Too nervous.

Today, I had the interview exam for the graduate school.
So I was really nervous.(><)
The conclusion will be revealed on September 14th.
I want to know it soon.


In Japan, the Democratic party was thrown into disorder because of the party leadership election.
I can't understand why the candidates who belong to the same party have to be opposed to each other even though there are many problems they have to solve together.

The problem which has gotten the most attention recently is the inordinate appreciation of the yen.
There are various opinions about it.

On the minus side, the items made from Japan will be unsalable.
Because the items made from Japan will be more expensive in other countries, due to this shift.

On the plus side, Japanese can buy the items made from other countries at a more low price.
The items include the campanies.
It is the chance for Japanese taking over other countries' companies.


Anyway, I think it is dangerous to leave this situation because of the export business's crisis.
I think it will plunge the industries into crisis too.
So I hope the government will take some countermeasures without concentrating only to the election.

Too hot.

It was too humid and too hot.
I can't believe it's the end of August already.(><)
Hokkaido, which is the summer retreat of Japan, is hot too.
I can't believe it too.(><)

It is, as you know, the king of the animals, a lion.
It looks so powerful, doesn't it?
To be honest, I could take this picture thanks to the function of my camera.
Because there were too many people taking a closer look at a lion near it to take it from nearby.
So I took it from a distance.

And it is swimming penguins.
In the Asahiyama zoo, we can watch them from a glass-paneled pathway which is in the inside of water they swim in.
So we can watch them in a natural state.

This is the specialty of the Asahiyama zoo.
Seals swim through this glass-paneled poll and we can watch them from the outside of it.

The feature of Asahiyama zoo is that we can watch the animals in a more natural state.

I encourage you to go to Hokkaido once at least!(^^)

Long time no update.

I've finally finished the exam.
After this, I've gone home to see my parents and come back to my house in Tokyo the day before yesterday.

My home is in Hokkaido, and there are many beautiful landscapes.
So I traveled in Hokkaido with my girlfriend after I went to see my parents.

Furano city in Hokkaido is well known for its beautiful landscapes.

I took this picture at the Senbo mountain pass.
It looks so beautiful, isn't it?

And it was taken at the Hill of Shikisai.
Furano city is well known for the beautiful lavender farm too.
But when we went to Furano city, lavenders there have been already died.
So almost all of flower gardens in Furano city have already finished their best time.
But it so happens that it was other flower's best time in the Hill of Shikisai when we went there.
We were so lucky.

And it was taken at the Hill of Shinei.
As soon as we left there, it began to rain.
We were really lucky!(^^)


Next time I'll show pictures which I took at the Asahiyama zoo.

How difficult!

The test has finished yesterday.
It was I think the most difficult one of the last 7 years.
I'm really worried because I don't know how good others did.

I'm really nervous.

The time has come.

Finally, I have the exam tomorrow.
I will do my best.
I have to go to bed earlier than usual.(^^)

It is difficult.

Now, I'm watching a TV show having a feature of the Japanese young actor.
She is as old as me.
This made me think about my life.
I'm just a student who can't still get paid、though the man who is as old as me usually gets paid.

I don't know if my choice is correct.
I wonder which way is the best for me.



I was really surprised at this system.
Do you know it?
It protects a house from the earth quakes by floating the house.
How amazing!
It is caused by the air pressure.
It definitely saves many people who live in the place where the earth quake often happens such as Japan!

This isn't my business.

Today, I studied in an usual cafe which is pretty cool wearing a sweater with an usual partner.
He is very smart.
So sometimes I ask him some questions and usually he answers quickly.
But today, I asked a too difficult question for him to answer easily.
So he said to me, "It's not my business."
He was cool.
He is Japanese. But he said it naturally.
I have to bring many phrases like it in me.(^^)


Do you know the Skype me?
It is the function of the Skype.
He advised me to use it to speak in English with the natives.
This function tells you the man who is bored and wants to talk whoever wants.
It means you can find the man to talk in English.

But it is pretty hard for me.
I wonder my talking skill is good enough to talk with the natives.

