After 49 days

One of my close relative had passed away 49 days before the last Sunday.
They say, for the 49 days, the soul of the person, who passed away, get the trials from the Great King Yama once for every 7 days for 7 times (that's 49 days) to see if the soul can go to the Buddhism paradise or to the other one.

 

This image on above is from the Dragon Ball animation.
Goku, the one with the black hair who has the ring on his head, came to the trial of the Great King Yama, the one on the desk with the book, with the god of the Earth, the green guy on the bottom left, after Goku's death in the animation.
 
In Buddhism (or most part of Japan,) for the 49 days after your family and/or relatives (depends on how close you are to the person though) passed away, you cannot go to festivals, party, travel nor visit Shinto shrines.
　
So, the 49 days is over now.  I feel like



Even after 49 days, I am still in "mo-chu" term.
That means I cannot send the greeting card for the new year saying "Happy New Year" kinda things for this coming year of 2016 nor celebrate it.  Well.  That's Japan, you know.

I got banned from facebook AGAIN for a week.

Facebook banned me of posting and sharing on timeline, sending messages, and like button for any post for a week.  Right now, what I can do on facebook is only to login. 　  　  　　 　 I asked what I did wrong to get banned to the help desk, but they have not replied me anything yet.  　 What I did right before I had got banned was re-activating one of my pages about discussing the differences between the facts and the fake news on fake medias.   　  　 Well, these are my new pages:    Please give your "like" on my pages.  You will be receiving tons of update (since those pages are updated by bots) from the pages, but you can hide them too.

Blogs and AdSense (2)

Blogs and AdSense http://itoshunsuke.blogspot.jp/2015/07/blogs-and-adsense.html     When I see my Adsense page today, I see some numbers!! *Yay* Last time I open this page after years about 10 days ago, I found that I had made only 78 yen, and other numbers on the list were zero yen. But now, I see "+224 yen!!" This is GOOD. I will donate whatever I make from my blogs to the city of Miyako. Then, hopefully the city of Miyako will let people know by saying "The blogger, Ito Shunsuke, from Miyako has donated 10,000 yen!!" on city paper. So, I will get more traffic, and it will make even more money. Then, I probably can donate 100,000 yen next year, and 1,000,000 yen for the following year, so on. When it reach to 10,000,000 yen, I will say       *LOL*

Portals in Miyako (1)

By playing INGRESS, the smartphone game, sometime it takes me to the places of cultural significance, such as public art, landmarks, monuments, etc. where I have never been or seen even in Miyako, my hometown.    　 I have been taking some pictures of those portals, so I would like to introduce them briefly with map link.  Some of them are not registered as the portals yet, but I had sent the request to INGRESS when I took the pictures. 1. Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park) [Portal Requesting Now] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP This park had opened in June 4th in 1993. You can walk not only behind the water fall, but also in the water with bear foot. So, it's nice place to "chill out" literally. 2. Suijin-hi (Stele of the Water God) [Portal] Map:  https://goo.gl/maps/jAZRP Next to the Suidou Kouen (Water Line Park,) there is Miyako Water Line Management Office.  When this Office opened, they made this stele.   In front of thi...
