Today is new year's eve and this is the 201st post on my web log. In new year's eve, we eat 年越し蕎麦(toshikoshi noodle). This is one of customs in Japan. Toshikoshi noodle has some meanings. Noodles are long, then if we eat noodle until new year come, we can live long. Another one is that. Noodles are easy to cut, then if we eat noodle until new year come, last year's bad things would not keep in next year.

They must be eaten until the 1st January. Also, we have a lot of customs. For example, the bells on new year's eve. Ring bells 108 times. It is originated from Buddhism 108 times are from earthly desires. Ring 107 times in this year and ring last one time in next year. If we hear or ring the bells on new year's eve, we will be released from 108 earthly desires. I don't know exactly about this. But this is also one of customs in Japan.

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

200








This is the 200th post. I began to post my web log at 11th May, 2006. First two years, I posted once a week or less. But I posted every weekday since August, 2008. I took about 2 years to post 100 posts but now it took only a few months... I started this web log to improve my English. There are many ways to improve my English but I chose this one first. Of course, I’m doing other things to improve my English. I don’t know how my English improved in this 2.5 years. How do you think? I think, it is not enough...

BTW, now we are in the end of 2008. The day after tomorrow is 2009! Many shops and companies are changing their decorations into new year edition. But I think, there were some mistakes. For example, the pachinko parlor near my house shows us like “Happy new year! I hope you will come to our parlor like last year.”. I think, it is too early. I found that display on Saturday...

Anyway, thank you for your reading. I hope you will come to my web log again.

Thank you.
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Cleaning up














There are only 3 days until 2009. (including today) In Japan many people clean up their house in this season. We call it “大掃除(osoji)”. I did it today. Now, my room is clean. lol

Anyway, I posted about concert last Friday. Until I went there, I thought that the concert is like concert. I mean, group sing one song and some one introduce the song after the group song. Song and other song is separated. But it was different. The concert was like a musical. They were singing and dancing. I think, it was good.

BTW, this is the 199th post. Tomorrow, I will post 200th post. Thank you for your reading!

Thank you.

Thank you.

dubai

I found the news that is about "Dubai". Many buildings are in construction. There is the highest building in the world. I think, Dubai is like a dream land. But I've never go there...

On the other hand, many people says economic crisis are covering all over the world. Dubai is not isolated example. Many buildings are stopping construction. I don't know when these building will be completed. But I wanna go there some time. Don't you think so?

Anyway, today's morning paper's total number of page was 36 pages...

Merry Xmas!

Newspaper

Every morning, I read morning paper. I felt these newspaper’s total number of pages were not so different. But today I felt difference when I took today’s one. Today’s morning paper was thinner than usual one. Then I checked the total number of pages. I checked Sunday’s, Monday’s, Tuesday’s and today’s one. Sunday was 38 pages. Monday was 30 pages. Tuesday (national holiday) was 34 pages. Monday’s was thinner than other two days’ one but I didn’t think Monday’s one was thinner than usual...

But I felt like that today. Today’s morning papers’ total number of pages was 28. I’ve never thought there are big difference in total number of pages. I think, this is depends on the number of news. I might check total number of pages on tomorrow’s morning paper.

Merry Xmas!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Wind

Yesterday, I watched the final game of the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2008 on TV. I also watched match for third place on TV. I cheered for Manchester United (England) and Gamba Osaka (Japan). Manchester United became the winner of the FIFA Club World Cup Japan 2008. And Gamba became the 3rd place. They did really nice game.

But I felt wind was so strong during the final game (Manchester United vs Liga Deportiva Universitaria Quito). Some plastic bags rolled cross the ground... Yesterday’s game held in International Stadium Yokohama (Nissan stadium).

When I was watching the game I didn’t feel that wind is strong around my house. The wind was getting strong after a few hours. I felt wind was so strong when I went to bed.

In the morning, the weather changed dynamically... It was hot. In fact, today’s highest temperature was over 20 degrees C. We are in end of December then this temperature was unnaturally high. But weather forecast said tomorrow’s highest temperature will be 10 degrees C. I mean usual temperature in end of December... It will be cold tomorrow...

Thank you.