I'll try to use it after the exam is finished.

The Spaceman.

These days, the space is popular in Japan.
It means that many Japanese are interested in Japan.
It is because many things related with the space, such as the Hayabusa which has come back to the earth and Mr.Nogushi who has come back to the Earth, appeared in this year.

Now I'm watching a TV show which features the space.
It says that if human can have a baby in the space shuttle, the baby is very the spaceman.
It is really right.
And it is exactly the evolution as the living things has come to the ground.
I wonder when the spaceman who is from the earth appears.

When I watched the TV program which made a feature that the number of the younger who preferred the sea was decreased, I felt bad because I thought it is nonsense.
But I was too stupid.
Because this change which apparently nonsense appreciably effects on the market related with it and even the market which isn't seemingly related with it.
I forgot the saying, "The change makes the chance."
I have to do introspection on it.

Too cool.

It has been cooler lately.
It seems that the typhoon coming near to Japan affects it.

Despite this, cafes kept an air conditioner in the same way as other hotter days.
So it was too cool in a cafe which I studied today.

My university has closed for this week as the summer vocation.
This university's vocation comes in the saving its electric bill.
Because of it, I can't use my lab or my university's library.

So I used this cooler cafe with my sweater.
I never imagined that I would wear the sweater in this hotter summer.(><)

I have to concern about avoiding cold.


I've found the interesting article.
According to it, you need only 20 moves to solve the Rubik's Cube!

How nice!

This is the original of the song which I introduced yesterday.
It is good too, isn't it?


By the way, the Full House, which is My favorite drama, really attracts me.
Joey, who is a character of it, is funny guy.
But he sometimes says what really touches me.

Today, I heard from him, "No one ever knows."
This phrase meant that no one knows which way he should select.
I'm worrying which lab I should select.
I've gradually made my mind.
I got an appointment to see directly the lab which I wanted to belong to.
And after this, I have to make a decision which lab I belong to.
I don't know how this decision will effect on my career and how much it will.
So I and my friends said what we think to each other, and argued with each other.
But finally, I will have to make a decision by myself.

The phrase, which is "No one ever knows", encouraged me.

He is really good guy!(^^)

How great!

Do you know this song?
It is used for the theme song of the "Spirited Away", which is called "Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi" in Japan.
This song is actually a Japanese song.
But I've found the English version.
I love this version too.

To be honest, I thought this movie wasn't funny very much.
Because I couldn't find the theme which really impressed me or moved me.
And there were some people who felt in the same way.

On the other hand, this movie was very poplar abroad.
It seems that the many scenes of it which shows beautiful Japanese views attracted the foreign people.
It's true that this movie shows such scenes.
And they attract Japanese too.

If you haven't watched it yet, you should do!

No fireworks.

I think I can't go watching any fire works in this summer.
I have the entrance exam on August 17th, and I will go back to the Hokkaido, in which my home town is, from after the entrance exam ends to the last day of August.
The days which the fire works are held on are concentrated on August.
So it is hardly that the fire works are held after August.
Because it is cooler after August.

I can't think of the fire works without thinking of holding a place and crowd.
We can have a good time only when the fire works are just being held.
Before then and after then are just like survival.
We have to make strategic plans to get the good watching place before the fire work is held and escape from the crowd after it ends.

I love Gyudon!

These days, I eat a gyudon at the Matsuya.
Do you know the Matsuya?
The Matsuya is one of the most favorite gyudon chain restaurants.
The sales point of it is speed and convenience.
So I utilize it when I'm busy.

Other ones of the most favorite gyudon chain restaurants are the Yoshinoya and the Sukiya.
Their names are just like Japanese style, aren't they?
There is the order between them.

The most favorite one is the Sukiya.
The Sukiya is like a family restaurant so much that young ladies and girls can eat a gyudon at it.
Families can utilize it casually too.
And it has various original menus.
They are the reasons why it is so popular.

The second one is the Matsuya.
It sells gyudons in the lowest price of the three.
This gets the Matsuya so popular.

And these two are in a close match.

