Hard to study at home...

2008-09-13T15:23:00.003+09:00

Well,That's my honest feeling right now.

It was so hard to study at home.Shall I quit?

Tell me what should I do?

At first I will explain what's going on.

I became a correspondence student to major English at Nihon University this April.I planned this last December.I worked so hard to enter this University.But There is no examination to be a correspondence student.If you pay money and write some documents You can become a student.If you graduate You will get a degree as same as the other normal student.But I can't. I have my full time job as web programmer.But I wanted to get an University degree if possigle.That's why I choose this way...

I work for unsual company.They don't have the office.They clients give us a job by email.Sometimes we will have a meeting at their office and we work at home with computers.and we send a email back and done.That's my job...I thought I am used to WORK at home.therefore I am available to STUDY at home too.

However I couldn't so far....

On my plan I am suppose to get some units so far now.But none for now...

hmm....

I took English IV and English V. English IV was okay.It was normal textbook and can study really well with it but English V.... It was like reading a british sarcastic book and translate...It was really hard for me.And I don't understand at all...

I guess I give up this English V now. My goal is graduating the University but I need to improve my English too.If so I don't have to focus on this stupid subject.Maybe When I improve my English later I may be able to work on it...

Anyway I am gonna finish and work on English IV now.I hope to pass the exam next month...awww 2 weeks to go..Am I gonna make it? Wish me luck.

Joined my wife's meeting and event by Tokyo Bay Cruising.

2008-09-01T15:10:00.002+09:00

I had a business meeting at Shinagawa in the morning.I was so exhausted because of the last week so I went to home straightly.And I got a phone call from my wife ,just 3 steps away from apartment. She wanted me to take her normal clothes to her meeting location as soon as possible.*phew*

She had a meeting in Shibuya.Actually kinda closed to my meeting location but I was on my way back Tokyo again... I wasn't hard to look for the building where she is at.And Surprisingly I joined the meeting in her company.It was kinda quite fun though.I could see how was she doing and working.I am so proud of her now.:-)

I wasn't expected but Her Boss offered me to go to the party after the meeting.I thought that I could be good opportunity for me to get along with Japanese and foreign teachers together so I gladly accepted.

The party was Tokyo Bay Cruising Food and Drinking party.We could eat and drink whatever we want.It was kinda unusual for me to join the event that I don't belong to but I could enjoy so much.hmm...I dont mean that I dont belong there completely because I work on their website.

After that party We moved to Karaoke.Actually I hate Karaoke.Simply I am not good at singing.I hope to sing nicely but I am not...but It was fun anway.

When I got to home.I was so tired.So I didn't take so long to fall in sleep.It was really fun day for me.I wish to join again.

I am back again.

2007-08-13T15:53:00.000+09:00

As a place of Green tea production,Shizuoka prefecture is the most famous place but Iruma city is also known for prorducting the Sayama Tea.If you drive for a while you will jump into the green tea farm around here.

Green tea is knowsn as heathly drink.It make you to stop the cancer.That's why Japanese live really long time?! haha...I am not sure but It must be related too..

Anyway if you are interested in Japan Please try the first gate of Japanese culture,Green tea!

We have a long vacation in Japan called Golden Week.Most of Japanese people has been waiting for this long vacation.Some family plans for trip to Hokkaidou or Okinawa.Some young couple plans for oversea's trip.A lot of people take a trip in this season.

Golden Week is typcial Japanese holiday.There are 3 or 4 national holidays such as like Children Day stralightly.so It will be kinda long holidays.I also am planning to go take a trip to Nagano prefecture to stay in lake-side hotel and see the nature.There is a famous huge lake,Shirakaba lake.And it is known for beautiful nature and flowers.

My new life with someone special.

2006-04-20T14:38:00.000+09:00

I am kina happy late with my new life.Last week My girlfriend came to see me and staying with my family now.She can't speak Japanese perfectly yet but she is trying to improve her Japanese now.Since I have started teaching her She almost memorized Hiragana and can talk simple Japanese.It is still hard for her to communicate with my mom but It seems really okay now.Of course My mom doesn't speak English either so she always make sign to tell my girlfriend.It looks kinda funny but really happy.My mom always care about her lately.like buying food and bags and talking to her alot Even if my girlfriend doesn't understand.I guess My mom is just happy to have new family.And It is a cute girl... Since me and My sister started working We always get late and we didn't have so much chance to talk to our mom but My girlfriend is always there.That's why she looks happy lately...

