stressed

I'VE been stressed from something. But I don't know what exactly it is...
But I'm really stressed... By the way, There are only about a month left until I go to Australia. Despite this, I've not prepared enough to go to Australia. I've got alot to do for studying abroad like visa application or living place in Australia...
Although i really need to do them as rapidly as possible, I know I always put things off until the last minutes and be in deperatin.... That's a Bad habit for me and I really have to think about it and break( get out of ) a bad habit........

I really should do it by the time I go to AU!!!

It's really boring to stay home all day

It's a rainy day. It has been raining for the last( past ) couple of weeks.... Because we are in the middle of rainy season in Japan.

Anyway, I spent all day today being in my bed..... What a day.... I was not so tired of anything, but i really wasted all day...... I will really make tomorrow so meaningful day!!

Good night.. hve a nice dream.

doy you have the time?

Do you know what time it is?
Do you have the time?

It is before 1 a.m. I'm too sleepy.... ordinarily I have been in bed at this time.......
you might ask me why i keep awake now....

Do you know what day it is? Don't you know that?
Today is the day of a soccer game "Spain's national team VS Russia's national team" as an EURO2008's semi final game. This is an event for European countries to fight for european domination at this competition.
All the best and famous players in Europe are getting together for this tournament. That's why I'm crazy about "EURO 2008" now!!!!
So, I'm supposed to watch the game on TV at my friend's house...I'm really looking forward to watching the game... I can't wait to see.......

So, I've got to take an energy drink and prepare well for it!
Ihave to say goodbye now and go!!

You will hear from me again soon!!

in the middle of rainy season

The rainy season, known as "Tsuyu" in Japan, has begun.
I hate the rainy season because I can't wash my clothes, do exercises outside and air my futon in the sun....

Hey, rain..... why dou you rain so much? you don't have to do like that!!
Give me a break!!! I will be happy if you just stop raining for a day!!!
NO? come on! OK! that's enough! bye!

oasis

do you know "OASIS"? According to "wikipedia", OASIS is a popular english rock band that formed in Manchester in 1991. i guess anyone ever listened to their song!! they are diputed super band!!

actually, I've known only the name , but i've never listened to! But, today, I surfed the youtube as usual in the library. And then, i previewed some tunes, thinking about something , and i found very cool one !! the title is "Champagne Supernova" performed by Oasis.. it is with a slow beat and very comfort to listen... It can heal me...
i would you like to listen to the tune!! I'm sure it will be your favorite song!!

the visitor from Australia

today, i had a visitor from the UC which I'm going from this summer. the visitor's name is Cathrin, who is a tall woman with long dark hair.. she looks so kind and out-going. In fact, she is so kind and had a generous heart!

we didn't have so much conversation, but I believed she was very reliable!

But!!! there was a big big problem.... It's about me... I major in english education in my college. despite this, I can speak only a little english.... so today I didn't have communication with her fluently.. i was very disappointed with my poor communication and listening skills.... but!!!! there's still time by my departure, so i must study hard than ever. I have no time to waste or be disgusted with myself...

it's first update in a long while!

evening! it's first update in a while! how have you been? me?
just fine!! I'm sorry not to update for a while. I've been busy for a while. for instance, went back home to my parent's, taught english at my former highschool, took a trip to hiroshima(to meet with my girlfriend) anyway. i had a busy schedule.... that's why i havn't been able to update !!!!

I was going to write a lot today, but I was out drinking with some friends until only a short while ago. so. i want to go to bed.... bye good night!!

It seems like a summer

by the way,

the end of GW

GW(the long holidays that has last for about a week )ended today!!
you know, a good time tend to go by with a lighting speed..... As i said, GW means about a week off from the end of April till the beggining of May. what i did this vacation? OK! let me tell you what i did. forst of all, i went back to my home town and stayed for a couple of days? for what? for nothing.... i just wanted to go parents' home.
duaring vaxation, i stayed home and read the book my friend lent me and played badminton at our local gym.
and i also had a nap in the afternoon, and walked the dog have kept since last october. that is the story of my spending GW in a nutshell! oops! got to watch TV and go to bed!! I've got to be my univ at nine a.m.!
damn!!

