@がっちゃん Nice! You had some likes since you were a little boy! How cute. By the way, my blood type is “O Positive” O can give blood to anyone however O can get from only O. I do not trust blood type stories ~ You know…in USA, most of the people don’t believe about the stories, even they do not know what blood type until they need to know. Interesting I will talk to you soon.
@まごめのにゃん Thank you for your nice comment. Soooon~ it will be big snow ❄️ in New York City. It’s beautiful with snow. Today we can watch in Net! Great Let’s have a nice day together! With smiles
@がっちゃん I understand that. I have given my blood 🩸 for help. Maybe in the later. I like to give something to people… I have done “Homeless project” for 6.5years when I was living In Honolulu, Hawaii..,it’s a long story… l will talk to you later. It’s Monday! Nice day! Tomorrow is coming. With smile. Nice to talk to you
@がっちゃん It was…2010 The first week of January. I usually look down Kalakaua Avenue from my condominium(27th floor). I saw lots of homeless people on the street, beside the bus station, sleeping under the trees… At that time, I have retired and was boring everyday. I wanted to do something by myself. It was Homeless project. “Give some food for them” This was the staring time. Long long stories…I will write from now. Today’s one/Rice project #1 Tomorrow #2~#3~ Nice evening! I will talk to you later 8:00am swimming today! With smile
@がっちゃん Thank you for your great comment. Lovely “Rice Project #2” 2010 January The first day. I made 10 rice balls/furikake. I was not sure whether they like it or not…I put them in my shoulder bag and left. There is “Alawai-river”Which is close from my condominium. ?? My feelings? #1guy he was sleeping on the public bench with a blanket. For the first time, I talked to him “ Are you hungry?” My heart was beating”Dokkin” The black guy showed and said”Oh yea We are always hungry”. I handed one rice ball to him. My hands were shaking.(Kowai na~) 🐶He said “Thank you” I was happy to hear his low voice with his smile(no teeth). I felt “I can go ~” The first impression makes us go for on~. 🍀
@がっちゃん *Rice Project #3 Ten rice 🍙 balls in my shoulder bag There three guys were sitting on the bench and talking. “Are you hungry?” One guy said “Always” I hand 🍙 to them. As soon as they got it they ate in a minute, I looked them back and felt, “I will go for this!” Walking for a minute, one guy like a Ringo Starr(the Beatles)was napping on the flat stone with a pillow made of several 📚 books. I talked to him “Are you hungry?” He woke up and said “ Yes. Thank you,miss” and gave a nice smile. I thought “A gentleman is here”. Five 🍙 have gone…after this, I felt good and happy. Within several minutes I finished all. From my condominium, it takes 5 minutes to get the Arawai River Side/beside Convention Center. It took 10 minutes ~ my first day was over. I thought “I will make 20 🍙next time” I still don’t forget my feeling on this day
I had my route(koutei). Arawai River Side ~ Alamoana Park(till Tennis Court) It took about 90 minutes. I will write lots of episodes from now. I hope you will enjoy! Have a nice weekend! With 😊 smile
@がっちゃん *Rice Project #4 I made only 10 🍙. Walked for only 10 minutes. Next..20. I added sausage together. My shoulder bag became heavier. My route…going. It was hot and humid day. When I handed 🍙, she asked me,”Do you have water?”…I answered to her,”Next time I will have it “ I reached Alamoana Park. At the entrance, the Ringo Starr was surrounded by several young boys. He was talking nicely to them with smile. They were enjoying with his talking. I talked to them,” Are you hungry?” R.S said “Miss. Thank you for your asking, these are not homeless. No need. Give food to another people “ Gentle sounds! He looks like a big brother for them. I saw their smiles. I walked for a ~10 minutes ~ 20🍙have gone easily. I thought “ok next I wii go for 30🍙with Ice water”.