They must be going to shopping today.I am wondering how will they communicate today?! When I think about it It makes me laugh.As I thought My mom sent email to me to talk to my girlfriend.lol hehe...okok I will help you.. I hope that my mom could learn some English to communicate at least but It seems really hard for her because she is studying the computer and it still also looks difficult.In this case my girlfriend should be able to speak to her in Japanese because she is really young and she can pick up words really quicly..My mom is too old to learn something new now..hehe. My girlfriend will start taking Japanese lesson at City office from next Saturday.I used to go there to teach Japanese sometimes when I was student.I didn't expect to go there back again.But I am kind of happy.

She will be staying with us next 3 months.She might have alot of troubles such as like cultural difference and languages here in Japan but I will help you as much as I can! Dakara Ganbatte ne!

Sakura watching

2006-04-18T11:58:00.002+09:00

I went to Chichibu to see Sakura with my friends.Finally My girlfriend came to Japan from the Netherlands so I wanted to show her the beautiful sakura! But Unfortunately It was almost gone around Saitama and Tokyo so we had to go drive the mountain area such as like Chichibu and Tama area around here.There was a famous sakura watching place in Chichibu called Shiba-Zakura.

This is shiba-zakura! Yes Sakura is basically tree but this shiba-zakura is grasses!

This is my sweet girlfriend in front of beautiful flowers and mountain.*smile*

This is sheep I found in the park.Their voice sounds like human to me.I am so surprised...

How can we send the money internationally?

2006-04-13T17:25:00.000+09:00

How can we send the money internationally? CityBank? Well I suggest you to use Wester Union Money Transfer Service.If you use this service You can send your money anywhere you want over countries! The fee changes by the money you want to send so Please ask about the fee at the nearest Western Union Office.

In Japan Suruga Bank take charge of Western Union.Basically You have to go to the Suruga Bank but If you get money in Japan You should make a bank account there.If you You can transfer the money into your Suruga Bank Account and you can withdrawn any ATM and the convenience stores near you!

Now that I am trying to open the bank account for Suruga bank now.They say that It will take 2 weeks...Sigh Make it right now...

Unfortunately you can enjoy this for a week.That's all.Their life is so short.After that you have to wait for the next year...That makes me really sad.But We can wait for that.Because that is really incredibly beautiful!

2006-03-26T20:06:00.000+09:00

I went to my friend house to change the battery for my motorcycle.I left him there last week because the battery almost died last Saturday...

It was really hard for us to get rid of old battery.It was really deep inside of the body and tough.30 minutes later We could replace the one finally.And The engine really started easily! I am so surprised!!! It made me so happy though!

My friend's wife is gonna have a baby soon.Probably next week or so.I really hope that they will have a healthy baby!

WBC : Japan,the first WBC Champion!

2006-03-21T15:40:00.004+09:00

Japan did it! Japan beats Cuba,the most strongest baseball country!YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

They really did good job!! Ichiro did it! But Cuba's players were so amazing!They didn't stop until end...I was almost shocked in 8 inning...

I really appreciate this WBC.I wasn't interested in baseball anything at all.I haven't watched any games here.According to the TV reporter Japan has been started playing the baseball 50 years behind from the US.Japan was folling the US.But Finally We could! But Korea was also strong.They could improve how strong they are.

Anyway Congratulations,team Japan!

Nice pitching by Matsuzaka

Ichiro got a hit after Japan scored 2 points

WBC:Japan vs Cuba

2006-03-21T12:45:00.000+09:00

The histrical game,Japan vs Cuba has been started finally in the US!

Nippon cha cha cha!

WBC:Go for Champion!

2006-03-19T22:18:00.000+09:00

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!! Japan beats Korea! Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They did really good job today.I was sooo happy about it! But I don't know why.I was alittle bit sad about Korea.I feel sorry for them as a friend of Asian country...

The day after tomorrow Japan will play to Cuba,the most strongest Baseball country all over the world... I am not sure what's gonna happen.But Now that The US is not only country as baseball country.Japan and Korea are strong enough to prove our power to the world.That's why We have been play really good game with Korea... Let's go for the dream.Let's go for Champion!

WBC:Japan will revenge!

2006-03-18T13:43:00.000+09:00

Who expected that is it gonna happen?Japan will go to Semi-Finaly?Nobody did!It is not exception for Oh-manager and Ichiro.

Yes Mexico beat the US on WBC yesterday and Japan will go to the Semi-Final and play the game with Korea again!!I was sooo happy about it! I almost cried!!What kinf of histrical scene is it? Japan has to play the game with Korea 3 times?! Nobody expected that is gonna happen!

