barbecue party with cherry blossom

I went to the barbecue party with my usual friends. Main purpose was seeing cherry blossom but we enjoyed barbecue inside the house till night because it was not fine today and cold outside. However we mustered up enough courage to go out and see full bloom of cherry blossoms with some wine bottles. I think that Japan is a safe contry. I don't know the country where you can drink outside at night except Japan. We walked along the Meguro river where a lot of cherry blossom was planted and was famous for the row of cherry blossom trees. It was too cold to stay there for a long time. We laughed away the coldness for a half hour seeing marvelous full bloom.

mammy of the restaurant

I had lunch at a noodle restaurant in akihabara today. I was taken to the restaurant by my colleague before, since then, I sometimes had lunch at the noodle restaurant, where was one of famous restaurant for Nagasaki tyanpon like there were several people waiting the noodle lunch everyday. When I waited the dish in the restaurant, some guys were coming in with lighted cigarette in their hand even though lunch time smoking was inhibited at the restaurant. The shop master told them in a resolute attitude but without being too rude to buy food tickets in advance and not to smoke inside the restaurant at lunch time just when they were coming in. This mother's attitude was super. Of cource, the dishes are so nice that many customers love the dishes. But this attitude and service to the customers must be the most important secret behind the longstanding popularity.

DVD review "The Constant Gardener "

I watched "The Constant Gardener" on DVD tonight. At first, I was surprised that the original title and the Japanese title was extremely different. This film is a little complicated just like this real world. In this film, the giant pharmaceutical compnay implemented the clinical trial to many African slummies. The company found that the medicine had got to be improved because some people died due to the medicine. But they tried to cover up the truth to earn tons of money all over the world with the medicine. It costs more money to improve it than to disguise the truth. People in the developped contry live on the ultimate sacrifices. All life must be the same weight on the earth. In fact, it is not the same. Lives in the slum are very cheap. They are just like mice for clinical trials. If I could know the concealment of the pharmaceutical giant, I would stand in which side.

movie review "PERFUME ~The story of a murderer"

I watched "Perfume ~The story of a murderer" tonight with my friend since she invited me seeing the movie with her discount tickets from her friend. I imagined that this movie would be a kind of maniac. I read the synopsis on the internet in advance. In short, the main character become a perfumer due to learn how to preserve beautiful women's scent. The extraordinary but sublime purpose made him a murderer to get scent of women. The stage was in the 18th centry France. At that time Paris was flooded with auful smells, in particular, the fish market in where he was born. He has a natural with sniffing everything out. At last, he stepped into the forbiddedn ground. He hoped that he keep the noble scent of beautiful woman with him forever. He continued to kill beautiful women until he got 12 bottles of their scent to compound the scent and make up the best and the only one perfume to make people feel full of love. He was arrested for the crime of murder, sentenced death penalty. At the day of his execution, he brought the perfume with him to the venue for public executions. The scent of the misterious perfume consisted of 12 women's scent made people there feel that he is an angel. He escaped there, and then went to his irth place, the fish market in Paris. He had never loved a real woman. It was a pity. I presumed that the directer wanted to express the feelings of the man with a gift, but I felt that the film was like a artificial expression of a scent rather than a psychological chracterization after seeing the film. In a way, it was the film that it had never been though it had been likely to be.

SAKURA

Yesterday the Meteorological Agency anounced that the first cherry blossom had opened in Tokyo. So I went to find the first cherry blossom in this year to SAKURASHINMACHI. There are a lot of place know as view point of cherry blossom in Japan because most Japanese like cherry blossom. Nearby my apartment, you can enjoy seeing gorgeous cherry blossom along the meguro river this season. Since I can see the cherry blossom near my apartment at anytime, I ventured up into Sakurashinmachi to find out the first cherry blossom. There is the row of cherry blossom trees along the Nomikawa river. It was too early to see blossom today, however I found out something new about cherry trees. I assured that I can't discover that if I would go to see cherry blossom in full bloom. That might be a very slight thing for someone who was not interested in the nature, but it was miracle to me. I found a few blossom on the trunk of the tree. Have you ever seen the blossom on the trunk? Cherry blossom is usually on the branch. It was the first time I could find the blossom on the trunk. However, the blossom on the trunk was not just one. As I walked along the pedestrian path, I could see many blossoms directly on the trunk. In addition, a lot blossoms on the trunk had opened even though the blossom on the branch had not opened. I got so excited that I could find out the feature of cherry blossom trees thanks to a premature cherry-blossom viewing.