Feel the energy from the great art











Do you have any chance to watch art in your daily life? In Tokyo, there are many places that we can watch art. Look at the photo on the top. This is the photo that I took in Shibuya station. I took this photo in the morning then many people were crossing in front of the great picture.

This picture is one of the greatest pictures of Taro Okamoto. He drew it in 1968 to 1969. "The Myth of Tomorrow" is the title of this picture.

Not only in Shibuya station. We can watch statues in Tachikawa station. And there are many places that we can watch arts in our daily life. On the other hand, there are many museums in Tokyo. These days, Art Triangle Roppongi is the most famous museum area in Tokyo, I think. There are 3 museums Mori Art Museum, Suntory Museum of Art and The National Art Center, Tokyo. I've never been there but I wanna go there. Do you like art?

Thank you.

Window on MacBook











These days, I had a big problem on my MacBook. I'm using Windows XP on MacBook with boot camp. Mostly I'm using Mac on my MacBook. But sometimes I need to use Windows XP then I installed Windows XP with boot camp. 

On Windows we need to update the software sometimes. At that time Microsoft was offering update to SP3 then I started update. After I updated Windows XP to SP3, I couldn't use DVD drive on Windows XP. Then I removed SP3 and down grade to SP2 that why my friend told me.

But I couldn't use DVD drive on Windows XP... I can use DVD drive on Mac. Then there are no problem on DVD drive. I didn't know how to fix it then I refused to fix it by myself. I reserved genius bar and I went to Apple Store Shibuya today. Staff tried to fix it but it took about an hour... But he did it! Now I can use DVD drive on Windows XP too. Thank you.

Thank you.

Karamazov











Do you know "the Brothers Karamazov"? It is famous Russian novel. It written by Fyodor Mikhaylovich Dostoyevsky. This is really long story but I like this novel. I finished reading this novel yesterday. I felt this is one of the most interesting novel that I've read.

I started reading this novel in mid of September. I took about 3 months to read all... This is difficult novel but it is really nice. If you have never read, you must read it! If you don't, you are going to be sorry.

Thank you.

Japanese dislikes google?















August 2008, Google released their service "street view" in Japan too. But after the release, many people visited the site and use it. Also many people complained like "they are ignoring our portrait right". I think so too. But I think "street view" is amazing software. Now we can use it on iPhone and other mobile phones.

But google is not top share search engine in Japan. Yahoo! Japan is the top share search engine in Japan. Yahoo! Japan is the most popular portal site in Japan.

Over 60% of web mail users are using Yahoo! mail not Gmail. I'm using Gmail but its share was only 6%. No.2 is hotmail... Does Japanese dislike using google?

Thank you.

Starbucks discoveries again















Yesterday I found new Starbucks discoveries' drink at the convenience store. That was St. Moritz.

I think the can version of its series was not good. But this series are very nice. I love this. LOL

Of course, Starbucks(real store) is better than these series. And I can take comfortable time at the store, if I go to the real store of Starbucks. I like spending time at the Starbucks store. Because the store is fulfilled with really nice coffee smells and there are good music. I like reading book and drink some coffee at the store. How about you? Do you like to drink coffee at Starbucks or other coffee stores?

Thank you.

The Kanji of the year















Nihon Kanji Noryoku Kentei Kyokai released the Kanji of the year today. This year's kanji was 変(hen). It means "change" or "strange". But I think "change" is better.

Many things changed in this year. For example, financial crisis, the president of the United States will change, prime minister of Japan changed, global warming, change in consciousness on foods and etc... Also, Obama used "change" many times on his speech... 

But also we need to change maybe... 

Thank you.

Hot winter?

These days, I feel it is not so cold... You know, Japan is in winter. Winter is cold of course. But yesterday's highest temperature was 18 degrees. And today was 18.8 degrees. Weather reporter said these are the average highest temperature on November...

Is this one of the effects of global warming? Or not?

Anyway, these warm winter is really nice, I think. It is very comfortable for me to live... lol But I heard very unfortunately forecast on TV now... Tomorrow's highest temperature will not like today... Weather forecast said tomorrow's highest temperature will be 14 degrees... It is cold than today... But it is the usual temperature. I will be patient.

Thank you.

The Quarter Pounder











(image from: McDonald's)


On 28th November, we can eat quarter pounder in most of McDonald's stores in Shutoken (Around Tokyo). I saw commercial messages on TV many times... 