Ichiro said," It was the most disgracefull day for me in my baseball life" After he lost Korea. aw....Ichiro I could understand though.But they were strong.We have to admire that.That is the truth.

But the God gave us a chance again.We can't loose the 3 times with the same team.

I am worried about one thing...That stupid Judgement,Bob is gonna check the game our game,who misjudged Nishioka's play and Mexico's dreamlike homerun... I just hope that he won't do something wrong again...

I could tell one thing.Korea and Japan are really strong team in this WBC.They play really nice game farely.I really hope that they are gonna play nice game again!

Wrong judgement on WBC,Japan vs USA

2006-03-14T12:02:00.000+09:00

The histrical wonderfull game,World Baseball Classic,has been playing in the US right now.Japan passed 1st stage gladly and went to 2nd stage.They played a game with USA on 13nd morning.It was wonderfull morning.Japan and US flag were in the sky proudly.For Japan,it was so greatfull game to play with the US in the US.The Baseball game was made by American and it was brought to Japan almost 50 years ago.Therefor There are alot of MLB players in the US and Japan was still behind from the US.I admire that.But We were getting stronger.We produced fantastic players such as like Matsui and Ichiro.We proud of them.

I thought The game was played without problems.But It happened in 8 inning.3 vs 3.It was still even game.Japan was strong.Of course US too.But it seems that Japan were forcing the US.Japan turn,the bases are full.It was favorable for Japan.Japan got a hit!and the US got his ball ,and in this time,Nishioka ran to the home and he made it!Yes! We got a point! 4-3.We won this game! Everyone thought that.But it happened...The coach and players of the US apealed that Nishioka left the base before the US get the ball... Therefore The judge suddenly changed his judge to Nishiokai is out...

WHAT?!

Then our 1 point is gone.After that They got a point and we couldn't win....

I really don't care about who is winner or not.The point is how can they change the judgement so easily.It is an international game.American ESPN also says that It was wrong call.I also saw the video of that and I also think that It was wrong....

First,It is the International game.Each of countries play as the leader of country.They can't change the rule so easily!

Second,Why is the judgement guy American? and check their country game? That is really wrong.World Cup Soccer,They never do that.It has be changed definitely.

I love the US and American... But I can't stand that!!! but...I want all the countries to play the baseball farely... Thats my wish.

I wasn't so interested in baseball basically.I have never watched the baseball game in Japan.It was soooo boring for me.However It was soo fun for me to watch WBC.I don't know why.Probably We can be proud of their nationary and They also play their countries diginity...

WBC,It has been just started.There are alot of problems now.I really hope that It will be changed farely.

2006-03-08T13:57:00.006+09:00

It is sooo warm today! I really can't believe this! I feel so confortable and nice! so I went to cycling with my favorite bike :-)

There is a huge park near the office called Shinjuku Chuuou Kouen(Shinjuku Central Park).It is kinda big park.

I like Spring.The wind is really warm and the flower will start blooming and alot of young girls will wear light color of clothes.(lol) I hate really cold weather.I can't move anything.But I feel like playing some sports in Spring! Maybe Badminton?

Walking down to the Iruma city park

2006-03-05T16:22:00.002+09:00

I have to work really alot on weekday.Therefore I sometimes forget the of its days.So I always tries to do something else on weekend if I didn't have to work.Unfortunately I always have to do something but I worked off this week.

There is a huge park near my house called Iruma Park.I sometimes go walk for a walk here.I took some of pictures of this park today.Check this out!

This is the entrance of Iruma Park.The park is kind of huge.And A lot of people visits here on Weenend for running,play some sports.

I found a cute dog under the chair.Personaliy I don't dislike the animals.I really like them.I just don't want them to be in the house.

The flower has been started blooming here.yeah I can feel it.It is getting warm now.The Spring is comming.This flower is Ume.It is not a sakura(Cherry Blossom.).They bloom faster than Sakura.

There is a water faountain over there.

Ohh...The pegeon got near me.I guess He wants some food from me...Gomen ne... I don't have anything to give you boys.but I have a coffee here.You want some?

Look at this sign.Don't get into the water and catch the fishes.yes I understand about it but...but...How about birds? lol

A lot of people are playing sports here and taking a rest...That's really great though.

I was just walking in the park and calling my friends on the phone.It is really good to come to the park sometimes but I get bored...Hmm...I wish I could come here with somebody special person....

Wold Baseball Classic

Wold Baseball Classic
Originally uploaded by hypermkt.

