Since he found our weblog, he checks it almost (I hope) everyday.
When I saw him in the morning, he asked me "What's your weblog today?”

Have you arrived at your home safely?
All of Sakura staff are missing your big smile and jokes☆

I guess you are missing talking with Naoto about fighting;)
I'm waiting for your comment.

Normally, I'm working from the early morning.
Though I have breakfast before leaving my home,
I always get hungry before lunch time:(

So, I drink Milo with milk♪
It's much healthier than snacks and I can get Calcium
(and something good for me) from it★

I can't wait for lunch time...

Have you seen these guys before?
They work for our sister company, Sakura House, which runs monthly guesthouses all over Tokyo.
They belong to its maintenance team and travel from a house to another
by wagon everyday to brush up the quality of the houses, fix something broken,
supply household goods, etc.

You might have seen the guy on the left (Satoshi) somewhere on this blog
because he used to work for our hostel.
They dropped by the hostel the other day and I took their pic.

Satoshi and Mocchie, the guys we can turn to whenever we have a problem :)
Drop by here anytime and have a coffee break☆
Pretty girls (?) will make you feel relaxed ;)

Look at these beautiful flowers. They are cherry blossoms, the soul of Japanese. I feel happy to be Japanese every spring when I see the flowers all over the city. My mom says that she is counting how many more times she can see cherry blossoms in the rest of her life. (Well, she is not that old, though...)

Cherry blossoms are at the peak now in Tokyo. This weekend is the best timing to have cherry blossom viewing parties (hanami party).

Heeeeey! Who decided to do our hanami party NEXT weekend?? Yuri, was it you??

Finally, our Sakura (both Satsuki&May) bloomed♪

By the way, "Sakura Saku" has two meanings.
One is just "cherry has bloomed".
The other is " to pass the exam".

Our new school year will be began from April, so if you pass the entrance exam,
you can start your new year with cherry blossoms:)

In April, we have many guests from Thailand.
It's one of my favorite countries, so I'm very happy to meet them:)
I have best friend in Bangkok who I met in San Diego, USA five years ago
and we are still keep in touch with.

I visited her two years ago but I haven't seen her since then.
If you are coming from Thailand, could you please bring her with you??

They are from Bangkok and gave many souveniors to us!

Especially, banana chips are yummy!

We have two cherry trees next to the car parking.
Tsuyoshi found some of breaking buds this afternoon♪

It's been very warm these days, so they will come into bloom soon★

Tsuyoshi and I named them "Satsuki and May".　
Sounds familier?
If you touch them, you may get a good luck ;)

Please say hello to Satsuki and May when you arrive!

They are also waiting for your coming.

Are you a dog person or a cat person?
Koji (night shift person) is very the cat person and every morning when I come here,
I find new screen saver on our desk top.

I would say I'm a dog person because I have allergic to cats...
Most of staff here, especially cleaning staff, are cat persons.
As you know, I'm much more an elephant person, though;p
