Hi, kobochisan!
Thanks, now it gets better, I hope.
It is raining today. Rain in fall reminds me of the past days. Better love affairs, studying for University exam etc. I found I got older than before.
Yesterday I met with my friends of high school and watched a video of play which we did together 8 years ago. They were so young :) But I found I had had passion for life.
I went to Komazawa part yesterday. The climate has been changed a lot since I went there two weeks ago. I like seasons in Japan, which is my main background. I am interested in Tanka recently. I would like to express my feelings that I can not write precisely in words.
Ah, I was sick last week. I was really afraid of being the flu. But I was not.
Now I am pretty well.
Recently I wake up early in the morning. I mean, I restart my style again. Well, thanks to the sick, I am totally refreshed. My last winter in Tokyo comes!
Today seems to be a holiday. I did not know that. There is nobody inside our building. For me, everyday is like Sunday. This is students' "prerogative". I study a lot and I will be a good educator though I will work at a steel maker next April.
I went to a festival held by Yoshiki who was member of BlueBullets. He did it for his friend who had serious disease and now struggling for recovery. I felt a lot from his attitude to him and the party itself. What is most important for our life? I gradually understand. And I would like to tell them to young along with learning other precious things of life. I would like to devote myself into education in some years. As the first step, I learn traditional Japanese work style and top engineering.
Tomorrow I have a presentation at our laboratory. Ordinary it is just for showing the process of research. So it is not so tough. However, I would like to prepare really intensively because I would like to finish my research as soon as possible, earlier than the real deadline.
I started making Tanka (poet only using 31 characters) every day and exchange it with my fiancee. This is really good for reminding the day because we have to choose an event which is most central in that day. One problem is that I can not show you my "works" because it is too personal...
Recently I waked up really early morning. The air in winter morning is so clear that I refresh a lot. I guess there are many things whose values can not be evaluated like winter morning!
Last Saturday I had a big event as ever. But it was so successful. I stepped in next world. I do not know what will happen in the future. I am really exited.
I started to log in Twitter. http://twitter.com/tabayashi I use it as RSS reader of world news with following world news sites like CNN, BBC, 人民日報, Apple daily and so on. Apple daily is interesting and funny. They get readers heart.
Yesterday I was exhausted and rested a whole day. Now I am recovered. Actually I should have gone to our lab because we had a baseball match in our Institute! It is an annual big event for us, maybe it is more important than conferences :)
By the way, I am learning Chinese. Two of our members are naive Chinese speaker, so it is a precious chance to study. I hope I can speak a little by graduation.
It is really cold recently. I find that the temperature in Austria is actually much lower than in Tokyo. But I feel colder in Japan than in Wien. It is partly because there are no space to avoid wind in Japan. And in addition, I think, it is usual to change climate in a short time.
Tomorrow I have a presentation for my lab members. I planed to finish all of my tasks, but it has not. Hmm, that's the way it is! :) The only thing to do is to go ached.
Hello Ube-san :)
Do you live in Vienna?
I'm going to go to Vienna at the beginning of February for a week.
I'd be happy if you give me any information about Vienna because it will be my first experience to go to Europe!
Now I'm worrying whethere I should buy and bring warm-enough outerwear or not. As I'm not get used to be in cold climate, it is my trouble now.
I am in Japan, unfortunately. I would suggest you to keep on your eyes on the weather forecast because it is pretty changeable in climate in Vienna. We could not know how it goes until the very last days.
Recently I devote into my thesis, so I feel I have nothing to do anything else. But it is just my feeling. Actually I have much time to spend to other activities.
I should be more careful to distinguish my "feeling" from physical (especially time) limitation.
This year I would like to contribute to others as much as possible. On one side, I just want to help others. On the other side, it is a training for contributing. In my opinion, every skill can be learned by training. I would like to contribute others, so I will train it this year.
In addition to it, I keep reading. Last year I had read over 100 books, so I hope I will have read as many.
In the US, there are plenty of unemployed lawyers even they graduated high leveled universities. Today, they intend to increase the numbers of lawyers in Japan without any consideration about "saturation". So in a few decades, the same phenomena will happen in Japan as well, I think.
I just read the articles about the $2 million donation via mobile phone. If I could do it from my cellphone, I would do it! I sometimes donate on kids in developing countries and stuff on the internet, most of the time you have to have a credit card, and the process until you get confirmed takes too long! This system is clever!
Hi Marisan!
I am very glad to have your comment, thank you!
Yes, I totally agree with you. This contribution system is really nice and convenient to donate!
I guess people in USA take goods and bads of "freedom". This is a kind of bad effects of freedom. If one culture forbid to take junk food for children, then there would be no problems related to the "junk food". However, in the US, there are no reasons against that, so they have a big problem now. I mean, I have to emphasis it is just in my opinion, if a suggestion is not verified, they would hardly take it as a rule in the US. It is difficult, at least time-spending, to say it to be bad for children to take junk food. But I am sure it is bad, so they should not take it without "reason" or "verifying". Maybe wise parents have already done so even in the US.
Long to see you! Now I use iPhone and yesterday I bought an application called "mixia" well-interfaced one for mixi on iPhone.
Last month I became an engineer at a steel company. Now I am in a training term for freshmen. I enjoy very much for it because my supervisor has taught me a lot, which I contribute to improvement of our business even I am a novice.
I take English learning class today and tomorrow. My Toeic score is good in our class, I think other members do better than me. I need practice continuously.
I was assigned to work in Kyusyu last July. Then I got married last October. After two months of our marriage, she got pregnant. We bought a car, and now I am working hard. Hmm, there seems to be a lot of things, but not so much. Only 4 lines are enough for discription. Life is very short.