Who is the No.1 Baseball country all over the world? Well,Probaly We could say the US.Because The Major League is really great strong league all over the world so far.However a lot of coutries are getting strong lately.Japan has alot of great players such as like Ichiro and Matsui.

World Baseball Classic is the World Baseball tournament! It is teh baseball version of World Cup!!! I was soo waiting for this long time!!!

Japan is not so bad country in baseball actually.We have kind of long history in baseball.According to the history American people brought Japan the baseball.American people gave the idea of 2 leagues for Japan.Thefore We could get stronger every years.And We could produce a wonder player such as like Ichiro and Matsui!

I hope Japan will win!Ganbatte!

2006-03-03T11:49:00.000+09:00

Gackt comes to high school for a promise
Originally uploaded by hypermkt.

Japanese famous visual singer Gackt suddenly appeared in the graduation celemonry to a high school for a promise.And He gave them a song,'No ni saku hana no you ni'.

It happened right after its celemony finished.A tall guy with black court and sunglass,He walked on the stage queitly.A lot of students were so surprised about it.Why did he come to a high school really far away?

Gackt told them the reason.
'I got an email from a student of this high school and this person has been asking him to come to the graduation celemony.so I am here to make a promise!!!!' said he.

This school had a student problems.They made a new course in school but they coudn't get enough students for it.And Gackt had experience of living in Tokyo and Hanshin Earthquare.Thats why one of student asked him by email.

Gackt listened this person's eagerness and had a present for them.
' I decided to come here 3 days ago. and I made a song for you all night long...'.

Some of students were crying....It was such a short time.However It was really greatfull time for them.

Tochou - Tokyo Metropolitan Goverment Office

I found 2 foreigners looking for the ways with maps on the street while I was walking to the office this morning.I wondered That's really good chance!!

'Can I help you' said I.

They were looking for Tochoumae Station,Oedo line with maps.I told them I always pass by there when I go office so I will take you there.

They are Americans from Los Angels,California.I talked with them about their trip and my trip to the US.They really liked my English.lol

I was so happy to help those people who need help.Tokyo is kind of city jungle.It is really easy to loose your way.That's why I wanna help those people if I can! Maybe I need to grab the board that says Need help?! hehe...

Anyway I go back to work now watching that building from the window...

Gyao is the broadband website where you can watch alot of movies for free! Everything is free.You can watch news,drama,sports,anime,entertainment,idol,movie!

But There is one condition to visit this website.You have to visit this website from Japan.It is only available from Japan...I really hate that idea.so I couldn't watch anything from the Netherlands...Poor Usen(their company)

Anyway If you are in Japan and have a free time You should visit that! Oh yeah...Of course It is Japanese website.You need Japanese skill though.lol or ask your Japanese friend for help!

We have Macdonalds all over the world.We always see it.It seems that all of cities in Japan has it.Every 100m We might see it here.Because There are at least 10 stores in Shinjuku city...

Anyway When you go to foreign country It is really interesting to see the menu of Macdonalds.

For example Tekiyaki Mac Burger is from Japan.Tekiyaki sauce is kind of Japanese sauce.Now that you might see in your country this menu.

When I went to the Netherlands I found their original menu.but I forgot the name of it...

If you have the original menu in your country please Let me know!

And One of funny thing I want to teach you.We have a different name for Macdonalds between East and West Japan.People from Eastern Japan call it as Makku(similar as Mac) but Western Japan call it as Makudo(short for MacDo).So if your Japanese friends says in Japanese like heyy Let's go to Makudo now! then they might be from around Osaka.and I say Of course Makku.hehe...But Of course it is not always true.Just keep it mind but It is kind of famous story here.

By the way I don't dislike Macdonalds so much.I just can't eat so much.I rarely go there.

but I can tell you this.

I'm loving it!

Free Japanese Lesson

2006-02-20T13:22:00.000+09:00

I am really glad to see the foreign people who love to study Japanese and our culture.I really want to help them.But I can't teach 100 people.Of course not.But Luckly Each of Japanese cities help those foreigners.It is free class.Basically It is gonna cost alot to study language in school but Most of city office open the free Japanese classes for foreigners who live your city.Volunteer people who speak English will teach you Japanese.If you try You can take Japanese class every day whole week! Monday for your city,Tuesday for the city next to your city,Wednesday for the other city! hehe... You don't need provement such as like working visa or something like that.It's just city's friendly thing.You can enjoy anytime.If you want to know these information Call city foreign department and ask them right away!

