cropped and reliefs on paper that seemed perfect for all types of paper combined, so going down, I came across in both machines known as the Big Shot or Cuttlebug and I was fascinated by punching (die cut) and surveys on paper (embossing folder).
So my adventure began and I started to look for a Cuttlebug on every website imaginable can be either from here to America and comparing each accessory color and of course the price and shipping charges like a mad woman in the throes of a fit . Eventually I came from a German website which I did not understand almost nothing and continued to translate every word of every e-mail that arrives in order to understand what I ordered. Things like crazy! !
Same thing happened to stamps, Copic, of which I was fascinated by the different tutorial on you tube inserted, the buffers are not used only to color but also used to create cards and backgrounds to our work simply by starting from scratch, and how not to be in love with Magnolia stamps. .... that make each project a unique idea!

Maternity Pants Extender

The advent ... in Tokyo!

As you know I moved to Japan recently and I am working so that 'to get used to life in the culture and habits of the Japanese. Just this year I looked down the Christmas tree, not 'cause I do not like, indeed, I have always loved to set it up with my brothers, but this year, either to my intention not to overdo it with the events of 'Italian' " in my new home, either to the lack of people who share a passion for the tree (my husband did not never appreciated ... soon you will also understand why '..) the Christmas tree is not' even been purchased.

Wanting to follow the strong traditions nipponiche immediately complicit my new little friends Kazu and Yukina, I started to study the techniques of preparation of the infamous 年 贺 状 (nengajou). What 'the nengajou ? You can not even hope to live in this country without knowing it, since 'the custom is common to all those who are part of the company' (see my previous posts, the 社会 人 (shakaijin , those who are part of the company 'Japanese workers and that as such they have rights but also duties! One of these 'preparation nengajou ).

The nengajou and' the New Year greeting card, ranging from simple white card with two sentences to wish a happy new year until you get to real works of art, with collage of 和 纸 (washi , Japanese rice paper) and flakes of gold, with delicate 俳 句 (haiku , short Japanese poetry) masterfully designed and carefully signed with your 印鉴 (inkan , personal stamp that serves as a formal signature, used by all opportunities in the Japanese bureaucracy). Well .. I've always left literally eyes on these wonders of Japan's culture ... and I could not help but to prepare for my time, trying to give it a touch of my personality '.

Firstly, I am going to inspire me in the temple of nengajou : ITOYA shop in Ginza, 8 floors of office for me heaven. Please give a 'look at the site to realize the wonders that can be purchased here: http://www.ito-ya.co.jp

After you appreciate the work on display by Itoya I bought some beautiful color labels and a variety of sparkling, the Japanese paper with good luck to those old characters, then a pair of stamps with characters, the inevitable 筆 ペン (fudepen , which mimics the pen writing Fude of the brush to the exercise of Japanese calligraphy) and a lot of paper Japanese.

In Japan follows the Chinese calendar fetus, for which every year and 'characterized by an animal, with cycles of twelve years each year and and' the turn of RABBIT, why nengajou of 2011 will see the protagonist sympathetic and prolific pet! I preferred to avoid buying stamps with the rabbits because they 'already' next year I will not 'more' used because (it can 'only do so in 12 years! And because the stamps are quite expensive .. well ... never mind the eto!).

After returning from my purchases, I started work and this' scenario when I take this inspiration





A beautiful chaos, there '... and what about all this in my pussy I "helped" by playing with the precious paper washi torn all! Thank goodness then put it in unless ...

People who wish a happy 2011 were numerous this year ... so I've really done on this night kotatsu (Japanese low table with built-in stove)! Thank goodness and that 'I have suffered cold and not heated (see previous post) ...

And here is the result of my labors, not yet lived up to my expectations but I promise that next year the lighthouse 'better, especially' cause I'm going to attend a Shuji (calligraphy Traditional):












Then the cards were shipped in the coming days and reaches its destination in Italy .. just do it (who knows' when ..) in Japan regularly Jan. 1, because when you go to the post office enough to indicate that it is neng and the cards will be carefully delivered from the new year (Woe to receive neng the 31 ... 'cause there in Japanese' formula of "Happy New Year" is valid until December 31 and one that can 'only be used by January 1 ... so ... eye!)

Returning to our Christmas tree, here in Japan it does not and 'other than the symbol of Christmas, Western, and even of X'mas (Christmas American with lots of turkey and X'mas cake!)' cause this Christmas' synonymous with buying for whom and 'sufficiently trendy (and has a lot of money to spend on a turkey modest sum of 70 Euro!) to afford to make the' "ammerigano ... not know what I mean.

usually Young people like to celebrate Christmas in good company. Here in Japan the day before seems our February 14 hotels overbooked , trendy restaurants booked for months, sales of diamonds like bread ... 'cause Christmas is the better half', you can dine by candlelight and after dinner '... crackling like fireworks! So imagine what sense can get my Italian in all of this tree ...

Yes', of course, HO-HO! There 's the good Santa Claus (here they call Santa-san) who brings gifts to children, but it' s a tradition of American accent that only children whose parents are really trendy ... just follow those "cool" expect お正月 (O-shougatsu , the Japanese New Year) when the whole family will eat おせ ち 料理 O-Sechi Ryouri (small traditional delicacies served in bite into beautiful red and black lacquer boxes (I promise lots of photos when I come back 'from Osaka, a city' s hometown of my husband, where his father, a professional chef, will prepare us' O-Sechi with her expert hands!).