There are many stores but I've never been there since that day. Today, I went there. But the store didn't have quarter pounder...

Then I ordered chicken filet-o. Then I heard my friend who is working for McDonald's as part time. He told me that the quarter pounder is not selling in all stores. Then he told me the nearest store that is selling the quarter pounder. I hope I will go there and buy it. lol

Futsal















Today, I played futsal with my friend during the lunch time. I didn't do the sports for a long time. Then it was really hard to run seriously. I got tired when I play futsal first ten minutes...

I played four games (forty minutes). When the last game end, I need to go. Then I stopped playing and go to the other place. But I heard that most of my friends were keep playing futsal...

I think, sports are nice and I like it. And it is good for our health. But I need training or daily exercise... lol

If I can, I wanna play squash tennis. But there are no place where I can play squash tennis near my house. Do you like playing sports?

Thank you.

Does the Mac need antivirus software?












Last week, some media released the news about Apple's web site. That was about the Apple released the antivirus software information and they erased after some media announced.

I'm using MacBook and of course I'm using Mac. I can use windows if I use bootcamp and I've already installed windows on my MacBook. But it is very rare to me to use windows on my MacBook.

Anyway, I've installed Norton on Mac & Windows. So, I'm ok if the apple would release such information. But I don't think these software are necessary for my MacBook.

Hard day...

How dangerous of a driver are you?

Created by The Car Connection

Today, I had a mid-term examination of Chinese language. Then yesterday, I studied for that examination until 3.30 a.m...

I woke up at 7.00 the examination would start at 9.00. I think, it’s ok. And this is too early to go to college. But next time the clock showed me 8.30... Yes, I slept after I woke up...

I felt pressed... I went to college as soon as possible. I arrived to college at 8.50. I was on time! I could take the examination.

But Chinese language is difficult for me like I wrote before. I could fill out all sections on my answer sheet. I think, I made a lot of mistakes... But it’s done so it’s ok! lol

Anyway, I found interesting web site. You can check your driving level. I checked by myself. The result was A. They said my driving level is very safe! My score is on top. Also check your driving level from
here!

Thank you.

Orange sauce




Today, I found funny drink at convenience store again. That is orange juice. But juice was bottled in soy sauce’s bottle. And color of orange juice was black!!

But it was orange juice. Most of soy sauce were bottled in same sort of bottles. Of course, sauce’s color is black...

I wrote “Orange sauce” but it says “なんちゃってオレンジ(Nanchatte orange)” and it has warning “This is not soy sauce!” on the bottom. Also, “you must not drink real soy sauce like this juice”.

I don’t go to convenience stores so many times. But some times I do. Then I will find some funny things like
Marimokkori drink and etc...

Thank you.

Ultra realistic paper craft





Today I will tell you about great paper crafts. My friend told me this web site. We can download motorbikes free on YAMAHA’s web page. We can’t ride these motorbikes, but we can make these! Because these are made from paper.

There are several paper craft motorbikes on YAMAHA’s web page. There are also some paper crafts that are not motorbike like birds, portable shrines and etc... I downloaded one of them. Maybe it will take much time to make it. I will make it as soon as possible but I might not be able to make it until the 2009 will come. But I will try it.

P.S. I analyzed November’s visitor’s report. During 1, November to 30, November, 115 people accessed to my weblog and viewed 151 pages. Visitors came from 15 countries/territories and over 50% of visitors came via google search. I will report you December’s visitor’s report on January. Anyway, thank you for your visiting!

New words, buzzwords

Yesterday, Jiyukokuminsha announced the winners of the 2008 buzzwords of the year contest. This is annual contest and awards buzzwords of the year. The winners of the 2008 buzzwords were "グー(goo)" by Harumi EDO, "アラフォー(Around forty)" by Yuki AMAMI, "上野の413球(Ueno's 413 of pitching)" by Yukiko UENO, "あなたとは違うんです(I'm different from you)" by Yasuo FUKUDA, "後期高齢者(Old old)" by Hideya YAMAZAKI, "居酒屋タクシー(Drink spot taxi)" by Akira NAGATSUMA, "名ばかり管理職(Managers who can't get enough treatments by company)" by Hiroshi TAKANO, "蟹工船(Kanikosen)" by Hitomi HASEGAWA, "霞ヶ関埋蔵金(Buried treasure in Kasumigaseki)" by Hidenao NAKAGAWA and "ゲリラ豪雨(Guerrilla storm)" by Weathernews. These are top 10 buzzwords of the year.