2006-02-07T22:31:00.000+09:00

Finally It came out on the theater.I have been waiting for this movie really long time.This movie basically comes from the comic,Saishuuheiki Kanojo.Shuji and Chise are two Hokkaido high school students barely starting a relationship with each other. Then, with no warning, a squadron of bombers from an unknown country destroy the city of Sapporo. All hope is lost when suddenly, the bombers are destroyed by a small red light floating across the sky. At this point, Shuji finds out that the one responsible for eliminating the enemy forces is Chise, who reveals herself as a cyborg engineered for mass-destruction.

*cries* I really have to see this movie in the theater and get the DVD asap! I was a fan of this comic.It made me cry alot.

Yahoo Auction is fun!

2006-01-30T10:12:00.000+09:00

Lately I am always trying do to something new! I started doing day trading as you know.And Last week I started to Yahoo Auction lately.I was always buying there but I finally exbihited my stuff! I sold 2 of my books already.It was kind of good price.In Japan There are alot of Used Book store so I could sell them really easily but It won't make any good money I knew that.If possible We want to get alot of money you know.So I wanted to sell my books on yahoo auction...but I am really surprised that I could sell them with nice price!I think I am gonna sell my useless stuff on Yahoo Auction.There are alot of books and stuff in my room... I wanted to get rid of them.

But Let me tell you my advice... Don't teach your girlfriend how to use Auction.Really long time ago A guy was sold his car by his girlfriend becahse that guy made his girlfriend really mad.Girls are really scary.Don't make them mad.so be carefull what you say!

My new hobby,Day trading!

2006-01-28T17:21:00.000+09:00

I started doing my new hobby latley.In Japan We call it Day Trading.Day trading is a person who buy and sell the stocks really quickly and make the money.I got an account for Rakuten Securities and software Market Speed.In Japan The ecomony is getting better.and The fee of buying and selling stocks is getting cheep becuase of Internet Trading.So the people who plays day trading was increasing in Japan.Basically The stock was really expensive.It costed aleast a couple of thousand dollars.But The company also wanted money from Investor alot.Therefore they made their stocks cheaper so We could buy it really easity.

Alot of people are making money by day trading.But on the other side Alot of people are loosing money.It is really easy to loose the money if you don't know the rule of day trading.Mine is not exeption.I am just started studying lately.I have alraedy lost $100.but I want to study for it.It is cheaper than tuition for University.

If you are curious about the stocks You should start day trading! but It is risky!

Awwwww!! Horiemon finally arrested....

2006-01-23T21:53:00.000+09:00

I was so fan of him.Japanese companies and American companies are totally different.In Japan We have our own tradtional salary and culture in the company and keep doing that for a long time.However Time has changed.The system of Japanese company was switching into American system lately.Livedoor is not exception.Have you heard of M&A? M&A is a system of buying and selling the company.Horiemon from Livedoor made his company bigger to make its sotck higher by M&A. Yes He was kind of American mind.That's why some Japanese companies were kind of scared of him.

However his mind to fight for old Japanese company looked so strong for young Japanese people.Therefore There are alot of fans of him.He is just a boss of company but He was a star in Japan.My mom also knows about him.lol We have been believed that He will break our Japanese old rules and change Japan...

But...He was arrested because of his way of M&A.I am not sure what's going on and happenes from now on.The stock of livedoor is finally 256YEN now.It is still going down....awww...What's gonna happen to him?

It is really famous news in Japan right now.If you want to know what's happening in Japan right now,Search by Livedoor at Yahoo.com and understand the news.

Meat Sandwich? It's really easy to cook this food.First Stir Onion and chopped pork on the pan and put a salt alittle bit.After that Put a BBQ sauce and mix it for a while.And then Put these meat stuff on the baked bread and put the cheese and push them into oven for 5 minutes! Its really easy to cook!!! However I am really tired of eating of this... *sigh* I ate too much last night.I ate 4 of it... *dies*

A coming-of-age ceremony

2006-01-09T19:22:00.000+09:00

A comming of age celemony,if you turn into 20 years old There is a celemony for 20 years old people in January.We call it,Seijinshiki(A comming of age celemony).Basically It is really boring.lol It's just listening somebody's speech and That's all.We go to the City Hall and listen them.But Alot of boys and girls wear Japanese traditional clothes like this.

Seijinshiki

And It's really good to see old friends there.After We graducated from Junior high school It's kind of hard to see old friends but Mostly we see there again.

I also went to seijinshiki when I was 20.I met alot of old friends.I also have a quetion for you.How many old friends do you have now? In my opinion It's really hard to keep friends from elementary school.Right now I have 5 or 6 or so.But some peopele says less than 3.and When we get older They will get married and moving out form the city.Therefore It will be more harder.That's why I want to keep my old friends.They are so important to me.We can't buy the friendship by money.

