3 month old nephew, Tomoaki

Last weekend, my 1 year younger brother and his wife visited us to show their 3 months old newborn baby, Tomoaki. They stayed here for 2 days (1 night). Tomoaki met his two cousins at first time. Yes, it was my first one too. Of course, he didn't care much about us except his parents, but we cared him so much. He was cute, and some of us think he looks like his cousin (younger one), Taisei. His dad is smartest in my family, and his mum is smarter than his dad. So, he may be already so smart. It makes me sure that he not only looks around when he is awake, but also realises how to make noise.

As I said, he is very cute. However, to me Taisei is cuter than him because he is much more like a baby. I am not sure how smart Taisei is, but hopefully he will be (but not as smart as Tomoaki).

Shares

I am going to see the lady at the Nomura securities firms in Osaka to discuss about my future plan for funds (actually she is younger than me, also kind and cute).

I am making some different types of portfolio, and I will decide how I am going to buy to increase amount of my money. Yes, it may not be a good time to buy these things because of current instable economy. However, it maybe a good chance to buy to gain a lot.

In my portfolio, there was one section for Japanese market, and I already bought one ETFs (it may be only one for this section). This ETF associates with shares of Japanese core 30 companies. The ticker for this is
1311:jp. That value has gone good at the moment, and hopefully goes much much better in the future.