The Yoshinoya ,which is the oldest gyudon chain restaurant in Japan, is left pretty away.
The Yoshinoya is also as convenience as other two.
But it has no other features which make difference between it and other ones.

The Yoshinoya's gyudon is more good than other's I think, but it's not good enough to make people cost more than other's.


I think the Yoshinoya has to make strong features which other two don't have.

Actors are so great!

Now, I'm watching the Japanese movie, named Tsurugidake, on TV.
In it, Mr.Teruyuki Kagawa performs a part of a nice person who we should respect.

But some days ago, I watched him performing a part of an odd person.
He is great because he can perform any parts of from an odd person to a great person.
And because when he performs, he looks nobody but the person he acts exactly.
Of course, I think you can't believe that he acted an odd person, when he acts a great person, and so is the opposite.

He is so cool.(^^)

Things happens for a reason.

Yesterday, I had finished watching Season 1 of Full House at last.
I've watched only one disk of it again and again in a week to increase my English skill.
And of course, to pleasure.
And I have finally finished watching a whole of Season 1.

So I watched a first disk of Season2 today.
There was something changed from a former Season.
First, the opening movie was changed a little.

And they grew a little .
Steph entered a elementary school, Micheal could talk a little, and Jesee cut his regent.
And some new characters appeared.
I really love it!(^^)

And I heard a good phrase in it.
Today's title is it.

I think it is a positive.
This phrase helps us overcoming some difficulties.

Japanese songs.

This video shows Japanese favorite songs.
And it shows songs along time.
So you can know how the Japanese trend had changed until the year 2003.
And you can know who made a new wave, though some of them were helped by advertisement very much.
Only it is pretty bad that this video shows songs which appeared until 2003, which is 7 years ago.

Individually, it brings back memories very much.

Japanese mystery.

These days, TV news tell a same news which is about Japanese mystery.
The detail of it is that some Japanese old people who are registered as they live have actually dead for a few years.
The reason why a problem like it happened is that anybody, even their relatives, didn't realize what had happened to the old people.

There are various reasons why they couldn't realize it.
But many of them are apparently because the old parson and his or her relatives drifted apart.

The administration seems to feel to be responsible for this problem and they try to solve it by changing its systems.

But I think it was caused by their relatives.
The relatives, at least their sons or grandchildren, is responsible for their parents or grandparents.
I think this is natural because their sons and grandchildren were cared by them very much and they should return by taking care of their parents or grandparents.

Connection between relatives in Japan has been apart.
I think it is a heavy problem and we Japanese have to think it over much.
And we have to change such a bad thinking on relation between our parents and us.

I was surprised.

Today, I was surprised at a difference between Japan and countries whose nations speak English.

I learned a word "connive".
It has two means.
One is pretending not to watch any crimes.
Another is helping someone to do crime.

In Japan, adults tell children that these two things are same, and actually they are considered to be almost same.
But in English, They are contained in a same word, and they are completely same.

It seems that they are treated as same in English.

How noisy.

Today, I studied in my university's library.

And there were girls who whispered to each other as they talked.
When you study in a library, don't you feel other's whispers noisy?

I felt their whispers too noisy.(><)
It was hard for me to be patient with it.

Anyway, as long as the exam ends, I don't need to think of such a small matter.
It is not good to have less reserves in a mind.

Why?

Now, I'm really in trouble with setting mailing system in my PC.

It didn't work no matter how I did.
I gotta do this many times until it work.
Uhhh.


Today, I was persuaded to study abroad by a classmate who is a graduate student.
According to him, I can learn from grater persons in foreign universities than that of Japan.
And there are many students who have various opinions and senses of values.
So they must have good effect on me.

I will think it over.
Because I've thought about it since before, and actually I've wanted to do it.
And if I hope to do it, I have to increase my English skill much more.

I will get it!

What you really want to do.

In a commercial on TV, I was impressed with a line.

The line was "Everyone tells with one's own way, so why don't you do what you want."

I thought that I've worried too much about what other said to me.
When I do what I really want, I have to overcome other's criticism.

It may be common knowledge, but I recognized again.