I think, some of them are not buzzwords. I've used some of them but I've never use most of these words. It is different from the real meaning of the buzzwords of the year... 

And be careful, there are a lot of miss translated words.

Thank you.

Giant pudding




















I found the giant pudding in my college’s co-op store. Many days have passed since that time. Finally, I bought it last Friday. This giant pudding was really big, you can check it by my photo. Co-op store’s clerk gave me a dish for this giant pudding. Then I put this giant pudding on the dish. LOL

But first, I didn’t think I would buy this one. Because it was so big that I can’t eat all. I like pudding but I don’t love it. In fact, I don’t buy usual size of pudding even once in a month. I think, it’s once in a half of year. Many people might agree with my opinion..

Anyway, I needed about 2 hours to eat all of this. Of course, I needed to do something then I didn’t use all 2 hours.

Thank you.

Clones in the town














Yesterday, I saw the "Clone" in the station that I often use. I'm not writing about "Dolly"... I'm writing about the "Clone" that is one of the characters of "Star wars". Maybe many people know this...

If you saw the "Clone" in your town, what do you think? 

I was talking with my friend on my iPhone, then I saw that. I was surprised about that. Then I stopped talking and I took a photo. The photo on the top is the photo that I took at that time.

He was passing out something. I don't know what he was passing out.. Because I didn't take that... Usually, I don't like to take these things like pocket tissues. I don't like these things...

Anyway, I don't know much about "Star Wars" then "Clone" may not "Clone". It was maybe "Stormtrooper"... But I don't know... If you know much about "Star Wars", tell me about it.

Thank you.

I bought a dream












Yesterday was the day that "Year-End Jumbo" lottery tickets started to sell. We can buy "Year-End Jumbo" lottery tickets until 19th December. Many people went to shops to buy it. I think, they bought a lot of tickets... But today I bought only one ticket. You can check it photo on the top. This is the ticket that I bought today. If I win on the lottery, I can get 200 million yen!! (About $2 million) Of course, I can't win on the lottery.

I think, to win on these kinds of lotteries are very rare. So, I can't win...

But I bought it because it is 300 yen. Not so expensive to buy a big dream... LOL

Red & White












Today NHK announced lineup of singers who will appear on their annual year-end grand song festival. The red and white singing contest is one of the most famous TV programs in Japan, I think. NHK broadcast every new year’s eve. In this year, it will be 59th.

This program is contest then visitors and viewers will decide the winner every time. Red or White. Male singers will sing as member of White team. Female singers will sing as member of Red team. Many Japanese watch this program so, audience share was really high. But these years, it is not true. These years, its audience share were around 40%. I think, this rate is high, but its audience share is getting down.

I don’t watch this program. But I feel new year is coming when I hear the news like this. You can check this year’s lineup on “

Today, iPhone's new firm ware iPhone 2.2 released. I updated to it just before. In this update, I can use Emoji and Street view of google. I know that they will release new software that we can use Emoji on iPhone. Because about a few weeks before, SoftBank's CEO said like "we can use Emoji on iPhone in this year". And now, I can send it and read it on my iPhone.

I've never tried but according to the announcement Safari works better than before. If it is true, I'm very happy! Maybe I will update my weblog from my iPhone...

Anyway, I couldn't update my weblog yesterday... My condition was very bad yesterday... Then I went to bed around 22.30... Sorry..

Non-smoking







These days, I frequently found this advertisements on newspaper. I'm not smoker and I think smoking is not good. Then I'm agreeing with the plan of increase the tax on cigarettes. But some people such like cigarettes company "JT" or people who love to smoke are disagreeing with this plan. This advertisement is produced by people like these.

I feel cigarettes that selling in Japan are too cheap. We can buy it under 300 yen! If the tax increased, it is good opportunity for smokers who want to stop smoking, I think.

Anyway, this advertisements made me frustrating. I hope they will stop their activities like this.