have a quarrel

I had a quarrel with Neko yesterday. I hate to having a quarrel. Neko always tries to escape from such a harsh going, on the contrast, I don't think that the escape from the situation help things get better. Escape is just escape, not solution. We could not escape foever. I think I am an optimist. Neko seems to be a pessimist. Neko say it is difficult to think good way. We listened a CD, in which was recording Saito Hitori's message. The CD come with the book "Tsuiteru!" I rented from the library nearby my appartment. Mr. Saito says in the CD, you can do it if you listen this CD 100 times and implement what I say 100 times. I believe him. I abusolutely think he is right! So I am also going to continue to say to Neko, things will get better soon.

final tax return

I have straighten my teeth since 2 years. The treatment cost a pretty penny will be almost done soon. I went to the tax office to submint the tax return form of the medical bills for the third time in my life. The due date of return is March 15, so the tax office was crowded with many taxpayers. I felt as usual that it is so complex that it is difficut for the public people to make the form by yourself. The clerks at the tax office seemed to be busy to answer so many questions from them. I almost did it by myself due to my third events.

vocation

How many people feel that the job engaged on is the vocation in life? As for me, I haven't found the vocation in life. I have doubted about my job, especially since last week. Should I keep going because I have worked for now anyway and have got a career that spaned seceral years or changing the job because it had better to do what I really want to do without thinking my career or money, what should be done? This question has crowded my mind these days. While the demonstration given today, I also felt that I might not suit for this work. I need much time than others who major in math or science because I don't have the basic knowledge. If I worked the appropriate job for the appropriate company I might reach the high level while I have worked as a technical support which is out of my bailwick and reach the standard level. Is that useful for the development of humankind? Am I able to contribute to the world? It will take a long time before I find the answer.

hey fever

Today my hey fever is worse than ever. This year my symptom was getting better than ever. I could not live without medicine for hey fever until last year. But KW lactic bacteria improved my allergic constitution, I had believed until today. To be precise, I want to believe that my allergic constitution went away from my doby. It was optimistic though. It will probably be a long time before I fall asleep tonight due to hey fever. I have a runny nose.

mood dip and trivial pleasure

I went to a university of engineering to deliver our system. Our users are multiplicity of industry, which are universities of engineering and technology, the institutes of research, entertainment industry, manufacturing industry and so on. I had worked in the entertainment industry over 5 years ever, so I know the needs or questions in the entertainment industry. However I can't understand in the engineering and technology. I've never fail to feel blue when I go to our customer of engineering because I can't answer the specific question the customer asks. When I am asked the question I can't answer soon, I say to the customer, "I will answer it after I will ask it to the developer of this system." That is not desirable. I don't know myself why I work for this kind of job. I graduated from law faculty of a university. The job I work for now is out of relation to the specialty. Anyway, I emailed to the developer about this question. This question is difficult for me to understand, even more to explain in English. I honestly wrote to him if I can properly explain the question.
Next day, as I checked email I found the email from the developer. A little pleasure was in the email. He wrote that, "This is a very good question. I understand what you are asking." I was glad to read this even though this question is not my question. I just emailed. But this email encouraged me since I was depressed. I will keep working with skepticism if I am an adequate person for the job? For now, I will do my best.

many birthdays in March

Today March 6th is my sister's and my friend's birthday. I have some relatives and some friends whose birthday are March. In Japan, new term starts in April 1st. When I was a child I hoped that my birthday would be March because I would be the youngest of my same grade friends if my birthday would be March. Now that I passed 30's I don't mind my birthday month at all. I am increasingly concerned if I can take my years well. I want to be young as long as I can but everyone ages. If I age at all, I want to take my years charmingly, prettily. I don't mind the smile-wrinkles around my eyes, however I never made the wrinkles between my eyebrows. I sometimes see the old lady with scowling face while strolling around. I imagine she have had many troubles in her life. To the contrary, when I see the lady who has a very cute smile on her face, I am given happy feelings. I think everyone feel that way. Smile transmits one after another. I hope globe will be coverd with everyone's smiles, including mine.

