welcome to nagoya university! :)

taken from my veranda. woke up one early february morning and the trees looked like this. thought i saw gandalf and company passing through. :)

unang beses kong makahawak ng yelo na hindi galing sa freezer, kaya dapat documented. :)

My best friend in the laboratory. Doesn't nag me when I come late, which is always. No complaints when I do so much research-related work... err, nothing much to complain about anyway. :)

Addicting. Priced reasonably too, at 180 yen each. Some of my friends like the one in the middle, but I personally prefer the one on the left. So they made a combination of both - the one on the right. Compromise. :)

Restaurant in Tsukuba. Chahan and gyoza. Yummy. Burp! :)

My version of the plum blossom close-up (see sendai and leica's pics :)). Macro function experiment. Turned out quite ok, no? :)

That's me and Jane doing the standard Japanese pose. :)

Synchronized swimming

Some of the fish here are bigger than the ducks. Good thing carps aren't carnivores. Lucky birds.