Going to Irumashi tonight.

2006-01-08T16:42:00.000+09:00

I am going back to Iruma to see my friends tonight.Actually I have to give my souvenir for my friend.So I will stay in my house tonight.But There is one thing I really hate to stay there is,I can't use the internet there.*sigh* I will get bored...I must be kind of computer sick now.

As you know Some people are sick for something.Like Tabacoo,Coke,Car,TV,blabla...I thought twice that What am I sick about?
Working,Money,Foreigner,Girlfriend,TV,Coffee,Cellphone,Computer,Internet. If I don't have these things I would be dead...

How about you? What do you need definitely in your life?

Snowing alot in east Japan but not in Tokyo

2006-01-07T17:58:00.000+09:00

According to the forecast information Alot of people are dying by snowing in east Japan.It makes me really surprised that snow.In my life I haven't seen the snow like that.Mostly in Tokyo We don't see it but Rarely It gets snowed here and sometimes make the train system in Tokyo stop.

Snowing

Awww.... It is really really cold here though.I like Winter because I love Snowboarding,Christmas and New years.I just don't like this coldness.Plus It is really hard for me to drive my motorcycle....*sigh* Oh yeah...I broke my motorcycle mirror last year.That was really really sucks... So I am bidding my mirror in Yahoo Auction now.

Aww...I am in Japan now.I feel like I am still in the Netherlands and walking with a dog and girlfriend in town.But I will go back there again!!! sooooooo! Let's do the best!

Back from the Netherlands

2006-01-03T19:05:00.000+09:00

My dream place,I finally could go to the Netherlands.I stayed there almsot 2 weeks around Christmas.

I stayed in my girlfriend house.So I could see Dutch way of Christmas.Look at this on couch!! There are a lot of Christmas for us! Most of christmas presents on couch was for me...I was so impressed and surprised.I will really appreciate them.

After the Christmas I and her family visited Antwerpen,Belgium by car.This car driving also made me surprised!Because We could visit another country by car without immigration gate! Wow! Since EU(European Union) was established There is not country border anymore.It seems like a state or prefecture for me.

I am so surprised when I visted this huge church! According to the Netherlands Guidebook,It says 'Onze-Lieve-Vrouwkathedraal'.In Japanese 'ノートルダム大聖堂'.This place was the model of The dog of Franders.

This is the beautiful scene of Beluguim.It is so beautiful street.This is Ernest Van Duckkaai street and you can see the Castle of t'Steen ahead.

I could see alot of beautiful place in the Netherlands and Belguim.But the only thing I am so sad about it I couldn't speak Dutch.You know My trip is not normal sightseeing one.My way is always staying with its local family and see how do they live thre.Therefore I always need their language and understand about them.Of course It is not really easy at all.According to the Dutch textbook,Dutch is Germanic language and It is spoken in the Netherlands and North Belguim.Even if Dutch people could speak English really well It's just around young people.So If I want to enjoy the life in the Netherlands and work there some day I really need to speak Dutch.Of course if I visit there as visitor I don't need it.People in giftshop speak English.

Anyway I really enjoyed staying in the Netherlands.I really appreciate my girlfriend family.Thank you very much for taking care of me.I really definitely wanna go back to there again and next time I wanna visit France and somewhere else by train.

A happy new year!!!

XBOX360 finally came out in Japan!

2005-12-13T12:04:00.000+09:00

XBOX360 finally came out in Japan.Microsoft did a countdown event in Shibuya at TSUTAYA.According to the news Alot of people were waiting for me.Am I gonna get it? I think I don't think so in this time.I am also a game fun but not a XBOX fun at all.

But I want to think about XBOX's strategy now.First They started to sell the XBOX faster than Play staion 3.Because It was one of the reason that the first XBOX couldn't beat the Play staion 2.and Second,XBOX has alot of softwares at first.The softwares are really important for hardware.Nothing can do without games.and In this time Microsoft hired Japanese famous game creater and companies such as like Square-Enix.I still remember really long time ago that when the playstation 2 produced in Japan.My friend bought a playstation 2 with Final Fantasy 7(?) maybe.The users choose the hardware by games basically.That's why They aimed this point.I guess It was really wise and accurate idea.So In the near future we will see Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy on XBOX360 soon.and Their commercial are showing on TV every day.and The grest thing is they built the XBOX show room building called XBOX lounge in Tokyo.How rich they are..