GW

GW is starting from next week!
GW means a long vacation from the end of April to the beginning of May! every year, a lot of families leave on a trip! some go to abroad, others stay home!

As for me, I'm going to Hiroshima to meet my girlfriend on May 3,4th. We are long-distance love, so I can rarely meet her. At most, we meet just once a month. Normal long-distance lovers want to meet for a lot of times, but i am unenthusiastic about love, so I don't care even if I can't see her so many times!

But!! It has been a long time and the date of next will be my first date in a while, so I'm going to enjoy meeting with her!

graduation thesis

It's time to start working on my graduation thesis. I've not gotten it into shape, but I don't have much time left because I'm sopposed to go to Australia for studying abroad in August, so I have to decide the theme and finish writing of my thesis.

I'm in terested in media, especially in mass communication. So, I will write about them.

today, I went to school library and investigated a subject of my thesis. There were a wide range of topics, so it is hard to choose only a theme. But!! I'm thinking about writing about "Media literacy"

Media literacy means the process of accessing, analyzing, evaluating, and creating messages in a wide variety of mass media. Generally, mass communication tends to broadcast everything extremely because they want to get moreand more viewers. IT's just one of the business like other cooperations. stimulate viewers interest and attract audiences

If i were a president of my country

If you were a president, what do you want to do by making use of the big influence on citizens?

If i were you, first of all, I would like to reduce poverty all over the world. now, it is said that many countries have become more affluent than they used to be. in the world, economic developments have increased rapidly and the gap between developed countreis and develoing countries has closed little by little. but,I think their information is limited largely to few countries. the regional gaps still remain deeply in some countries. According to some news paper, in sub-Saharan Africa, the shortage of foods and drinking water is crucial issue and most of the people are suffering from hunger. So we must make a move as quickly as possible for the countries. so we have to offer financial and human resources aids

holiday

It's a holiday! it means today is a holiday! I've ever written about the best way of spending holdays! Today, I had a lunch with Yuma and Mr. Nakashima(associate professor at my university) in Katustei. We stayed there for about two hours. After having a good lunch, Nakashit suggested going for a walk in the park near katsutei. so, we went to the park. In the park, we lazed in the sunshine for a while. we chatted about our favorite comedians and comedy shows. Each member has our own favorite comedian. but there is a comedian who we all like. It's a "FUJIWARA"!! they are the popular comedian duo from kansai. they are both wonderful comedian and talented entertainer!!! Let's check it out!!

That's no fun!

That's no fun!!! I was supposed to do the part time job as a clinical research volunteer from today!!!!!!
But!! I took a basic blood test for health check and was said that my platelet is slightly elevated above normal, so I couldn't do the part time job..... damn! the reasons are not clearly understood, but it might be caused by lack of sleep.. I was supposed to get 63000 yen... but I ended up receiving only 7000 yen!!
F&~$!!

FRESHMAN

HI, THERE! LONG TIME NO SEE. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME!
SOORY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR A LONG TIME. i REALLY WANTED TO UODATE MY DIARY, BUT I CAUGHT A COLD, SO I WAS IN POOR HEALTH AND IN THE BED FOR ABOUT A WEEK!(IT'S A LIE, FOR ABOUT COUPLE OF DAYS, I WAS JUST LAZYYYYYYY)HE

BY THE WAY, NEW SCHOOL TERM BEGAN A WEEK AGO AND I AM A SENIOR STUDENT THIS YEAR. MOST OF THE SENIOR GENERLLY ARE BUSY FINDING A JOB AROUND THIS TIME OF YEAR. SO, FEW SENIOR STUDENTS ARE IN SCHOOL.... INSTEAD OF THEM, THERE ARE MANY FRESHMEN IN COLLEGE. THEY ALL SEEM TO FEEL HOPEFUL AND HAVE A LOT OF ANXIETY ABOUT THE SCHOOL LIFE.
ALL OF THEM MUST BE ENJOYING THEIR SCHOOL LIFE!!