Book review "Tsuiteru!"

I read a book. The title is "Tsuiteru!", the meaning is "You are in luck." in English. He is the man who have ever paid tax the most, also the company founder of GINZA MARUKAN, as well as the most positive thinking person in Japan. His book is literally very interesting and a fun. I laughed many times while I was reading the book. After finishing reading the book, I really felt that I was in luck. I decided to have a habit of saying "I'm in luck."

The 100th aniversary of Setagawa Line

I went to the 100th aniversary of Setagaya Line held at the carrot tower in Sangentyaya. Many railway fans visited the event to see the good old photos, the old ticket, the part of the old train body displayed at the site. I was interested in the scene that some people took pictures of the old pictures. Taking pictures of pictures was a news for me. The most crowded site was where the old town along the Setagaya Line was reproduce with miniature parts. The children interested in the miniature world had asked the attendant how the miniature world was made or where they were able to get the miniaiture materials. I am not a miniature fan nor railway fan, neither I don't know the old good town along the railway. However it was a fun to see the mini trains running in the miniature world.

DVD review "TRANSPORTER2"

I saw "TRANSPORTER2" tonight. Of course I have seen "TRANSPORTER", which is a cool film with a sense of speed. As for the second work, I expected it would be so exciting movie as well as the first one. As I expected TRANSPORTER2 was fascinating to me. The time went so quickly since I was enchanted by the attractive plot and the fast-paced direction. I like Luc Besson's film. I didn't know well Jason Statham starred as a main character, a professional driver. I memorized him but I couldn't recollect the title of the film. I found that he was a diver as I look at the web site of TRANSPORTER2. I understood that his body was built up and nice-looking. Also he has sexy husky voice. I'm looking forward to seeing the third film. I suppose it must be made the sequel because the transporter has had a phone call of work in the ending.

accumulation of posts

I went over my posts I have posted so far. I found that recently the sentence got longer but posts with photo lesser than ever. Also I had frequently posted DVD review before but I posted DVD review only twice this year. On the whole, I am proud of this blog because it lasts for now although there is a term that the post was only once in a month. My vocabulary seems to increase and I got some comment from someone I don't know. In that way, my purpose that I want to communicate with as many people as possible came true. I am surprised that I have kept posting to this blog for more than a year! I am satisfied with my effort since June 2005. The more I post, the more I feel sorry about quitting this. The same goes for a life. The longer you live, the more you cherish your body. This is my longstanding idea. Therefore, the younger people can't understand the importance of their life, the middle-aged got to be interested in their health. On the other hand, when you become old, over 60 years old, you have to care you out of necessity. Long period of time means so much to you in a lot of ways.

hot temper and seriousness

There are a lot of things that it is difficult to figure out correctly. One of them is the defference between hot temper and seriousness. This might not be the right word for it. I often consider someone's action is serious or just hot temper. The latest example occured when I visit to my friend's house to Mito. Her son said to his mother, "Mommy, I want to eat a soft serve ice cream." Mamma said, "Let's have it when we go to the aquarium right after this." Her son nodded. Next, when we got to the aquarium, her son said again, "I want to eat a soft serve ice cream." But her mother said, "You should eat it after you enjoy the Dolphine show because the last show of the day will start right now." He got it. Then we went to the shop to have a long-awaited soft serve but the shop had already closed. Since then, he screamed for a soft serve and kept crying for a while. My friend tried to persuade him to give up a soft serve somehow but he won't hear her. I can't help admireing his persistence. Is this just hot temper or his serious action to express his claim to her mother? This example was the one regarding child, so you may say that it was just his hot temper. However, if this is the adult's case, he probably persuade someone to get something in gentler approach with patience. Maybe he tried it many times even though that annoys other person. In that case, which is the case?
