Dmitry’s 6th birthday party
Finally, the party hour came. This is the day Dmitry has been waiting for: presents, birthday cake and guests. Mommy ordered a Spiderman birthday cake. I had no time to collect it from the bakery so we asked uncle BS to pick it up for us
Birthday Wish 2007
Last year, I made a birthday wish to learn Uechi-Ryu karate from Toyama Sensei. My wish came through and again thanks to Scott of Canada who led me the path.
Actually, I got to train with Toyama’s Sensei trusted student, Seizan Sensei, my teacher. And I got the chance to meet Toyama Sensei and performed in front of him. I feel I am one of those lucky people to be able to find great teacher.
This birthday, I make another wish, to achieve my dan ranking of my dream before I retire from public teaching. The dan and my retiring year remain as secret in my heart.