IN CONTRAST, WE FEEL SMALL BECAUSE THIS YEAR IS THE LAST YEAR AND WE RARELY GO TO SCHOOL. MOST OF THEM HAVE ALREADY
GOTTEN ENOUGH CREDITS TO GRADUATE COLLEGE! BUT!!!! I HAVE FLUNKED SOME CLASS SO FAR AND NOT EARNED SUFFICIENT CREDITS FOR GRADUATION YET . THAT'S WHY I HAVE TO GO TO SCHOOL AND TAKE SOME CLASS AS USUAL LIKE FRESHMEN!!
FUCKK!!!!

Let's go t0 Okinawa!

I'm going to Okinawa tomorrow for three days and two nights! Who are you going with? I'm going to travel with some acquaintances living in Tokyo. Most of them are men remaining single in their early thirty's. Each of them has different jobs. For example, a manage of used car dealer ships, a professional cleaner, a corporate employee, a firefighter, corporate operator, jazz or opera singer and so on. All of them are the person who I owe everything!
They are so kind and rich in humanity and I really respect them as a person.
I will travel with such people, so I am looking forward to the travel and seeing them!!

But, I also feel anxious about drinking, because I can't hold much alcohol. I'm a poor drinker, but everyone except for me are fond of drink and always have a binge(go ont the binge) when they go to Okinawa. There are various kinds of alcohol beverage, they like especially "Awamori", which is a sort of distilled spirit and it contains a large amoun of alcohol. Anyway, we will have a good time. I've got to be Fukuoka Airport early morning, so I need to go to bed! Bye!!

stomach ache

I have a stomach ache as ever. I have known the causes of my pain. They are some stress and irregular eating and sleeping habits. Nobody can live daily life without stress, all of the people are under huge stress.
So, first of all, I need to improve my irregular eating and sleeping habits.
I always go to bed at around 4 a.m. It's a too late for the most of the people. I have a late night. What do you do late at night? I usually surf the World Wide Web. I search for anything on my mind like travelling, sports, fashion, youtube, we-based news and so on. In particular, I like to browse the "youtube" , which is an internet site that carries videos of all kinds. It's very terrific for me. We can watch most any music clips of a lot of singers. we can see not only music videos, but also the TV program like the drama you missed.
Thus, Youtube is a versatile site!!

cheerless rainy day

It's a rainy day! when it rains, I always feel down, because I can't do the laundry, go for a walk or do the exercise outdoors.

Today, we had a heavy rain for the first time in a while. It has stayed a clear day for the recent couple of weeks, so I have hung the laundry out to dry, but today I put the laundry in the drier. The drier is great because it can dry clothes faster than usual and makes them soft, so they have a soft touch after finishing the dry. But, there are also have drawbacks. forst of all, It brings a lot of moisture into the room, so I always need to remove the moisture from the air when i use the drier. It's too much of a bother!

sleepy

I'm too sleepy.... How come? Because i stayed up all night long yesterday. What was I doing? Sang songs in Karaoke, sat and chatted over a cup of coffee, walked to "Momochi beach"
Beach? Why should I went to the beach? I never would have guessed that I walked to the beach in the early morning at around 5 a.m.!
There is a number of reasons. First of all, breaking trust with myfriend Tamari was linked to walking to the beach on the early morning....
To begin with, I had an appointment with tamari at 3 p.m. yesterday. we were supposed to walk to "momochi", but I had something to do at my college in the morning, so I was xbout two hours late for our meeting. At the moment, She was definitely in a bit of bad mood.
To make matters worse, I grew lazy about going the beach and eventually didn't go to there.

Oh, my... I gradually grow lazy about continuing my writing....
I need to go to bed,,, goodbye.

punishment of dath

What do you think of the death penalty?

1.It's a good idea; eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth.

2.It's a good idea, but only in extreme cases(i.e. serial killers)

3.It's wrong; we don't have the right to take the life of others, no matter what they did.

4.I'm undecided.

what did you choose from above alternatives?

As for me, I am against the death penalty. I think nobody have the right to take someone's life! In most cases, crimes are the result of either impulsive reaction or the act of an unsound mind. So the offender should be given imprisonment for life so that they regret their acts and try to become better person.
people can't pay for their crimes with death. They should continue to live and suffer from a sense of guilt.

Costco Wholesale Corp.

