Yesterday I got some surprise gifts. Bouquet from @nekomimitaicho and cake from @cognitom @tah_timing @crossnode for my wedding (I got married on Monday!).

I walked around Shimokitazawa after leaving @osscafe, to take some photos to submit with an article I’m writing for another blog.

9 years ago on this first day on November in 2003, I switched over my blog to WordPress. Blogs – my own and others – still bring surprises and joy to my life and I’m happy that I can blog about it.

Coffee break at @osscafe, with a treat brought back by Yayoi-san.

It’s overwhelming how much change people around you can bring to your life. I am grateful that I feel this way because of WordPress, open source community and @osscafe.