When I watch this commercial message, I couldn't understand what is the biggest difference with other gums. But I was very interested in this new type of gum. But I didn't have a chance to buy this gum. I couldn't find this gum when I bought Marimokkori drink. LOL

But I found this gum these days. I think, this gum has a very unique holder but gum is not so different from others. I like this design and idea of pocket for paper.

Sleeping on the sofa

Today, I had nap on the sofa. It was about 15 minutes. After I woke up, I went to college. But this made my condition very bad...

It is not good to sleep or have nap on the sofa. I’ve got a sore neck... Also, I have a backache... But now, I’m OK. These were temporary symptoms...

I think, we should not sleep or nap on the sofa. For our condition.

Change

I’m very night person. I always sleep about 2 a.m or later. And I can’t wake up early. But I think morning person is better than night person. Some professors says “the morning is the best time to study, work, think and do something”. I think so too. Do something in the morning is very efficient for all of us. And I think, most of successful persons are morning persons. So, I wanna change my style!

Then, how to be morning person? I think, the most simple way to wake up early in the morning is sleep in the early time. For example, if I could go to bed around 12, I could wake up 2 hours early than usual. I believe so...

Anyway, if I could be morning person, I can read books and drink a cup of coffee in the morning. Of course, there are more things that I can do in the morning. I wanna update my weblog in the morning. I wanna read books in the morning. I wanna drink a cup of coffee. I wanna...

I think, this is the best season to change. The President of the United States will change soon. Obama use a lot of “Change”s in his speech. Then I need to change!
Yes, I can! LOL

Amazing new clock














The clock that I’m going to introduce you today is really amazing clock. We don’t need any battery to use this clock. All you need to work this clock is water. But we need to change water once every week. I don’t know exactly about this clock but I think, it is like a hydrogen battery.

This clock is not for sale. But you can get it if you have an account of JA bank. Of course, it’s free! Unfortunately, I don’t have an account of JA bank and I don’t think that I will have the one soon. Then I can’t get it...

Anyway, I have many clocks in my room like HDD clock that I posted before. So, I don’t need this one. And maybe it is difficult for me to keep this clock. I will forget to change water.

Thank you.

My favorite web page






“iKnow”
is one of my favorite web page. On “iKnow” I can study English and test my English ability. There are many ways to study English on iKnow. There are “iKnow mode”, “dictation mode” and “Speed-brain mode”. And we can choose courses from various levels of courses. Now, I’m taking 3 courses and I’m trying to do these almost everyday.

I think, there are many web pages that we can study English or other languages. But some web pages need to pay for it. “iKnow” is different. We don’t have to pay for it. All thing that we need is computer that can access to the internet. That means iKnow is free! I love free. LOL

Now I’m trying courses that levels are middle to advanced range. If I can, I wanna try to upper levels ones. And I will take over 700 point on TOEIC next time!! Maybe I can do it!

One more thing.
On iKnow, you can study Japanese! I think, it is big news for people who are studying Japanese. If you are studying Japanse, try this web page. All free.

"iKnow" web page: "http://www.iknow.co.jp/"

Finally

After 7 games of deadly combat, Lions became Japan’s champion of the year. There are two baseball leagues in Japan. Then we need games to decide the champion of Japan we call it “Nippon Series”. It’s like the World Series. This year’s Nippon series’ finalists were Yomiuri Giants and Saitama Seibu Lions. Yomiuri Giants is the winner of central league of NPB. And Saitama Seibu Lions is the winner of pacific league. Saitama Seibu Lions won 4 games in all 7 games.

On Saturday, I didn’t think Lions will win. Because Giants won 3 games in 5 games. And if Giant won Saturday’s game, they were winner of Nippon series. But they did it! Lions won leftover two game and became champion of Japanese baseball league.

Usually, I don’t watch baseball games of Japanese league on TV. Because most of my favorite baseball players (like Daisuke MATSUZAKA, Kazuo MATSUI and ICHIRO) are now playing in MLB. And one of the Japanese baseball team gathered famous baseball player in Japan and they made Japanese leagues boring.

But I like baseball, then I watch games sometimes. Of course, I watch MLB games sometimes... How about you? Which team or player is your favorite?

Thank you.

Cooking!!