Today, I went shopping with my friends. Where did we go for shopping?
It's Costco wholesale! Costco is the largest membership warehouse club chain in the world based on sales volume, headquartered in Washington, United States. According to "wikipedia", it is the fourth biggest general retailer in the United States, after Wal-mart, The Home Depot, and Korger.

Unlike many retailes in japan, Costco sell all of commodities in a bundle, so we have to purchase items in large quantities at one time. It's not the custom to buy things in large quantities at a time, and we were very surprised to see those commodities. Tamari(is one of my friends) was very excited and has bought a lot of things compulsively. As a result, she've bought many unnecessary things and spent her money excessively.

However, we had a great experience!

birthday!

March 18th is my birthday! So some of my friends sent me birthday greetings by e-mail! I was very happy to receive them. I'd appriciate that they celebrated my twenty-first birthday!!

Yesterday(March eighteenth) was a day which will long stand in my memory.
I was with my girlfriend who lives in Hiroshima prefecture yesterday. We met at tenjin in the evening and went to Starbucks. We chatted about our own school life each other for an hour. After that, We headed to a movie theater which is near "Iwataya" and saw the film "American gangster" there together. The theater was almost empty, so we had there like all to ourselves. The movie was very exciting and my taste! It is a suspense movie starring with Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington. Both actor is my favorite actor, so I really liked the film! But both seems to gain a lot of weight. they should lose weight!
Anyway, After that, we had dinner at restaurant in Daimyou, there were a lot of dishes which effect on health and beauty on the menu, so I wondered what to eat! Among them, cheese fried duck was terrific!
Thus, we had a great time together!!

dog 2

Sorry about yesterday!
I am going to pay more attention to the battery of my PC in the future. I have to prevent this from happening again!

Anyway, I need to resume the story of "Chocolat"! As I said, he is soft-headed.
Firstly, He barks at all comers. My dog is so fool that he can't tell allies from enemies!! So people living in the neighborhood are annoyed by him!! My family are afraid of getting complaints about him.

Secondly, he always poo on everywhere like on the carpet, flooring, or tatami mats.
So my mother is often busy cleaning yp them....

Thus, My dog is really stubid!
However, he is very lovely and have become attached to me! He always looks happy, wagging his tail when I caress his head.

Dog

I've been in my home town since the day before yesterday. I had so much of free time in Fukuoka and some documents to give my parents that went back to my home town.
My home town is Hikari, Yamaguchi. My hometown have'nt changed a bit and is still the same palce when I was child. Hikari is surrounded by nature like the beach or mountain. There is many incovenience to live there, but I really like Hikari. I hope to come back to hikari someday.....with my future wife!!

By the way, my family have kept a dog at my house since about last October. The dog's name is ”Chocolat” , which is given by my older sisiter . I feel that my sister has bad sense.

I'll talk about "Chocolat". He is male and at the age of about five or six months. He is very lovely, but!!!　Unfortunately, He is very stupid dog!!
Firstly, oops!!! Sorry! the battery is so low that I need to change the battery..... OK!! So much for today!! To be continued later!! See you next updating!

Muscle training!

Today, I've trained my muscle in the school gym until a short while ago.
You may say "Why do you need to train your muscle?". I'll tell you why!
Because.... I want to have hugely-muscled body and to be popular with the young girls!
We can gather from many kinds of Hollywood films that well-muscled men are tend to be attractive to women.

In the school gymnasium at my university, most machines of getting in shape are there, so I sometimes go there and develop my muscles.
But it's not so easy to get my body well-muscled, so far, I've failed to get visible results...

Constant effort is very important in everything.
That's why I'll need to keep up muscle training.

sweets junkie

I love sweets. Tamari, who is may friend, also loves sweets. Both of us are sweets junkie.