During the slow tasting of 'O-Sechi Ryouri watching traditional TV-New Year where two groups of famous people (women and characterized by the red men who are white instead) vie for the prize to the sound of karaoke! At the stroke of midnight toast and more happily 'daring to go to お参り, O-Mairi (the first visit to the Shinto shrine of the year) ... but often let the feast and the cold makes the guests of mere invertebrates unable to get out of this .... kotatsu

This' as broadly as promised ... but I will tell you 'the Japanese New Year when I have' collected visual evidence to share with you! !

So, friends, that yours is a sweet Christmas ... and 'everything from the rising sun!

What's The Cheapest Pda On The Market

Akiba, days of peace and tranquility '

waiting for a rainy day to update the blog, almost a challenge because we had ten consecutive days of good weather and mild. Akiba, this mysterious word in Japanese is a signficare "peaceful autumn" and it 'really one of my favorite weather: clear skies, tall, deep blue color, dry air and everywhere you can still beat the sun and warm as a final gift of the season before winter hibernation. We have had days so 'and stay in home I did not really want! The work is not 'started yet so I'm enjoying the last days of total relaxation.

Here in Tokyo there are many parks, although it seems a city 'full cementified (er, you,' and the '... .. but the green is looking for) and it' became the My mission in these days, got on the bike, canon shoulder I've spent entire days riding towards a goal, stopping occasionally to take a look at the map, to buy a onigiri (hunger strikes suddenly! cit., the balls are onigiri / rice triangles of various sizes with various fillings ranging from fish to vegetables, often covered seaweed sheets are a great snack to take away ... in short, are the "sandwich" that the Japanese are leading in the office or picnic!) or give me a ride in a vintage shop (my other great passion, together at flea markets here in Tokyo by storm!).





I must say that my mood and 'changed a lot from a couple of weeks ago ... the fear of not more able to 'speak in Japanese and' past (my first job interview I finally unlocked) and also the eagerness to find employment has given way the serenity 'of life annuity (the job is going to come sooner or later' .. that I hurry to cram into the train in the morning along with stressatissimi Japanese?) so ... I enjoy my day of relaxation, reading a book or magazine , listening to music, preparing a hot chocolate, chatting with my friends, experiencing the operation of the new ultra-tech oven just purchased.





December will probably 'the month in which it will' work, so ... I prepare myself psychologically to give up all this calm all they sleep (I suck! Not even a 15 year old would sleep much!) to finally immerse myself in the spirit of the company 'of Japan, in fact I'll soon be' too a Shakai-JIN (trans. belonging to the life of society 'in Japan, which is based at work and its rules).

Chapstick Favors In Canada

no longer hesitate' between seasons ... even in Tokyo!




I write from Takenotsuka, Adachi district, the north-east of Tokyo. It 's a cold and humid night and my legs are crossed under the kotatsu (Japanese style low table, and which 'built an electric heater that prevents heat dissipation through a quilt placed under the base of the table, vd. Image). Every time I move my legs 'cause I informicolano .... you are not yet used to it and my joints are still very inelastic ... I hope to become more' springy in the coming months. I arrived in Tokyo for the past three weeks and I can start to breathe a sigh of relief as the great difficulty of finding a home and furnish it and at least essentially 'finished. I'm just back from days long and exhausting, to be drawn into endless van rental (manual transmission left !!!!) in the Japanese metropolis with traffic moving in the boot lunch and a flight-onigiri-and-forth, to other stages, buy mirror / dresser / couch, upload it in the car, went from Off Hard (chain of second hand stores) and svaligialo of everything 'and that 'suitable and useful for our little white house.

Our house is 'apartment on the eighth floor of a palace built three years ago and its strong and' the white wood flooring gives the room a special light over the beautiful terrace 30 m2 overlooking the skyline of the city '. Some say that during the clear winter days from the Southwest side, see also Fuji-san, but I could still see for myself. Of course up here 'pulls an incredible wind. On this night of rain and cold I could not help but fearful wrapped under the duvet (Italian, Hillebrand thanks!) Hoping that the wind does not knock out 'the building but it' s too early to say it escaped: Typhoon No 14 and 'expected in Tokyo October 31, Halloween is a really amazing year, there's no' what to say!

In terms of my mood, well, 'early to say that I set. This time 'more' than any other hard, hardly believe it. I am Italian in the bone and beyond, everything 'that was well established 5 years ago and now the 'more' and I find myself more 'designed to bend the head to the side with a questioning expression (at least some expressions began to take!) nth program hyper-crazy Japanese TV or noting that no one dares to look into the eyes a stranger, my goodness, and 'so' inhuman at times this country! At times I really need ... warmth and e 'in these moments that your PC makes the tantrums and decides to retire, you 'just so', while they are alone and abandoned even by K who goes to work in the morning our damn computer does not work anymore '. Really, really desolation. Pessimism and annoyance. Thank goodness a package arrived from Italy with a delay due to customs inspections (eccheccazz) containing a CD that will allow 'the formatting of the almost dead laptop has upset the evil plans of the Great Heavenly Demon. Maybe tomorrow will regain 'my PC ... or your wallet and buy you a new one, but we hope it is not necessary, God only knows when I'll find' a job and I'd rather save my money and keep under the mattress, unsisammai .....

I post a lot 'of the photino new cottage, but a foul laziness stops me, and think that this weekend I wanted to carry around a Canon for parks and gardens in search of the beloved kouyou (The autumn ritual of contemplating the nuances of the leaves of trees, particularly the Japanese maple and gingko biloba, which change color from yellow to deep red) but since the passing typhoon No. 14 will be 'better to sit here at calduccino kotatsu , reading a book, sipping a hot chocolate (thanks again Hillebrand!).

DaTokyo 's all for now, there' s much more to say ... but everything with patience. I'll have to 'have a lot in the coming months. ZEN lot of patience. Oooohm.
