How should I name my own shop?

-
I was watching a movie called "Duplex" the other day. (It's a good comedy, btw.) The couple in that movie bought a house and the moving company they used is called "Murray's Movers". That got me thinking. You know how some businesses are named after their owners? Like "Charlie's Cheeseburgers", "Sam's Sandwiches", "Pan's Pizza" or "Harry's Hardware" (oops.. the last one sounded not quite right.. @_@)

Anywho, in that vein, let's see what kind of business options are available for me.

Kyay's Kebabs?
Kyay's Kites? (I could have made a fortune with this one had I started it between 1860-1910 aka "the golden age of kiting". Oh yeah. I did extensive research to get that info. In other words, I looked it up in wikipedia.)
Kyay's Kaleidoscopes? (I know. It's weird.)
Kyay's Keyrings? (Seriously, self? You couldn't come up with a better one?)

Or I could start an assassin's guild and name it "Kyay's Killers".. Hmm.. That actually sounds pretty badass.. :D

Okay. Enough with this silly post. See you later. :)

Day out at Lake Shidaka

What's the one thing the Japanese love to do when spring comes? The answer is "hanami" or "flower viewing". Crowds of people flock to parks or other famous sightseeing places to enjoy the colorful flowers in full bloom. But it's the sakura that steals the show. This is my first "hanami". We didn't have that kind of thing back at home. So, I didn't really get what all this hype was about watching those flower blossoms. I mean, how beautiful can they be? As it turned out, very beautiful indeed. Breathtakingly so. I love spring in Japan. It's a very nice change from the cold drab winter days. The sakura blossoms don't last long. So before they all fall to the ground, I had to go see them. (And upload photos on facebook and instagram. :D) So, last weekend, I went to a place called Lake Shidaka. It's a camping site. When the lake came into view, it was like I had stepped straight into a postcard. It was that beautiful. Now,

What goodbyes are made of (Part 3)

            One time, I went to a zoo all alone.             It was in Tokyo.             I remember the date: 14 th of February.             The zoo was huge and it was like being lost at sea. There were endless waves of happy people, with matching smiles and love-struck eyes. I understood what being a boat without an anchor must be like. Floating yet drifting away. But it was kind of nice to explore the zoo by myself. I felt more connected to the animals.        Anyway, so, there I was, walking around the zoo and gawking at the animals. Suddenly, I locked eyes with this crane alone in his cage. He was staring at me skeptically. “Hey you! What cha looking at?” he seemed to say. He looked like one of those punk-rockers, the plumage on his head sticking out in all directions. The body was white but the lower part just above his legs and the tip of his tail were as black as the night sky. He was pretty badass. He narrowed his eyes and we had a silent staring contest for several

I’m so eager to see you again, but I wouldn’t ask to see you. Not because I’m proud. In fact, in front of you, I cede all my pride. Yet only if you asked to see me, our meeting would be meaningful to me. — Simone de Beauvoir, Lettres à Nelson Algren 1950