Today, she brought some sweets to my house and we ate them together. This is not the first time for us to eat sweets. We often make a selection and buy some sweets at depa-chika and eat them, drinking coffees in Starbucks.
Anyway, She came to my house with presents. She bought no fewer than four cakes( two chocolate cakes, a cheese cake, and a mille feuille ). All of them were very good except for the cheese cake. For your information, the cheese cake at "Hard rock cafe" is the best one I've ever had.
After gorging myself with cakes, we watched TV show and chatted about this and that over cups of tea.
We had a good time and she left my home at about 9 a.m.
Eating sweets is the way for us to let our stresses out. We always eat plenty of sweets when we are exhausted and under a lot of stresses. According to a news paper, A professor at an Australian university has recently announced that eating chocolates may reduce stress. According to the research, eating chocolates cause the same chemical reaction in the body as anti-depressant drugs and the suger in chocolates stimulates digestive system and improves mood, so it can makes us feel happy. That's why the benefit of eating chocolate has been demonstrated scientifically.
But, eating large amounts of chocolate may causes bad health, so you should be careful not to eat too much of it

Study meeting

Today, I have a study meeting with my friends, Shinsuke, Ayumi in Mr. Hunatsu's office.
We studied about English grammar and were taught the accuracy of English by Mr. hunatsu and Native American(Luke). Luke has come to Japan as a exchange student sinnce last October.
We translated some Japanese sentences into English for an hour and a half. I have had many grammar errors more than expected. I've not figured out how to use article, like a or the, and verb, like do or go. I felt anew English grammar is very difficult..... and I will should study English harder and be more careful with grammar.
We will have the meeting three times in all. Next time is next monday, so I'll have gotten better English by next meeting.

Tardy

Today, I was supposed to do my part time job from noon, but I got up at 12:05pm.
It means to be late. i prepared for work quickly and headed to my job. Eventually, I arrived about thirty minutes late. Ofcourse like most of late comers I was told off for being late by thestore manager.
I felt down because I was timid person.
I would apologize to my colleagues for the inconvenience.....

I often overslept..... why? Getting up late and being late are my top issues.
How can I get over them? I don't know!!!

Cockroaches.......

What a terrible night......... What is the haps? it came from out of nowhere.... Actually a cockroach appeared on the TV in my room..... It is no doubt that he(or she?) crawled on the TV and stared at me coldly.... Of course I glared back.... but, I gave up glaring easily and was just frightened by the black devil....
I tried to squash a cockroach, but his quick movement gave me a lot of trouble and he ran away. That is why I passed up the opportunity of cleaning up the cockroach......
So, He holed up somewhere..... Jesus Christ.....

what do you dislike most about studying English

The above is the question that was on the TOEFL test for speaking.
What do you think? I think there are some people who like studying English very much.
But most of the people have at least one point which dislike about studying english.
I'm Japanese, so it is very difficult for me to learn not only english, but also other second languages.
For me, in particular, I don't like the listening to an english. I've studied English for about 6 years throughout my junior high school and high school days, but I've spent english classes studying only writing or reading by such as grammar translation method. So, I'm unused to listeng to an English. In while ago, When I talked with native English speaker, I couldn't hear his english mostly though I had extensive vocablaries in emglish. It shows however we have a plenty of English vocablary, I can't hear their words.....
Thus, I dislike listening to an english..

reading books

I haven't liked to read books until a little while ago, but recently I've come to read some books once in a while.

I read only the books of interest though I read some books.
For instance, "Norwegian wood", "Slow Goodbye" and so on. Both book is very interesting and I was all choked up when I finished reading them. They are kinds of Love romances and have a sense of affinity for our love... I was very moved by them. Why don't you read them?

And now, What is the benefits in reading books?
the following is the list of the advantages to read books.

1. we can take in a lot of information from many kinds of books.For eaxmple, in the novel which is the story of bartenders, there are many kinds of cocktails, so we can know more about a variety of cocktails after finished reading the book.

2. providing an escape from day-to-day life. there is a very big imaginary world in books, so I can go anywhere, anytime I want. In the books such as SF, we can even travel in space. Thus Books helps us go to dream world and keeps us far away from daily life. It's sounds very terrific and beautiful.

What's?

Today,I spent half a day in the bed sleeping? I don’t know why I did such a thing. It always happens for everyone, maybe. I’m sure that Tamari probably agree with me. I woke up at three p.m. As soon as I got up, I felt hungry, so I got lunch readied. After lunch, I felt sleepy again, so I took a midday nap (hirune in Japanese). I just realized that it’s 8 p.m. when I was woke up again…. I really regretted that I had what a wasteful day….
I henceforth promise that I eliminate wasting time like a sleeping too much on days off.
When on holidays, I resolved to lead a useful life and make my college life more meaningful.