It seems a Game War.A histrical game company Sony Computer Entertainment Inc will produce a Play staion 3 next spring.and Incredibly fast marketing and huge strategy XBOX360 came out all over the world faster than Sony.Which one is be the one? I am not sure but I am really curious about this game.

How to get a job in Japan.

2005-11-01T11:37:00.000+09:00

Lately I have been searching about getting a job in Japan for foreigners.So I am gonna write down some memos here.

Firstly,There are a lot of foreigners who wants to work in Japan.But The situation is still hard.But for me It seems easiear than I work in the US.Because Since WTC The immigration of US has been changed alot but Japanese people really love foreigners.Here is the way of getting a job in Japan as my ideas.

*Get a sponcer company in Japan
Which means,get a working visa.At least You have to have a University degree.If so You can be a English teacher easily.

*JET
JET(Japanese English Teacher) program is the program for foreigners who wants to be English teacher and teaches English for Japanese school.This program is based on goverment.
JET

*Get married with Japanese person
Which means,get a Marriage Visa.Then automatically you will be a Japanese person and you will be able to stay in Japan and work here.

*Study in Japan
There are 2 kinds of visa for this.Student visa and Cultural visa.Student visa is for the student who study in University mostly.Cultural visa is the student who study in Japanese school.Basically it seems similar but Cultural visa student can not work.

*Visitor
If you come Japan as visitor Basicaly you will be able to stay for 90 days.If you stay more than 90 days You will be over stay and cant come back Japan for 3 years.

Hm,In my opinion If you wanna be a English teacher in Japan It's really easy for you to work in Japan.I have met alot of foreign friends.I think JET program is the best for you to come to Japan at first.Because They are gonna cover your salary,Japanese textbook and insurance thing.Most importantly,The job is not so hard and wont be tired.However,It's still hard to get a job here if you can't be English teacher here.In Japan Most of Japanese people can't speak English.Some people can but Mostly not.I really hope that one day we will be truely international country...

After the meeting

2005-10-27T20:26:00.000+09:00

Mainly I work as web designer but I do work as sales man too latel so I am loosing my job...hehe

It still makes me nervous to go to the client companay.Don't you think? So In order to make me calm down I always go there 1 hour ago and clean up the stoty what I have to talk somewhere like coffee shop.But This 1 hour is such a really long time actually.So I always think that what should I do?

So I went to the department store near by and tried to go to the book store.When I was on my way going to the client company I heard somebody young girl's screaming!so I looked back suddenly,and made me sooo surprised... A really small baby was falling off!!!on escalator!!!! ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Impossible!!

so I jumped up on the escalator and threw away my bag.and I could catch this baby safely...phew....

He?She was really okay.But The baby got hurt on his forehead.I was so sorry for this baby....His mom was soo appreciating to me alot and I just said'No problem,mam.I just did what I have to do.' *smile*

However MOM! You can't do this definitely! You can't get on escalator with baby buggy!It's sooo dangerous!Don't do this anymore!!!

*sigh*

but I proud of myself that I helped him...

Nemui(Sleepy)

2005-10-21T12:56:00.000+09:00

Awww...I am so tired.... It's 12 pm in the afternoon in Japan right now.I got to office from client company.Last night I was working here all night long almost so I am incledibly sleepy... I have to do some little jobs now.After that I can go home...I guess I wont wake up until tomorrow.

Japaese people are workaholic.Yeah I really think so...lol thats why I wanna move to foreign country.Somebody please hire me in your country!

Playing sports at JJCLUB

2005-10-16T20:00:00.000+09:00

Last night I got a phone call from my friend suddenly.and He ask me to play the basketball at 9 PM.What would you do if you are in my shoes? Of course I haven't played any sports lately and I was kind of lazy so I would say Yes!

We always go to JJCLUB to play game,sports in the night.

JJCLUB

JJCLUB

JJCLUB is the entertainment place where we can play video game,internet,Karaoke,sports all night long.It is 24 hours store?.And The price is really simple.15 minutes for 100 yen(1 euro or 1 dollar).Even if you stay there for a while,It's just 400yen!

That's why It's getting so popular here in Japan.If you have a opportunity to play game or sports in the night,Go JJClub!

So We went to JJCLUB to play basketball.and When we play the game,we always decide the looser.After that He has to take the punishment!Today,He lost by lifting game...so He was attacked by ball from us...hehe Be carefull when you play the game with me! but I really enjoyed.

