Pigeon's Poop

As I announced this blog becoming irregular post last time, I firstly would like to thank you for coming back, or finding my blog by accident, or any circumstances you are reading this now doesn't matter-I thank you. Now Olympics is over but it is always inspiring to watch world class top athletes. I personally am a fan of figure skating, to watch, I may just add. The world of stoicism attracts me and I think any sports has something really similar to the Japanese Samurai spirit "Bushido."

Making something special for a client, or their special person gives me a kind of joy that I never knew. It could be challenging but luckily I never failed to make my clients happy. There is some big news coming up for Pigeon Dynamite and I cannot wait to share with you all! Official Pigeon Dynamite Blog is going to...

February is usually one of the coldest months in Japan. My January and February's school absence almost got me a nickname of any hibernate animal. But the good thing about February is that it doesn't stay with us too long. And there is... Valentine's Day! my favorite donuts shop's window last year..love is like donuts.. It's not just for lovers and couples, but it should be celebrated with happiness and love. In Japan, it's quite opposite the way how people participate this event. Girls get present, or traditionally make sweets such as chocolate for their love interest. Some companies even kind of expect the female workers to bring chocolate for male workers and their boss. However, it's plain manner rather than intimate expectation..well, some might, but in general.    It's pretty much controlled by the media just like any, since they normally start selling expensive special chocolate as early as a month before for Valentine's Day i...