The Toefl course is over

Hello!! This is my first update in a while. So sorry to neglect updaying my diary for few weeks.
I was busy completing my task of university for a while. But, at last, I have finished handing in all of my reports.

By the way, the TOEFL course end today! all of attendants have studied English intensively for a week. Personally, the course was very beneficial class for me and I was happy to talk with some native teachers. I like all of the teachers, espesially mr. Brown. He is part-timer and come to my university from time to time. He has very gentle character and he is so friendly. Besids that, He replies politely(answer respectfully) to our some quesions.

I want to have chances to talk with him again.
Anyway, I learned a lot from the course and it was very good experience and meaningful for me.

hi! there!

the word I studied from a film "Ponzi scheme" or "pyramid scheme" mean "nezumikou"

Anyway, today we will have lesson about "presidential election" it is said that "race for Federal office"

1. land slide(it means the victory of an election with extremely large number of votes)
<illustrative sentence>
the opinion polls are predicting Liberal landslide in next week's election.

<Millions of dollars were spent on lawyers in a courtroom between two companies >

3. primary(it means an election in which people who belong to a political party choose who will represent that party in an election for political office)

4. front-runner(it means the parson, animal or organization that is most likely to win something)

TOEFL　intensive　course

From today, I take the TOEFL intensive course aimed at students who want to improve their english abilities and the countermeasure for the TOEFL test. It will continue next Tuesday. During the period, we study English from morning till evening everyday. We are split up into two groups A or B, and there are two classes of four sections in a day. the hour per a class is 3, so it's long and we got tired of studying soon. in the Morning class, we srudied of reading section in TOEFL. Ms. Huchigami have this class and I met her for the first time. Her first impression is "looks so nelly(okama)" Of course whatever it takes, I can't call her nelly, but she is really like N-boy. Besides that, probably we are mismatched. It was sort of feel... I think myself "What a rude man"
Fortunately for me, tomorrow's afternoon class is canceled, so I will take a rest from studying.

Dream

Everyone has their own dreams in the future and would like to believe that the dremas come true!
BUT!! There are two types of them. Some people can make their dreams reality, others can't. What's the difference of them? Luck? Circumstance? Status? nothing of them is correct! It's the size of feeling that I definitely want to be!! If you gave up your dream, It means that the dream is not the one you really want to make come true. Whether you have talents for them or not, the feeling is very crucial factor... You ought not to forget it...
There is a long way to go! You haven't seen anything yet! ayou haven't won yet.... As I said, Uncompromising and strong belief is very important for us. when If you lost your dream, it means that you start to live toward the diametrical oppsite life of your ideal(desirable) life....

Drinking 　party

Today, until just a few hours ago, I had a drinking party at "minami"(near my house and my college students often go there). What is this party for? In celebration of the graduation of my senior at the college, we had a party today.
There are some seniors who i did't so close to, but I think we should respect our elders, so I respect all of the seniors. Particulary, among of them, I often owed "Yusuke-san" who is graduate from the graduate school. He has a very good personality and a very big heart. So Every student respect, also including me, him very much. He is very gentle to everyone and always tries to be nice. So, I really feel lonely to his graduate...
But, time flees away without delay... and our grade are almost the highest grade and going to graduate next year...
Today, We have many junior fellows and we also have to be just like "Yusuke-san". I must brace ourselves and work harder and become like him and talk to my juniors without hesitation this year than ever

Chocolate

Do you like Chocolates? I like it. Tamari wrote the article about St Valentine, so i also intend to write about chocolates.
According to "wikioedia" on the web site, It is said that chocolates used to be considered as not solid but drink in the world. Later, United Kingdom created the solid type of chocolates.
There is no difference for chocolates between solid-types and liquid-types in French or Spanish.
Even though Evereyone believes that taking many chocolates cause us bloody nose, but it has no foundation and mistaken belief. Wiki says most kinds of animals can't eat chocolates or cocoas because the ingredient of them called "theobromine" may toxicate animals...
What chocolates do you like the best? white one? raw one? chocolate juice? I like the normal type of chocolates best. There are many luxury chocolate shops all over the world,for example, GODIVA, PIERRE MARCOLINI(I received the one as souvenir by Mr. nakashima sometime ago ) and so on. Also in japan, the shops like them have increased more and more lately.
BUT!! I can't distinguish high-class chocolates from the ordinary one, so cheap chocolates are beter for me..