The new video iPod came out

2005-10-14T02:57:00.000+09:00

The new video iPod was announced by Steve Jobs,CEO,Apple Computer.It can play the video in iPod.and In the near future I can download the movies and songs from the net like PSP.

hmmm... It is really similar to PSP but PSP doesn't have a Hard Disk Drive like iPod.We have to buy the Memory Stick to save the MP3 files and video files otherwise we cant see the video and songs in PSP.But I think Some day Sony will produce the new PSP such as like new iPod.but I have been thinking which is the best product for the users?

hmm...

The Winter is here.

2005-10-12T11:07:00.000+09:00

I go to the office by motorcycle as always.But if I try to go in the early morning,The road sign might suddenly bite my ass so I have to drive really carefully.

awww It's really cold,The Winter is definitely comming.It taste so good to drink the coffee in the morning,especially the first taste,wouldn't it?!

2005-10-10T02:23:00.000+09:00

Actually It was the present from my girlfreind.I appreciate you,honey!

If you know some good ideas how to use PSP Let me know!

Will be back!

My busiest job is finally done!

2005-10-06T22:10:00.000+09:00

This is kind of my selfish point but... I still wanna say that I am a web designer although but I have been programming every for a couple of months.Grrr....but It is really okay because I have to be the person who can make the design,programe and make new ideas...(I am keep saying myself).

So I couldnt update my blog lately but I think that I can come back here again.I hope so...

By the way,Do you like the pets? To tell you the truth I am not a fan of dog and cats.I know They are cute.I love them.I like to touch cats especially but Honestly I don't want to have pets in my room.Because they make mess and poop on the floor.I don't like that smell...hmm.... but I found a great doggy in Odaiba.Look at him.

The job of Web designer

2005-09-06T18:32:00.000+09:00

I am working as Web designer in Tokyo.I am belong to the company but basically I produce the website from the starting to the end.Therefore I have to do everything by myself.I am feeling that The price of website is getting cheap lately.The business of Web design and Shopping online is spreading all over the world and of course in Japan but The job of Web designer and Web programmer is getting so popular now.In another word,It is saturating.The price of Website is getting cheap but The request of making website is increasing.I am so glad to get alot of requests but I am not a super man.I am just a human with 2 hands.I can't do everything at once.However I have to think about my salary and maintaining about office.In that case how can I increase the monthly amount sold? Some day I am thinking of starting own business in the US or another foreign countries I can speak with English.Before I move there I need to start the new business I can make the money constantly... hmm...

Does anyone has good idea for the website? For example,Yahoo started own search engine.It made their company bigger.However I need to invest alot of money to maintain the server and programme.I can't do it.I don't have to start the big website like that.Something convenient for everyone... hey my friends,What kind of website do you want? What kind of service do you want? Think what if we had a some services like that it makes us happy or convinient... In Japan A lot of new services are comming and they are getting new business.I want to start too.Just I don't have any ideas though even if I can make it...

if you have good idea of website Please help me.We can work on it together.Don't hesitate to email me.Something useless,boring idea might makes us happy.

Secondly,Well It's kind of shy to talk about it but I got a new girlfriend.I have been spending most of the time with her lately.For example,Last week I visited my hometown with my girlfriend and introduce my parents to her.We visited my elementary school,junior high school,park I really loved,aquarium store I always went when I was younger.

oh Yeah Not to change the subject but I was really upset about my computer and Playstaion2.2 Weeks ago Suddenly My computer broke.It didn't work property and doesnt start.I brought it to the office and trying to fix now but It is not fixed yet.and Last week SUDDENLY MY PLAYSTATION2 didn't start working DVD.Grrr....What the hell is going on in my apartment?!?!

TOEIC test

2005-06-27T10:19:00.000+09:00

Well...I have never felt a humilation like yesterday. I took an English test called TOEIC(Test of English for International Communication) yesterday.There are alot of kinds of English test in Japan.Eiken is the most famous test and TOEFL,TOEIC,UN Eiken.I took one of it.It is known for good on our resume.But I just wanted to know how good am I. However I wasn't.

The test has 2 parts.One is Listening part for 100 questions,1 hours.and The other one is reading parts for 100 questions,1 hours.It is tototally about 2 hours.I was understanding the listening part.I guess I could solve half of it.Because I knew that I must be good at listening.But the problem is reading section...I didn't understand most of them....*sigh* I have never studied English in English school.I have basically studied my English by myself.That's why I had a grammer and vocaburary problems.It was so horrible.

I have to work on my English from now on.I will try the TOEIC again.The maxiam of TOEIC point is 990.I may be getting around 400 in this time I guess....*sigh* But I will go for 990 of course!!!