@がっちゃん I made 30 🍙 and a jar of Ice-water. I put them in my two wheel transport(size small). Easy to carry Starting place/Alawai river side…some people came and I saw more there. It used be ~10, now 15~. In 10 minutes. I walked to the Alamoana Park…only 15~. In a several minutes, they have gone. They liked ice water. One guy asked me “ Thanks your 🍙 is good one. What is your name?” I answered “My name is RICE”. Since that time, all homeless people called me “Rice”! It was my name. I do not talk at all to them only”Are you hungry?/give food. Take care!” hundreds hundreds times for them. They are nice people. Nice smile, gentle. I felt “ok, more food with eggs and meat”. They need.
A small episode will be continued ~ Everyday is a good day! With 😊 smile
@がっちゃん I will still continue to write “Rice Project “ every week. Anyway I did it for 6.5 year(2010/January ~ 2016/June). Once ~ two times a week. I hope you enjoy my episodes…from now~. Nice Sunday?! See U
@がっちゃん “Rice project #6” I made 30 🍙…I them in my transport…they crash and became flat. Now I got hundreds of small plastic ones. I put egg,sausage on the rice. They liked that. With ice water. “Omusubi” finished. “Bento” started. Transport bag became Medium size. In order to make 30 bentos…10cups of rice for cooking. One boy came up to me by 🚴bicycle. I gave a bento to him. And after that one boy was walking and asked for a food. Of course I gave bento…and I thought…”He was riding a bicycle wearing a red cap, but…he is wearing a blue 🧢!” With smile… He could get two bentos from me! Smart boy! Cute He was absolutely hungry. I have a rule to tell them,” one person with one meal, no show no food” They can’t say~ for their somebody. I was strong, and gentle. They started asking me “Coffee & Tea” I decided to make for them. Now~bag is too small to put them all. 30 bentos are nothing, already. They are waiting for my coming(Wednesday) Yes. * I have never missed Wednesday for 6.5years. I start making bentos 40.
@がっちゃん Thank you for your comment. A little by little…project was becoming bigger and bigger. Anyway only me~ I used my two hands and my body as much I could ~ lots of episodes…I am going to tell you. Laugh and tears… When I am swimming, I think of a episode, listening to the music 🎶,too So far, my winter schedule in the morning has been set. I feel comfortable because it’s simple. It’s the time to start for today! Have a nice sleep and good morning! With 😊
@がっちゃん “Rice project #7” I made 40 bentos. I put rice in a plastic(6cmx6cm). It was a good idea. No crash each other. However after their finish eating, it became a trash and bothered at the park. I put a plastic wrap in a cup. When I handed it,I took the wrapped food and put a cup back. It was a good system.(I bought too many. I have still lots today) Rice,egg and sausage. Water, iced coffee and ice-tea. Transport bag became Large size. There is still some room in a bag. I got cookies and chocolates. One & one for one person. One man sitting in the wheelchair. Lots of plastic bags hanging on the wheelchair handles. I saw his one knee looked very bad. Like a injured in the war…(you can guess) When I handed food, drinks and snack, I told him, “ I will take care of your knee. See you tomorrow here at this time.” He was there on the next day. I prepared antibiotic cream and bandages. He showed me his big smile. From that time, I saw him all the time. His knee was gradually cured. I had them all the time. They needed. One woman talked to me”Rice, do you have soap, shampoo?” “ OK. Next time “. I answered…they do not have anything…I prepared toothbrushes soaps & shampoos a lot. In order to give 40 bentos and some another~ it did not take so long. Started Arawai Riverside ~ Alamoana Park~ 300m or so~ all the things have gone. Some people came to me by bicycle like a smart bird. They gradually know about me(Rice). They were friendly with a smile. One hard thing: transport bag, when I walk, it’s ok however when I hand food & another, I had to open the bag each time and it was difficult to handle.~for a long time I used a large bag. I wander…”How can I do and go~?” One day I saw the guy was carrying a wagon and crossing the street. “ That’s it!! Hit the spot!!” I went to the department store and bought a wagon(1mx50cmx50cm) Big 😀 smile this wagon worked till I finish my project(June 2016)
It was 6.5 year project. The last 2 years were the most successful. They liked a bento. I cooked lots of food. Curry, chicken and vegetable soup, fried rice(yakimeshi), fried noodles(yakisoba),,,etc. 75 people~ enjoyed my foods
Now I finished set the stage. From now some episodes will come up.