human-beings are greed

Don't you think human-beings are very greedy? I think it is right. we've forgotten to express our appreciation toward an usual life before we knew it... Althogh most of us are convinced that our daily lives are very natural, but it is misguided thought. In the world, there are a lot of unfortunate people than us. For instance, the people who are blind, deaf, or limbless and so on. they don't have what we have normally.. Do you know Helen Keller? She is the famous blind, deaf, and mute woman in America. Despite those difficulties, finally she overcame her barriers and succeeded in vocalizing sounds. she never lost her silver of life and tried her best toward her goal...
Her existence makes us feel self-disgust and gives us many courages.
All of us should show more appreciation toward an usual life...
And should achieve our ideal self-realization someday.

Tenjin

Today, I went to Tenjin(the most flourishing area in Fukuoka ) by bus at early afternoon. It took about 1 hour from Munakata to Tenjin.
Who did I go with? nobody.. but, i promised to meet someone for coffee break! It's TAMARI! my friend.
I met her at the Star Bucks on Nishi St. and stayed there for about two hours. She wrote her resume to entry the company she hope to be employed and I read some newspapers and a work of fiction(novel).
And then, we left there and headed to Mr Doughnut(japanese famous doughnuts chain) and had some doughnuts(Tamari said puff-ring is the most delicious one) and cup of tea for an hour. And Next destination is "Tower Record"(big CD store) and we previewed our own some curious CDs for 1 hour. It was very short time, but we enjoyed our precious time. See you next date!

Final Exam

Today, I took the final exam of this semester. "Let's enjoy spring break!" is what I'd like to say, but I can't say like that. There are a lot of things during springholidays...
Lately, Most of my friends start participating in recruiting activities, so probably they're going to be busy doing that during spring break.
How about me? I'm not going to do my job search because I don't have desire to do that, but want to study abroad this year.
So, for first step, I have to choose the place that I will study and prepare for that.
I don't have particular country I want to go, but it's not that anywhere is ok.
There are many points to have to take account of when I locate the place. For example, cost of living, public safety, climate and so on. mmm... there is a long way to go....

piano

I have been felt a longing toward piano performer for a long time. I can't play the piano at all, but I think musical performer is awesome..especially piano performer. Surprisingly, my friend, Tamari can play the piano very well. When I went to "Fukken" with friends of my univerity, she was playing the piano very well. I believe "sounds" are able to move human's heart and mind.. In the world, there are many kinds of "sounds". In particular, I like the sound of piano the most.
<My Favorite song >

・Merry Christmas Mr.lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto
When I was highschool student, I heard this tune for the first time and was moved by. It's not be used to listening, but I can't help feeling something like nostalgic... the sound always makes me feel relax.

・longing/love by Jeorge Winston
I don't remember where is the place I met this song for the first time, but its melody has kept in my head since then. I think this song is the love song that makes me feel a little bit lonely.. you must listen to it if you have not ever heard.

feels bad..

Now, I'm suffering from a stomach ache.. why? I don't know... What causes my pain? Whatever the cause, I feel bad...
Today, I had a dinner with usual friends at Mr.nakshima's house(lately, tamari wonder if we are homosexual couple)
we had a nabe-party and ate some chikens, spinaches, chinese cabbage, dumplings, and so on..
all of them were very delicious and we had a comfortable time.... After dinner, when nakashit was making some coffee for us, all of a sudden had a stomachache..and felt very bad...and got beyond my endurance....
s*$^!

Now, the presidential race for Democrats and Republicans in U.S.A is hot!!

Now, the presidential race in the U.S is very hot! recently, it is frequently reported by the media and the battle is heating up more and mored. I'm Japanese, but I'm also interested in the result. I don't know why, but if possible, I want to vote for amerian presidential race rather than that in japan.
The following are the major candidates!

<DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES> <REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES>
1.Hillary Rodham Clinton 1.John McCain
Current Job/Position: Senator from New York Current Job/Position: Senator from Arizona

2. Barack Obama 2.Mitt Romney
Current Job/Position: Senator from Illinois current Job/Position: candidacy

Both candidacy races are very heated up and scrambled, I am particularly curious about the democratic candidates.
Because Whoever candidates is selected, it will be the president for the first time ever.
If Hillary win the election, she will be the first president as a female. If Barack Obama win the race, He will the first president as a black in American history. So, whichever win the race, it is revolutionary incident!!
At this time, for democrats, Hillary is ahead of Obama in total deligates count, but the race have along way to go, and Obama gradually close in from behind with high pace bit by bit. The god only knows which wil win....

Part time job

Today is holiday because it is Saturday!
But, I worked part time at Mr. nakashima's house with Yuma(he is one of my friends and crazy) from mornig till evening because Mr. nakashima(my favored professor and I always owe to him in his class) asked me to mark examination papers in the many classes of which he has charge. At this time of year, all of the students in our college have tests and he has to mark a lot of exam papers by himself, so he asked foe help to us.
In the beginning we worked smoothly, but the routine work gradually made us feel bored and prevent me from working hard. As a result, we started to play musical instruments(I hardly played and was just listenning to their performance). in his house, there are keyboard and electronic-drum and Mr. nakashima often palys them for a change. he palys them very well. It seems that he has relative hearing and good sense of music! He can also improvise our requesting songs by his keyboard! He is awesome!!

Diann's seminar

In my university, we have to choose the "room"(like seminar? Every professor has their own field and room. ) in line with the theme of our graduation thesis at third grade in our university.
I decided to enter Diann Rimmer’s room. She is Australian and her field of expertise is “Intercultural Communication”. I’m interested in global communication, so decide to enter her room.
Today is first lesson for her room.
From about 2 o’clock to five, members of her room, including me chatted about some topics with Diann, It’s so fun, but I also really feel the poor of my English ability.
In particular, I couldn’t express what I really want to say in English and they made me feel stress and bitterness…. I have to study English harder than ever and want to be better at speaking English.

Today's Movie

Today, I will introduce the movie "schindler's list" released in 1993 to you.
"schindler's list" is based on the true story of Austrian industrialist Oscar Schindler,who harbored Polish jews during World War Ⅱ by using them as workers in his factory. Schindler saved about 1,100 jews from certain death.
The film was distributed by Universal Pictures and directed by Steven Spielberg. For your information, It is said that Spielberg didn't receive the salary as a director. Running time for the film is about 3 hours, so this film is devided into two disks.
It featured holocaust, so there are many cruel scenes where the Nazis abused and murder a lot of jews..
This film has impressed at a huge number of people including me and been one of the classics still now.

I'd like you to see this premier movie!

the OC

My recent favorite american TV drama is "the OC".
What's the story like? Some highschool students live in the high-class residential area called "orange county" play out their very exciting and annoying school life and come through full of roller coaster life.
Each character has their own charm point.
ryan:he is cool and smart guy! look a little like ucchan(japanese famous comedian)

marissa:she is so beautiful and cute. In the drama, she wore many flashy clothes and did a lot of islam dance,but her sweetness can cover all of her behaviors.
the cast also features lachel billson as summer, peter .... and i don't remember....

Anyway , you must see this drama! I have quite confidence that every young people will certainly have an allure for this exciting TV show!

too cold...

Lately, it's too cold! i don't feel like going out, even to school. but it can't be helped because it is natural phenomenon.. Although You say "so, wear a lot of clothes not to catch a cold!" , but I don't have any clothes which protect me from the severity of the winter. So I have to buy the clothes like keep me warm every time.
Which choice is the best? patagonia? north face? karrimor? or another down-jackets? but it's too costly to buy for me.. It cost about 30000 yen to buy one, so i have to do part time job for buying the long-cherished down-jacket of Patagonia. I will do my best for patagonia.

<P>When I took the TOEFL test,  this kind of question was asked to me....  I didin' t haave idea what is need for a leader the most ..<BR>Firstly,I think the most important thing for a leader is sharing some ideas with other members...
