posture

I sometimes edit animations of human beings' motion on bussiness. I had the animation work of human's walking today. The person in charge asked for lady's walking motion so I sought such motion in the motion library we captured ever. But the motion matched for his order was not in the library, so I decided to capture my walking motion. I put on the suits and captured. I am always surprised my own posture unsymmetric. My gravity center leans in the right side, in particular, my head always leans to the right side. Due to this leaning caused my hallux valgus of right foot, I supposed. The bachache, stiff shoulder etc. might be caused this leaning. By the way, the story about health is talked over among old people. It is the time I feel I have aged.

Keep Tryin'

I bought Hiraru Utada's new song Keep Tryin' at iTune music store yesterday. I have loved Hikaru Utada since her debut. It seems like she has accesible feelings even though a rich. She writes everydays issue in her songs and we empathize them, I suppose. This song Keep Tryin' is a CM song before the sales so I have listened this song many times on TV. I have decided to buy the song since I listened for the first time. I copied the song to my white iPod as soon as I bought it. Due to that, I didn't listen English listening materials in my iPod but Keep Tryin' all the time I listened to iPod.

wake

I attended the wake of my friend's husband. I haven't met him in person but I have seen his picture. My friend married him last April. It has only been 10 months since they married. I heard that he got drunk and fell into the water channel headfirst. I terrified beyond words. I didn't think of the death of my significant other though I felt sorry for her. Also I never want to imagine I would be a chief mourner at this age. I talked with friends from highschool what we can do for her. We came to the conclusion that to be with her is the most important. The lonliness and sadness will come to her after this busy ceremony. We hope she feel she is not lonely, she has many friends.

have a hay fever at last

At last I was caused hay fever. I have had KW lactic acid bacterium since last December 1st. I have believed that KW lactic acid bacterium is the miracle medicine for hay fever until today. But the belief was broken away. By the way, I went to a university to deliver our system. The person in charge was a woman who played aikido which was the art of weaponless self-defense. It is a kind of sports today. I thought she has a good posture due to playing aikido.

I got email from a customer today. He wrote "Ok for the order , Late me now when you sending the goods , Best regard" in the message. That is that he doesn't need the goods and he wants to cancel the order? Somebody help! I can't understand the meaning of the message...

Olympic

Olympic has held in Torino now. The live performance is broardcasted at midnight in Japan and Japanese athletes have no medal for now, so I hardly watched the Olympic games on TV. But it is nice to know some athletes through the sports news program or the interviews. In Japan, the winter sports has no chance to attract the attention of the public. Therefore, they can't gather money to continue to train the sports from some company. If I were they, I couldn't say that I want to get gold for all the people in Japan not me.

sea kayak

I gave a demonstration to a customer. I knew him since 2 years ago. He haven't installed our system yet but he was interested in our new system this time. I hope he will get our system. By the way, he said that he played sea kayak even though he kept it from his coworkers. He looks like to play some marine sports as he was well tanned. He invited us to paly sea kayak with him whenever occasion arises. I'd like to play it some time.

Hokkaido



I went to Hokkaido this year, too. Last year, we delivered our system to Hokkaido science museum. This time, I went there to have a maintenance. The tempreture was -8 degrees C when I saw the thermometer at the airport in Hokkaido. For your information, it was about 10 degrees in Tokyo. Much snow was remained on the ground in Hokkaido. I found flower buds in the heavy snow, and I thought spring will come soon even though still snowing. On the other hand, I could see the solid model of Howl's moving castle which is a movie directed by Hayao Miyazaki know as a famous Japanese animation director. I didn't know why it was displayed at the museum but I was glad to see it.

etc.

I went to my parent's house today, and I borrowed their car to drive with Neko. It takes about 1.5 hour to my parent's house from my house by train. I and Neko left for my parent's house early in the morning not to waste our time for today. We picked the car up, and then we went to my sister's house to get her black long coat she no longer wears. She is a fashion consultant at Isetan where is a famous department in Shinjuku. Therefore she has many clothes in her closet. Sometime she sells those clothes to the used-cloth shop, and sometimes she gives those to me. This time, I proposed to sell them at Yahoo auction. We are happy if they are sold. We talked with a lot after a long time. My nephew was growing up. He can already speak not only words or phrase but sentences. He is a shy boy, he like that is very lovely.

Saturday at the same time holiday

It is National Foundation Day today, at the same time Saturday. I feel it is a shame to be the national holiday on Saturday because if the holiday is weekday I could get a day off of work. If the holiday is on Sunday you can get a day off on Monday in Japan instead. But I don't feel my advantage if I can get the alternative holiday, I think I deserve it. It's what man is really about, or just me?

morning sun

When I opened the curtains this morning I saw the morning sun between buildings. It felt like I was locked in each other's gaze though sun didn't have eyes. It was a nice view. I felt the air was filled with energy, a person's indivisual day is going to starting, the routine day, the dramatic day, the worst day etc. For the players joining the Olympic Winter Games in Torino, it must be the unforgettable day today. I will watch the live telecast of the opening ceremony at midnight in Japan.

block calendar

There is a block calender on the wall of my rest room in my house. What kind of the block calender is English vocabulary one. Every morning when I go to the rest room first of the day, I turn over to today's page. The calendar is the one of the TV English program of NHK, which was handled the basic 100 words. I think my weak point for English master is vocabulary. In other words, it can be done if I can reinforce my vocabulary, I'd like to believe that. Let's think about upper level after I strengthen my vocabulary like the level that I can read the newspaper at a natural speed.

sales rep

I haven't experienced the type of sales represntative job in my life. Of course, all people working at a company work to earn money, and they are in the sales more or less. However, the person like of me who don't have the experience of the sales rep and the person who has it is not the same when they tell something at the same situation. I think the sales rep wants the logical conclusion even though it is not the fact. It is difficult to explain the reason of the system trouble to the customer keeping the marketing strategy.

I can drive!

I will go to a university to install the new version of our system tomorrow. Also, the customer said that one of the PCs doesn't start, so I have to bring the alternative PC from our office by a renatl car. Ordinarily we bring something by my boss's car but tomorrow he will go bussiness trip and I can't rely on help from my boss and his car. That is the reason I rent a car. But I can't seem to drive a car tomorrow because my coleague is worried about my driving technic. I don't know why he think so even though he haven't seen my driving! I don't know why but men think women isn't good at driving on his own. I can't believe that! In fact, I haven't heard women's F1 driver but women can drive. I'm frustrating but I'll think I can have my own driver tomorrow.

Setsubun

In Japan, it is Setsubun today. We have the custom of throwing dry soybeans on setsubun day. When we throw it, we say in loud voice "Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi." As I translate literally, " Go away, ogre. Come on, happiness." Once a year, we hope our happiness by doing this custom. At the same time, we also have the costom of eating Eho-maki which is one of sushi wrapped laver. There are 7 ingredients in the eho-maki. It is said that you take bites out of a whole an eho-maki while you close your eyes and make a wish to fulfill your hopes. I ate a eho-maki making a wish. I wish happy this year.

hair cut

When I opened the door and said "Tadaima", Neko came on to me and said, "Okaeri". I found that Neko's hair was shorter than this morning. As I found his hair cut although Neko tied back his hair, Neko was surprised at that. I want to cut my hair, too, soon. I will try to change my hair style many times this year.

I have some rose and other greens on my desk now. I bought flowers after a while. I like bouquet. My best birthday present may be bouquet, I suppose. My mother also like flowers, and there are much flowers and greens in my parent's home. Flowers heals me, give a little smile to me. I wish the rosebud will bloom tomorrow.