@がっちゃん I know…right now I’ve got information from my friends in Oahu/Waikiki. State built big shelters for homeless people…however it’s almost empty. How come?! They have their way to survive by themselves…I guess. They do not like to be tied up by rules. The sun ☀️ comes up~the sun sets 🌅
@がっちゃん Exactly! You got it! They do not like ~ rule,what time,how to do~ that’s why they are “homeless”, I can say. I learned lots of things from them. Good ones or not ones. Only one thing I can tell anybody, “ homeless people, most(95%)of them are nice and friendly. I liked them. I will talk to you tomorrow. With smile
“Rice project #8” After I started using a wagon, my trip was so comfortable that lots of people enjoyed. I pulled a lovely wagon with my the most energy. One New Year day(only once), I had a case(24 cans) of “Asahi Super-dry/Beer”. I put all of them in a refrigerator on the day before. “Sure…only one time! I will make them happy New Year” I used a big jar 🫙. I usually have lots of plastic cups for iced tea and coffee. When I saw them “Are you hungry and thirsty? A Happy New Year!” They looked at me~” ?? Rice is this…Apple juice?? But bubbling(awa)…” They tasted and showed their big smile(most of them have no teeth). They said “Rice it’s the best New Year now, thank you”. 40~people had a good time. They called it “Bubble apple juice” They often asked me about bubble apple juice, I answered “Only once!” Beside bubble apple juice, I cooked chicken curry 🍛. New system started. Instead of bento, I prepared paper plates. I confirmed “After eating, put it in the garbage 🗑️, please” I was happy they listened to me. Smile They likes curry rice. Some people asked me soy sauce. I started using a spray bottle for soy sauce. Just spray on the food, if they need. It’s easy and convenient. They were my friends. When I walk around my condominium, most of the people said hello 👋 to me, they were homeless people! with smile
@がっちゃん “Rice project #9” I saw one guy who looks like Ringo Starr(The Beatles) all the time. He was surrounded by young boys and talking to them nicely with a good smile. He takes a nap with some books as his comfortable pillow. I made his bento all the time. He likes hot coffee, fruits, sweets and my bento. One day I saw him, I knew he was sick. I wish I could give him medicines, however it was not appropriate for them. After that I did not see him for a couple of weeks. I asked to the young boys whom I have ever seen them with him. They said “ Well…He is in jail.” I just was thinking…”He became sick and he is in jail”. I couldn’t know the concept why~? Almost one month later, I saw him at the same place. He looked fine. When I handed a bento and another things, I said to him”I have not seen you for 1.5 months or so”. He said “Miss, I was in jail after you saw me. You know~I will let you know, but don’t tell my story to anyone.” He started his story. “I was very sick. I went to the small convenient store. Workers can see us all the time. On purposely, I picked some medicines for my body and put them into my pockets in front of the workers. I had no money. They were watching me. They called a policeman 👮♂️. Of course I was arrested as shoplifting(manbiki). I was happy. I was taken to jail. 3 food, bed and a blanket, shower, and medical care in jail. I had a nice time to spend my time. Finally I became healthy and I was told to leave jail…I wanted to stay there more but…And I am now here to see you miss again”… After I heard his story I said “Anyway, welcome back! Keep being healthy!” He said”Yes. By the way miss, my trip to jail, this time was #13.(choeki 13)” He showed me a little bit shy face with small smile. I just left quietly. *Life is a survival game Strong will to live
@がっちゃん I feel happy to hear about that. Well~ I have read news from Hawaii states. The have a nice shelter to let them stay, and new system for the homeless people. I will still keep watching the topic. I have just got into their world, temporarily(6.5 years). I still see very few homeless people here,however I have no will to go for to them again. “Take care”! I hope! Nice to talking to you today! I will catch up comments soon. I hope you are ok! Today Isoganai. Okoranai. Now I got these messages by internet. I will see U soon ~. with smile