Today, I found interesting article on newspaper. That article says like this. "The Internet research company 'Macromill' released their result of questionnaires. That is over 80% of Japanese male cook sometimes." I'm one of the 80% of Japanese males. And over 50% of these people cooks every week. They are cooking to reduce their cost of living.

I don't cook so much. Maybe I cook every 2 weeks... 
And it is difficult for me to cook every week. I have many things to do... LOL

Anyway, I feel better than yesterday. Maybe my condition will be good on Monday.

Screen shot














W
hen I checked my iPhone's camera roll on photo album, I found screen shot of my iphone. But I didn't know how to take screen shot of my iPhone. Then I googled how to took iPhone's screen shot. "Home" + "Sleep" That is the way to take screen shot on your iPhone.

But I've never do such command on my iPhone... Photo on the top is my commemorative screen shot that I took first time. I took this screen shot when I was riding Toei Shinjuku line maybe... But I didn't notice that until I found this screen shot on my camera roll... :(

Notice on this screen shot means "You can't connect to network then try other network". Then I couldn't finish my application right so I did that command to quit my application... maybe...

Anyway, I'm sorry that I couldn't post my weblog yesterday. (I posted it but that was like comment...) My condition is still not good so I will go to bed as soon as possible.

Thank you!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Seminar

Today I absented from college to take the seminar. This is the first time to take seminar alone. I studied image processing 10 a.m. to 5 p.m... The seminar was really tough. But it was really good for me. I hope that I can share this experience for my research.

Anyway, I could enjoy our college's festival on Saturday and Sunday. Our shop went good. And I could enjoy fireworks of course, I took some photos during the festival. I'll upload some photos as soon as possible to my web page.

And I'll write the report of my weblog visitors. 118 people visited my weblog in October. And its page views were 166, they came from 20 countries/territories. It has been new record of my weblog since I started analysis with "google analysis". So, thank you very much.

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Funny drink















I found funny drink at the convenience store near my house. "Marimokkori drink". "Marimokkori" is famous Japanese character originated in Hokkaido. There are many types of goods of "Marimokkori". Key rings, dolls, straps...

And today, I found drink of "Marimokkori" at the convenience store. Most of drinks that are selling at convenience stores' price are about 140 yen. But this "Marimokkori drink" was expensive... Its price was 504 yen...
Too expensive, I thought. But I bought it. LOL

Anyway, the flavor of "Marimokkori drink" was apple flavor. And its taste was good.

But...
Expensive!!!
I found baseball, swimmer and judo version of Marimokkori but I think there are more assortments. But I won't buy it never.

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

White coke













Pepsi is really nice company, I think. Because they have much humor. In fact, they released ice cucumber last year. And now they turned to white. "Pepsi white"

Pepsi's new flavor is yogurt. White Pepsi is limited time offer from 21 October. I didn't know about this limited time offer but my friend told me about this. Then I went to supermarket store near my college and bought one.

First, it is not coke. And its taste is not so good, I think. In fact, I don't like it... But I like its design. LOL
If you can, you should try it.

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

The reading week












From this Monday, we are in reading week(読書週間"Week that encourage to read books"). This week will continue until 9, November. Number of books that Japanese people read in a month are the lowest level in the world. Many Japanese people don't read books... Especially young Japanese people don't read books. 

I think, it is necessary to read books to communication. If we read books more, we can get knowledges more. And reading books is very effective for our humanity.

So, I'll read book!
You too?

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!

Special direct mail about Nenkin











Yesterday, I got direct mail from Japanese Health Minister Youichi MASUZOE. Special direct mail about Nenkin (ねんきん特別便"Nenkin Tokubetsubin"). Social Insurance Agency send this direct mail to check data of national pension plan subscribers. Every Japanese over 20 yrs old need to subscribe national pension plan. But there were some miss records in national pension plan. Then they started sending direct mail to check miss records since December, 2007.

I started subscribe national pension plan since September, 2008. I posted about that last month.

I believe that there are no miss record on my record... Because I subscribed that in last month...

But I need to check and send it back. Of course, there were no miss records then I send "No problem" mail to Social Insurance Agency. I don't like mail like this. Because it is tough for me to read everyone who got this direct mail agree with this, I believe.

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
